Jamey Aebersold Jazz, Volume 11: Herbie Hancock

Eight songs written by Herbie Hancock that range from the funky "Watermelon Man" to the modal "Maiden Voyage." Beginners will find tunes containing only 3 or 4 chords at relaxed tempos. Intermediate players will enjoy a variety of styles to choose from and advanced players can get into unusual changes and faster tempos. Contains much variety including rock, modal, and swing. This, like Volumes 5, 17, 54, and 70, is another great transitional set to take you from learning scales and chords to actually improvising on real jazz standards. Rhythm Section: Kenny Barron (p); Ron Carter (b); Billy Hart (d). Titles: Cantaloupe Island * Watermelon Man * Maiden Voyage * Toys * Dolphin Dance * Jessica * And What if I Don't * Eye of the Hurricane.
