Jazz Club, Bass (mit 2 CDs)

"Jazz Club" provides a playful introduction to jazz and aims to alleviate the common apprehension surrounding improvisation and jazz theory. Interested individuals can start by playing 10 groovy pieces from various styles along with the play-alongs, thereby becoming familiar with the sound of jazz. Solos, chords, and rhythms are written out, and while one can improvise or accompany freely, it is not mandatory. The pieces are organized into 5 chapters, each focused on a jazz-specific theme. For those looking to delve deeper into the subject, there are exercises along with play-alongs covering topics such as jazz phrasing, tempo and rhythm, improvisation, form, and effects. Thus, the editions progress from pieces to theory rather than the other way around.
