"Major is Harmonic (and Other Essays)" is a book for all instrumentalists that explores the highly underrated Harmonic Major Scale and its applications for jazz improvisation.

• The book examines where the scale and its harmonies show up, such as in the so-called Bebop scales and in cellular improvisation.
• Jazz musicians from Charlie Parker to the present have used the Harmonic Major scale for such cases as the Eb7#9 in "Donna Lee" and the Abdim7b13 in "Corcovado."
• Gives you a way to discover 'hidden chords' outside of the basic diatonic chords in a scale.
• Examples from well-known jazz recordings are written out to show Harmonic Major's usefulness in real life playing.
• The book contains extensive exercises to develop fluency on this "forgotten scale," as well as fresh ways to practice bebop scales, quartal triads and tetrads, ten-note bebop scales, ways to use target notes during cellular improvising, and much more.

If you are serious about expanding your soloing vocabulary, this book will become an essential part of your practice regimen. Don't miss it!
