Summary of This Book
This volume in the Harmonica Play-Along series is designed to get you playing essential standards quickly, with a simple and effective method: you read the notation, listen to how the harmonica should sound, then play along with dedicated backing tracks. This "play-along" approach is perfect for working on timing, phrasing, and swing feel, while keeping the joy of playing at the heart of the practice.
The arrangements for chromatic harmonica are by Will Galison, known for his personal style and musicality. The repertoire features major themes from jazz and popular song, perfect for enriching your melodic vocabulary and developing your sound: "Autumn Leaves," "Georgia on My Mind," "Lullaby of Birdland," "Meditation (Meditacao)," "My Funny Valentine," "Satin Doll," "Some Day My Prince Will Come," and "What a Wonderful World."
In addition to the melody, the lyrics are included in the book to facilitate following along and musical intention, whether you want to sing or simply breathe the line like a true theme. On the audio side, the CD is playable on any player and also offers a version allowing PC and Mac users to slow down or speed up the recording without changing the key, a valuable asset for progressing at your own pace.
"To my ear, [Will Galison is] the most original and individual of the new generation of Harmonica players." - Toots Thielemans.
