Summary of This Method
This method is designed as a true "transcription + play-along" workshop centered around Chet Baker. You will find 8 transcriptions of improvised solos, offered in two key versions to suit Bb and C instruments. The dual objective is to accurately reproduce Chet's playing (articulation, rhythmic placement, breathing, dynamics) and then incorporate his ideas into your own improvisation.
The CD accompanies you at every step. Depending on the tracks, you can either play Chet Baker's solos with his original accompaniment or use the backing tracks to improvise and develop your jazz vocabulary. To inspire you, the CD contains 3 complete takes, ideal for comparing intentions, memorizing melodic phrases, and refining your sense of timing.
Some tracks offer a more intimate accompaniment, perfect for working on nuance, tone, and line. Others take the form of sessions with Larry Coryell and Williams, providing a more "group" context and a different energy, useful for learning to place your phrases within a denser rhythmic environment. A valuable resource for progressing in improvisation, enriching your vocabulary, and gaining style, whether you are studying the transcriptions or seeking a musical and motivating play-along.
