This book/CD set presents a clear, comprehensive, one-step-at-a-time method for learning how to accompany an improvised jazz solo. As a sequel to Hal Crook's text 'How to Improvise', How to Comp offers precise explanations, practical exercises, recorded musical examples, four play-along tracks, and daily practice routines. How to Comp organizes a vast amount of information that helped to make the author's previous work a major contribution to jazz pedagogy.
