O knihe

Are you a classical player that wants to apply your hard earned instrumental skills to jazz improvisation?
Or are you a jazz player looking to open up your scale/interval practice to new worlds of melodic invention?

Bach Shapes II is the sequel to Bach Shapes, the immensely successful scale and interval pattern book for all instruments.
In Bach Shapes II you'll find 140 pages (twice the size of Bach Shapes!)of all things Bach, a culmination of 5 years of work by NYC jazz saxophonist and Bach enthusiast Jon De Lucia that includes:

. 50 pages of diatonic sequences, now with analysis, articulation suggestions and scale variations (harmonic minor, harmonic major, etc)
. A chapter on minor and diminished shapes, bringing Bach's Toccata and Fugue into the Bebop Era with examples from Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley and more.
. 20 pages on the Circle of Fifths progression, applying Bach Shapes to chord progressions like "All The Things You Are" and "Autumn Leaves," including MIDI chordal accompaniment for the exercises and live band recordings for the etudes.
. A chapter on Paul Desmond, including etudes and a solo transcription.
. A chapter on arpeggiation, using Bach's methods to get through standard tunes.
. Bach Loops! Short looping patterns from Bach's music with a ton of practice ideas.
. Etudes! More lines on jazz standards to help internalize the material.

The ear is key, and Bach's melodies teach us how to voice lead through chords better than anything else, so what could be more applicable to us as jazz improvisers?

This book will teach you to:

. Learn to pre-hear intervals, which will help you learn to play what you are hearing faster than any other approach.
. Improve your pitch. Practice the diatonic shapes with any drone found on Youtube.
. Improve your technique.
. Increase your vocabulary of melodic shapes, usable in so many situations!
. NEW: Get detailed steps to actually applying the shapes to your improvising, along with jazz etudes to guide you.
