Jazz´ld solos vol. 2

Foreword Congratulations! You should have several hours of fun playing ahead of you with Jazz’ld Jazz Solos. Use them to improve your instrument technique. Use them to become a better improviser. Use them to improve sight reading. Abuse them. Change them. Steal from them. Play them backwards. There are no restrictions; it is up to you to get the most out of them. These solos are written to help you become a better musician and jazz player. The solos are written over the chord progressions from famous jazz standards. Each solo is made up of several choruses, gradually getting more challenging. Play them on your own, with friends, or with the Jamie Aebersold play-along recording vol. 54: Maiden Voyage. Each written solo matches a track on the play-along album, and playing them with a “real” rhythm section will instantly let you hear the relationship between the melody and the chords. Are you a music student about to enter the world of jazz? Are you an advanced jazz student? A skilled amateur musician? A music educator looking for new material? Perhaps a classically trained musician wanting to visit the world of jazz? Or are you a professional jazz musician looking for new inspiration? The Jazz’ld solos are not for everyone, but I have tried to make them fit as many instruments and levels of playing as possible. I hope they are a good fit for you!

Jazz´ld solos vol. 2 PHRASING All solos have clear indications of phrasing. This is how an experienced jazz musician could choose to interpret the melodies. But the indicated phrasing is not the only solution, so feel free to make changes and play the solos how you think they should sound, and make them work on your instrument. The phrasing is intended to work for wind players, but most of it is just as useful for rhythm-section instruments. Piano, guitar and bass players tend to be very focused on when to start a note, but less concerned about when to end it. If nothing is indicated, I suggest that you play lines of eight notes legato, and single eight and quarter notes short. This phrase: should be phrased like this:

RANGE The solos are kept within a range of two to three octaves. If there are sections that are too high or too low, feel free to play them in another octave. If you want to challenge yourself further, try playing the solos (or selected parts of them) in another octave, building up either your low- or high-range skills.
