Re: Misleading Voice Leading

I was a little surprised to learn it was Phil DeGreg's book you are having
a
problem with, since I've worked with this book for several years and
consider it the clearest explanation and practice method for jazz voicings
I've seen yet.  It's true the book does not deal with melodies per se, but
if you have the floppy disk with the midi exercises where Phil solos on
vibes over the various voicings it should be clear how the voicings and
improvisation fit together.  Maybe if you address your questions to Phil
at
philip.degreg.cu.edu, he'll be able to help you out.  Good luck!
