Edition for violin, includes access to online audio.
Learn to
improvise in the Gypsy Jazz style. Suitable even for violinists who have
never improvised before, this method covers specific key aspects of the
Gypsy jazz Violin style, as made famous by French jazz violinist
Stephane Grappelli, who played with Gypsy jazz Guitar player Django
Reinhardt. The techniques in this book are presented sequentially and
the underlying music theory is introduced on a »need to know« basis.
»Getting
Into Gypsy Jazz Violin« includes charts of classic swing tunes such as
»Avalon«, »The Sheik of Araby« and »After You've Gone« and includes
online audio featuring authentic accompaniment tracks and model Violin
performances. Because the Gypsy jazz Violin style maintains common
elements of traditional classical Violin techniques such as vibrato and
shifting, the book is a perfect vehicle for the classical violinist to
learn to improvise without having to change their general approach to
the instrument.
