Download or read book Trane for Trumpet written by Eddie Lewis and published by Tiger Music. This book was released on 2008 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Coltrane¿s jazz composition, Giant Steps, is regarded as one of the most difficult songs for improvisation. This is especially true for trumpet players because of the inherent limitations of their instrument. ¿Trane for Trumpet¿ is a highly structured approach to help trumpeters achieve this pinnacle goal of playing Giant Steps as a jazz soloist. Using a progressive system of 79 exercises and jazz etudes, ¿Trane for Trumpet¿ helps the trumpet player become more accustomed to the key center shifts in a way which is idiomatic to the trumpet. All other literature written to help students learn Giant Steps is written for the saxophone. ¿Trane for Trumpet¿ is specifically written for trumpet, by a trumpet player, and covers the full trumpet range while approaching the harmonies in a more trumpet-friendly style
Download or read book Chasin the Trane written by J.C. Thomas and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was always elusive, on and off the stand; like his music, he was constantly moving, incessantly changing. Just as Charlie Parker stood astride the jazz world of the late 40s and 50s, so did John Coltrane in the late 50s and 60s. Trane was a giant of the saxophone and a major composer. His music also influenced rock and classical musicians, such as Roger McGuinn and David Amram. Yet he was more than a musician; there was a mystical quality, a profound melancholy that emanated from this quiet, self-contained man and moved listeners, some of whom knew little of music but heard something beyond music’s boundaries from the sounds his saxophone created. Many even had their lives changed as a result. J. C. Thomas traces John Coltrane’s life and career from his North Carolina childhood through his apprenticeship under Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Miles Davis, culminating in the saxophonist’s classic quartet that played to steadily increasing audiences throughout America, England, and Japan. The author has drawn on the recollections of those who knew Coltrane best—boyhood friends, band members like Elvin Jones, spiritual mentors like Ravi Shankar, and the women who loved him. Chasin’ The Trane is the story of a man who struggled against drug addiction, studied African and Eastern music and philosophy, admired Einstein’s expanding universe and the shimmering sounds a harp makes, and left behind the enduring legacy of a master musician who was also a beautiful man.
Download or read book Twelve Tunes written by Eddie Lewis and published by Tiger Music. This book was released on 2008 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever tried to improvise? There is so much frustration in the beginning years of improvisation that many players assume they just can't do it. They assume jazz improvisation isn't their thing. Do you feel this way? Is improvising something you want to be good at, but it is just too difficult to get started? The tunes in "Twelve Tunes" were composed for musicians who already have an intermediate technical ability on their instrument, but are new to the world of jazz improvisation. Using this book, you can sound good improvising within minutes. Simply follow the directions on the first four pages of the book, which will explain why these twelve tunes are different from standard jazz compositions and why it is so easy to sound good when you play them. This is only the first step in your progress as a jazz improviser. Unfortunately, it is a step often passed over in most jazz improvisation methods. Other methods tend to have a sink or swim approach with the beginners - "either you have what it takes or you don't" - and this can be very discouraging. With "Twelve Tunes: for Linear Diatonic Improvisation", you have the opportunity to sound good now and get your foot in the proverbial jazz improvisation door.
Download or read book Daily Routines written by Eddie Lewis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-02-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trumpet players! Do you need to improve your range, endurance, flexibility or sound? Daily Routines is a proven approach which has helped thousands of trumpet players grow in strength without having to resort to annoying high note methods. Daily Routines is NOT a high note method. Yet, most of its users have greater range than people who call themselves "screamers". The difference is that Daily Routines does not work on range separately from other aspects of trumpet playing. Range is a by-product of strength, and strength comes from very specific daily practice habits. With the Daily Routines book, you can play higher with greater endurance AND produce a quality sound. The systematic design of the routines makes the progress automatic. There is no need to stress over physical mechanics. The book is designed so that playing the exercises in the correct order automatically leads to proper physical technique.
Download or read book Go With the Flow written by Eddie Lewis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-04-22 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go With the Flow for Trumpet by Eddie Lewis includes twenty-one original flow study etudes tailored to be used with the Daily Routines book. With three etudes for each of the seven levels of the Daily Routine book, the Go With the Flow book begins with simple quarter-note and half-note flow studies limited in range to tuning note C. It progresses to advanced flow study etudes which cover a full professional range. The etudes systematically cover all twelve keys and a variety of time signatures. While the Go With the Flow book was originally intended to be used as a supplement to the more popular Daily Routines, it is also used by some trumpet players as a more musical alternative to a physical trumpet warm-up. Flow studies are a trumpet tradition rooted in the teaching of cornetist Herbert L. Clarke who taught them as moving long tones. They feature mostly step wise motion and are primarily slurred. The purpose of practicing flow studies is to develop greater control of the air-stream.

Book Synopsis John Coltrane Plays "Coltrane Changes" (Songbook) by : John Coltrane
Download or read book John Coltrane Plays "Coltrane Changes" (Songbook) written by John Coltrane and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Artist Transcriptions). In the late 1950s, John Coltrane composed or arranged a series of tunes that used chord progressions based on a series of key center movements by thirds, rather than the usual fourths and fifths of standard progressions. This sound is so aurally identifiable and has received so much attention from jazz musicians that it has become known as "Coltrane's Changes." This book presents an exploration of his changes by studying 13 of his arrangements, each containing Coltrane's unique harmonic formula. It includes complete solo transcriptions with extensive performance notes for each. Titles include: Body and Soul * But Not for Me * Central Park West * Countdown * Fifth House * Giant Steps * Summertime * and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Fake Book). The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed without any copyrights or royalties paid to the master composers who created these musical canons. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even notice the difference...the covers look the same, the engravings look the same, the songlist is nearly identical, and the price remains fair even on a musician's salary! But every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced legally and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest music ever written! 400 songs, including: Air Mail Special * Birdland * Bye Bye Blackbird * Caravan * Doxy * Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words) * Georgia * Girl Talk * In Walked Bud * I Remember You * I Thought About You * The Jody Grind * Just the Way You Are * Killer Joe * Little Sunflower * Mercy, Mercy, Mercy * Moanin' * The Nearness of You * Now's the Time * Old Devil Moon * Phase Dance * St. Thomas * Speak Low * Stardust * Tangerine * Tenor Madness * Watch What Happens * Whisper Not * Willow Weep for Me * Yardbird Suite * and more.

Book Synopsis Saving Charlie Parker by : Mike Steinel
Download or read book Saving Charlie Parker written by Mike Steinel and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving Charlie Parker: A Novel By: Mike Steinel “Jean… You’re gonna think I’m crazy.” He stopped, thinking about what his next sentence would be, then turned his head back to the window and spoke more softly: “I met Charlie Parker. I was with Bird. Dizzy was there, too. We were in Toronto, in a bar. There was a black and white TV. A boxing match. My head was bleeding.” “Sounds like quite a dream,” Jean said calmly. “It wasn’t a dream,” he snapped. “I was there for real… I think. This was different than a dream, somehow different.” His voice trailed off. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the matchbook that said: The Silver Rail – 133 Victoria Street – Toronto, CA. He stared at it. “What’s that?” Jean asked. “Nothing,” he said as he shoved it into the pocket of his hoodie. Once at home, Jen began cleaning up the blood at the bottom of the staircase, and Michael gathered up the three books scattered on the floor. He sat on the bench in the foyer, opened one of the books, and turned to the picture in its middle. I t was a picture of Massey Hall. He took the matchbook from his pocket and stared at it. In the midst of a world-wide pandemic, retired music professor, Michael Newman, falls down the stairs in the historic home he and his wife Jean are restoring in McAlester, Oklahoma. He is transported back to 1953 and awakens in a bar in Toronto on the night of what is billed as “The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever.” There he meets his hero, Charlie Parker, the revolutionary saxophonist who is credited as one of the great pioneers of modern jazz. Parker’s artistic life was brilliant but cut short at the age of 34 by his addiction to drugs and alcohol. With the help of astrophysicists from Oklahoma and Switzerland, it is determined that the Professor’s home has an Einstein-Rosen Bridge (a time wormhole). Using drugs, hypnosis, and meditation he attempts to travel back to various important moments in Charlie Parker’s life. Driven by the desire to save his hero, Michael’s transtemporal travel has mixed results.
