Summary of This Book
Considered by many musicians and critics as one of the greatest jazz guitarists, Joe Pass leaves here a particularly dense work, designed for instrumentalists who wish to delve into the mechanics of his playing. This collection combines five publications into a single volume and alternates between a pedagogical approach (harmony, melody, phrasing) and work "on the real" through transcriptions taken from recordings.
You will find a selection of transcribed solos: Bay City Blues, Foxy Chick and a Cool Cat, Time In, Blues in G, Dante's Inferno, and Grete. The book also offers Joe Pass/Herb Ellis duets, perfect for refining listening, interaction, and sense of swing: Bonnie, Jazz Waltz, Some of These Days, G Blues, Hot Stuff, and Ballad.
All pieces are presented in standard notation only, with chord symbols indicated above the staves. The whole is aimed at an intermediate to advanced level: ideal for enriching your jazz vocabulary, strengthening your reading skills, and concretely analyzing phrase construction, arpeggio choices, harmonic colors, and rhythmic placement characteristic of Joe Pass.
