Building upon the rhythm-centered pedagogy introduced in the first book, the advanced method focuses on improvisation. Concepts introduced and reinforced in improvisation studies and advanced improvisation studies are applied in charts designed to be played by the full jazz ensemble. A "Studies And Suggested Solos" accompaniment CD is included with each part. The score includes an additional "Full Charts And Rhythm Studies" accompaniment CD. This CD is also available separately.

Directors will find the director score to be an invaluable resource of jazz pedagogy. Parts available for flute, clarinet, French horn, and tuba ensure that the study of improvisation is also accessible to students of non-traditional jazz instruments.
