Description: Slight creasing to the spine of the book. World renowned authors, musicians and recording artists,Frank Villafranca and Andrew D. Gordon,have composed a collection of grooves and melodies in the Smooth Jazz Genre creating an exciting supplemental jazz study series for beginner, intermediate and advanced jazz students and musicians. After releasing their first CD Supergroovin, which received world wide airplay, they recognized a need in the music publishing business for a series of books on contemporary improvising within the Smooth Jazz genre. Andrew composed and recorded all the rhythm tracks used in this book. In their opinion, the melodies were so catchy they couldnt resist developing them into completed songs. Mainline Connection, Villefranchesur-Mer and Youre The Only One In My Life, are a few featured on their second CD, Mainline Connection. The smooth jazz grooves in this 46 page book feature a variety of contemporary rhythm section styles includingR&B, Jazz, Funk, Top 40, Rock, Gospel, Hip Hop and Latin.These stylistic influences are frequently associated with smooth jazz. Popular artists in this genre include,The Super Groovers, David Sanborn, Eric Marienthal, Kenny G, Dave Koz, David Benoit, Tom Scott, Gerald Albright, Candy Dulfer, Wilton Felder, Boney James, Chris Botti, Chuck Mangione, Sade, George Benson, Peter White, Lee Ritenour, Earl Klugh, Larry Carlton, Jeff Lorber, Brian Culbertson, George Duke, Joe Sample, Spyro Gyra, Pat Metheny, Four Play, The Yellow Jackets and The Rippingtons.We suggest that you become acquainted with as many of these artists as possible. On each of the 20 tracks, the groove is separated into 3 melodic ideas. Each melodic idea (example or riff) is played first, by the saxophone with the groove, followed by just the rhythm section groove, without sax. The 1st example is usually the easiest, the 2nd slightly harder and the 3rd the most difficult.
