This is more than a book on jamming, it is a philosophy, an attitude to life that would make learning anything a breeze and a joy. To paraphrase, as I can't remember the exact words Luke has used, "the more connections you develop with your instrument the more your mental library begins growing". Also "it's about exploring and experimenting". This is the true basis of creativity and what should be taught in schools, not just cramming endless bits of information that stays in the head and bypasses the heart and the senses. This book would make an excellent present to a youngster to instil the love of music into their hearts to soften up the grueling hours of practice they have to endure to perfect their art.
