You guessed right (in the other thread) and I worked quite a bit with this book and I like it a lot. He´s pretty anti intellectual (and I love that) and you have to accept that - at least for the time your studying the book I guess:-) Conrad Cork´s main issue with the lego bricks is remembering tunes, and there is a newer book that is a very good companion (I´ll check the authors name and get back to you). My view on the lego bricks is that they are very good tools for practicing improvisation also. If you know how to deal with most of the bricks, you can deal with most of the tunes also. I prefer names like ii-V-I and such to the names that Cork is using, but it is the same thing anyway. If you want to do this thread as a study group on Conrad Cork I´ll join in:-). Conrad Cork´s main issue with the lego bricks is remembering tunes, and there is a newer book that is a very good companion (I´ll check the authors name and get back to you).I'm guessing the book you are thinking about is 'Insights in Jazz' by John Elliott.

That author also has a number of podcasts you can listen to --->There is also a Google Group called Jazz Harmony Lego Bricks which discusses the method. Bob Keller's jazz page also has some good Lego resources. Last edited by jsepguitar; at 05:18 PM. Tech 2 Scan Tool Autozone here. Reason: added link.

Are you aware of this book: There was mention of both books over here: It appears that both of these books do the same basic thing. Which do you like better? At first blush I'd go for the Jerry Coker book based on the authors reputation and that he's using common musical lingo. Lego bricks, a clever marketing slogan, but I don't see any reason to learn new terms that aren't used by other musicians. If the term 'Bebop Turnaround' (which is used in Coker's book) is the term that has been around a long time why would I want to use some other term or concept to describe that progression? I don't have the Lego Bricks book, it's really expensive. Please correct me if I'm wrong with my assumptions.

Thanks for these -- the podcasts look useful for learning tunes away from the instrument, too. I also found this, which contains analyses of a lot of tunes done in the Cork style: fep -- yeah, these books are quite expensive. That's going to stop me picking up Elliott's book for now, but I think the link above and the podcasts give enough of an idea of how it works.

And I'd like to get a look at Coker's book, too. Maybe I'll try to source both through my local library. Honestly, from what I've seen so far I'm not sure this is revolutionary stuff. We all knew to attack a ii-V-I as a single entity, right?

But knowing more of these 'building blocks' of standard tunes and how they're typically connected would be useful, at least for me as someone who doesn't work with these types of songs too often. Sylfaen Georgian Font. Anyway, I'm up for giving Cork's book a read-through in a couple of weeks' time and seeing how it turns out. What do the Legos have to do with it?

Are you actually using Lego bricks or is it some sort of euphemism/concept? No, Lego has nothing to do with it. I normally just call it bricks or elements, but I guess other names would be just as good.
