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.

The very successful book Moments of Swing is now followed by Moments of Latin with ten songs in Brazilian and Caribbean styles, such as the bossa nova, samba, calypso and merengue. The pieces are based on chord schemes from the common Real Book repertoire. In addition to these new adventurous melodies, the original themes of the pieces can generally be played over the accompaniments on the CD. The solo parts have been made to sound like improvisations, but chord symbols have been added, so that you can also improvise yourself. On the CD - apart from the live demo and play-along recordings - you will find the parts of the combo in PDF format.
