Jazz Sequences: Interval Patterns for Motivic Improvisation

Jazz Sequences: Interval Patterns for Motivic Improvisation (Treble Clef Version)
by Dan Cosley

Jazz Sequences is a practical and thoughtful guide for improvisers, composers, educators, and performers seeking to master melodic fluency through systematic work with interval patterns and motivic cycles. Rooted in a rich tradition spanning classical masters to jazz innovators, this book offers nearly 3,000 diatonic three- and four-note permutations alongside advanced concepts such as compound and fractal cycles.

Designed to develop both technical mastery and creative intuition, Jazz Sequences goes beyond theory or lick collections to provide a minimalist, flexible framework that awakens your ears, sharpens your instincts, and cultivates the spontaneous vocabulary essential for authentic musical storytelling. Use it as a daily practice companion, classroom resource, or compositional springboard-this book empowers you to move beyond habitual patterns and discover the true balance between structure and freedom at the heart of improvisation.
