Summary of This Book

This volume in the Jazz Play-Along series offers both an educational and musical approach to playing and improvising on a pop repertoire reimagined in a jazz spirit, featuring iconic songs by John Lennon and the Beatles. Each piece comes with a typical lead sheet (melody + chords), designed for comfortable reading and quick setup, whether you are a melodic instrumentalist, reading bass clef or in C.

The "play-along" concept allows you to practice as if with a real band: you start the accompaniment, follow the guide melody to incorporate phrasing and stylistic inflection, then move on to several choruses dedicated to improvisation. To refine your listening and timing, you can also remove certain layers (bass and piano) and thus train in more open conditions, or conversely focus on harmony while letting the rhythm section carry you. In performance situations, the full backing tracks without melody provide a clean and effective backing track.

Included titles: A Day In The Life; Imagine; Instant Karma; Jealous Guy; Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds; (Just Like) Starting Over; Strawberry Fields Forever; Watching The Wheels; Woman; You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.
