Etudes for Phrasing and Articulation

Learn to play with jazz phrasing and articulation. These 27 duets are in jazz

and jazz-influenced styles such as swing, bebop, funk, samba, and others.

They are appropriate for performance by any melodic instruments. The duets

feature independent contrapuntal lines, and practicing them will give you

intimate insight into how these constructs sound and can be used to create a

wide variety of colors. You will improve your ear, sense of timing, phrasing,

and your facility in bringing theoretical principles into musical expression.

You will learn to use: jazz staccato and legato articulations · scales,

modes, harmonies and other structures · various meters and ways of

interpreting them · phrasing within and between measures · swing feel · and

more.
