Jamey Aebersold Jazz, Volume 116 (Miles of Modes - Modal Jazz)

What do you play when you have one chord for 8 or 16 bars? The "Modal Jazz era" presented new challenges for improvisors, spawning a fruitful period rich in new ideas, concepts, and harmonic exploration. This set includes several "Standard" forms and important practice tracks, many of which are "period accurate'" and others which are stylistically more contemporary.  These tracks are designed to foster understanding, facility and familiarity. Many of the first tracks are slow, making them perfect for beginners. Intermediate and advanced players will enjoy the opportunity to "doubletime" and experiment with an endless array of chord/scale substitutions over the otherwise simple tracks. Level: Intermediate/Advanced.
