By Ramon Ricker.
More than a pattern book, this 80-page book lays out the theory behind the use of pentatonic scales in jazz, and follows with 12 pages of transcribed solos and 40 pages of exercises.
I think studying pentatonic scales (such as the blues scale I talk about all the time) can be a really helpful push into more interesting improvising for most students.
Still a favorite after 14 years, this book has become another standard in the field of jazz improv education.
