Voice Motion - Melodic Movement Within 3-Part Harmony seems like an excellent book. I'll most likely be purchasing a copy even though I've only scratched the surface of The Almanacs and the 3 volumes of Harmonic Mechanisms. I feel like there's more than a lifetime of work for any and all of these books. If only there were more hours in a day!!! Or perhaps if the average lifetime was tripled I might be able to catch up a little! This new volume seems very well laid out, with concise notation and diagrams of the ideas and concepts. Thanks for a great interview. I'm intrigued by everything that was covered. I particularly liked the idea of taking a chord/harmony through symmetrical patterns. Guess it could be seen/heard as symmetrical modulation...? A nice break from functional harmony. Thanks again... and cheers from Canada.
Hello Glenn! Thank you so much for your comment. Voice Motion is a much better book than the Van Eps books which is only natural since the books were written so far apart.
You are right though we need another lifetime but just spending 5 minutes daily with these books will radically change your playing over time.
I'm itching to get back and get stuck into this book but I'm in a new jazz duo with few gigs booked over the summer so it's learning new tunes and older tunes in new keys for me for the moment.
Yes, the symmetry idea is a good one. This was also covered on the Ben Monder Zoom call.
I'll post a link to the MGH blog review of Voice Motion and will pin it at the top of the comments.
Wishing you a wonderful day.

Hi Mick. Thanks for your reply, I really do appreciate it. It does make sense that Voice Motion is preferable to the Van Eps books. The Harmonic Mechanism books are pretty dated at this point. It's great advice to spend a little time each day with these books. One needs to get the concepts in the ears and under the fingers.
I'll have to check the Zoom call with Ben Monder if it's still available. I've always been inspired with his interviews as well as his music. I'll also check out the MGH blog review of Voice Motion... although I already know I'll be ordering a copy! Thanks again for all you do for the guitar community! It's great to hear that you're getting gigs with a new duo. Enjoy your gigs this summer... it's important to keep live music going; especially after the lack of them during the pandemic. Take good care. Wishing you all the best.
