Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing a Jazz Language, is the sixth volume of Jerry Bergonzi's series, Inside Improvisation. Learning a language requires listening on many levels to the meanings, the sounds, the intentions, and the inflections or nuances of the language. The first chapters of this volume on learning the language of jazz focus on the prerequisites of chord scales, approach notes to chord tones and target notes, scale motives and sequences, and lines. Part two qualifies improvisational techniques into three areas; melodic, harmonic and sonic (rhythmic devices are the focus of Vol. IV, Melodic Rhythms) and it is designed as a menu of soloing devices from which you can select your personal course of study. Over 100 specific devices are discussed and conceptualized so as to give the improviser more depth of expression and a greater well from which to draw ideas. Among the numerous topics presented are: guide tones, voice leading, chord substitutions, three tonic system for composition, tritonics, hexatonics, tonal expansions, whole tone playing, augmented symmetric scales, double diminished scales, limited range and large range playing, shapes, blues melodies, accents, comping as a soloing device, common tones, articulations, laying back on the... The book includes free downloadable audio tracks of twelve standard chord progressions, each played in two different tempos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark in jazz studies, Thinking in Jazz reveals as never before how musicians, both individually and collectively, learn to improvise. Chronicling leading musicians from their first encounters with jazz to the development of a unique improvisatory voice, Paul Berliner documents the lifetime of preparation that lies behind the skilled improviser's every idea. The product of more than fifteen years of immersion in the jazz world, Thinking in Jazz combines participant observation with detailed musicological analysis, the author's experience as a jazz trumpeter, interpretations of published material by scholars and performers, and, above all, original data from interviews with more than fifty professional musicians: bassists George Duvivier and Rufus Reid; drummers Max Roach, Ronald Shannon Jackson, and Akira Tana; guitarist Emily Remler; pianists Tommy Flanagan and Barry Harris; saxophonists Lou Donaldson, Lee Konitz, and James Moody; trombonist Curtis Fuller; trumpeters Doc Cheatham, Art Farmer, Wynton Marsalis, and Red Rodney; vocalists Carmen Lundy and Vea Williams; and others. Together, the interviews provide insight into the production of jazz by great artists like Betty Carter, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, and Charlie Parker. Thinking in Jazz overflows with musical examples from the 1920s to the present, including original transcriptions (keyed to commercial recordings) of collective improvisations by Miles Davis's and John Coltrane's groups. These transcriptions provide additional insight into the structure and creativity of jazz improvisation and represent a remarkable resource for jazz musicians as well as students and educators. Berliner explores the alternative ways—aural, visual, kinetic, verbal, emotional, theoretical, associative—in which these performers conceptualize their music and describes the delicate interplay of soloist and ensemble in collective improvisation. Berliner's skillful integration of data concerning musical development, the rigorous practice and thought artists devote to jazz outside of performance, and the complexities of composing in the moment leads to a new understanding of jazz improvisation as a language, an aesthetic, and a tradition. This unprecedented journey to the heart of the jazz tradition will fascinate and enlighten musicians, musicologists, and jazz fans alike.

Book excerpt: For years people have asked me to put what I showed them into a book. This book is my contribution to music education. This concept opens up many possibilities of phrasing that develop and flow easily. This concept was developed while living, playing and tutoring in New York City. Bebop licks, lines and phrases are still used in most of today's different forms of music. In this book you'll find licks and phrases you can use for Soul, Funk, Hip Hop Jazz, Cool Jazz, Smooth Jazz and easy Bebop tunes.This book uses words to help give jazz notation easy to remember sound qualities. Just as the famous "Cry me a river" jazz lick is used to teach a specific bebop lick, this book has many useful jazz licks.Basic Example,Notes = C D E GNumbers = 1 2 3 5Easy to remember words,Words = "Play some be - bop"Numbers = 1 2 3 5The above example uses the simple first 4 notes of the pentatonic scale to show the notes to words approach. This book uses many of the typical scales used in music. These scales become less simple and more musical in edited and inverted form. Most of the music we hear and play use the same scales and notes. It's usually the syncopation of the rhythm and arrangement of the notes that makes the different styles of music. This book has edited down the scales to the licks, lines and phrases used from BEBOP to FUNK, HIP HOP, NEW JACK SWING, COOL and SMOOTH JAZZ. Most of today's music still has a huge bebop influence, so first think simple bebop when reading the notes and words in this book. Once the sounds are in your ear, they'll come out naturally in other styles of music. Just follow the rhythm of the style of music you're playing. Listen to a drummer and follow his accents and you can usually play a variation of what you like to play. Written music is a good tool to show musicians the notes. Words are used to express the feeling of the music. Rhythm provides the groove and pulse of the music. Take time and try all of the examples in this book. Say the words and play the notes. Find the ones that flow freely from your instrument. This is not a technical struggle. Have fun.This book is my contribution to the "Wonderful world of jazz".
