This book provides an easy way to learn and perform compositions with a full ensemble, in the comfort of your own home! Blue Bossa offers a unique opportunity to take off on a happy bossa nova tune that has a relatively simple harmonic progression. The Girl from Ipanema is another of those Jobim tunes that has a great feel and very relaxed approach to melodic interpratation. No More Blues serves as an example that personal interpretation of a song does indeed inform one's playing, and is a great tune for improvisation. These classic bossa novas, 10 in all, will provide the clarinetist with countless hours of enjoyment. This Music Minus One edition includes a newly engraved transcription of the solo part, along with a CD containing the complete performance of each piece in digital stereo, followed by a second version minus the clarinet for you, the soloist, to play with.
