Things to consider
Start with How To Improvise or Ready, Aim, Improvise! Book 1 if you're new to improvisation; Crook scaffolds concepts logically across both series. Check the transposition label carefully: Creative Comping volumes include multiple instruments per book, while some titles are instrument-specific. Audio files enhance every book, so verify you have reliable internet access or prefer CD format before ordering.
