44 different (some are way different) original bebop/jazz blues: • Major Blues in all 12 keys This book will give you a workout unlike any you’ve ever seen! Each two-page spread contains one blues head in four transpositions: C treble, C bass, B-flat and E-flat. There are also chordal and melodic points of interest throughout. Data CD contains mp3s for you to make 8 play-along CDs (two tempos per blues, choice of melody present or no melody present—over 9½ hours of play-along tracks) plus a complete set of MIDI files to use with Band-In-A-Box or other sequencing programs (allows you to do these at any tempo and in any key). This workout is guaranteed to keep you learning and improving for a long, long time! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“My Ultimate Blues Workout book arrived and it looks great! You’ve put so much work in here...I’m overwhelmed at the amount of material, and I’m really looking forward to shedding all these tunes. Besides that, the amount of play-along tracks on the CD is unreal. I think you’ve put together an excellent resource here, Rich!” — Cameron Perret, Ontario, Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Congratulations on another great book! In an age when we have a multitude of people writing books, yours always have very practical and informative subject matter. I have really enjoyed your other books, too, and have recommended them to several bone players in master classes at the Aebersold camp. I told them to go to www.boptism.com to find out about The Reinhardt Routines, FocalPoint, and especially recommended your Jazz Improv Materials Handbook and your Melody Lingers On etude books as tools for developing their improvising and improving their jazz sight-reading.” — Rick Simerly, TN |
