Finally, a great method which will show you how to play the acoustic jazz guitar in the style of players like Django Reinhardt, Oscar Alleman and Eddie Lang - their style is characterized by a powerful rhythm guitar and a vital swinging single-note solo line. Due to the fact that it can be very hard to master the original transcriptions, this book simplifies this style without losing the essence of the original sound. Written in standard notation and TAB, the material can be played by students and players that master the easy to intermediate level on plectrum style jazz guitar. All titles are included on CD, as well as some play along tracks which offer a great possibility to improvise on typical gypsy chord changes and rhythms.

Format: Book/CD Set

HOT CLUB SESSION FELIX

Preface
The Hot Swing Guitar Style has a special stamping. On one hand, it is powerful and vigorous, on the other hand it is humorous and poetic.
The guitar players in those days did not have pick-up systems or the comfort of amplified electric guitars with thin strings and low action. Thus brilliance and sound intensity had to be physically produced. So technological development is partly to blame that so few musicians today know how to play in the original style. Nevertheless the popularity for this music has lasted.
The most important pioneers of the Acoustic Jazz Guitar were Eddie Lang, Django Reinhardt and Oscar Alleman. The tradition went on with "Sinti and Roma" and was formally known as "Gypsy Jazz Guitar" (Hans'sche Weiss Quintet, Schnuckenack Reinhardt Quintet, Birelli Lagrene.)
The title of this book "Hot Club Session" refers to a Jazz Club in Paris named "Hot Club de France". There, the Hot Club Quintet often performed. The Quintet was founded in the thirties by Stephan Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, the guitar player and one of the most important European jazz musicians in history. The fabulous music of this ensemble has been documented on many recordings.
Hot Club Jazz is a European style of jazz music dominated by string instruments. The typical Quintet consists of three guitars, a violin and upright bass. Trumpet, drums or saxophone, associated with traditional American Jazz, are rare.
This edition is designed for guitar players who want to familiarize themselves with the basics of the Acoustic Swing Jazz Style. Good luck, have fun and enjoy, Felix Schell

modern jazz guitar styles chapter one introduction &
A jazz steps into the 21st century, creative guitarists have an unprecedented array of musical options at their fingertips. Fundamental study materials are more available in more forms than ever, and contemporary jazz has become infused with the influences of pop, rock, techno, hip-hop, rap, world music, etc. We guitarists may freely draw from not only the musical gestures of these styles, but also the techniques, tones and production values. In so doing, the new breed of jazz guitarist is well within the greatest traditions of jazz, which has always used whatever means necessary to express itself. Consider Dizzy Gillespie's championing of Afro-Cuban music, Illinois Jacquet's growling, distorted tone or Miles Davis' radical transformation of Tin Pan Alley and show tunes. As soon as technology permitted, jazz musicians recorded extended improvisations and compositions, and the advent of the electric guitar itself allowed guitarists to utilize be-bop phraseology.
The seminal work of modem jazz guitar pioneers such as John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Ralph Towner and many others now enters the jazz continuum and stands equally alongside the work of Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall etc. While these great artists deliberately set about combining rock and jazz styles, a new generation of jazz guitarists accepts these techniques as matter of fact. The sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Charlie Parker sit side by side in the new jazz guitar vocabulary.
In this book we will explore modem soloing techniques, chord playing, rhythmic theory and its practical application. Throughout, we will examine major guitarist/composers of recent years and how various styles from outside the jazz tradition have informed their work. There will also be a chapter on signal processing devices and their role in jazz guitar. Woven into all chapters and their various subjects will be commentary on specific artistis and albums where you can find great examples of the particular technique or effect. Also, I will begin every chapter with a short essay, which will try to give some historical context to the materials and times.
I will include a detailed analysis of two original compositions from my CD Invisible City (Quicksil ver Records/Odd Culture Productions) in which we will take an in-depth look at the compositional material, guitar techniques and effects, with an eye on all the material presented here. 1'11 conclude with a list of suggested listening and reading, where I will recommend CDs by many of the artists we've looked at, and related reading and viewing material.
While this volume contains some material that may be helpful and of interest to the beginning or intermediate player, I have geared most of the material and subject matter to the serious student of jazz guitar. While this list is by no means definitive, I would consider a basic grasp of the following material to be prerequisite to the subject matter in this book.

1. Major, melodic and harmonic minor scales, their modes and chords, as well as the diminished, whole-tone and pentatonic scales.

2. Basic fretboard harmony, including standard voicings for all major, minor, dominant and
diminished 7th chords, with extensions.

3. Basic principals of chord substitutions (i.e. tritone substitution, backcycling, triad over bass,
reharmonizing, etc.)

4. Knowledge of a good number of jazz standards (melody, chord changes and improvisational
analysis), preferably memorized.

5. Familiarity with the history of jazz guitar and the ability to identify major figures from all eras by ear. ...

modern jazz guitar styles andre bush biography
Guitarist and composer Andre Bush draws from a wide range of influences in his music. He combines the
lyrical and creative approach of modem jazz heroes such as Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny with the
high-energy grooves and complex sonic structures of innovative guitarists such as John McLaughlin, Sco
Henderson and Nguyen Le. In addition to a thorough grounding in the jazz tradition, his extensive experience in
the world of rock and pop give him a unique musical outlook. Andre's playing seamlessly reconciles the
disparate worlds and establishes his conception as a natural and logical extension of the jazz guitar tradition.

modern jazz guitar styles
andre bush biography Guitarist and composer Andre Bush draws from a wide range of influences in his music. He combines the lyrical and creative approach of modem jazz heroes such as Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny with the high-energy grooves and complex sonic structures of innovative guitarists such as John McLaughlin, Scott Henderson and Nguyen Le. In addition to a thorough grounding in the jazz tradition, his extensive experience in the world of rock and pop give him a unique musical outlook. Andre's playing seamlessly reconciles these disparate worlds and establishes his conception as a natural and logical extension of the jazz guitar tradition.
Andre's new album, Start From Silence, pairs Andre with master pianist Art Lande and an allstar band performing his complex yet accessible compositions. Challenging rhythms, beautiful harmony, poignant lyricism and brilliant improvisation combine to create a cohesive and unique album.
Start From Silence follows up Invisible City (Quicksilver/Increase,) an album that featured jazz icons Dave Liebman and Steve Smith. Invisible City emerged as one of the most critically acclaimed releases of 2000, named "CD of the Year" by the Jazz Review, and was added to hundreds of jazz radio stations nationwide, appearing on both CMJ and Gavin jazz charts.
Andre has performed or recorded with Dave Liebman, Steve Smith, Paul McCandless, Art Lande, Kenn Werner, James Genus, Charlie Haden, Tootie Heath, George Cables, Buster Williams, Carl Allen, Andy Narell Darol Anger, Matt Rollings, Liz Story, Will Ackerman, Paul Hanson, Jack Perla and many others. Andre has maintained a longtime musical partnership with Jenna Mammina, serving as her guitarist musical director for several albums and tours. He has appeared at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, San Francisco Jazz Festival, Montere .
Jazz Festival, Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Windham Hill's Winter Solstice tour and in clubs and theaters around the country. As a session guitarist, Andre has appeared with various bands at the Lilith Fair, on VHI and MTV and Alice Radio nationwide, contributed to many recording projects, and toured with a wide variety of international artists.
Andre is a naturally gifted teacher who clarifies and inspires enthusiasm for complex musical concepts. He is in frequent demand in the US and Europe as a guitar clinician and jazz educator.
Currently, Andre is touring in support of Start From Silence and Modern Jazz Guitar Styles. He teaches at The Jazzschool in Berkeley, CA and at his home studio, is a frequent faculty member at Stanford Jazz Workshop and Jazzcamp West and is a regular contributor to Guitar Player Magazine.

1 Introduction

2 Scales I Single Note Soloing
In this chapter we will explore modern approaches to single note soloing. Modern intervallic choices, scalar approaches, picking techniques and articulation such as sweeps and legato phrasing will be covered, as well as a few practicing ideas.

3 Chords
Here we will cover some approaches to modern chord voicings. We'll focus on breaking out of standard chord forms and developing voice leading. Quartal harmony, cluster voicings and modern substitutions will be covered.

4 Rhythm
In this chapter we will explore ways in which various rhythmic languages have been integrated into jazz in the past three decades. Odd meters, Brazilian rhythms, Indian theory as well as some metronome basics will be explored.

5 Effects
In this chapter we will explore signal processing, tonal manipulation, detuning, etc. in modern jazz guitar. We'll cover time-based effects (reverb, delays, etc ...) tonal effects (distortion, chorusing), amp technology, and how they have been integrated into several different guitarists musical languages.

6 Analysis of "Odd Culture, This " and "Past and Future Warriors" In this chapter I'll give a detailed analysis of two songs from my album Invisible City (Odd Culture Productions/Quicksilver Records). Many of the elements that we've studied throughout the book are present here, such as odd meters, modern chord voicings and jazz/rock guitar techniques, so this will be a good opportunity to explore these elements from the ground up.

7 Listening I Reading I Viewing I Bibliography I Study Materials I'll conclude the book with a list and comments on several artists, their CDs, books and videos, to further help your studies. You'll be familiar with some of these players, but others may be new and definitely worth checking out. Also included will be a list of additional study materials.


modern jazz guitar styles
chapter one introduction
As jazz steps into the 21st century, creative guitarists have an unprecedented array of musical options at 6, their fingertips. Fundamental study materials are more available in more forms than ever, and contemporary jazz has become infused with the influences of pop, rock, techno, hip-hop, rap, world music, etc. We guitarists may freely draw from not only the musical gestures of these styles, but also the techniques, tones and production values. In so doing, the new breed of jazz guitarist is well within the greatest traditions of jazz, which has always used whatever means necessary to express itself. Consider Dizzy Gillespie's
championing of Afro-Cuban music, Illinois Jacquet's growling, distorted tone or Miles Davis' radical transformation of Tin Pan Alley and show tunes. As soon as technology permitted, jazz musicians recorded extended improvisations and compositions, and the advent of the electric guitar itself allowed guitarists to utilize be-bop phraseology.
The seminal work of modern jazz guitar pioneers such as John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Ralph Towner and many others now enters the jazz continuum and stands equally alongside the work of Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall etc. While these great artists deliberately set about combining rock and jazz styles, a new generation of jazz guitarists accepts these techniques as matter of fact. The sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Charlie Parker sit side by side in the new jazz guitar vocabulary.
In this book we will explore modern soloing techniques, chord playing, rhythmic theory and its practical application. Throughout, we will examine major guitarist/composers of recent years and how various styles from outside the jazz tradition have informed their work. There will also be a chapter on signal processing devices and their role in jazz guitar. Woven into all chapters and their various subjects will be commentary on specific artists and albums where you can find great examples of the particular technique or effect. Also, I will begin every chapter ith a hort essay, which will try to give some historical context to the materials and times.
I will include a detailed analysis of two original compositions from my CD Invisible City (Quicksilver & cds/Odd Culture Productions) in which we will take an in-depth look at the compositional material, guitar hniques and effects, with an eye on all the material presented here. 1'11 conclude with a list of suggested ning and reading, where I will recommend CDs by many of the artists we've looked at, and related reading and ring material.
While this volume contains some material that may be helpful and of interest to the beginning or intermediate pia 'er I ha e geared most of the material and subject matter to the serious student of jazz guitar. While this list is by no means definitive, I would consider a basic grasp of the following material to be prerequisite to the subject matter in this book.

1. Major, melodic and harmonic minor scales, their modes and chords, as well as the diminished,
whole-tone and pentatonic scales.

2. Basic fretboard harmony, including standard voicings for all major, minor, dominant and
diminished 7th chords, with extensions.

3. Basic principals of chord substitutions (i.e. tritone substitution, backcycling, triad over bass,
reharmonizing, etc.)
4 Knowledge of a good number of jazz standards (melody, chord changes and improvisational
analysis), preferably memorized.

5. Familiarity with the history of jazz guitar and the ability to identify major figures from all eras
by ear.
