This is a set of studies for flute in jazz style. Each of the pieces is based loosely on the blues: that is, it has a twelve bar theme on a chord sequence which is a regular jazz blues or a modified version of it. To offer some novelty and challenge I have chosen to use a variety of musical elements, some at the limit of mainstream jazz language: such as whole tone scales and quartal arpeggios, with the aim of giving each study a peculiarity, hence the title of this collection: 'Odd Blues'. It is hoped that these studies may offer a source of stimuli to the jazz flute improviser and also serve as performance pieces. Each study presents the theme twice, with some slight reinterpretation on the repeat, two choruses of written out 'solo' and a reprise of the theme with a finale. Geoff Warren, 2016.

Met Master Swop is het ‘swoppen’ op niveau geblazen voor diegenen die meesterschap nastreven in verschillende swing- en popstijlen. Het is wederom een tegelijkertijd leerzaam en leuk boek vol afwisseling. Zoals alle SWOP-boeken:met een door een live-band ingespeelde cd en een afzonderlijk verkrijgbaar begeleidingsboek voor keyboard/piano, inclusief de akkoorden voor gitaar en basgitaar.

Die zehn abwechslungsreichen Stücke in Master Swop in verschiedenen Unterhaltungsmusik- Stilarten sind ebenso zum Üben wie auch zum Vortragen geeignet. Die Begleitungen sind von einer echten Band auf der beiliegenden CD eingespielt. Wer lieber mit einem Pianisten oder Keyboarder auftritt, kann die Begleitungen in einem separaten Buch erwerben.

L’unione delle parole Swing e Pop ha dato il nome a questo stile musicale dinamico e tonificante: lo Swop. Questa equazione funziona altrettanto bene nel jazz e nel blues, nel rock e nella musica pop. Per scoprire, migliorare e perfezionare questo nuovo genere musicale, la collezione Swop si articola in sette raccolte distinte. Da Very Easy Swop a Work Swop (per creare un vero gruppo), lasciatevi guidare dall’accompagnamento musicale affidato ad un gruppo di professionisti.

Intermediate Jazz Conception: Flute is another addition to the popular series of etude books created by Jim Snidero, featuring some of the finest jazz musicians in the world. This Book & CD set includes 15 etudes based on standards, modal tunes and blues, demonstrated by a soloist with the incredibly swinging rhythm section of Dave Hazeltine on piano, Peter Washington on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums. New to Intermediate Jazz Conception is an appendix dedicated to style and improvisation, including a scales syllabus, nomenclature, and over 95 lines and ideas extracted for the study of improvisation!

The recording features two separate versions of each etude; one with the soloist and rhythm section and one with the rhythm section only. Hear how the soloist performs the etudes, play with or without the soloist on the CD, and learn about both jazz style and improvisation from some of the best. Other series available by Jim Snidero include Easy Jazz Conception and Jazz Conception. English/German Edition.
