They include a twelve-tone blues, whole tone scale, half tone-whole tone (diminished scale), augmented scale, Alexander Tcherepnin's nine-tone scale, Flamenco Scale (Spanish Phrygian), and Klezmer, as well as blues in Dorian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Lydian b7, Melodic Minor, and Altered Scale (Super Locrian).

Each piece is fully analyzed, explaining the harmonic structure and compositional techniques used to create the melody and chord changes, including melodic sequences, permutation, pentatonics, transposition, motivic variation, Upper Structure Triads, and superimposed seventh chords. "Jeff Gardner, in addition to being a well-rounded jazzman, studied with Nadia Boulanger and has completely absorbed the musical traditions of Brazil, where he's lived for many years. His books of original compositions reflect his diverse background: they are sophisticated and exciting."-Tom McDermott, New Orleans Jazz Pianist "These 20 studies grew out of an idea I have had for some time, to fuse blues forms with modal music. I hope you will be inspired to write your own modal blues compositions, always expanding your language and conception, because The Blues is Forever!"

113,95 kr. This book contains 20 original piano pieces from intermediate to advanced in various styles of boogie and blues piano. These pieces are based on simple motifs, developed through one or two 12-bar choruses. This technique of motivic development is essential to improvising and composing in any style of music, and is especially useful in roots blues forms. By learning these pieces, the student will acquire the basic blues piano vocabulary and be prepared to play blues in different keys and feels. They are also excellent for strengthening the left hand. Most have few jazz chords, staying within a basic blues language limited to dominant seventh chords, with or without a ninth. These blues are mostly originals by Jeff, including the second line style "New Orleans Strut". Also included are two arrangements of traditional melodies: "Saint Louis Blues", by W. C. Handy, and "Saints Boogie", based on "When the Saints Come Marching In", with a left hand created by Jimmy Yancey, a prime source of inspiration for blues and rock pianists. Other styles include Otis Spann and Professor Longhair. Also included is a chart of basic blues scales to help more advanced and adventurous pianists in improvising on these pieces. Ce livre contient 20 pièces originales pour piano de niveau intermédiaire à avancé dans différents styles de piano blues. Ces pièces sont basées sur des motifs simples, développés à travers un ou deux chorus de 12 mesures.

En apprenant ces morceaux, l'étudiant acquerra le vocabulaire de base du piano blues et sera préparé à jouer du blues dans des tonalités et des sentiments différents. Ils sont également excellents pour renforcer la main gauche. La plupart ont peu d'accords jazz, restant dans un langage blues de base limité aux accords de septième dominante, avec ou sans neuvième. Ces blues sont pour la plupart des originaux de Jeff, y compris le style de "Second Line" (musique typique de Mardi Gras) - "New Orleans Strut". Il y a également deux arrangements de mélodies traditionnelles: "Saint Louis Blues", de W. C. Handy, et "Saints Boogie", basé sur "When the Saints Come Marching In", avec une main gauche créée par Jimmy Yancey, une source d'inspiration de premier ordre pour les pianistes de blues et de rock. Les autres styles comprennent Otis Spann et Professor Longhair. Un tableau de gammes blues de base est également inclus pour aider les pianistes plus avancés et aventureux à improviser sur ces morceaux.

C. Handy, e "Saints Boogie", baseado em "When the Saints Come Marching In", com uma mão esquerda criada por Jimmy Yancey, uma fonte primordial de inspiração para os pianistas de blues e rock.

Besides being one of the great pianists of our time, a brilliant composer, Jeff has released a series of books over the years that are important to the development of every pianist, non-pianist, and educator. His latest book, Jazz Lines, breaks down how to apply licks to address different harmonic progressions, and help the beginning or advanced improviser retain and expand their ideas. I highly recommend this book for all serious students and educators!" - Donald Brown "The engaging etudes in Jeff Gardner's new book, Jazz Lines, feature tasteful excursions through a select group of jazz standards that highlight advanced harmonic thinking in highly refined melodic lines. Players of all levels will find a treasure trove of sophisticated vocabulary that is both accessible and cutting edge" - Tony Dagradi (professor at Loyola University New Orleans, sax with Astral Project). "The etudes in Jazz Lines explore the most common progressions with melodic and harmonic content that can expand your vocabulary beyond the typical patterns, phrases, and voicings" - Michael Pellera (Director of Jazz Studies - NOCCA - New Orleans Center for Creative Arts)."A welcome addition for all who are interested in studying jazz performance and composition The examples are useful and most enjoyable to play. I fully anticipate adding Jazz Lines to material I use with all my students." Michael A.

163,95 kr. Pentakosmos, this wonderful compendium of original works written for piano, reveals not only the composer's capacity for creative intelligence, but also his profound command of the instrument and of musical language in its harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and structural aspects. Each piece offers pianists the opportunity to experience the composer's sonic universe, full of jazz ideas and influences from various styles and genres from many countries. This cosmos of ideas, which involve the pentatonic universe, defines, aside from the artistic contribution, an important didactic material that fills a gap in the piano repertoire. The choice of repertoire plays an important role in the formation of the student, who should be exposed to a variety of styles. In addition, the meaning and motivating value of a work can positively influence musical learning. Considering the limitation of the traditional piano repertoire, which is largely based on the European repertoire, I recommend the inclusion of this book in piano course programs, so that pianists can develop their musicality and psychomotricity, as well as motivate themselves through a modern repertoire that is artistically attractive to the ears. Pentakosmos, ce merveilleux recueil d'oeuvres originales écrites pour piano, révèle non seulement la capacité d'intelligence créatrice du compositeur, mais aussi sa profonde maîtrise de l'instrument et du langage musical dans ses aspects harmoniques, mélodiques, rythmiques et structurels. Chaque pièce offre aux pianistes l'occasion de découvrir l'univers sonore du compositeur, qui regorge d'idées de jazz et d'influences de différents styles et genres provenant de divers pays. Ce cosmos d'idées, qui implique l'univers pentatonique, définit, outre l'apport artistique, un important matériel didactique qui vient combler une lacune dans le répertoire pianistique. Compte tenu de la limitation du répertoire traditionnel pour piano, qui est largement basé sur le répertoire européen, je recommande l'inclusion de ce livre dans les programmes des cours de piano, afin que les pianistes puissent développer leur musicalité et leur psychomotricité, en plus d'être motivés par un répertoire actuel artistiquement attrayant pour les oreilles. Pentakosmos, este maravilloso compendio de obras originales escritas para piano, revela no sólo la capacidad de inteligencia creativa del compositor, sino también su profundo dominio del instrumento y del lenguaje musical en sus aspectos armónicos, melódicos, rítmicos y estructurales. Cada pieza ofrece a los pianistas la oportunidad de experimentar el universo sonoro del compositor, que está lleno de ideas de jazz e influencias de diferentes estilos y géneros de varios países. Este cosmos de ideas, que envuelve el universo pentatónico, define, además de la aportación artística, un importante material didáctico que viene a llenar un vacío en el repertorio pianístico. Teniendo en cuenta la limitación del repertorio tradicional para piano, que se basa en gran medida en el repertorio europeo, recomiendo la inclusión de este libro en los programas de los cursos de piano, para que los pianistas puedan desarrollar su musicalidad y psicomotricidad, además de motivarse a través de un repertorio actual y artísticamente atractivo para los oídos. Maria Di Cavalcanti - Professor of Piano - Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) The pieces and their corresponding didactic notes help in the construction of an interpretative language and are a welcome addition to the repertoire for solo piano. Having the opportunity to contribute to this interpretive approach has been a wonderful musical adventure. Alla Dadaian - Professor of Piano - Federal University of Bahia (UFBA)
