Project Objective

About the Author 

This volume of the jazz improvisational lines focuses upon the linear constructions basedupon the intervallic value of the perfect fourth, and sporadically, the augmented fourth.

The non-triadic formula generates ambiguous tonal emphasis, producing comparatively

invigorating sonority. The unremitting sequence of the perfect fourths and its inverted

version, the perfect fifths is used infrequently to avoid the predictable linear construction.

It is recommended that users start the exercises in a comfortable speed and gradually

 build up the facility to satisfy the technical demands in faster tempos.

Chang Jen-Kuang graduated from Berklee College of Music (B.M.), studying with

renowned jazz educators such as George Garzone and Fred Lipsius. He is working

toward his master degree with an emphasis on the music education in the Emporia State

University, Department of Music. While completing graduate study in ESU, he serves as

a Graduate Teaching Assistant and the MIDI LAB Assistant from 2002 to 2004. He is

currently working on his master thesis, an analytical study on the improvisation technique

of the celebrated jazz alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, which won the Harold Durst

Graduate Research Award in 2004.
