Jazz Basics
Fundamentals of Improvisation
for the Young Musician
Peter Blair.
Now there's a well-sequenced approach for your young musicians to begin
improvising! If your students have tried the Jamey Aebersold books, but
found themselves in too deep, this is the answer. Jazz Basics is designed
to work with the full ensemble and is a preliminary step to the Aebersold
series. The score (not the parts) includes two CDs full of aural exercises and
performance examples. It has an in-depth approach to the rhythm section,
including comprehensive books for Guitar, Bass, Piano and Drums. There
are seven units of learning and six complete charts that are playable with just
a handful of players: 1 trumpet; 1 alto sax, 1 tenor sax, and 1 trombone. The
CD (in the score only) can double as rhythm section if needed. Alternative
instrumentation for clarinet, flute and horn is also provided.
