New Book: Elements of Jazz Music for Accordion by Renzo Ruggieri - Italyby Rob Howard |
A New Book entitled “Elements of Jazz”, basic level for accordion by jazz accordionist Renzo Ruggieri (picture left) is now available, translated into English by Romano Viazzani (picture right). The book contains a structured course in jazz music as applied to the accordion and “leaves no stone unturned in this educational journey through playing jazz on the accordion, from the history for jazz and its various styles to the knowledge of modes, chords and rhythms, needed to make the first inroads into playing a solo.” “The book contains scale runs in various modes and has some great little tunes based on the chord structures of some popular jazz standards. It looks at chord voicings and how to accompany with the left hand too whether one plays standard or free bass.” To purchase, email: info@renzoruggieri.it |
