How to ACTUALLY Use Books to Improve at Jazz

Books are epic. But some people have a book phobia. I get it, because yes, if all you did was read books in the practice room, then for sure you can't get better at improvisation with just that alone. But that doesn't mean to throw the books away! If you are smart, you can figure out where books can play a very helpful role in your development. 📖 25 Melodic Etudes on Jazz Standards (use code NG5 for $5 off): https://www.jazzlessonvideos.com/prod...
