"Permutation Station - 1235" is the station stop you won't want to miss.
It's the point from which you can embark on a short musical journey via 24 different routes.
Talk about variation!
For me, this particular concept of musical permutations was introduced initially via a book entitled "Inside Improvisation, Vol. 1 - Melodic Structures", by renowned tenor saxophonist and educator Jerry Bergonzi, which was published in 1994 by Advance Music.
This volume, as well as the other five belonging to the Bergonzi "Inside Improvisation" series, should be a part of the library of anyone who is sincerely interested in becoming a better improviser.
This month's Shortbook™, "Permutation Station - 1235", focuses on some of the concepts originally presented in "Melodic Structures" - specifically, the practical usage of the 24 permutations of Major scale steps 1, 2, 3 & 5 as an improvisational tool - while presenting it in the style of a Thesaurus or reference book.
