cruel mistress. After spending years learning and adding all of the genre’s
theories and techniques to your arsenal, you’re still left with the
challenge of putting it all together into a cohesive statement when it’s

Combustion offers up a fresh and insightful approach for comping and
improvising innovative solos.
