How to Play in a Rock or Jazz Band
(Beginning Fundamentals for the Rhythm
Section and Soloists)—Jeffrey Vigness.
How to Play in a Rock or Jazz Band is designed to teach
each member of the rhythm section, as well as soloists,
the basic fundamentals necessary to play with each
other as a single musical unit. This not only includes
scales; chords; harmonic function (music theory);
common song structures, forms, and styles; as well as
the role and function of each member of the band; but
explanations as to how and why each of these elements
work, giving the student a thorough understanding of
what they are doing. Coupled with the accompanying
play-along recordings, which are individualized for each
instrument and are available for download from the
publisher's website, this collection is as close to playing
in real situations as students can get, short of rounding
up the rest of the members of the band and playing this
material live. Self-sufficiency for the student is the goal.
The successful completion of How to Play in a Rock or
Jazz Band will give the student the ability to comfortably
play from a fake book with a live band, which will
improve their performance in any middle or high school
jazz band program.

Walk Tall (The Music and Life of Julian
"Cannonball" Adderley)—Cary Ginell.
Cannonball Adderly introduced his 1967 recording of
Walk Tall, by saying, "There are times when things don't
lay the way they're supposed to lay. But regardless,
you're supposed to hold your head up high and walk
tall." This sums up the life of Julian "Cannonball"
Adderley, a man who used a gargantuan technique
on the alto saxophone, pride in heritage, devotion
to educating young people, and insatiable musical
curiosity to bridge gaps between jazz and popular
music in the 1960s and '70s. His career began in 1955
with a Cinderella-like cameo in a New York nightclub,
resulting in the jazz world's looking to him as "the new
Bird," the successor to the late Charlie Parker. But
Adderley refused to be typecast. His work with Miles
Davis on the landmark Kind of Blue album helped
further his reputation as a unique stylist, but Adderley's
greatest fame came with his own quintet's breakthrough
engagement at San Francisco's Jazz Workshop in
1959, which launched the popularization of soul jazz in
the 1960s. With his loyal brother Nat at his side, along
with stellar sidemen, such as keyboardist Joe Zawinul,
Adderley used an engaging, erudite personality as only
Duke Ellington had done before him. All this and more
are captured in this engaging read by author Cary Ginell!
Quote: "Hipness is not a state of mind, it's a fact of life."
- Cannonball Adderley.
