The Essence of Bebop is by critically acclaimed New York saxophonist Jim Snidero and reveals the heart and soul of this groundbreaking jazz style and is the first real "manual" for mastering bebop. The 10 fun-to-play studies are inspired by Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and many more, offering a unique basis for in-depth study and analysis. Historical insights as well as recommended listening and reading make this edition an indispensable part of jazz education.
Each etude includes a study guide that covers jazz theory, but also goes well beyond the math, providing insight into how bebop masters mold solos into profound musical statements. Concepts of shape, timing, balance and pacing provide the framework in which ideas unfold and flow. Additional examples, practice suggestions, historical perspectives, listening and reading suggestions (60-plus pages total) result in an instant classic that's perfect for individual or classroom study.
The downloadable play-along recording has versions with and without the soloist. Featured soloists are top jazz recording artists; Jim Snidero (alto sax), Grant Stewart (tenor sax), Brian Lynch (trumpet), Michael Dease (trombone), Anders Bostrom (flute), and Ken Peplowski (clarinet). Rhythm section is Mike LeDonne (piano), Peter Washington (bass), and Joe Farnsworth (drums).
