Fiddle Tunes on Jazz Changes

(Berklee Guide). Develop jazz solos using melodic fragments from traditional fiddle tunes. These etudes show how melodic cells can be used to create extended improvisations. In each example, fragments of a traditional fiddle tune (Turkey in the Straw, Arkansas Traveler) are developed over jazz standard chord progressions. Each etude is preceded by a short introduction, discussing the development techniques at work. The online audio tracks feature swinging interpretations of each etude, and provide play-along tracks so that you can practice each concept. Online audio is accessed at halleonard.com/mylibrary
