Jazz Conception is an exciting way for players at all levels to learn the language of jazz! Each book and CD set features 21 solo etudes based on chord changes to standards and blues. See and hear how a well-known soloist phrases, articulates, and plays along with or without the soloist on the CD. Play along with one of today's finest, swinging New York rhythm sections: Mike LeDonne on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums. Start out fairly easy, then get progressively more difficult. Use the etudes as a bridge to solos of the masters that are usually more complicated and involved. Learn melodies and lines that will give you a solid jazz vocabulary and musicality. Use the book and CD sets for private lessons, for self-study, or in any combination up to a full jazz ensemble, including flute and clarinet. If you are more advanced you may want to use the book to develop your sight reading abilities, for transcribing the etudes off the MP3 CD (then check against the book), or for just having fun playing along with a great jazz rhythm section. Use as an improvisation study, learning how to construct a swinging, logical solo---works especially well in combination with the Study Guide. Titles: Groove Blues * Amen * A Doll * Total Blues * Grease * Rose * Joe's Thing * Proxy * Father Song * Ind Line * Miles * Blue Minor * Autumn * Friends * Great Love * Two Plus Two * Lunar * Tunisia * Bird Blues * Somewhere * Passage.

With the latest addition to the Guitar Music Collection series, author and composer Thomas Fellow (including Fellow Guitar Book) offers the most comprehensive and sophisticated selection of works to date in his own modern, stylistically open sound language. Fingerfood XXL Vol. 2 includes several multi-track “suites” as well as longer concert pieces in the style of his üextremely successful first work Medusa. And so fingerstyle influences can be recognized as well as Mediterranean or Brazilian sounds, jazz or pop music - for the greatest joy of playing and intense listening pleasure. As a guitarist who has performed all over the world (European Guitar Quartet, Friend `n Fellow, Hands on Strings), Fellow concludes this issue with his solo arrangement of the 70s classic September by the band Earth, Wind and Fire, a celebrated highlight at many of his concerts. Fingerfood XXL Vol. 2 is aimed at performing guitarists, students and ambitious amateurs. The pieces are all complex, set at a higher level of difficulty (4-5) and offer an ideal addition to the modern guitar repertoire.
