Written for a wide variety of musicians, 15 Easy Jazz, Blues & Funk Etudes
will appeal to both aspiring players and to more experienced musicians. For
the younger player, particular care is given to range, rhythmic figures and
overall playability. The more accomplished musician will appreciate the high
level of musicality, the lyrical compositions and the opportunities to
improvise. Either way, the format is simple: Bob Mintzer plays and
demonstrates each etude with a stellar rhythm section on the included
recording. You learn each etude slowly. When ready, you play the etude with
the audio accompaniment.
