Iconic Lines: The History Of Jazz Vocabulary

$24.99

An Interactive Chronology of the Genes of Jazz Vocabulary

Humanity’s stories, traditions, customs, culture, and even our cellular makeup are passed down by genes—small bits of information that have withstood the test of time, which we wouldn’t exist without. From Miles Davis to Michael Brecker, Bill Evans to Brad Mehldau, so exists the art of jazz. In each musician’s story, a common string connects the great artists of today directly back through each prior decade, all the way to the 1930s and before. These “genes” have been bestowed through the generations—then molded, expanded upon, reshaped, newly expressed, and personalized by each legendary artist brave enough to carry them forth. Now, in Iconic Lines: An Interactive Chronology of the Genes of Jazz Vocabulary, those genes are being passed to you—so that you might be the next great artist to bear their importance.

Along with a complete video master-class that provides a close-up look at how world-renowned bassist Janek Gwizdala plays these lines, this book includes highly polished play-alongs in three tempos that will allow you to put all of these concepts into action immediately (link to access found on page 2 of the book). The book also comes complete with TAB and treble clef notation for each example.

Note: This is an eBook, NOT a physical product. No physical book will ship to you. Any address information required is for billing purposes only. This eBook purchase includes notation and TAB (as well as HD video instruction & play-alongs, which can be downloaded or streamed via link provided on page 2 of the book). The PDF file can be downloaded within 24 hours of purchase to your computer or a mobile device, if the device has a PDF reader application installed.
