Summary of This Book
54 Getz songs transcribed for all Bb instruments exactly from his recorded solos.
This collection offers a true immersion into Stan Getz's improvisational art, with transcriptions closely reflecting his recorded solos. Designed for Bb instruments, it allows you to study the language of a jazz master directly, without wasting time on adaptation or transposition.
You will find 54 pieces covering a wide range of styles and tempos: demanding bebop and hard bop tunes ("Airegin," "Confirmation," "Tune Up"), essential standards ("Autumn Leaves," "Stella By Starlight," "All The Things You Are"), as well as iconic bossa nova pieces ("Desafinado," "Garota De Ipanema," "Corcovado"). This diversity makes it an ideal resource for developing a comprehensive approach: managing harmonic progressions, choosing target notes, melodic motifs, phrasing breath, and rhythmic variations.
Both an educational resource and a source of inspiration, this book is intended for musicians who want to analyze real choruses, understand how a line is constructed over the changes, and then incorporate these ideas into their own improvisation. An excellent supplement for jazz lessons, personal practice, and jam session preparation.
