Lemoine Pellegrino Michel - Methode De Clarinette Du Swing Au BE-bop + CD

Summary of This Method

After the New Orleans aesthetic, the clarinet continued to evolve in jazz by passing through defining periods. This method offers a progressive path through the "Swing" era-marked by the great dance orchestras-up to the "Be-Bop" universe, where music frees itself from choreographic function to become a field of exploration and expression. In this historical context, the ear is also trained to the dialogue of timbres and musical ideas, exemplified by iconic artists such as Charlie Parker (saxophone) and Miles Davis (trumpet).

The content is structured around pieces written "in the style of," allowing the study of stylistic codes without losing the joy of playing. Each title highlights essential reflexes for the jazz clarinetist: sense of swing, accentuation, breath control, articulation (attacks, slurs), blues vocabulary, and phrase construction that "tell a story." This is a particularly useful resource to enrich your repertoire, refine your sound, and appropriate typical turns of phrase, in order to gain naturalness in interpretation and open the way to improvisation.
