Best Jazz LANGUAGE book you could buy... But crashes

This book is excellent and the licks in the book are derived from jazz giants and then perfected by Greg Fishman. This book is masterfully assembled for the best learning experience. One suggestion I would make is to learn these licks with just the music and not read the book. By memorizing these licks by ear, you gain a greater understanding of how each tone fits over a chord progression.this isn't a hip licks book... It is a Jazz language book and is greatly rewarding. That being said app needs update to fix occasional crash issue.
