Solo transcriptions by Roland Leone

by Joe Pass

Music critics and performers alike have hailed Joe Pass as one of the finest jazz musicians to have ever lived. This book effectively combines five previously published books by Joe Pass in a single comprehensive volume including his insights on harmony, melody, and phrasing as well as transcriptions of recorded solos and Joe Pass/Herb Ellis duets. The transcribed solos are: Bay City Blues, Foxy Chick and a Cool Cat, Time In, Blues in G, Dante's Inferno, and Grete. The duet selections are: Bonnie, Jazz Waltz, Some of These Days, G Blues, Hot Stuff, and Ballad. All selections appear in standard notation only with chord symbols written over the staves. The solo and duet selections are intermediate to advanced in difficulty.
