Volume costruito partendo da una selezione dei più popolari ed interessanti patterns blues per la mano sinistra del pianista. Il testo è stato pensato e modellato per il Corso di Pianoforte Complementare pop/jazz per pianisti, cantanti e altri strumentisti, ma è un valido supporto anche per chi si avvicina a questo stile per la prima volta. Per ogni brano, 10 blues originali, c’è una Variante: una sorta di preparazione al brano proposto, una semplificazione che rende il discente partecipe anche di come si possa far funzionare lo stesso materiale ma con delle facilitazioni. Sono inoltre presenti per ogni brano delle Esplorazioni Guidate. Questo primo approccioall’accompagnamento viene completato con il Comping Blues Piano Voicing. Un testo utile, duttile e piacevole da inserire nel panorama di studi dei conservatori e dei Licei Musicali o come alternativa ai percorsi didattici del pianista autodidatta.

Designed to introduce the young intermediate-level pianist to playing the blues, Jazzin the Blues presents fifteen original blues compositions in various keys, styles and grooves together with downloadable recordings of 40 of the 50 examples in the book. The audio tracks are presented both with and without the lead piano part, so the student can play along with a professional rhythm section which includes piano, vibraphone, alto flute, drums, and bass.Historical and performance notes are provided with each blues composition. The author enlisted the skills of jazz pianist Charlie Freeman in editing the book and providing fingering for both the treble and bass piano parts, making these pieces more accessible to novice players. If your knowledge of blues theory or terminology is lacking, this is the book for you. Author Vince Corozine thoroughly explores and demonstrates: blues and pentatonic scale theory, blue notes, grace notes, pedal-points, tremolos, trills, syncopation, anticipation, delayed beats, slash chords, boogie-woogie left-hand patterns, walking bass, stride piano style, straight eighths, swing eighths, passing tones, rolled chords, riffs, filler chords, substitutions, and comping styles. This book also includes essential blues chord theory as well as tips on tasteful chord voicing presented in the context of accompanying a soloist comping ; in addition, the chord progressions represented by the written notation are carefully annotated in every example in the book. The Appendix includes helpful tips on comping, practice, and jazz soloing, plus a list of noteworthy jazz pianists, a key to chord symbols, and a glossary of jazz terms used in the book.If you are not a competent blues pianist when you first pick up this book, you will be by the time you complete it. Includes access to online audio.
