INTRODUCTION LJIBook III is entirely comprised of practice exercises intended to prepare the serious jazz improvisation student for the Chromatic Targeting of specific tunes, as prescribed in Book I. It is recommendedthat you study that first—or along with—this book, which develops each of the Twelve Seventh-Chord Types, using the Ten Chromatic Targeting Groups of LJI (see charts below). We supply these etudes intwo octaves here, with the ultimate goal of extending them to the entire range of the instrument. They will further acquaint you with the skills necessary to target Reduced Melodies, Guide ToneLines, and Root Progressions of specific tunes, such as those in the LJI Songbook Series. It is intended that you do these exercises by rote, one of the basic skills we intend to master. All Linear JazzImprovisation exercise books include state of the art Finale Notepad Playback with which to practice. Sing all of these exercises. Read each seventh chord at first if you must, but only as a startingpoint, since the goal is to make these patterns part of your vocabulary. Eventually you will be able to play them in a given tempo with the aid of a metronome alone. We use the key signature of nosharps or flats here for ease in reading and ideation. A key signature would be misleading, because any and all of these chords can appear in any key. In those few exercises which exceed the ranges ofthe tenor trombone (with no F attachment) and the bass, merely tacit them. Play these exercises at first without vibrato and inflection: Add them later.
