Summary of This Book
This collection brings together 43 of the most famous jazz clarinet solos, carefully transcribed from artists' recorded versions. The goal is simple: to put authentic solos in your hands, with the inflections, articulations, and melodic turns typical of the jazz language, to enrich your improvisation, sense of swing, and instrumental vocabulary.
Designed for Bb instruments, this content is not only for clarinetists: anyone playing a Bb transposing instrument can benefit from exploring historic choruses and working on interpretation. The book features great names such as Alvin Batiste, Sidney Bechet, Barney Bigard, Eddie Daniels, Buddy DeFranco, Pete Fountain, Benny Goodman, Ken Peplowski, Artie Shaw, Phil Woods, among others, with key titles like "Blue Horizon," "Okey Doke," "Barney's Bounce," "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)," "Fascinating Rhythm," "Ja-Da," "Lazy River," "My Blue Heaven," "All the Things You Are," "Runnin' Wild," "Stealin' Apples," and "Tea for Two."
Whether you are looking for phrase ideas, swing licks, approaches to standards, or simply the joy of playing legendary solos, this collection is an excellent practice resource: sight-reading, rhythmic placement, breathing, articulation, and musical discourse construction all find practical application here, directly connected to the sound of the recordings.
