Bidirectional Contemporary Jazz Improvisation for All Instruments

About this ebook
The book is divided in scale, arpeggios, chromatic exercises and jazz lines phrases from Brecker, Berg, Mintzer, Coltrane, Henderson, etc.
These exercises should be transposed to all twelve (12) tones, so we can achieve perfect coordination.
Major, minor and dominant chords, extended to their highest level, scale wise, arpeggios and chromatic passages.
There are none signature centers, so all these exercises will be worked accidentally.
This project is an extension of my last five books of improvisation:
* Improvise Now
* 240 Chromatic Exercises + 1165 Jazz Lines Phrases
* Herbie Hancock The Blue Note Years
* John Coltrane & Michael Brecker Legacy
* Chris Potter Jazz Styles

Introduction
Bidirectional means travel or movement in two different directions. Most roads are bidirectional and allow traffic to travel in two different directions. Likewise, the human nervous system is bidirectional and capable of carrying information both to and from the brain and body.

In music, especially jazz scales, can move on a bidirectional way up and down. In nature, higher pitched sounds are usually made by smaller, lighter objects. Lower pitched sounds are made by bigger, heavier objects. Little things are likelier to be above you, and bigger things are likelier to be below you. Thus the metaphor of spatially higher
