Aebersold: Maiden Voyage (Vol 54)

Description

Improvising Jazz can seem impossible – chords changing in every measure, all those scales and in all those keys! Where does one even begin? This Play Along package addresses these problems by keeping it simple with over thirty 2 to 5 minute practice tracks, each comprised of just one major or minor chord/scale for the duration so that you can relax and concentrate on making music – improvising with just one scale for the entire track!  You’ll never have to worry about getting lost or losing your place again. 

The tempos are perfect for the beginning improviser and the professional accompaniment on the CD (piano, bass, and drums) makes learning to improvise fun and rewarding.  Also included on the CD are demonstration tracks featuring Jamey playing simple practice patterns and showing you how to improvise with the CD.

Books includes basic improv theory, practice material, jazz licks, blues licks, and solo transcriptions.  Separate sections for Concert key, B-flat, E-flat, and Bass cleff instruments make Jamey Aebersold’s play alongs perfect for all musicians.

CD Includes:

• Long practice tracks (around 3 minutes each)
• Professional piano, bass, and drum accompaniment
• One major or minor chord for each track.  Play only one scale for the entire track and never lose your place!
• Tracks of Jamey playing practice patterns and soloing with the CD
• Several wrap-up tracks in major and minor keys
