100 Ultimate Jazz Riffs for "C", "Bb", and "Eb"instruments
such as tenor sax, alto sax, trombone, flute and clarinet, by Andrew
D. Gordon and Mark Vega consists of, as the title suggests, 100 Jazz
riffs based on common chord progressions used in jazz such as the II-V-I,
III-VI-II-V etc. in both major and minor keys. There are five separate sections:
Jazz Swing, Jazz Ballad, Jazz Funk, Jazz Waltz and Latin Jazz. Each musical
example has a single note improvised melody line with the chord progression At
the end of the book there is the chord progression for the popular jazz standard
"Blue Moon" showing you how to use various examples from the 100 riffs
to create an improvised solo over the chord progression. By demonstrating this
technique you can pick most jazz standards and create your own improvisational
ideas using the book. The CD is recorded with the saxophone playing the melody
line along with a rhythm section of piano bass and drums. All the examples are
recorded with the saxophone and the rhythm section, as well as the rhythm
section with out the saxophone and with the more difficult examples the rhythm
section is recorded at a slowed down tempo. An absolute must for musicians
learning and playing various jazz styles. There are 3different versions: a
