by Antonio Ongarello. Learn and play 12 Jazz Standards. When I decided to introduce some of the best jazz Standards my desire was to propose them in a ?live? version i.e. how I?m used to play them. While keeping quite adherent to the originals me-lody and harmony have undergone a rearrangement process according to praxis and styles typical of great Jazz guitar Masters. I think that playing and studying these versions will be pleasant and bene-ficial for all guitarists who are in love with good music and their instrument. My hope is that these examples will also encourage you to create personal interpretations of these or others Themes.

Information needed to function within a jazz band. It is important to understand that while jazz is played on the same instruments as other types of music it has its own language. This book deals with specific jazz idioms: swing shuffle bebop and Latin. A basic working knowledge of the guitar through rock blues or folk music (including barre chords) will produce gratifying results. Knowledge of the note locations on all strings (especially the E andA strings) and a working understanding of the relationship of all the notes on the various strings will make the information in this book immediately accessible. The book also provides information on how to interpret a jazz chart.The clarity and insight of this method makes it a must have for any big band performer.

Par VERITE ALAIN. Pour savoir ce qu'est de vouloir approcher au plus près le swing du jazz ou le balanço de la musique populaire brésilienne avec, pour seul outil, la sémantique musicale, j'adresse mes compliments à Alain Vérité pour le remarquable travail qu'il vient de réaliser sur ces huit thèmes tout en syncopes, si joliment traités pour la guitare. J'ajoute que le niveau des pièces, abordable, est une chance pour ceux des apprentis guitaristes qui, comme leurs professeurs, auront à coeur de ne pas se cantonner au seul répertoire traditionnel. Pour autant, l'exigence requise ici sera la même que pour l'étude d'oeuvres dites classiques. Et donc les progrès également au rendez-vous. Roland Dyens Du swing (beaucoup), de vraies mélodies, des harmonies inspirées par la pratique assidue des 'standards', une diversité de tempos et d'ambiances, et au passage des suggestions pour traduire dans les 'gestes' certains des aspects propres à 'l'esprit' du Jazz : c'est ce qu'a voulu proposer l'auteur avec ces 'pièces jazz'... conçues tout exprès pour la guitare. Elles seront l'occasion, notamment pour les musiciens de formation classique, de jouer un style peu représenté de cette façon (guitare seule)... alors que le Jazz irrigue presque tous les courants musicaux nés aux 20e et 21e siècles. Bon swing ! A. Vérité / Niveau : 2ème Cycle / classique / Recueil / Guitare
