Tricia Woods: Easy Soloing for Jazz Keyboard - Book and CD - Fun Lessons for Beginning Improviser's by Tricia Woods - One of the most exciting and interesting aspects of playing jazz is improvisation. In fact, you can't really play jazz without knowing how to improvise or take a solo, which can be intimidating to beginning musicians. Creating solos over "tricky" chord progressions while communicating from the heart can seem scary and mysterious. Easy Soloing for Jazz Keyboard shows you that improvisation is not hard at all. You'll learn basic tools for making great, authentic-sounding jazz solos, such as empellishing a tune's melody or chords. This book is for musicians who already have basic keyboard skills, but need a low-stress introduction to the art of jazz improvisation with practical guidelines to use in real life. Whether you are a beginning student of jazz or a more advanced player new to improvised music, you'll find what you need here. A CD demonstrating the examples in this book is included. - (2008 Alfred Pub.) .....$16.95 Alfred 30260-08+534
