Speak Jazz - December 24, 2013

En este asunto

At first I would like to wish you all Marry Christmas! I am really sorry for the delay as I had really tuff times in the school. In Decembers issue we are going to do some work with a solo played by one of my top favourite saxophone players. It is a solo from very famous Christmas song called Santa Claus is coming to town played by one and only Mr. Ed Calle. I really like his fluent playing. It sounds like he knows how his solo will end before he even starts playing it.

Speak Jazz Magazine Description:

Many young people (including myself - the author) who like jazz music, would like to learn to improvise, are missing some of the main points when studying improvisation. You can find many advices on the internet and they are all great for help. As many of you could notice, many times we meet with the most important process - transcribing. Speak Jazz magazine takes you across the most underestimated parts of the transcribing. The analysis, variations and importing. In each publication you'll find one transcription of a solo played by some great jazz musicians and will do a detailed work out with the few bars of that unique material.
