Summary of This Book
This publication from the Omnibook collection is aimed at jazz musicians who wish to study the great classics through exact transcriptions taken directly from recorded solos. Designed for Bb and Eb instrumentalists, this collection provides highly practical material for developing the ear, reading skills, and especially the stylistic vocabulary of the masters.You will find 53 iconic pieces and choruses from major artists such as Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, Jackie McLean, Gerry Mulligan, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, and many others. The goal is clear: to delve into the details of the musical discourse (arpeggio sequences, chromaticism, target notes, accents, breaths) and understand how these improvisers construct their ideas over harmony.
The repertoire covers a wide range of bebop standards and themes, perfect for structuring a practice routine: "All the Things You Are," "Anthropology," "Body and Soul," "Cherokee (Indian Love Song)," "Donna Lee," "A Foggy Day (In London Town)," "Footprints," "Giant Steps," "Take Five," "St. Thomas," "Mood Indigo," "Work Song," among others. Thanks to the spiral binding, the book stays open for comfortable reading, whether analyzing phrase by phrase or playing in context.
