Project Objective This volume of the jazz improvisational lines focuses upon the linear constructions based upon the intervallic value of the perfect fourth, and sporadically, the augmented fourth. The non-triadic formula generates ambiguous tonal emphasis, producing comparatively invigorating sonority. The unremitting sequence of the perfect fourths and its inverted version, the perfect fifths is used infrequently to avoid the predictable linear construction. It is recommended that users start the exercises in a comfortable speed and gradually build up the facility to satisfy the technical demands in faster tempos.
