Hal Leonard Corporation Presents

BUILDING A JAZZ CHORD SOLO

By Fred Sokolow

54-page book with accompanying CD featuring all musical examples

Written in tab & standard music notation

Four jazz standards are presented, each with four arrangements at varying levels of difficulty:

• A beginner's arrangement, using mostly first-position chords
• An intermediate arrangement, using moveable chords and featuring a more developed chord vocabulary
• An advanced arrangement, including ample chord substitutions and reharmonisation
• An improvisational chord solo that leaves the melody behind. This teaches how to improvise a chord solo over a given set of changes

Plenty of information is presented along the way that will teach you to build your own chord solos as well as understand and play jazz progressions. All the arrangements are played on the CD that comes with the book.
