5.5x7.5 inches. Richard Smith.
From a guitarist's perspective, Smooth Jazz is more like instrumental rhythm and blues, funk and pop music! It is a vibrant playground of great grooves, sophisticated blues-based harmonies, and lush orchestration - in the tradition of James Brown, Tower of Power, Earth, Wind and Fire and Carlos Santana. It is where jazz, rock, pop, funk, randb, and Latin styles all come together on the guitar.This DVD will help you to master this style, extending your knowledge of jazz harmony, blues techniques, funk rhythm skills and a keen, lyrical sense of melody in a variety of tone and amp settings. Richard Smith is a session player and recording artist who lives in Los Angeles, California. He is also a Senior Professor and Chair of the Studio/Jazz Guitar department at the University of Southern California.
