The Power of Two—Doug Beach & George Shutack.
Duets are a great way to learn the many skills necessary to become a successful
musician. In jazz, duets are especially effective when performed or practiced
with a rhythm section. These duets include a variety of styles, tempos and
harmonic progressions and can all be performed with the published rhythm
section parts or downloadable mp3 tracks. The parts are fully interchangeable
and can be played with any combination of two horns and rhythm section.
Practice options include: a single player can play either duet part while the mp3
plays the other part; two players can play both parts along with the recorded
or live rhythm section; and a single player can work on improvisation with the
mp3 tracks or live rhythm section. Additionally, a full online performance track
is available for listening purposes. The Power of Two is an exciting way to teach
jazz to developing jazz musicians!
