“I’ve admired Eric Jacobson’s artistry for years, and this book offers some insight into the fluidity, invention, and technical mastery he consistently brings to the bandstand. His approach is rigorous and pragmatic yet flexible, and he is especially effective in demonstrating both how to expand simple musical ideas and break more complicated ones down into their essential components. Highly recommended for students of all levels.” —Geof Bradfield, Professor of Jazz Saxophone and Jazz Studies at Northern Illinois University

 

"Eric Jacobson’s new book, Jazz Patterns: A Systematic Approach to True Internalization, provides a wealth of material with which jazz musicians can improve their ear and melodic memory. I like his exploration of interesting note choices, shapes, and intervals; and the harmonic content of the lines, including an interesting array of triad pairs. This would be an excellent foundation on which musicians can create their own lines and add their own rhythms. Highly recommended!—Bruce Barth, NYC, Adjunct Faculty at Temple University teaching Jazz Piano and Jazz Composition
