Learn how to solo like the masters! The ultimate practice book for serious jazz guitarists! The Cellular Approach is a practical method for developing the ability to create convincing jazz solos in a wide variety of playing situations. It takes actual jazz lines recorded by master players and then slices them up into small “cells” that can be re-combined into longer lines to fit almost any harmonic situation.This enables the player to improvise his or her own lines that sound just as interesting and melodic as the masters without resorting to simply copying others. Fingerings and string choices are often given too making it particularly valuable toguitarists who want to actually master their instrument.There is a complete discussion of how to break out of diatonic-derived lines by using the Cellular Approach to create “side-slipping” and other intervallic lines — creating ultra-hip solo phrases in the style of modern masters such as Pat Metheny Michael Brecker and Herbie Hancock.Finally the cell concept gets transcended as twelve tone rows in the style of Mike Stern and others are explored as well as lines derived from “23rd chords” — for the adventurous that are interested in paving a way into the future.

The included DVD allows you to listen to all of the featured Bass lines played at normal speed thenat a reduced speed in order to learn the right gestures. The MP3 CD contains backing tracks for you to play along to at two different speeds: the first being normal (the speed to be achieved) while the second is reduced to help with study.

REVEILLE RETRAITE for solo trumpetA joint commission between Håkan Hardenberger and Danmarks RadioDedicated to Håkan HardenbergerProgramme note:Everybody knows or has at least heard of the time honoured military bugle calls: Reveille Retraite the awakening at sunrise the turning in at sunset. In a way it's the UR concept of the nature of the trumpet an instrument capable of glorious panache as well as sublime inward looking finesse. My piece is as indicated in the title a two fold composition in the form of two contrasting tone poems each mirroring a fragment of original text what one could call spiritual appetizers. At the end of chapter 8 of his high spiritedMemoirs Hector Berlioz laments the murder of a man he admired Prince Lichnowsky who was stabbed to death in Frankfurt in September 1848 by German peasants: 'Oh I must get out walk run shout under the open sky! ' Now there's a juicy bit of high strung romantic Sturm und Drang for you and the perfect motto for any awakening... Then night fall Retraite in which I've drawn upon the early melancholy poem ALONE by Edgar Allan Poe and taken out one single line as 'subtitle' for this very hushed and withdrawn movement: 'And all I lov’d I lov’d alone. ' I guess it won't hurt to quote the poem in its entirety:'From childhood's hour I have not beenAs others were I have not seenAs others saw I could not bringMy passions from a common spring.From the same source I have not takenMy sorrow; I could not awakenMy heart to joy at the same tone;And all1 lov’d I lov’d alone.THEN in my childhood in the dawnOf a most stormy life was drawnFrom ev’ry depth of good and illThe mystery which binds me still:From the torrent or the fountain From the red cliff of the mountain From the sun that 'round me roll`dIn its autumn tint of gold From the lightning in the skyAs it pass’d me flying by From the thunder and the storm And the cloud that took the form(When the rest of Beaven was blue)Of a demon in my view.'Edgar Allan PoeProgramme note by Poul Ruders

Folksongs from Japanese Immigrant Workers in Hawai'i-Voices From The Canefields is a collection of folk songs from Japanese immigrant workers in Hawai'i. Folk songs are short stories from the souls of common people. Some like Mexican corridos or Scottish ballads reworked in the Appalachias are stories of tragic or heroic episodes. Others like the African American blues reach from a difficult present back into slavery and forward into a troubled future. Japanese workers in Hawaii's plantations created their own versions in form more akin to their traditional tanka or haiku poetry. These holehole bushi describe the experiences of one particular group caught in the global movements of capital empire and labor during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In Voices From The Canefields author Franklin Odo situates over two hundred of these songs in translation in a hitherto largely unexplored historical context. Japanese laborers quickly comprised the majority of Hawaiian sugar plantation workers after their large-scale importation as contract workers in 1885. Their folk songs provide good examples of the intersection between local work/life and the global connection which the workers clearly perceived after arriving. While many are songs of lamentation others reflect a rapid adaptation to a new society in which other ethnic groups were arranged in untidy hierarchical order - the origins of a unique multicultural social order dominated by an oligarchy of white planters. Odo also recognizes the influence of the immigrants' rapidly modernizing homeland societies through his exploration of the 'cultural baggage' brought by immigrants and some of their dangerous notions of cultural superiority. Japanese immigrants were thus simultaneously the targets of intense racial and class vitriol even as they took comfort in the expanding Japanese empire. Engagingly written and drawing on a multitude of sources including family histories newspapers oral histories the expressed
