Speak Jazz - January 21, 2014

In this issue

I am very sorry for the delay again, I have already explained reason in the previous issue. That\'s why I decided to make a contest in this issue (More on page 18). In this issue I am going to analyse for you the solo played by Mr. Eyþór Gunnarsson - the keyboard player of the most favourite band of mine. I\'ve been listening to Mezzoforte for many years and I really want to share one of my favourite solos played by Mr. Gunnarsson. This synth lead solo is from the tune called Take Off from Mezzoforte\'s seventh album, \'Rising\'.

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.
