MAGIC MOTIVES NEW!

A METHOD FOR DEVELOPING
JAZZ VOCABULARY by Dan Haerle
For all instruments. Motives also referred to as licks or cliches
are the building blocks of a good jazz vocabulary. This book shows how
motives may be developed using five note major, minor, and diminished
scales and how to apply chromatic embellishment to those scales. The
magic appears when you discover that any motives created from
1590
these scales may be superimposed over a variety of chords with equally
$ good results. Includes detailed explanation and pages of motives in
a variety of harmonic situations, including standard chord changes.
BOOK/CD Includes a CD of practice tracks (from popular Aebersold Play-a-longs)
PRODUCT CODE - MAGIC and demo tracks. Expand your creative universe!
