Due voci tenor by Rampone & Cazzani
My new books and play-along "Roots & Routes" were published in May 2022 by Edition Gruber, Germany.
Roots & Routes: A Guide to Developing Repertoire and Styles (play along & books for C, Bb, Eb instruments).
This collection of (twelve) original pieces was inspired by many years of musical travels and experiences in Africa, Japan, Brazil, Europe and the US. My previous 4 books mainly examined specific approaches to jazz improvisation. These 12 compositions demonstrate the influences of World and Ethnic Music on jazz, with a particular focus on the music of Southern Africa.
The play-along is intended for a wide range of instruments with medium to advanced levels of instrumental proficiency. The tempos range from medium slow to medium fast. Musical styles include samba, swing, New Orleans second line, jazz rock, kwela, ghoema, mbaquanga and mzabalazo.
Please check out the tabs on the left that represent various fields of my performing and teaching career. I will be adding material on a regular basis with a special focus on jazz education. I hope you find this material useful and enlightening.
un caro saluto!
Mike
