The
Essence of Bebop is by
critically acclaimed New
York saxophonist Jim
Snidero and reveals the
heart and soul of this
groundbreaking jazz style
and is the first real
manual for mastering
bebop. The 10 fun-to-play
studies are inspired by
Miles Davis, Charlie
Parker, Dizzy Gillespie,
Sonny Rollins, John
Coltrane, and many more,
offering a unique basis
for in-depth study and
analysis. Historical
insights as well as
recommended listening and
reading make this edition
an indispensable part of
jazz education.
Each etude
includes a study guide
that covers jazz theory,
but also goes well beyond
the math, providing
insight into how bebop
masters mold solos into
profound musical
statements. Concepts of
shape, timing, balance
and pacing provide the
framework in which ideas
unfold and flow.
Additional examples,
practice suggestions,
historical perspectives,
listening and reading
suggestions (60-plus
pages total) result in an
instant classic that's
perfect for individual or
classroom study.
The downloadable
play-along recording has
versions with and without
the soloist, and features
Michael Dease (trombone),
Mike LeDonne (piano),
Peter Washington (bass),
and Joe Farnsworth
(drums).
But what
if you aren't a student
or a professional? The
Essence of Bebop still
has immense value to
those interested in bebop
and hard bop. By
encouraging readers to
understand the music's
intent, slow down their
listening, and focus on
the swinging, the series
can help a jazz newcomer
dig this cerebral, often
pulse-pounding music. -
