In presenting these solos, we hope to bring musicians closer to the true genius of "Bird. These solos are in C concert key, bass clef. The book was originally published in Eb key and this new concert version should allow many more people to explore the won: dorful world of music that Charlie Parker gave us. ‘Most Jazz musicians have leamed to play by listening to records aind.imitating the notes, articulations, vibrato, etc. of the masters, We encourage you to play these with the actual recording. Listen to the record firs, then play through the solo slowly, gradually increasing the speed until you are at the recorded tempo Bird played it. | don’t feel the idea is to Hy to play the solos exactly as Bird did, but rather to find phrases, articulations, scoops, turns, ete. that you feel you would like to incorporate inlo your own playing. By being able to see and play the actual notes, it should help speed up the learning process, Many ployers play like Bird but retain their own personality. Practice with a metronome, Each day try to increase the tempo a litle, all the while retaining the inflections, articulations, ete. that you would use at the slower tempo. Try practicing some of these solos with the Aebersold Play A Long records. Take @ slow blues solo in F and play it with one of the records in the series that has a slow F blues, then move to a record that has a foster F blues. Itis fun to work towards play- ing the solos with Bird clong with the actual Parker recorded version. Blues make up the largest portion of this book. Rhythm changes come next. Some compositions have the two versions recorded by Porker in separate solos. When 4 measure occurs without a chord symbol above it, the chord is the same as the meas- ure preceeding it ‘Most players like to analyze solos in order to find out what the musician is do- ing. Our ears cannot always HEAR what is happening so we slow the music down: transcribe it, onalyze it, practice the licks, pattems and phrases we like best, and end up playing them in our own way on our instruments, We hove put chord symbols over most all bors fo encble you to analyze the notes in relation fo the chord, Remem- ber, each chord symbol represents a series of tones called o scale. Older musicians Used to improvise mainly on chord tones; Charlie Parker was one of the first to broaden that to include seales and substitute scales. For information on secle substitution refer to the Scale Syllabus chart.” Bird loved to use the b9 over the Dom. 7th chord/scole. The Blues scale and its accompanying licks was an important part of his music, even when playing songs other than blues! When you find licks or patterns that you enjoy, practice them in several keys so the melodic phrase becomes @ part of you. t should become automatic in order to really be useable in o playing situation. Only @ minimum of articulations have been put in this book. We feel that jazz, being an aural art form, is often times best imitated by listening over and over, and then playing the notes the way you hear it on the record. This might seem like the long way $0 do it, but experience has proven reliable. After all, who would object to listening conyway? Listening is what music is all about, The records from which these solos are taken are listed of the top of each solo page. They are contained in approximately eight records (some ore two record sets) and most all are stil available. The two record sets are a bargain! We hope you have as much enjoyment with this book as we have had putting it together. * For SCALE SYLLABUS see poge 143, Jamey Aebersold Editor’s note: ‘The tompos that these songs were performed at are indicated at the beginning of each piece. Bass clef instruments generally ore not as fast responding as treble clot instruments (such os the saxophone or trumpet). Try to play these as comfortably as possible using « metronome. Most of these songs will not be playable at Charlie Parker's, tempo on bass clef instruments, but great strides can be made with constant practice, Confirmation By Charlie Parker weave ons 42208 Fa? 697 7 Doi?
