Hi Bill,
I've just got the book that I ordered from you. This appears to give me, in one book, all the information that I have been piecing together from lots of others! Fantastic!
…I am currently studying jazz guitar (one morning a week at Richmond Adult college in London) under the guidance of Charles Alexander.
…Do you have any other books that I can buy? Thanks for a great book. I am amazed at the speed of delivery. Re: post, you posted 24th May, I received 28th May...that's incredible. Knocks US to UK post for six (two weeks at best for music books!) Harry (UK)

I have received my Concepts of Jazz book. My daughters have looked over it and commented they wish they had it last week, (we had year 11 and 12 assessment tasks due) however it does appear to be a very successful addition to our Jazz Library, Thank you again… Karen (AUST)

INSTRUMENTAL
GUITAR CD
BY BILL PALMER
‘Outlines’ is an instrumental rock guitar album that straddles the stylistic line between rock, ambient and jazz. A fusion of melodic rock with the harmonic content from jazz orientated music all based around Bill’s unique guitar voice. The title 'Outlines' comes from the multi-faceted approach that Bill has always had: it's both an "outline" of Bill's playing at this point and expresses his musical ideal to
step "outside the lines."
The album contains rich distorted textures, washes of chorus and delay, wah
infected slide, jazzy-esque single note lines and stark yet memorable melodies. It
ranges from melancholy and emotional tracks like "Falling Free" and "Urban Lullaby" to the hard hitting rock of "S.N.F" and "Trippin." Bill also incorporates his own take on "Coltrane changes" with the title track "Outlines" and the dreamy
sounding "New rays from a distant sun."
Mixed and mastered by virtuoso guitarist and heavyweight producer TJ Helmerich in California USA, Outlines is hardly just another "guitar" album but rather an
evolved musical statement from a creative, original and diverse artist.

"Bill Palmer's book Concepts of Jazz has been hailed as one of the best in its field."

"...just about the best we've seen in terms of demystifying the art of jazz and teaching the theory in easy-to-swallow mouthfuls..."
