United Statesi love the ideas in this book
United StatesI've found Triad Pairs to be very helpful in hearing & weaving around tonal center(s). They also help, for me at least, to fill in the gaps while waiting for inspirational licks to surface during improvisation. Blue Bossa was one of the first Jazz Tunes I learned, so it's helpful to have material that explores & builds on that harmonic foundation and allows me to take the ideas to other tunes.
GuadeloupeVery interesting
United KingdomA great way to learn and apply triad pairs to a jazz standard and equally as important to play more rhythmically no matter what instrument you play.
JapanI'm interested in this triad pair method. I'd like to see examples of using this approach in other songs(e.g. autumn leaves). and the backing track and drones are useful.
FranceHello, sorry for my English , I’m French I began to work with this material three days , I play the first pattern C- D- at the beginning it’s sound good but this type of patterns is a little systemic, after one hour I try improvise freely on Stella by starlight and magically appears new phrases, new ways in my playing !! I know and everybody must know that the liberty in improvisation is a result of working hard . I love your work and hope that you continue Best
Thailandlove it!!!! Step by step , very intuitive with good sounds for be familiar with the scales not just reading!!

United StatesThese triad pair exercises opened a new dimension of tonal possibilities.
IsraelSince I bought the Blue Bossa Triad Pairs I can't get my hands off the sax! Only writing this review is a good reason to do so... The triads are making their way into my dreams. I can play them for hours, and they ignite the creativity in a way nothing has done so ib the last years... This is dynamite!!! Thank you Nick so much, and what a timing...
SwedenOne minute to learn. A lifetime to master :-)
