Pam Wedgwood: Jazzin' About: Clarinet: Instrumental Album

Cool syncopation funky riffs and smooth stylish tunes - from dynamic to nostalgic Pam Wedgwood's series has it all. Really Easy Jazzin' About is a vibrant collection of original pieces in a range of contemporary styles tailor-made for the absolute beginner. So take a break from the classics and get into the groove as you cruise from blues to rock to jazz.

Following on from the very successful After Hours piano volumes Pam Wedgwood has now penned eight atmospheric pieces for the intermediate clarinettist. They are ideal for teacher or pupil and provide a perfect follow-on for those that have used and enjoyed Pam’s highly acclaimed Jazzin’ About series. The book contains piano accompaniments but for extra sophistication a CD of backing tracks is also included. Each piece within the collection has two different backing tracks: the first (full performance) includes the backing track along with the instrumental melody; the second (backing only) presents the backing track alone. The full performance track isprovided to help the player to the learn the melody and its interaction with the accompaniment; the melody is played on a marimba to avoid dominating the acoustic ‘live’ instrument for those players who choose to play along with this version of the backing.
