This DVD recording of John Abercrombie and Andy LaVerne is the most recent in a musical and personal relationship that has spanned some 25 years! In the past, John and Andy usually played some standard material - but for this project only original songs by the two of them were recorded. In this way, the performance of the duo is more personal than ever. The emphasis here is the interaction and blend of the instruments, as opposed to just the individual solos. In the duo, things become more exposed and the responsibility of each player becomes greater. It's a challenging and also extremely rewarding situation! Songs include: "Good Measure, Any Given Time, Just a Waltz, Comfort Zone, Jasmine, Handy Number, Crystal Night, Avion, Forty Three, After Ours, On The Bright Side, Kaddish".

David Becker - Getting Your Improvising Into Shape - Book and CD
This wonderful project focuses on the use of chord shapes (mainly triads) in building a single line solo. It also opens up some of the mystery of the fretboard by showing exactly how the fretboard relates to diatonic harmony without using single note scales. Not only will new lines appear more easily, but new and usable chord voicings will also appear. Guitarists will see how these are related to the lines being played and will be able to move away from position playing and open up the neck - removing any black holes. There is also a look at phrasing and how rhythmic understanding is important to improving harmonic and melodic development.

Mark Boling - Creative Comping Concepts for Jazz Guitar - Book and CD
Pianists are the main sources of inspiration for new developments in jazz guitar comping. Yet guitarists have been slow to develop a comping vocabulary with harmonic sophistication, subtle voice leading and rhythmic flexibility on the level of the best contemporary pianists. This book seeks to remedy the situation by articulating a comping vocabulary in the context of six of the most often played tunes in jazz: 12-bar blues, rhythm changes, minor blues, a modal tune and a couple of standards. The comps include rhythms with forward motion, chords built in fourth intervals, parallel constant structure voicings, polychords, slash chords, etc. The focus is on developing a contemporary approach to rhythm, phrasing, chord voicings, voice leading, chord substitution, and reharmonization. A play-along CD recording of the guitar comps with bass and drums helps get the sounds and rhythms in your ear. The theory of how the comping concepts are applied to the music is explained with ideas on how to use them creatively.

Clifford Brown - Essential Jazz Lines Of Clifford Brown - Book and CD
by Corey Christiansen and Kim Bock. This book/CD presents some of the soloing techniques Clifford Brown employed as well as numerous lines over various chords and chord progressions similar to the lines he used in his playing. Because the major and minor ii-V-I progressions are the most widely used chord progression in jazz standards, the lines in this text will work over these progressions. The accompanying CD contains many play-along tracks (vamps of one chord and vamps around the circle of fourths) that the student should use to practice the material in one key and then master it in all twelve keys. Clifford Brown had an extraordinary gift for stringing together coherent, beautifully developed lines in the bebop idiom and delivering them with a rich, dynamic and always swinging tone. By studying both the vocabulary and the stylistic characteristics of a major player like Clifford Brown the student will add to his personal improvising arsenal of musical ideas and expressive devices. Have fun studying these concepts and applying them in your improvised solos!

The accompanying play-along CD provides the rhythm parts for each section - including a track 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.

Randy Felts - Reharmonization Techniques - Book
Randy Felts has been a professor of jazz harmony at Berklee College of Music for over 25 years and in this book he reveals how to reharmonize a tune, and give the melody new color by changing it's underlying harmonics. Learn reharmonization techniques such as: simple substitution (substitute chords with others in the same harmonic family to vary tunes while monitoring their original color), diatonic approach (reharmonize with chords from a single key to create a harmonic change for most standard jazz and pop contexts), adding dominant and subdominant chords (use these chords or their tri-tone substitutions to create sophisticated harmonic sounds), harmonic displacement (relocate important cadential points in a phrase to create open space to fill with new chords), modal interchange (borrow chords from common minor keys to darken the harmonic color of phrases). He will teach you to work with bass lines, turnarounds, extended endings and modulatory interludes, diminished seventh chords, hybrid chord voicings and other advanced patterns to give your music a unique sound.

Book written by Ralph Heibutzki. Danny Gatton was a guitar virtuoso known for his wide stylistic range. With a musical vocabulary that included country, gospel, rockabilly, soul and standards, he dubbed his own style "Redneck Jazz". Hailed as the world's best "unknown" guitar player by both "Rolling Stone" and "Guitar Player" magazines, Gatton was a player's player who never received popular acclaim but who continues to influence guitarists everywhere! His personal demons and his struggle to reach a wider audience while staying true to his own music proved to be too much for him and in 1994 he took his own life. Drawing from first-hand interviews with dozens of friends, family members and fellow musicians, "Unfinished Business" places Gatton's musical contributions in context and documents his influence on those peers who admired him most.

Grant Green - Essential Jazz Lines - Book and CD - taught by Corey Christiansen
This book/CD focuses not only on lines in the style of Grant Green, but also some of the techniques he used. The jazz lines have been grouped by which type of chord or chords (major, minor, dominant seventh, etc.) they can be played against. Each section has a one or two chord vamp in one key to help guitarists hear how the line works against any given chord or chord progression. Play-along tracks for each harmonic situation moving around the circle of fourths help with learning the lines in all 12 keys. Before long, guitarists studying this method will have a vocabulary that will allow them to solo over the most common chord progressions in jazz. Eventually original ideas inspired by previously memorized lines will be created and an original voice will begin to emerge.

Ken Hatfield - Jazz and The Classical Guitar - Book and CD
Theory and Application. This book is designed to familiarize classical guitarists with the musical vocabulary of jazz and to encourage jazz guitarists to explore the beautiful sonorities and limitless expressive potential of the classical guitar! The first half of the book contains theoretical explanations focused on harmonic analysis of the types of chord changes and song forms one routinely encounters in the jazz repertoire - as it demonstrates the application of all twelve notes of the chromatic scale to any chord in any situation. The second half of the book is comprised of Ken Hatfield’s original compositions and transcriptions of his improvised solos. Both the tunes and the transcribed solos demonstrate how the theoretical material in the first half of the book can be artfully applied within the context of compositions representing three musical genres that have served as wellsprings of renewal throughout jazz’s deep and illustrious history: blues, rhythm changes and standards. The 14-track companion CD includes all the music from the second half of the book. The music is recorded in a variety of contexts including solo, duo, trio and quartets of differing instrumentations. Two of the songs are designed so that the student can play along with the rhythm section. Twelve songs feature Ken playing the heads and the solos. Ten of these are transcribed in their entirety, while two leave the solos for the student to transcribe (in total or in part) as ear training exercises.

Antonio Carlos Jobim: An All-Star Tribute - Video
Direct from Brazil comes this deeply appreciative musical tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), co-founder and leading composer of the Bossa Nova. With over four hundred songs to his credit, Jobim single handedly brought the Bossa Nova to the world, where it became a main ingredient in the jazz cookbook. Jobim's new sound adapted the rhythmic variety and percussive excitement of the Samba to the intimacy of syncopated guitar, while echoing the melodies and harmonies of cool jazz. This is an extraordinary gathering of jazz giants and together with Jobim himself (in his last recorded concert appearance), they recreate his classic melodies in a beautiful, concert-length (Thank You"). Songs include: "Once I Loved" - Shirley Horn: vocals, piano, "Aqua de Beber" -Gonzalo Rebulcaba: piano, "Olha Maria" -Gonzalo Rubalcaba: piano, Joe Henderson: tenor sax, "O Grande Amor"-Joe Henderson: tenor sax, "Chega de Saudad" -Jon Hendricks: vocal, Herbie Hancock: piano, "AFelicidade" -Gal Costa: vocals, Herbie Hancock: piano, "Se Todos Fossem" -Gal Costa: vocals, "Iguais a Voce - Luiza" -Antonio Carlos Jobim: piano, "Wave" - Antonio Carlos Jobim, "Girl From Ipenama" -Gal Costa, Jon Hendricks: vocals.

John Jorgenson - Intro to Gypsy Jazz Guitar - Book, DVD & CD
In this 2-hour DVD lesson, Jorgenson provides the foundational information and practice material necessary for you to gain an understanding of the Gypsy jazz guitar style. The first half of this volume addresses the important element of Gypsy jazz rhythm. After discussing correct right hand rhythm technique, Jorgenson teaches the closed chord forms of a basic blues progression and then systematically introduces new chords into that progression to add "color" and "spice" while also introducing you to the characteristic "moving chord" style of Gypsy rhythm. After addressing the basic blues progression, Jorgenson then transitions into the more Gypsy sounding minor blues progression and introduces the "three-note" chords which are prominent in Gypsy style rhythm guitar. The second half of this first volume addresses soloing. Here Jorgenson not only lays the groundwork of Gypsy jazz soloing, but in the process also presents you with a method which serves to greatly enhance your understanding of the fingerboard and improvisational playing. Jorgenson teaches arpeggios, note maps, lead patterns and Gypsy techniques in every area of the fingerboard and in various keys. Additionally, he masterfully shows how the arpeggios and patterns relate to one another.
