Here are several practice PDFs.  These are little exercises, etudes, and lines that I wrote for myself over the years. 

I’ll be updating this post as I convert my old practice journals to Finale and PDF.

  2. Neal, thanks for the comment. Although I never had a chance to study with Tristano, I studied a bit with Lee Konitz. I’ve have transcribed Tristano, Marsh, and Konitz and have listened a lot to Popkin, Brown, Tabnik, Halperin, Crothers, Mosca an others.
