"Amazing!!!"
I purchased this course (1 and 2) many month ago and they are still very useful..there are many concepts inside that can help you develop a very strong, modern and clear approach to the improvisation; one of the best course i ever purchased and one of the few that goes deep inside the language.Tom is a great teacher and he explains very well every detail , he plays fantastic and the pdf material is well done.Thanks again Tom :)))
Tom did it again!<br /> This is also a great course - clearly structured, well prepared material - toms of information for years of practice.<br /> <br /> Don't hesitate, buy it!<br /> <br /> German:<br /> Ein großartiger Kurs - wieder einmal von Tom Lippincourt. Wie auch seine Harmony-Videos ist auch dieses klasse strukturiert mit sehr gutem Material - klare Sache: kaufen!
GET THIS! If you're into the modern jazz being played now by people like Gilad Hekselman, Lage Lund, Jonathan Kreisberg, Kurt Rosenwinkel and others alike, this is the lesson that will get you the tools you need to dive into that world. Since most of these concepts are fairly new, it's really hard to find information, wether it be books, videos or whatever. One is left with having to trancribe and trying to figure out on your own what is going on. While this approach is a tried and true way for learning, it does'nt hurt to have some help, and Lippincott really delivers on the aspects that matter most. This is one of very very few instructional materiasl you will find today on this subject, and for the price, it really is a no-brainer.
