The energy core of any jazz ensemble or combo is the rhythm section! It

comprehensive series includes introductions, explanations and instructions on
the essential elements of performance, such as style, performance tips, and
genres required for the solid understanding of what is required of a successful
member of this vital part of the jazz group. There is also a play-along piece
at the end of each chapter for reinforcement and further development of
appropriate skills. The seven genres covered in this excellent method for your
rhythm section are: swing, bossa nova, rock, shuffle, samba, funk, and ballad.
Additional topics include: volume — or knowing when not to play; how to keep
time as a rhythm section; and effective comping. Each student book includes
reproducible pages and a compact disc. The optional DVD is included with
the director's book and is also available separately. The CD offers examples of
jazz grooves, complex rhythms, and accompaniment tracks for the play-along
pieces. Demonstrations of the examples are effectively presented by a driving
rhythm section on the DVD. The complete kit includes: the Training Kit plus
Bass, Drums, Guitar, Piano and Supplemental Books with CDs. Each book is
