Summary of This Book
Specifically created to meet the demands of "field" use, this Real Book gathers a large catalog of pieces (over 350 titles) covering both the language of jazz standards and styles derived from contemporary music. The goal is clear: to offer directly usable musical material, with rigorously controlled content on the essential elements of group playing and improvisation, notably the accuracy of melodic lines, harmonic progressions, and rhythms.
The selection stands out for its diversity, allowing you to move from a bebop theme to a blues, then to a pop or rock song, without changing books. You will find titles such as Ain't No Sunshine, Bluesette, Careless Whisper, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Freight Trane, Heartbreak Hotel, I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man, In the Mood, Make You Feel My Love, Satin Doll, Sweet Home Chicago, Teach Your Children, The Very Thought of You, and many others. An essential resource to enrich your repertoire, work on style culture, and gain ease with harmonic and rhythmic codes.
