There is nothing theoretically complex or new in the text, it is the organization of the material as well as many musical examples and transcriptions (Bach, Scriabin, Coltrane, Shorter, Hancock, Beirach, Liebman plus others) which should serve to inspire musicians to expand their usual diatonic vocabulary. The reader will be introduced to more than one way of conceiving chromatic lines and harmonies. Specifically, the book serves as a guide for organizing chromaticism into a coherent musical statement meant to satisfy both the intellectual and emotional needs of artistic creation. Through the concepts and examples offered, the improviser should be able to use this material alongside already familiar tonal ideas. This book should be seen as a method to help the artist to develop his or her own way when trying to improvise chromatically.
