 BOOK/CD $38.40
Beginning/intermediate level. This set contains much variety . . .
rock, modal, and swing tunes. Eight songs written by Herbie Hancock
that range from the funky “Watermelon Man” to the modal “Maiden
Voyage.” Beginning improvisors will find many of the songs on this
set a real treat with many containing only 3 or 4 chords at relaxed
tempos. Intermediate players will enjoy the variety of styles to
choose from and advanced players can get into the unusual changes and
faster tempos on other tunes. This, like Volumes 5, 17, and 54, is
another great “transitional” set to take you from learning your
scales and chords to actually improvising on real jazz standards.
The rhythm section is Kenny Barron, piano; Ron Carter, bass; Billy
Hart, on drums.
