Jan Zawada - Trumpet player - Music educator “I’ve known Darren for some considerable time. His knowledge of composition and jazz combined with this new book of his has allowed me to find the right combination of ear training and technical workout. In parts it as difficult as the Clarke studies but in a free jazz style, the additional backing tracks provided gave me a push forwards in my creativity. You couldn’t ask for better, a superb and highly recommended publication for the aspiring jazz player” Dave Wilson LRSM - Music educator ‘This book is aimed at intermediate players, the exercises start out simply and progress to more difficult etudes.
