Essential Information About This Book

  • 50 note-for-note transcriptions of recorded solos by Miles Davis, to work closely with his language.
  • A comprehensive study tool to analyze phrasing, articulation, rhythmic placement, and melodic choices of a jazz master.
  • An essential repertoire ranging from bebop to modal jazz, ideal for enriching your improvisation vocabulary.

Summary of This Book

Designed as a reference resource, this collection brings together 50 note-for-note transcribed solos from Miles Davis recordings. The goal is clear: to allow you to delve into the details of his playing (phrase construction, breath management, motifs, repetitions, variations, and sense of swing), in order to develop a concrete understanding of jazz improvisation.

The content is based on a selection of standards and iconic themes, offering a variety of tempos, harmonic colors, and aesthetics. You will find transcriptions of: So What, All Blues, Freddie Freeloader, Four, Oleo, Walkin', Stella By Starlight, Summertime, and Bye Bye Blackbird, among others. This variety makes it an excellent resource for working on both bebop (lines, chord progressions, targeting guide tones) and more modal approaches (motivic development, space, tension and resolution).

Ideal for instrumentalists wishing to improve their improvisation skills, this book lends itself to several study methods: playing the solo in unison with the recording, isolating cells and transposing them into all keys, or identifying recurring phrases to integrate into your own musical language. An essential for anyone wanting to study the Miles Davis style in a structured, musical way that is directly applicable in jam sessions and concerts alike.
