Jazz Play-Along Volume 123-JAZZ PLAY ALONG VOL 123 BACHARACH & DAVID ALL Bb Eb BC & C INST BK/CD

Here we have a typical minor blues in all 12 keys. Few chord progressions offer the freedom and variety of expression found in the minor blues progression. Great players have all approached this chord progression in a variety of ways; from attacking each chord vertically in its pure form to playing horizontally “across” the progression, usually with a blues or minor pentatonic scale, to taking all or part of the changes totally harmonically “out”. A perfect practice set for all musicians! Rob Schneiderman, piano; Akira Tana, drums; Rufus Reid, bass.

Includes 13 great tunes from the famous Gypsy Jazz era and a tribute song, all performed in an authentic style by a masterful guitar trio. Swinging and fun to play! Be sure to listen to the demonstration tracks under the audio samples tab, above. For all instruments.
