Iconic Lines: An Interactive Chronology of the Genes of Jazz Vocabulary

Humanity’s stories, traditions, customs, culture, and even our cellular makeup are passed down by genes—small bits of information that have withstood the test of time, which we wouldn’t exist without. From Miles Davis to Michael Brecker, Bill Evans to Brad Mehldau, so exists the art of jazz. In each musician’s story, a common string connects the great artists of today directly back through each prior decade, all the way to the 1930s and before. These “genes” have been bestowed through the generations—then molded, expanded upon, reshaped, newly expressed, and personalized by each legendary artist brave enough to carry them forth. Now, in Iconic Lines: An Interactive Chronology of Jazz Vocabulary, those genes are being passed to you—so that you might be the next great artist to bear their importance. Along with a complete video masterclass that provides a close-up look at how world-renowned bassist Janek Gwizdala plays these lines, this book includes over 300 highly polished play-alongs in multiple tempos that will allow you to put all of these concepts into action immediately. The book also comes complete with TAB and treble clef notation for each example.
