Jazz Album - 12 Solos in the Styles of Jazz Greats (STEFANUK MISHA)

Soloing is an important part of your playing, but practicing on your own doesn't always get the creative juices flowing---there is nothing like the experience of sitting in with a full band. Though playing with a group isn't possible every time you want to jam, Sitting In: Jazz Piano brings the band to you anytime so you can practice comping patterns and soloing with the same energy as playing live. The book offers tips and techniques from veteran jazz educators Noah Baerman and Jen Allen to give life to your practice sessions and inspire you to add new sounds to your jazz vocabulary. Features: * High-quality studio play-along recordings performed by a live band * Progressions in the most important jazz styles including standards, modern jazz, bebop, Latin jazz, ballads, and more * Recordings include sample solos, and the progressions are repeated so you can jam freely * Soloing tips feature scales, modes, comping patterns, and other ideas to develop your jazz vocabulary * Each tune includes an overview and listening suggestions About the Authors Noah Baerman earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in jazz studies from Rutgers University, studying under Kenny Barron.

La cerise sur le gâteau, c'est le fait que nous avons transposé Glenn chaque note qui permet au joueur à la maison pour étudier et imiter ces solos improvisés.Les partitions contient également la ligne mélodique d'origine de ces normes classiques, ainsi que des accords et une partie sax alto, de sorte que les deux Bb et Eb saxos peut jouer cet album avec une égale jouissance.Les chansons de cet album sont parmi les plus grands standards de notre temps et les trois sections rythmiques disposent vraiment d'étoiles des joueurs légendaires de premier rang dans le jazz Les sections rythmiques parsemé de tels noms, comme Oscar Pettiford, Kenny Clarke, Barry Galbraith, Jimmy Rainey, Don Abney et Milt Hinton témoigne de la stature légendaire de vos joueurs qui l'accompagnent. Les chansons, toutes les normes, familiers à tous les joueurs. Il ne devient jamais aussi bon! / Saxophone Alto Ou Tenor
