Classic Barry, well worth practicing. Love this material that your posting David. Check out my Barry Harris "impersonation" line if you get the chance.

Hi Dave,
what type of etudes are you recommending to get into rhythmic displacement. I am aiming at being able to play e.g 7/8 bar against a 4/4.
Many thanks in advance, Andreas

Josh,
Take a look at the last part of the Warne Marsh book I recently posted. There are a lot of great ideas for practicing rhythmic displacement in there. The Scribd document is set so that you cannot download the it, but you can view it if full screen and take screen shots of the relevant pages.
