Summary of This Method
Designed as an accessible bridge to the language of the blues, this method offers a structured path around ten solo studies. The goal is twofold: to consolidate the basics (progression, chords, cadence, feel) and to gradually establish improvisation reflexes. Each piece is accompanied by chord exercises, concrete suggestions for organizing practice, and indications to enrich your phrases (articulations, intentions, variations), to move from a "school-like" reading to a more lively and expressive playing.
The included CD enhances the experience by providing playbacks recorded by renowned musicians, creating a particularly motivating group atmosphere. The accompaniment features Ken Peplowski (clarinet), Mike LeDonne (piano, organ), Peter Washington (bass), and Joe Farnsworth (drums). Working with these playback versions helps better feel the pulse, refine timing, and develop a coherent sound in a realistic musical context, while keeping the freedom to repeat at your own pace.
The content covers essential fundamentals, from style initiation to theoretical landmarks and vocabulary. It notably includes: Introduction, Style and Performance, Tuning Concert A, Tuning Concert Bb, then the studies "Duke's Jam," "Papa Lou," "King BB," "Freeloader," "Minor Trane," "Mister T," "Bags," "Newkness," "Blue Funk," "Bird in Flight." The method is completed with Basic Blues Theory, Vocabulary Studies, Suggested Listening, and Musicians' Bios, linking technique, understanding, and listening culture.
