Areas covered include: • Major 7th chords • Minor 7th chords • Dominant 7th chords • Minor ii (flat-5) chords • Tritone substitutions • Variety of progressions using all of the above • And more C Instruments Book & DVD (43719)............................................................. $50.00 B-flat Tenor & Soprano Saxophone Book & DVD (43721) ..............................$50.00 B-flat Trumpet & Clarinet Book & DVD (43723) .............................................$50.00 E-flat Instruments Book & DVD (43725) .......................................................$50.00 Bass Clef Instruments Book & DVD (43727) .................................................$50.00

The Articulate Jazz Musician

By Caleb Chapman & Jeff Coffin

Articulation is a fundamental element in the jazz vocabulary, but how can it be taught effectively in a group or individual setting? The secret is to provide a clear set of well-defined rules on jazz articulation to create a cohesive sound for your group. Award-winning educator Caleb Chapman and multi GRAMMY® Award-winning saxophonist Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band) provide a unified approach to teach this crucial skill. The teacher book includes answer keys and additional teaching suggestions.

Each book contains: • A proven set of “articulation rules” for phrasing, and interpretation to incorporate into daily practice • Original compositions written by Coffin to reinforce concepts • A play-along CD featuring a world-class quartet: Jeff Coffin (tenor saxophone), Victor Wooten (bass), Roy “Futureman” Wooten (drums), and Chris Walters (piano)
