Aaron Weinstein: Swingin' Jazz Fiddle Solos: Violon

Good jazz is made from good musical ideas. The brilliance of jazz violinists like Stephane Grappelli and Stuff Smith came, not from instrumental virtuosity but their 'jazz intelligence'-their ability to synthesize the jazzlanguage and effectively articulate it on their instrument. In this book you'll find a collection of jazz Violin solos-all of which can be played in first position. These solos will give your fingers an opportunity to talk jazz,and do it while bypassing many of the Violin's technical landmines.
