Summary of This Book
Miles Davis has left an indelible mark on jazz history through boundless creativity and the exceptional musicians who accompanied him. This updated Real Book gathers faithful, easy-to-read lead sheets designed for playing, centered around 70 iconic compositions associated with his musical universe. It contains the essentials for quick playing: the melodic line and the chord chart, in a format especially appreciated by instrumentalists and rhythm section players.
The collection spans several periods and colors of jazz, making it an excellent foundation for building a solid repertoire, whether you are in an improvisation workshop, a combo, or practicing independently. Titles that have become study and jam standards such as "So What", "All Blues", "Blue in Green", and "Milestones" sit alongside more electric and exploratory pieces like "Bitches Brew", "Spanish Key", and "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down".
With this selection, you can work on phrasing and forms, strengthen your sight-reading, develop your comping reflexes, and enrich your improvisational vocabulary. It is also a relevant resource for analyzing harmonic turns, tonal centers, and the characteristic atmospheres of Miles's different eras, to better understand what makes his writing and language so powerful.
