Endorsements

Richie Vitale is known in the jazz world as one who plays impeccable lines, as a matter of course, and Modern Patterns and Warm-ups For Jazz, Part Deux gives the lucky reader a further inside view into how Richie has been able to build that formidable, consistent vocabulary. Highly recommended! - Pete Malinverni, Chair of Jazz Studies, SUNY Purchase College Conservatory of Music

Jazz master Richie Vitale is one of the few jazz teachers who can actually play what he teaches. This book covers many of the main aspects of jazz improvisation: the use of pentatonic and melodic minor scales, tritone subs and atonal patterns. Coming from the tradition of Art Farmer and Woody Shaw, Richie is a player of the highest rank, a sublime soloist and brilliantly articulates this material for future generations of jazz masters. A must in the field of jazz education. - Antonio Ciacca

Richie Vitale has always been acknowledged as a great trumpet player and jazz improviser and with the publication of his new book establishes himself as an important educator as well. This book is a treasure trove of language and analysis and should be an essential part of any jazz musician’s practice routine. There are a lot of books out there vying for your attention but Richie Vitale’s is ahead of the pack - Gary Smulyan, Professor of Jazz Saxophone at SUNY Purchase and Rutgers University

Why I wrote this 2nd "Modern Patterns

and Warm-ups for Jazz" book:

Did I really need to write a 2nd book called Modern Patterns & Warm-ups for Jazz Part Deux?

Well, obviously so, since you're reading this right now and I wrote it . . . but let me tell you WHY I wrote it!

My first book A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvising began as xerox pages I eventually put in plastic protecter sheets
