Summary of This Method
This book gathers faithful transcriptions of 30 instrumental solos played by Benny Goodman, a major figure of the swing era and an absolute reference for jazz clarinet. Designed for B-flat clarinet, this method immerses you in the aesthetics of big bands and small ensembles, featuring characteristic phrases, typical harmonic progressions, and a rhythmic bounce that influenced an entire generation of musicians.
The content is based on a selection of emblematic titles and chorus variations, allowing you to approach the same standard from different angles (for example, several versions of "After You've Gone," "Down South Camp Meetin'," "Honeysuckle Rose," or "The Sherik Of Araby"). This approach is ideal for understanding how a soloist constructs their discourse, develops motifs, and evolves their improvisation from one chorus to another while remaining coherent and musical.
By working on these scores, you will be able to refine your swing articulation, timing, accent management, and mastery of fast passages, while expanding your vocabulary (arpeggios, chromaticism, rhythmic cells) directly drawn from the great classics. An excellent resource for study, inspiration, and preparation of your own improvisations, whether you are a jazz clarinetist in training, a big band musician, or a standards enthusiast.
