Summary of This Book
Designed as a true bebop "bible," this collection brings together over 200 classics from the repertoire, arranged for Eb instruments in a Real Book spirit: clear notation focused on essentials, straight to the point. You will find iconic themes and jam session staples, perfect for playing in a group, preparing an improvisation session, or consolidating your reference standards.
Each piece is presented in the form of chord changes and melody, allowing you to work on harmony, chord progressions, typical bebop cadences, and common forms (AABA, blues, rhythm changes...). The format is particularly suited for musicians who want to develop their reading skills, jazz vocabulary, and fluency in real playing situations: rehearsing a tune, analyzing the changes, then improvising with a reliable and immediately usable foundation.
In this collection, you will find key titles such as "Anthropology," "Au Privave," "Be-Bop," "Cherokee," "Confirmation," "Donna Lee," "Doxy," "Epistrophy," "52nd Street Theme," "Four," "Groovin' High," "Hot House," "In Walked Bud," "Lady Bird," "Moose the Mooche," "Oleo," "Salt Peanuts," "Solar," "Tin Tin Deo," and "Yardbird Suite," among many others. An essential resource for any Eb instrumentalist looking to build a solid, coherent, and ready-to-play bebop repertoire.
