From blues to disco rock to ska and reggae this book contains it all. A piano/keyboard book is available for accompaniment during live performances but you can perform the pieces anywhere anytime with the play along CD.

This is a book with cool pieces for those who havenâ??t been playing very long but still intend to steal the show! The terrific musical accompaniments on the CD will really add to the enjoyment and there is room to make up your own solos in some of the pieces.

Playing on the Changes features 13 jazz etudes through the various chord qualities found in standards and jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas covered include major 7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords (Mixolydian, altered dominant, and half-whole diminished), minor ii (flat-5) chords, tritone substitutions, and a variety of progressions using all of the above. Bob Mintzer has written out etude solos that traverse the changes in a way that familiarizes you with the sound of each harmonic setting. Each etude is modeled after ideas---such as melodic and rhythmic patterns that create continuity---and singable melodies that he recommends using when improvising through the chord changes. Using the TNT 2 software, listen to and analyze the etudes, and by removing Mintzer's saxophone from the mix, you can then practice and play these harmonic exercises on your own with a stellar rhythm section. The amazing TNT 2 software allows you to slow down the tempo, too! / Instruments En Sib
