Yes there are actually 1001 'licks' in this book and they are all numbered and loosley categorized in the index. Most of these musical phrases are 4 measures in length. Since they are grouped together by similarity, you get a slightly different idea with every 4 measure passage. The harmony chords are given. The phrases that I've learned are very melodic and centered around the aeolian mode and harmonic minor scales which are often used in tandem in jazz. It would be a lot of effort to memorize everyone of these phrases and the author does not recommend it. He says to pick out your favorites and make them your own. To say Jack went the extra mile on this book would be an understatement. I especially love the licks inder Cmaj7#11 because they're challenging and translate so well.
