Product Specs
- Product Number: MB986
- Publisher: Volonte
- Barcode: 9788863889871
- Arrangement: C Instruments
This anthology collects a wide and representative selection of the most significant pieces by Charlie Parker, crossing the entire arc of his production as a leader and as the protagonist of the bebop. From reworked blues to contrafacts, from lyric ballads to pieces of extraordinary rhythmic and harmonic complexity, the volume returns the variety and consistency of its language.
Each composition testifies to the melodic invention, structural precision and improvisational energy that have redefined modern jazz. The anthology is thought of both as a study instrument and as a reference repertoire for musicians, analysts and enthusiasts. The result is an organic portrait of Parker as an author, improviser and central figure in the history of jazz. Edition for instruments in C
The notes you see are the actual sounding notes.
If the score shows a C, the instrument plays a C, and it sounds as a C.
Bb instruments (e.g. trumpet, clarinet) written C sounds B?
Eb instruments (e.g. alto saxophone) written C sounds E?
