Composed by Dick Weissman. Woodwinds, Flute, Classical, Adult Contemporary, Technique, Theory and Reference. All styles. Book and online audio. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #21232BCDEB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.21232BCDEB).
ISBN 9781610653275. 8.75 x 11.75 inches.
The non-jazz improvisation series is a concept that germinated in Dick Weissman's mind while he was attending music school. He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune, Cripple Creek, and wanted the trombone to take a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was unsuitable for the chart, Dick realized that, in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise, there are even jazz musicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their stylistic backgrounds.The non-jazz improvisation series mostly includes new original tunes that are intended to show how to improvise in many musical styles, including: blues; country; American folk; Latin-American; world music, including South American, Eastern European, and Asian; odd meters (playing in a variety of time signatures); New Age; classical; and Folk-Rock. In short, the books are an encyclopedia of virtually every musical style, excluding jazz. Includes access to online audio.
