News: Many of you 'guests' reading this notice that your application for membership was answered with 'something' you didn't think was important enough to read, and a week or so later, you got a 'rejection letter.' The Approval I sent (immediately) in response to your application was labeled 'ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT within seven days or your account will be deleted' Then a week or so later you recall receiving a note from the system informing you that your account has, in fact been deleted, after which, some have written back immediately to cuss me out and demonstrate their ignorance.

It's amazing how 'Your account has been deleted' generates an immediate response, a week after 'ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT within seven days or your account will be deleted' was ignored. FWIW: Last time I figured it out, maybe one out of a hundred ever read the 'agreement' / AKA rules and regs) the few of you that have, know exactly what I'm talking about. To be fair, I'm sure some don't respond when they see that I actually expect them to say 'Hello' or whatever, which us fine with me as well, cuz as the old guy who likes to protect the members, and sees anonymous, nameless, faceless 'members' as security risks and therefore, not worth having around anyway. I like Conrad's book as it takes a completely different approach to the rest of the jazz educational materials - in particular it's different to (but could be complementary to) what is called the 'chord/scale approach' that is quite popular and you'll see in the Aebersold materials.
I just got a book from jazzwise.com, Conrad Cork's Harmony with Lego Bricks. To think this has been around since 1985 and I didn't know about it! It goes on from where Hearin' The Changes and the Aeb volume about learning songs by ear leave off. For one thing, on the playalong (a free download) all the.
Conrad takes a two-pronged approach to learning jazz and says: 1. You don't need a lot of theory to learn jazz (and classical theory doesn't work all that well for it). It's an aural tradition and the most efficient way is to go directly to the records. He supplies references in real songs to most of the musical examples in the book.
You can find the CDs with the music on it if you ask around amongst the Lego guys - there are 13 CDs of jazz material, so that would easily make up for the cost of the book. A problem facing jazz musicians is having to learn a lot of tunes and remember the chord changes without charts. Wouldn't it be nice if there common formulae for all those tunes?
So he splits songs into 'lego blocks' (cadences etc), and the joins between them. As the blocks are common to all jazz standards (tonal standards), all you need to remember are the joins between them. Confusing - I know! That's my explanation - it makes sense if you read the book, or you have been trying to learn a lot of tunes and wished you didn't keep forgetting the chord changes to tunes you haven't looked at recently. You also get a playalong with the book, going through showing the joins in the book.
Personally, I have found it more useful to learn tunes than use this, but other may find differently. Conrad has retired recently, and I think that Ludo Beckers and another guy are trying to get the next edition of the book published. The author was extremely helpful with people who bought the book. I hope that helps. There are a few other harp players that have gotten into this book. Glad you found something useful in my links section.
I've learned a lot here too. If I only had a budget of 50 bucks for the next year of music, I'd buy Band in a Box. Most jazz standards are available for free on the web in BIAB format - I should put in links to them on my site, I'll have to look them up again. Harmony with Lego Bricks would definitely be in there in my recommended books to purchase. It's unconventional, but it solves a real need for tune memorisation, has good playalongs and the reference CDs (not included with book) are great source material for learning jazz - or even learning about jazz - I mean you could go through the book and those CDs even without playing.
Next up would probably be Aebersold's 'ii V I' playalong - sure, you can program BIAB to do that, but the book comes along with other stuff too, such as Parker-like bebop lines. BTW, Lego Bricks doesn't have that type of thing - like 'play this line and watch the chord tones resolve etc'. If you wanted that, you could try this little-known book: which has all the information you're ever going to need on playing jazz on a a single note instrument, if you can have the discipline and free time to work through the somewhat dry style ('now play that in 12 keys '!)
