Stop Guessing. Start Speaking the Language of Jazz.
5 Annotated Etudes for Bb Instruments: Volume 1
Most jazz students spend years "noodling"—hitting scales and hoping for the best. You learn the chords, you know the melody, but the gap between the two feels like a mystery.
I created this book to bridge that gap.
This isn't just a collection of solos. It is a deep-dive into the actual jazz language used to navigate the world’s most loved standards. Every phrase is labeled, every enclosure is identified, and every bebop scale is mapped out directly on the page.
You won't just play these solos; you will understand exactly how they were built.
What’s Inside:
I’ve chosen five essential standards that every jazz musician needs in their repertoire:
- Autumn Leaves (The foundation of jazz harmony)
- Fly Me to the Moon (Melodic phrasing and elegance)
- There Will Never Be Another You (Navigating fast-moving changes)
- The Girl From Ipanema (Bossa Nova phrasing and rhythmic interest)
- All The Things You Are (Mastering the ultimate harmonic workout)
The Complete Practice Package:
- Annotated PDFs (Bb Pitch): Clean, professional notation with comprehensive "Jazz Language" labels (Chord Tones, Bebop Scales, Chromatic Enclosures, and more).
- High-Quality Backing Tracks: Practice with a rhythm section that feels real, so you can focus on your time and feel.
- Demonstration Tracks: Hear exactly how the solos should sound—the articulation, the swing, and the intent.
Moving Beyond the Page
These solos are the "blueprint" for my 5-Week Live Jazz Melody & Solo Writing Course starting this June. By working through this book, you aren't just learning five solos—you’re learning the system I use to create them.
(Note: The live course is exclusive to Level 3 Jazz Language Lab members. Details on how to join the live sessions are included inside your book download.)
Stop guessing your way through your practice sessions. Take the first step toward playing with real intent.
