JAZZ AND THE CLASSICAL GUITAR - THEORY AND APPLICATION
by Ken Hatfield
Photo
Book/CD set. Designed to familiarize classical guitarists with the musical vocabulary of jazz, and to encourage jazz guitarists to explore the sonorities and expressive potential of the classical guitar. The first half contains theoretical explanations focused on harmonic analysis of the types of chord changes and song forms common in the jazz repertoire, and demonstrates the application of all twelve notes of the chromatic scale to any chord in any situation. The second half of the book are Hatfields originals. The tunes and the transcribed solos demonstrate how the material in the first half can be applied to three musical genres that have served as wellsprings of renewal throughout jazzs history: blues, rhythm changes, and standards. The CD is recorded in a variety of contexts, including solo, duo, trio, and quartets of differing strumentations. Two of the songs include rhythm section play-alongs. Ten are transcribed in their entirety, while two leave the solos for the student to transcribe as ear training exercises. Beginning/intermediate. 248 pp.
