L'arte dell'armonia e dell'improvvisazione: metodo di armonia jazz e improvvisazione per tutti gli strumenti (The art of harmony and improvisation: jazz harmony and improvisation method for all instruments)

The material presented in this book covers a number of harmonic situations in which any musician could find himself improvising. This volume contains a CD with 56 tracks of the transcribed musical examples, and will serve as a constant source of inspiration for the development of your personal way of playing. The book concludes with harmonic analysis and improvisation scales for 10 jazz standards tracks. Includes a "bonus track" entitled 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?' taken from the eponymous CD recorded in NYC by Garrison Fewell (guitar) with Laszlo Gardony (piano), Cecil McBee (bass) and Matt Wilson (drums). This piece is completed by the original score personally written by the author. The book can be adapted both to a self-study use and under the guidance of a teacher. Learn to apply the appropriate scales for each type of agreement; create more melodic phrases in your improvisations; use guide tones to move more safely on the gearbox.
