S129: Essential
Jazz Lines in the Style of John Coltrane B-flat Edition
by Corey Christiansen and Kim Bock. Mel Bay Publications, 2002,
SS, 55 pages + CD. This book focuses on the first period of Coltrane's
career, when he was with Miles Davis, and the jazz vocabulary he used.
First, to help the student better understand Coltrane's bebop style of
improvising, the authors discuss the use of guide tones, bebop scales,
three to flat nine, targeting, and other techniques. Then the text
presents numerous one-, two-, and three-measure jazz lines in
Coltrane's style grouped by the harmony over which they can be used.
The accompanying play-along CD provides the rhythm parts for each
section, including a track for each section that modulates through the
cycle of fourths, helping you master the phrases in all keys. By
combining various lines, musicians will be able to mix and match
numerous combinations of these lines to play over ii-V-I progressions,
turnarounds, and other harmonic situations.

Reading Key Jazz Rhythms Alto or Baritone Saxophone by
Fred Lipsius.
Advance Music, 1996, SS, 68 pages + CD. This is a collection of
24 easy to medium level jazz etudes, and 24 simplified guide tone
versions of the etudes. They are ideal for learning the basic language
of jazz, swing phrasing, and articulation. The guide tone etudes (guide
tones are the essential or defining notes for each given chord type)
are followed by a melodious version as the chord changes might actually
be performed (the rhythms are the same in both versions). On the
accompanying CD the soloist (Fred Lipsius)
demonstrates the 24
melodious etudes together with a professional rhythm section. You can
also improvise along with the play-along tracks using the chord
symbols. So if improvising is new to you and you find yourself getting
lost, you can always return to a guide tone and play rhythmically
around it. Any etude and its corresponding simplified guide tone
version can be played together as a duet (with or without the CD
accompaniment). |
