Here is a book of tunes from the Elizabethan era?the great period of English song?set in tablature for the clawhammer banjo. At first glance it is true the songs of Shakespeare?s day and the mountain banjo seem to be worldsapart. But the musical traditions are in fact related as Elizabethan songs are the old world cousins of mountain tunes. As a result Elizabethan tunes are a natural way to extend the mountain banjo repertoire for intermediateand advanced players. Their pedigree their modal feel the lilting rhythms and the ease with which they can be adapted to the banjo argue the case. At the same time they open the possibility for new sounds?in particular newrhythms?for the old instrument pushing the banjo beyond unnatural limitations and giving it a new voice. Each section of the book is organized around a traditional mountain tuning with a mountain song serving as a model of thattuning illuminating the relationship between the two musical worlds. ?The Bard?s Banjo? is the first banjo instruction book devoted to the repertoire of Elizabethan song.

The non-jazz improvisation series is a concept that germinated in Dick Weissman's mind while he was attending music school. He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune Cripple Creek and wanted the trombone totake a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazzmusicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds. This book approaches the five-string banjo as a musical instrument freed from the prison of specific musical genres. Old-timemusic clawhammer bluegrass and many eclectic adaptations of the banjo are utilized to demonstrate a variety of musical styles. A number of the selections are in different tunings. All examples are written out in traditional andtablature notation.
