Violin Styles

Par ASCH GLENN / REINER DAVID. For more than a century, violinists have played jazz, swing, blues and similar improvisational styles. With its rich tone, considerable range, and bowed rhythms and phrasing, the violin offers a unique opportunity for a creative and personal statement as a musician. This book presents a broad sampling of the styles of major jazz violinists, from blues to bebop, from jug band to jazzgrass, from big-band swing to Texas swing. Tunes represent the styles of Stéphane Grappelli, Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith, Eddie South, Mark O'Connor, Benny Thomasson, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Darol Anger. Helpful jazz theory sections with exercises alternate with tunes that show how the theory works inpractice. This book has two objectives: first, to present a broad, roughly chronological sampling of major jazz violinists and the styles associated with them, and secondly, to introduce the basics of jazz theory as applied to the violin. Whether consciously or intuitively, through critical listening or by practicing jazz patterns and exercises, the more knowledge of jazz you acquire, the better you will be able to think about the content of your playing without being bound by technical and theoretical aspects. This anthology was written to help provide that foundation. Interspersed with pragmatic jazz theory lessons, you'll find 28 original tunes in the style of various jazz violin luminaries. The book ends with an extensive discography of recommended jazz recordings with a violin focus. Mandolinists as well as other instrumentalists will find a wealth of useful information in this outstanding collection. Delightful broadcast-quality recordings of the repertoire are available online. Includes access to online audio. Written for intermediate to advanced violinists. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Jazz / Recueil / Violon

The endlessly energetic duo of Oriol Saña and Lluís Gómez have created a charming and informative account of the musical phenomenon we call bluegrass. Originally a quirky supercharged folk music played by about ten people, bluegrass music, with its Mozart-like formality and ferocious rhythmic zest, now describes an extended international family of related string band styles. Master fiddler Oriol and bluegrass banjoist Lluís, both acclaimed educators, present both the wide view and crucial details about this music in a clear, personable manner. Bravo! Includes access to online audio. El dúo formado por Oriol Saña y Lluís Gómez, siempre tan activos, se ha puesto manos a la obra una vez más para producir esta brillante obra, amena a la vez que informativa, sobre el fenómeno musical que llamamos bluegrass. En sus inicios, era un estilo folk muy rebuscado y minoritario, pero esa formalidad digna de Mozart y ese ritmo frenético tan característico han conseguido que actualmente abarque una gran familia de estilos musicales en distintos países. El maestro violinista Oriol y el banjista de bluegrass Lluís, ambos reconocidos profesores, presentan una visión amplia y a la vez detallada sobre esta música, aportando tanto claridad como su punto de vista personal. ¡Bravo! Incluye acceso a audio en línea. / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / Violon
