Das Grundkonzept des Buches ist die Musikdarstellung. Sie werden also nicht genervt mit seitenlangen sprachlichen Erklärungen, Anhäufungen von Akkordsymbolen und Skalen. Sprachliche Erklärungen werden auf das Notwendigste reduziert, Akkordsymbole erscheinen---mit wenigen Ausnahmen---nur in Verbindung mit ausnotierten Akkorden, Akkordfolgen oder Songs. Die Skalenthematik ist im Rahmen der notwendigen Theoriedarstellung auf wenige Seiten beschränkt. Dafür liefert Ihnen das Buch 235 zum Teil sehr ausführliche Notenbeispiele. 17 ausgearbeitete Songkompositionen sind als Hörbeispiele dem Buch beigelegt. Notentext und Musik können auf diese Weise zum besseren Verständnis verglichen werden. Erfahren Sie, wie einfach und unkompliziert ein Basiswissen über Intervalle, Akkorde und deren Symbolschrift zu erwerben ist. Lernen Sie ohne mühsames Theoriestudium eine einfache Satztechnik kennen, die Sie dazu befähigt, Akkordsymbole in gut klingende Akkorde umzuwandeln. Mit ein wenig Übung sind Sie in der Lage, das gängige Songrepertoire stilistisch angemessen spielen zu können. Erleben Sie, dass selbst die allgemein als trocken angesehene harmonische Theorie, ausgehend von den Akkordfunktionen bis hin zur Skalentheorie, durch hervorragende Strukturierung und klare Darstellung zum spannenden Lernstoff werden kann. Nutzen Sie das übersichtlich in Tabellen geordnete Akkordmaterial der so genannten Left-Hand-Voicings mit 56 Akkordformen, das von Pianisten wie Red Garland, Horace Silver, Bill Evans, Ahmad Jamal entwickelt wurde. Staunen Sie über die raffinierten Klangwirkungen der Quart- und Clusterstrukturen, so wie sie in vielen Partituren, z.B. in denen von Gil Evans, That Jones, Bob Brookmeyer zur Anwendung kommen. Entdecken Sie die Geheimnisse der modalen Klanggestaltung, die von Musikern wie Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Gil Evans, Chick Corea ausgearbeitet wurde. Erfahren Sie, wie verblüffend einfach die Grundtechniken dieser modernen Klangkonzepte zu erlernen sind. Übe.

Recorded by Miles Davis on his iconic album Miles Ahead (Columbia) and arranged by the great Gil Evans, this moody ballad featuring trumpet throughout is not a technical showpiece, but rather requires expressive sophistication from everyone for best results.

Recor ded by the University of North Texas Lab Band, this medium advanced swing tune brings to mind the legendary collaborations of Gil Evans and Miles Davis. Written to portray the vibrant arts district of the same name in Pittsburgh, the challenges here involve compositional rather than technical elements since the texture is largely contrapuntal and requires a linear approach by all players. Flute doubles appear in the soprano and alto sax parts, all trumpets double on flugelhorn, and there are five parts for each brass section. Solos are given to tenor and trumpet.

This theoretical book is meant to improve contemporary jazz styles techniques for all musician players of modern jazz. We will divide this book into scale exercises, arpeggio exercises, jazz line phrases as well as contemporary chord progressions. Exercises consist of diatonic and chromatic exercises; and, line phrases, consist of jazz solos by great musicians such as Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Freddy Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Farrel, Dave Liebman, Bob Berg, Michael and Randy Brecker, Jerry Bergonzi, George Garzone, Tom Harrel, Chris Potter, Brad Mehldau, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Garrett, Branford Marsalis, Walt Weiskopf, Rich Perry, Seamus Blake, Alex Sipiagin and many other well known musicians these days. The majority of these exercises should be transposed to all twelve (12) tones, so we can achieve perfect coordination. Major chords, Minor chords and Dominant chords will be extended to their highest level, in scales, arpeggios and chromatic form. There will not be key signature centres, so we will work all exercises in accidental way. These exercises were made as an extension of my first book 'Improvise Now'. There are as well many improvisational lines transcribed from some of the previously mentioned musicians.

In the jazz tradition the Tuba was the bass in the rhythm section up until the mid-twenties. It was then the upright bass replaced the Tuba in many ensembles as the jazz music moved north and continued to develop. After this period the Tuba's roll, as bass in the rhythm section, was at a standstill and did not develop through Swing and Bebop. It wasn't until Cool Jazz of the 1950's when the Tuba was used by Miles Davis and Gil Evans in 'Birth of the Cool' as an ensemble horn. The Tuba, like swimming, is something you can't do any longer than you can hold your breath. In order to maintain a steady beat while playing in the rhythm section I have developed a system of breathing called Pant Breathing. Using this method, the player can maintain a steady beat within the rhythm section, without losing time while taking deep breaths.

The five pieces in this book are designed to be fun to play for both the pianist and the soloist, and to be equally enjoyable for the listener. The music is based on the 'cool' style of jazz a la Miles Davis and Bill Evans, but the pieces are original and not improvised. There are optional parts for bass guitar and drums, should an ensemble performance be required for GCSE or AS performances, or just add some colour for a concert item. Enjoy!
