Jazz Fundamentals in Flamenco: Symmetrical Scales in Bass Clef - Paperback

by Malcolm Lynn Baker (Author)

Jazz Fundamentals in Flamenco is a set of etudes based on a central feature of Flamenco - the various divisions of twos and threes that can be combined in a measure of 12/8. There are three books in the series; Major Modes, Jazz Minor Scales, and Symmetrical Scales. Each book is available in treble or bass clef. There are four sections in each book; Scale Rhythms (etudes on the scales in the various accent patterns), Arpeggio Patterns (etudes on the thirteen chords generated by each of the modes/scales), and two sets of Integrated Patterns that assign different pitch relationships to the rhythmic groupings. These etudes are a fun and challenging way of practicing that will develop advanced capacities of fundamental jazz harmonic/melodic materials, hone your triplet meter time, and increase your rhythmic and melodic flexibility.
