“You have gone past our old friend Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns by Nicolas Slonimsky, which I've used extensively. Your Lexicon is a useful book of study for all musicians, no matter what their level or instrument. I find it to be the most up-to-date musical tool for teaching. Bravo!”
— Kirk Lightsey
“Everyone is looking for hip lines and vocabulary to practice. Mover's book will give you enough for a lifetime. Thanks, Bob.”
— Jerry Bergonzi
“Bob is one of my biggest influences. When he plays you feel his connection to the source. Within the lexicon of jazz education material, his Lexicon is most welcome! Its format and the way it is laid out invites creativity. It is much more than a dry book full of patterns. Looking forward to spending lots of time with this!”
— Rick Margitza

As a jazz educator, Bob has distilled his decades of experience into this comprehensive collection of hundreds of licks and patterns that are both accessible and challenging. The book is organized in a clear and logical way, making it easy to navigate and find inspiration for your playing. Bob's passion for jazz music and his deep understanding of the language shines through in every page of his Jazz Lexicon. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their jazz improvisation skills.”

“Back in my student days I had the great good fortune to study with Bob Mover. His practical wisdom as a teacher and his deeply personal voice on his instrument made a huge impression on me. Now, in writing The Bob Mover Jazz Lexicon, he has given others the opportunity to benefit from his insights into how to practice jazz. This book goes deep into how to construct lines over chord changes in ways that can benefit beginners or professional level players. There is a gold mine of information here. A must-have book for any serious student of jazz.”
— David Berkman
“I first met Bob Mover in 1967 when we were both fifteen-year-olds studying with Phil Woods. Since then, Bob has had an illustrious career playing, studying, and hanging with some of the greatest musicians in jazz history. This book is a result of his incredible experience. I'm thrilled to be endorsing this wonderful compilation of his ideas and look forward to applying them to my own continuing studies.”
