Outstanding Jazz Keyboard/Organ Solos by Andrew Gordon is designed to show how to play solos or improvise over common chord progressions used in the Jazz idiom. There are 12 examples, each one being at least 32 measures in length and consists of different jazz styles including:
  • Jazz-Blues
  • Uptempo
  • Mid Tempo & Slow Tempo-Jazz
  • Jazz-Ballad
  • Jazz-Funk
  • Modal-Jazz
  • Latin-Jazz
  • Acid-Jazz
Not only are the solos notated, but also the chord voicings and bass lines notated giving you the ability to study how each of the various parts work in a Jazz setting. Learn how the great keyboardists/organists such as: Jimmy Smith, Joey DeFrancesco, Herbie Hancock, Chester Thompson play, by utilizing chord progressions from popular jazz songs including: Misty, Girl from Ipenema, This Masquerade, Europa etc. as well as 12 bar Blues progressions.
This is great source material to learning new improvisational ideas as well as learning chord voicings and rhythmic patterns that would take you many hours of study, listening and transcribing the parts from albums.
The CD that comes with the book has the examples recorded in three versions. The first version has the solo recorded with the rhythm backing tracks at the normal tempo, the second version has the backing tracks without the solo recorded so that you can practice soloing along with the backing tracks. This will be like playing along with your own jazz trio of piano, bass and drums. The third version at the end of the CD, has some of the examples, with the solo and rhythm backing tracks recorded at a slower tempo.
This is the pest in the Florida Keys writing to tell you that your "Outstanding Jazz Keyboard Solos" book and CD arrived here today, Monday. I listened to the first three cuts and I was impressed. If I can't learn to play a little jazz and spice up some of my favorite old standards from your materials, I never will be able to. I'm looking forward to a longer session this afternoon. I sure did like the slow blues and jazz blues. Then there were all those nice changes under "Misty." I'm hooked for sure and I think this is a good point of departure from Dick Grove (love that man dearly and miss him a lot). I look forward to working in your book and the other one that is on the way. Thanks for your help and I would like to compliment you on a nice piece of playing on the three tunes I listened to today. Best regards as always, js in the keys.
Customer Comments About This Book:
I've been looking for a book like this all along. I bought the book to help me with my piano soloing and found out that it can also help me with my guitar soloing. I love jazz blues and your examples are also helping me with a couple of other books I have on Jazz structures and Jazz accompaniment. By the way, I also have a couple of books authored by Carlos Campos.S.D. CA
