"A beautiful meditation on the craft and life of a practicing musician, this book is filled with insights from a master player." - Julian Lage, Jazz Guitarist & Composer
"A book full of wise things bravo and thank you again!" - Paolo Sereno, Italian Fingerstyle Guitarist
"This book drew me in right away with it's beautifully articulated truths, bringing to mind Mick Goodrick's "Advancing Guitarist". As I read I found things, one after the other, that I wanted to share with students and spend much time with myself. The book gives you a sound and whole overview of the world of jazz improvisation study and performance, and allows you to zoom in on each landscape." - Abigail Zocher, Professor, Berklee College of Music
"A very nice collection of ideas to explore. Not so much about the specifics of any one subject, more of a sort of stream of conscious potpourri of different concepts and ideas for an aspiring musician to look into on their own. If you're looking for something new to practice, this book won't tell you specifically what to work on but will give you a lot of different approaches, and then leaves it up to you to pursue whatever interests you.” - Ben Sher, Associate Professor, Berklee College of Music
