New from Kendor Music

How To Play Bass In a Big Band, by soloist Jeff Campbell, offers tips, suggestions, examples, and a play along CD to help put it all together. The repertoire covers many jazz styles from Basie to Latin and African-influenced music to ECM and contemporary jazz. Improvisation is at the heart of jazz, but knowing how to play stylistically correct in a large jazz ensemble is also a necessity. Playing Through the Blues Alto Sax Edition (Eb,) by alto soloist Fred Lipsius, is an intermediate-level reading book with accompanying CD (12 listening tracks and 12 playalong tracks) containing melodic, fun to play blues lines and riffs in various styles. In addition to reading, players can improvise over the playalong tracks using the chords for the tracks shown in the book. www.kendormusic.com
