Learn to improvise like an instrumentalist! Artful vocal jazz improvisation requires knowing the changes, and all musicians need to understand what is happening on the musical landscape. This book will help you hear, understand and apply jazz theory so that you can solo as a complete musician. Each lesson offers a core musical concept related to harmony, melody and rhythm, integrating skills such as conducting and analysis, and reinforcing them with practical exercises. The accompanying audio tracks demonstrate techniques and let you practice improvising with piano accompaniment.

Endorsements

  • “Mili Bermejo's Jazz Vocal Improvisation is the most comprehensive vocal book I have ever seen on improvisation. Her years of research and her wisdom and artistry leave no stones unturned. I would recommend this book to instrumentalists as well, to develop their ears and breadth of expression.” – Jerry Bergonzi, Jazz Saxophonist, Composer, Author, Educator
  • “I have been a huge fan of Mili as an artist for many years now, and have admired her impeccable skills as a teacher for just as long. Seeing Mili perform in duo with Dan Greenspan is one of the great wonders of the world. They make voice and bass seem like an orchestra, harmonically rich and complete, and emotionally compelling. How lucky for us that Mili has written a book on improvisation from her own assured and gracious vantage point. Her approach is accessible, organic, personal, and best of all, inspiring! She takes the fear factor out and provides tools to make improvisation a truly creative and joyful experience.” – Peter Eldridge, Jazz Singer, Pianist, Composer (New York Voices)
  • “Creating awareness is at the core of this beautiful material that was very much needed in the vocal jazz field. Here is a book with clever, effectively organized information for all vocalists to develop a practical framework that covers the foundation to find confidence, strength, and ultimately freedom as a vocal improviser.

    Mili's music speaks to the heart, overflowing with humanity, joy, and compassion, and this book does the same. Mili traces a clear path, guiding us step by step along the way. She draws on her own experience, which I must say reflects all vocalists' experience, as we walk this fascinating journey of jazz singing.” – Magos Herrera, GRAMMY-nominated Jazz Singer
  • “How lucky for all of us that Mili Bermejo has decided to put her decades of experience and skill as both performer and teacher into this book. What a gift! Thank you, Mili.” – Tierney Sutton, Multi-GRAMMY Nominated Jazz Singer
