Title: Not the best way to train my ear.
Review: There are several enjoyable ways to train the ear: Listening to jazz tunes, transcribing those tunes, playing along with those songs and playing through fake books. There are several ways to train the ear that are not much fun: Playing intervals and chords yourself and listening to someone play intervals and chords. Isolating intervals and chords from real music makes for dull exercises. Maybe they're useful, but where's the enjoyment? I'd rather listen to the great jazz icons on my CD player while looking at the lead sheets in fake books.
