Praise for Shifting Designs

"Zubin Edalji has articulated in a very meaningful and useful way, a methodology for the jazz improvisor to add rhythmic variety and interest to their improvisations and improve the improvisor's awareness of their time-feel across varying meters.  All the exercises are very thoughtful and progress the student towards adding rhythmic diversity and interest to any improvisation!  A must for the dedicated jazz improvisor!" -- Chip McNeill, Grammy Award Winning Saxophonist and Educator
