Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÊClassically trained jazz guitarist Diego Barber presents five well-developed themes and a 3-movement solo sonata transcribed from his outstanding commercial CD recordings:ÊCalima, One Minute Later, Tales, andÊThe Choice. Two of the tracks, ÒElvira MariaÓ and the 3-movementÊSonata ÒBanc dÕArguinÓÊare strictly guitar solos, while ÒRichiÓ is a solo accompanied by light percussion. ÒKilianÕs MountainÓ is a reduced score of an extended duet with a pianist, and ÒDesiertoÓ and ÒVirgiannaÓ include expert sidemen on saxophone, bass and drums.Ê The music ventures from complex melody-chord textures to hard-swinging grooves, all played with spontaneity and a heightened awareness of time, dynamics, color, technique and tone. Even seasoned guitarists will find these pieces rhythmically and technically challenging, but they provide a roadmap to the recordings, and rare insight to the workings of a unique musical mind.Ê Diego BarberÕsÊCompositions for Classical GuitarÊare written in standard notation only, with online access to stellar solo and ensemble recordings. AboutÊSonata ÒBanc dÕArguinÓ É Diego Barber is a native of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, just off the northeast coast of Africa; in writingÊSonata ÒBanc dÕArguin,Ó the main solo piece in this collection, he was inspired by the major cities, Nouadhibou and Nouakchott, the Banc dÕArguin National Park, and the desert of the West African country of Mauritania.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to familiarize classical guitarists with the musical vocabulary of jazz, and to encourage jazz guitarists to explore the beautiful sonorities and limitless expressive potential of the classical guitar. the first half of the book contains theoretical explanations focused on harmonic analysis of the types of chord changes and song forms one routinely encounters in the jazz repertoire, as it demonstrates the application of all twelve notes of the chromatic scale to any chord in any situation. the second half of the book is comprised of Ken Hatfield's original compositions and transcriptions of his improvised solos. Both the tunes and the transcribed solos demonstrate how the theoretical material in the first half of the book can be artfully applied within the context of compositions representing three musical genres that have served as wellsprings of renewal throughout jazz's deep and illustrious history: blues, rhythm changes, and standards. the 14-track companion CD includes all the music from the second half of the book. the music is recorded in a variety of contexts, including solo, duo, trio, and quartets of differing strumentations. Two of the songs are designed so that the student can play along with the rhythm section. Twelve songs feature Ken playing the heads and the solos. Ten of these are transcribed in their entirety, while two leave the solos for the student to transcribe (in total or in part) as ear training exercises.
