Vol. 54 Maiden Voyage Guitar Voicings

Par RAINEY CHUCK. by Mike Diliddo. Presented here is written and recorded guitar accompaniment to the entire volume 54 CD. This long awaited book includes easy-to-read music, chord symbols, and guitar frames above each example for the non-reading guitarist. Also included is a CD of Mike playing the voicings with the 'Maiden Voyage' play-a-long. Special CD stereo separation allows you to eliminate the guitarist and sit in with just the bass and drums. These voicings are 'real world' authentic chord voicings, not simplified sterile examples. It's a great opportunity to not only learn great jazz voicings, but to see how these voicings can be used to navigate blues, rhythm, and great standards. Banddirectors will love this one because now ALL members of the rhythm section can practice their comping with this world famous play-a-long. / Méthode en anglais / Méthode / Guitare

Par RICKER RAMON. Contemporary straight-eighth 'Maiden Voyage' feel. This chart takes up where 'Suspended Animation' left off. Uses same two suspended chords and adds a bridge. There is space for anyone in the band to solo. To help the beginning improviser, the composer has included some brief 'Notes on the Improvised Sections'. In addition this chart is correlated with material found in Vol. 1 of the Ramon Ricker Improvisation Series. Advance Music is proud to present our new Groovin' Easy Series. We've taken 10 tunes from two popular Advance Music publications (Reading Key Jazz Rhythms and The Ramon Ricker Improvisation Series) and asked our writers to give us creative and musically challenging charts that are also playable by young bands. To the normal big band instrumentation of 5 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm section we've added optional parts for flute, clarinet, French horn, guitar and auxiliary percussion. In addition, each chart is written to sound full with a reduced instrumentation of only 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone and rhythm section. The brass ranges are reasonable with the lead trumpet never going above a written C and the rhythm section parts are carefully notated and thought out./ Répertoire / Big Band
