David Baker: Jazz - Expressions and Explorations (Treble Clef edition)

David Baker is one of the original jazz cellists, and in his newest and most innovative book yet on the art of improvisation he shares special tips from his decades as the leading jazz strings educator. Through systematic study this text will allow more complete musical expression by emphasising the phrases and patterns that work.

This contains a wealth of information for string players (violin, cello etc), including explanation and exercises on the basic principle of "fretted playing" (the ability to organise material by position on non-fretted instruments). Also includes tips on bowing and phrasing. Suitable for all treble clef instruments and of special interest to string players.
