Book Reviews of Vol. 70, Killer Joe (Book & CD Set)
Book Review: Good Basic Jazz Improvisation Material
Summary: 5 Stars
Aebersold's Killer Joe book and compact disc package does what his other packages do: it provides a sound foundation for jazz improvisation. Unlike some of his artist-focused collections, though, this one includes a nice selection of post-bop pieces. Because of the way in which the piano and bass are separated in the stereo mix--like all of Aebersold's work--it is suitable for melodic improvisation or for comping improvisation on a wide variety of instruments. Yes, as another reviewer mentions, Jamey Aebersold focuses on modes. As a college educator, I find some value in this, more so than in a purely chord-focused approach to jazz improvisation. Ultimately, though, chords and modes are just materials and the user of this set or any other play-along set must use his or her ears. And, a lot of listening to skilled jazz performers is a must. As a package that points the way and provides the user with a solid rhythm section Killer Joe rates an "A."
