Experience Ultimate Expression. Par COKER JERRY. The jazz ballad provides our greatest opportunity for lyrical expression and represents the surest way to the musical heart. Traditionally, it has been the testing ground for a performer's worth, yet it is largely missing in our present musical culture and is seldom addressed in learning situations. Jerry Coker is recognized for his ability to create inspired ballad performances, and his many students of the past and present know that he also has the ability to share his unique understanding of the jazz ballad with others. 'The Jazz Ballad - Experience Ultimate Expression' is a comprehensive study, guiding the reader, step by step, through the necessary topics and activities that lead to heightened understanding and enhanced performance. Topics include criteria for tune selection, modification possibilities, rhythm section concepts for ballad playing, options for introductions and endings, appropriate ways to approach the melody and subsequent improvisation, and with consideration of spiritual and attitudinal preparation. The accompanying CD provides aural clarifications of the ideas presented in the text, as well as a play-along track that features a splendid rhythm section. / Méthode / Méthode / Tout Instrument

I have the pleasure of presenting the new Souza Lima playalong method series. This project is the result of extensive research and careful elaboration aiming at offering representative material on the most varied styles of Brazilian music to professional musicians, students, teachers and all those who take a general interest in this field of music. The focus of this series is on the language of instrumental music nowadays performed in Brazil, based on elements of modern improvisation. Each volume contains two CDs with seven pieces of music, which are presented in the following versions:1. Complete takes – in other words, the full versions of the pieces included in the book, which are performed by all the instruments playing simultaneously; 2. Without melody / solo part – so that the melodic instruments can play along with the recording, executing their own interpretations and practicing improvisations; 3. Without harmony – so that the harmonic instruments can practice the language of accompaniment, especially with regard to the rhythmic vocabulary of each style. 4. Without bass – so that the bassists can practice their traditional task of accompaniment while working on the rhythmic but also the harmonic aspects; 5. Without drums – so that the drummers can practice the rhythms characteristic of each piece of music but also create their own variations. Each book contains the scores in the form of lead sheets in four different versions: in C, Bb, Eb, and bass clef. Due to the widely defined concept of this method, it is important to point out that musicians playing transposing instruments might have to make adaptions when reading the scores. Wind instrumentalists are at liberty to carry out adjustments whenever these are called for in order to facilitate the musical execution. The Souza Lima playalong method series was not exclusively devised for musicians to learn and practise how to read scores and accompany the recordings. Try to be creative and explore each type of music in every way possible. Transcribing solos, rhythmic comping phrases, bass lines and drum grooves, for instance, can be an important tool in order to assimilate the elements of this language. The instrumentalists may place themselves in a new musical situation in addition / Jazz / Recueil / Instruments Mélodiques

Not to be confused with the same titled piece from the Nutcracker Suite, this tenor sax feature from Duke's later years has an open almost 'world music' groove that transitions to straight ahead swing. Contrasting traditional harmonic sections with vamp like textures, odd phrase lengths and his usual colorful orchestration, makes this one of Duke's great compositions. / Ensemble De Jazz

Erwin Schulhoff was a German-speaking composer who was born in Prague in 1894 and died in the Nazi concentration camp in Wülzburg (Bavaria) in 1942. In the 1920s he returned to his native Prague to teach at the local conservatory. His compositions, with their blend of traditional genres, jazz syncopations, dance rhythms and moderately expanded tonality, were fully attuned to the tenor of the times.This edition contains five of Schulhoff's piano cycles with a total of thirty-five jazz-inflected pieces ranging from the relatively easy 'Esquisses de jazz? (1927) to the fairly demanding 'Cinq études de jazz? (1926). This is the first Urtext edition of this music and draws on the original prints comparing them with the surviving handwritten sources. Errors have been corrected and distinctive traits of Schulhoff's notation retained.- First Urtext edition of these jazz-inspired works for piano- Foreword (Ger/Cz/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano
