Bladmuziek, CD
Das Buch (+CD) behandelt alle Stile von 1920 bis heute, von den frühen Boogie-Pionieren über Swing, Gospel, Jump-Jive, die New-Orleans-, Chicago- und Kansas-Schulen bis zum anspruchsvolleren Jazz und dem Funky Blues aus der heutigen Szene.
Assuming a basic competence of around grade 3, Tim Richard examines the harmonic, rhythmic and melodic aspects of the blues. All styles are covered from the 1920s to the present, from the early boogie pioneers via swing, gospel, jump-jive, New Orleans, Chicago and Kansas City schools, to the more sophisticated jazz and funky blues of the current scene. Over 60 pieces, including many original compositions by the author, together with new arrangements of well-known standards such as "Ain't No Sunshine", "Blueberry Hill", "Blue Monk", "Got My Mojo Workin'", "Honky Tonk Train Blues", "How Long Blues", "Just A Closer Walk with Thee", "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie", "St. Louis Blues", etc.
Each chapter is graded within itself, providing some challening pieces towards the end. Improvising is encouraged at all stages, with assignements giving ideas and guidance. The accompanying CD contains all the pieces, including some play-along tracks, performed by Tim Richards.
