Go beyond the typical play-along with Alfred's Jazz Play-Along series,
an innovative approach to teaching improvisation. Each volume contains
parts for C, B-flat, E-flat, and bass clef instruments and includes a
sample written-out jazz solo for you to listen to, study, and play.
The included CD offers a demo track, play-along track, and split track
functionality, and features a professional rhythm section and horn
player to learn the melodies, styles, and sample solos. In addition, the
play-along tracks allow a soloist or group to learn and perform with the
rhythm section only. Split tracks offer piano, guitar, and bass players
the opportunity to perform with the track by dialing in/out left or
right stereo channels.
Each tune has specific improvisation tips and suggestions and the sample
solo is an invaluable asset that makes learning how to improvise easier.
Play-alongs have never been more complete, so collect the entire series!
