Triadic Chromatic ApproachThis method is a new innovative approach to jazz improvisation developed and created by George Garzone over the last 25 years of teaching and playing. It teaches you how to generate non permutative lines. That means lines that aren't predictable or repetitive and sound totally fresh. It will allow you to play over chord changes without fear.

Hey David,
This looks like it's gonna be good stuff. I checked out some of Jody's lessons and this one is super funny (if you're a complete saxophone nerd,) featuring Espina playing in the snow and then a 100 degree room:

The DVD is out now for purchase.... I heard through the grapevine. Over 3 hours...2 DVDs... great stuff!! Lots and lots of music performances and play alongs. I have to get it!! I also saw he has a DVD release concert in New York if anyone is there to check it out!
well I,ve received it yesterday afternoon, and just started to watch it.
How can i say, i give to it 5/5 stars
He explains from the very begining his concept of triadic cromatic approach and give a lot of advice.
(even there is a pdf with examples and a explanation of the system)
For me it sounds kind of later Coltrane but more modern in some way.
One of the things he mentions is that just be carefull with this stuff, this is not what people expect from a "normal " jazz solo , and you,ve to have the basics very clear,
He also says that if not carefull, it can affect your carrear in a negative way, aka (you have to know what your doing, and where).
And his playing is killer!!
Also widescreen, very good quality production
***AMAZING STUFF****
