For Lyell and Other Improvisers
In response to Lyell’s 2/12 question, and for everyone else with similar inquiries, I’m attaching a link to a PDF called All Ears: Aural Training, Improvisation, and the Creative Process, written by our own Fred Sturm. Our campers have found the exercises here most useful in improving their own improvisation, and we hope you will, too.

Hi Bob,
Thank you for posting “All Ears!” It’s exactly what I need for my daily practice regimen, and I’m anxious to try some of the techniques with my amateur big band. I like the creativity it promotes and the new approaches toward solving old problems.
I’ve also decided to attend the Tritone Jazz Fantasy Camp in Utah and think that several of my fellow big band members are going to join me. I look forward to meeting you there.
