Alfred Alfred Jazz Play-Along Series, Vol. II: Swingin' Now (Book and CD)
Go beyond the typical play-along with Alfred’s Jazz Play-Along Series, an innovative approach to teaching improvisation. Each volume contains parts for C, B-flat, E-flat, and bass clef instruments and includes a sample written-out jazz solo for you to listen to, study, and play.
The included CD offers a demo track, play-along track, and split track functionality, featuring a professional rhythm section and horn player to learn the melodies, styles, and sample solos. In addition, the play-along tracks allow a soloist or group to learn and perform with the rhythm section only. Split tracks offer piano, guitar, and bass players the opportunity to perform with the track by dialing in/out left or right stereo channels.
Each tune has specific improvisation tips and suggestions and the sample solo is an invaluable asset that makes learning how to improvise easier. Play-alongs have never been more complete, so collect the entire series!
Volume 2 features favorite jazz standards including "Stella by Starlight," “On Green Dolphin Street," "Have You Met Miss Jones?" "Bye Bye Blackbird," "What Is This Thing Called Love?" “Days of Wine and Roses," and more!
