Overview

Jazz improvisation is the spontaneous invention of melodic solo lines or accompaniment parts in a performance of jazz music. It is one of the defining elements of jazz. Writes the author, The name fakebook derives from the recognition that a jazz musician who is improvising over a set of chord changes is faking, making up his or her melody. The fakebook then is a place to start, the structure upon which music is completed. For this Fakebook, with its improvisations that pay homage to various greats like Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, and John Coltrane, and with its exploration of how jazz works, jazz is the place to start in coming to terms with one's limits, in music, and life.
