Blues and rhythm changes are important milestones in jazz music. I personally know some research on playing the blues but not much on rhythm changes. This book by Lukas is a great study on this very important part of jazz. I warmly recommend it to everyone who wants to dive deeply into rhythm changes.”

This book works well as a kind of encyclopedia of rhythm changes, and that's a valuable thing for serious, committed mainstream jazz improvisers (certainly including myself ) to have as a kind of reference work. It's well organized, and so thorough that even though I've spent a few hundred hours myself on rhythm changes, I can still find pathways that I haven't yet explored.”
