Book Reviews of Vol. 54, Maiden Voyage: Fourteen Easy-To-Play Jazz Tunes (Book & CD Set)

Book Review: Nice Collection for Beginning Jazz Improvisers
Summary: 5 Stars

Aptly named, Maiden Voyage features tracks that are nearly ideal for beginning jazz improvisers. The chord changes are not overly quick, nor are the tempi on the tunes. Like most of the packages that Jamey Aebersold has put together over the years, Maiden Voyage works best for players of melodic instruments (flute, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, guitar, etc.). This is useful for guitarists and pianists who want to practice their comping, as it is for bass players. The only problem with using the basic version of any of Aebersold's book/CD packages for comping or working out bass lines is that there is no soloist to react to. This features, however, a solid rhythm section and putting yourself into it requires practice. A nice selection of tunes. Some people that prefer a more chord-based approach to improvisation might find Aebersold's focus on modes a little tricky at first, but this kind of modal approach is basically where jazz has been for some time now. Besides, using a scale (mode) based approach will help the improviser develop a more flowing melodic style. Give Maiden Voyage an "A."
