A NEW APPROACH TO JAZZ IMPROVISATION
Over 127 PLAY-A-LONG Book & CD Sets
The best way to learn music is to play music! There is something for everyone
in these play-a-long book and CD sets, whether you are a young, aspiring player,
teacher, professional, or retired professional. Today, Jamey's play-a-longs are
used and enjoyed by all segments of the musical spectrum from elementary
students to professional jazz musicians, such as Randy Brecker, James Moody,
and Phil Woods. No longer are scales, exercises and arpeggios simply dull,
single-lined strings of notes with no harmonic foundations. Melodies suddenly come
alive and are easier to learn when some of the best rhythm sections in the business
back you up.
You can actually practice with such well-known jazz personalities as:
• DAVE BRUBECK

I was using it to get my double
time playing together &
evenness of the keys.
It worked! I use it with all my

one wants to get it flowing.”

BLUES IN ALL KEYS
All Levels. A great way to expand your
blues playing in every key! Try playing some of the tougher keys without looking at the music and see just
how fast your ear takes over. You’ll
find yourself gaining confidence very
quickly and greatly improving your
soloing. Charlie Parker learned the
Blues in all 12 keys before he learned
anything else. Transposed for all instruments. Each key contains a different blues melody and two compatible chord/scale progressions.

I GOT RHYTHM CHANGES
(In All Keys)
All Levels. Explores the fundamentals
of playing rhythm. For decades, jazz
greats have used these progressions
as springboards to new interpretations and improvisations. Charlie
Parker practiced ‘I Got Rhythm’ in
all 12 keys and recorded these progressions on 28 separate occasions!
Includes written melody and solo
sections. Special sections contain
uniquely designed slow recorded
tracks to help you fully understand
the harmonies. Includes step-bystep instructions and examples of
common “rhythm” techniques and
practice, including the use of Blues,
Diminished, Pentatonic, and other
scales, and playing the “changes.”
This set has everything you need
to get a true performance-quality
understanding of “I Got Rhythm
Changes!”
“For 40 years the Aebersold play-a-longs have been an
indispensable aid to my personal study, as well as for my
private students and in teaching university courses in
improvisation. There are others who have produced
play-a-longs, but Aebersold is the unchallenged

MINOR BLUES IN ALL KEYS
All Levels. Here we have a typical minor blues in all 12 keys. Few chord
progressions offer the freedom and
variety of expression found in the
minor blues progression. Great players have all approached this chord
progression in a variety of ways.
Often, they attack each chord vertically in its pure form or play horizontally “across” the progression, usually with a blues or minor pentatonic
scale. Some take all or part of the
changes harmonically “out.”

attempt is to play tunes in all twelve
keys. Where do you begin? How can
you hear changes in those “odd”
keys? Now anyone can do it with this
fantastic set of 7 songs! The rhythm
section inspires you, and is rock solid.
The first chorus for each tune is in
the standard (original) key, followed
by choruses in the 11 other keys.
Advanced. If you’re ready for further
challenges, try these slightly more
difficult tunes in all 12 keys. Each
tune begins with one chorus in the
original key, and then moves through
the other 11 keys at moderate tempos. This challenging set is for anyone
ready to put themselves “through

HOW TO LEARN TUNES
Intermediate/Advanced. Until now,
the task of memorizing tunes has
required a great amount of time
and has been left to chance by the
musician. With no rules, guidelines,
or systematic methods of study, the
task has left musicians with a great
deal of confusion and frustration.
This incredible work is a quick and
easy method for learning and memorizing melodies and chord changes
to any tune in any key! Listening/
learning/play along tracks take you
through the most commonly used
harmonic formulae and teach you
how to recognize and remember
forms both visually and aurally. The
book and supplement give composition that will have you memorizing
and UNDERSTANDING how changes
work. Leave the fakebooks at home!

those looking for a fresh perspective.
David has substituted his unique harmonies and grooves (odd meter, fusion, waltz, etc.) to create something
really special.
Intermediate/Advanced. The Dominant Seventh is possibly the most
substituted, colored, and altered
sound in modern music. Its flexibility

What do you play when you have one
chord for 8 or 16 bars? The Modal
Jazz era presented new challenges for
improvisors, spawing a fruitful period
rich in new concepts and harmonic
exploration. This in-depth study starts
with the basics and progresses systematically to more advanced techniques. Special workout tracks work
equally well for novice or pro.

GOOD TIME!
PLAY IN THE GROOVE WITH
THE PROS
For all instrumentalists wishing to
work on their time and sharpen their
harmonic awareness. The best way
to develop a sense of “good time”
and “playing in the groove” is to play
with the best musicians available,
and they come no better than drummer Adam Nussbaum and bassist Jay
Anderson. This 4-CD set includes 15
play along tracks of various tempos
and styles, all based on the changes
to well-known standards. Each CD
has a different mix:
CD #1 is a split track with bass on
one channel and drums on the other.
CD #2 is Bass only on both channels.
CD #3 is Drums only on both
channels.
CD #4 is Piano on both channels,
bass on the left, drums on the right.
Bassists will love playing with the
drum-only CD; drummers will love
playing with the bass-only CD; Pianists will enjoy soloing and comping with any of the first three mixes;
and horn players will enjoy playing
with any of the 4 CDs. Gerry Mulligan, Sonny Rollins, and others led
pianoless groups for a different,
harmonically freer sound. Everyone
will gain better ears and harmonic
awareness by not being able to rely
on the piano. You can use these CDs
for jam sessions with various instrumentation. Book contains melodies
and chord changes transposed for all
instruments. The most versatile playa-long available!
“Jamey’s play-a-longs are fabulous. When I was a high school student
growing up in a small town far away from any professional jazz artists
to play with, Nothin’ But Blues and the first Charlie Parker volume
gave me a foundation that has been invaluable. The next best thing to
playing live with the best musicians on the planet. Thanks, Jamey!”
— Harry Pickens, Pianist & Motivational Speaker

BLUES
The Blues is the
“essence” or “soul” of
jazz and other American
popular music forms.
Gigging players realize
that familiarity with The
Blues and its various
forms is essential to crossing over from one musical
style to the next - a “root
language”, so to speak.
These Play-A-Longs offer
unique “at home” opportunities for the improvising musician to become
fluent in this musical
language. Choose from
the wide range of Blues
varieties found in Volume
2, “Nothin But Blues”,
and Volume 88 “Millennium Blues”, or the tough
transitional challenges
presented in Volume 42,
“Blues In All Keys.”

All Levels. A great way to expand your
blues playing in every key! Try playing some of the tougher keys without looking at the music and see just
how fast your ear takes over. You’ll
find yourself gaining confidence very
quickly and greatly improving your
soloing. Charlie Parker learned the
Blues in all 12 keys before he learned
anything else. Transposed for all instruments. Each key contains a different blues melody and two compatible chord/scale progressions.

42” and “Lennie Niehaus Plays The
Blues”
All Levels. Here we have a typical
minor blues in all 12 keys. Few chord
progressions offer the freedom and
variety of expression found in the
minor blues progression. Great players have all approached this chord
progression in a variety of ways.
Often, they attack each chord vertically in its pure form or play horizontally “across” the progression, usually with a blues or minor pentatonic
scale. Some take all or part of the
changes harmonically “out.”

“I’ve been using Jamey’s
records for my own practicing
for 30 years, and have been
using them with students for
20. For me they provide an
important transitional step
– first I learn to play a new
piece of vacabulary then I use
“Aebersold Records” to
experiment with putting it to
use in my improvising.
I wouldn’t want to teach
without them.”

BEBOP
In the 1940s, a young generation of musicians created an all-new adventurous new style, BeBop,
that would influence all jazz that came after. Faster tempos, energetic lines, and sophisticated
harmonies were the key contributions, but “Bop” also remained true to the essence of the swing
and blues that preceded it. These Play-A-Longs offer improvising musicians the chance to learn
the Bop repertoire while being accompanied by legendary musicians like Kenny Barron and Ron
Carter. This is the best of Bop - as real as it gets!

LATIN
Jazz musicians have experimented with Latin music styles since the early part of the 20th Century, but
it really began permeating the popular musical language in the 1940s when Boppers such as Dizzy Gillespie
began sharing the stage with Latin bands and adding Latin elements to their own music. In the late 1950’s, Stan Getz
forever linked jazz and latin music with his famous Bossa Nova recordings. Every gigging musician knows that you can’t get
through a set without at least a couple of Latin numbers! Here, you can enjoy a wide variety of Latin styles, including the
laid-back Bossas of Vol. 98, “Antonio Carlos Jobim”; the slightly more energetic jazz-influenced Vol. 31, “Bossa Novas”;
the hi-energy Vol. 96, “Latin Quarter”; and the modern electronic Volume 124, “Brazilian Jazz.”

FUSION
FUSION
As its name implies,
“Fusion” is the fusing
together of at least two
styles of music. In the case
of jazz, it usually means
fusing with latin and/or rock,
and nearly always employs
the use of electronic
instruments. Like other
styles, it has its high energy
components and its more
soothing components (often
called “Smooth” jazz.) Here,
we present the music of
some of the genre’s leading
artists, including Volume
83, “The Brecker Brothers”,
and Volume 103, “David
Sanborn.”

VOCAL
While most of the
“Standard” Play-A-Longs
previously listed do
include written lyrics, they
are recorded in traditional
“horn” keys and are not
always compatible with
the range of most female
singers (although most work
nicely with typical male
ranges.) Therefore, we have
included in our catalog three
outstanding Sing-A-Longs,
carefully recorded with the
jazz singer in mind. Here
you will find a wealth of
great standards every singer
should know.

EMBRACEABLE YOU –
BALLADS FOR ALL SINGERS
Intermediate/Advanced. 2 CDs and
book. Pianist Steve Allee creates an
intimate setting with singer-sensitive
solo piano accompaniment for 12 of
the greatest ballads ever written. Each
song is recorded in 2 keys - one for
lower voices and one for higher voices
- ensuring all singers, men and women,
can find the best key for their voice!
Selected songs are presented in two
tempos (ballad and medium tempo)
on separate tracks, adding excitement
and variety to these time honored classics. Melody, lyrics, and chord changes
are clearly presented in the book and
the pianist on the CD provides singerfriendly intros and voice leading, making it easier to find the melody. Note:
The book contains C parts only - no
transposed parts for Bb, Eb, or bass clef
instruments, but horn players will love
playing and practicing in singer’s keys.

“If a musician doesn’t learn
to improvise from playing
along with the
accompaniment of the
rhythm sections on these
recordings, they’ll never
learn to improvise.”
— Eddie “Electrifying” Harris
Stop Pretending and start Playing!
Digitally generated play along tracks have their practical uses, but they’ll never match the soul, touch, and groove of the jazz
masters. Are you really playing, or just pretending? The world famous Jamey Aebersold Play-A-Longs offer you the unique chance
to perform with jazz Legends. Each track is the essence of jazz. When you play with Ron Carter, Kenny Barron, or Dave Brubeck,
there’s no pretense about it; you KNOW it’s as authentic as it gets! With practice time so short and precious, why not play with
the BEST? We have the BEST Jazz Play-A-Longs! Here’s Why:
• Jamey Aebersold Play-A-Longs are the world-wide staple in major
University Music Departments and required materials in many
placement auditions
• Legendary Rhythm Sections featuring Ron Carter, Kenny Barron,
Cedar Walton, & Dave Brubeck
• Longer tracks with more choruses so you have the most time to hone your skills
• No “demo” melody instruments occupying valuable practice space
• Greater value per track with our 2-CD volumes
• Accompanying book with transposed parts for ALL instruments
• Correct jazz chord changes with substitutions where applicable
• Books are frequently revised and updated
• Special Stereo Separation: Any stereo with a balance control can
remove the bassist or drummer for maximum flexibility
• New Volumes added regularly
• Introduction and Discography included in each volume.

goals along the way.

immediate help in developing
convincing lines ... the author

working with Jamey’s Play-ALongs.”

I’ve ever seen. I really enjoy the
sample solos.”

course. All this in one book and
2-CDs ... fantastic!”
“GREAT book. This is the first
that is really helping me play
through tunes -- I never really
‘got it’ until this book.”

between playing scales, chords and licks to playing meaningful jazz
solos. Specifically designed to refine and build upon the knowledge
you already have and to improve your understanding and skills as a
soloist. Over 400 pages!

n CONNECTING CHORDS
WITH LINEAR HARMONY
by Bert Ligon
CCLH $35.00
One of the goals of teaching jazz improv is to have
the students play rhythmically coherent and harmonically specific lines, but since most students come to

needed which points out the linear-horizontal connections inherent in the bulk of jazz material, especially
the solo/improv work of the greats. This is a highly
recommended book.

“see” as well as ”hear” how
the solos are constructed. All aspiring jazz players find themselves at a point in their development
where they are ready to go from playing “right
notes” to actually playing meaningful solos. Making
this transition can be as frustrating as it is essential. INTERMEDIATE JAZZ IMPROVISATION is for
everyone wishing to bridge the gap between playing
scales, chords, and licks to playing realistic, flowing
jazz lines! It’s specifically designed to build upon the
knowledge you already have and to improve your
understanding and skills as a soloist. The 2 Playa-long CDs include selected tracks from Aebersold
play-a-longs coordinated with exercises and solo
examples played on a separate channel and notated
in the book. All parts in the book are transposed for
all instruments. Useful for both private and classroom
settings. Over 400 pages!

176 pages! What would you
play when you see the chord

Jazz Scales and Patterns in All 12 Keys
by Joe Riposo BEBOP $7.95

Bebop scales almost magically turn scales into jazz
lines, adding melodic flow

hitting those "target notes"
much easier and facilitates
the seamless connection of
one chord to another. The
one added note makes all the difference! Joe's
simple practice method will have you hearing, using,
and understanding Bebop scales very quickly. Here,

for Major, Minor, Dominant 7th, and Locrian (Halfdiminished) scales. Handy 6 x 9 size. Choose from

EFFORTLESS
MASTERY
“If you’ve played for 30 years
and hardly ever enjoyed it, if
you’ve constantly pointed to
other players and thought they
possessed something you didn’t,
or if you’ve practiced for years
and never really improved, read
on.”
by KENNY WERNER
“The world is made up of two
kinds of people: The ones who
play the right stuff and the ones
who are looking for the right
stuff.”
“You will find yourself far more
free and powerful if you assume
that all the notes you play
are the most beautiful sounds
you’ve ever heard.”
“Mastery is playing whatever
you’re capable of playing ...
every time ... without thinking.”
“Mastery is available to
everyone.”
This best-selling book has helped thousands of musicians to
overcome apprehension, self-doubt, and other hinderances
to natural, joyful performance. Kenny Werner puts you on
a course to effortless mastery, where playing music is a
simple as drawing a breath. Includes a CD designed to initiate
positive thought.
Also available is a DVD of Kenny explaining his ideas and
concepts before a packed house in New York City. Through
his highly acclaimed and proven techniques, one can remove
the technical and psychological barriers to creativity that
afflict us all and liberate the master musician within.
“As fear pollutes the
environment for creativity, it
also inhibits effective study. The
mind play havoc and the ego
has a picnic. You want to be a
great jazz player, for example,
and your mind tells you it must
be done by a certain age. If
you’re 18, it must be done by
21. When that doesn’t happen,
you give it until 25. By 25, it’s
30 ... and so on. If you’re 35 or
older, you feel ‘the parade has
passed you by.’”

“I began using Jamey’s Play-A-Longs with students while living in NYC in the late 70’s. I
continued using them exclusively with students after moving to Germany in 1980, while
teaching in Universities, private jazz schools and my own saxophone workshops.
There are other play-a-longs on the market today, but Jamey’s are still the best
and offer the most choices.”

“I have used Jamey’s play-a-long sets
since 1980 at Case Western Reserve
University to teach improvisation and for
personal practice. Almost 30 years later, I
still use them regularly for personal
practice, teaching, and clinics. In
addition, the bass, piano and drum
transcription books should be an essential
part of a jazz educator’s arsenal. As I work
with students who have LESS knowledge of
this great music, these materials give them
MORE accurate information than was
even imaginable when I was their age.”

n THE FOUR-FRET CONCEPT
by Robert Riegler TFFC $21.95
BK/CD. 99 different ways of improvising over the fundamental jazz progression II-V-I. To learn to solo and
improvise as easily and headache-free as possible is
the basic idea of this bass book. It is meant to give
the beginning and advanced electric bassist access
to jazz improvisation in the smoothest possible way.
Certain prerequisite skills are assumed: basically, this
book addresses electric bassists who can accompany
the odd standard (and thus are acquainted with the
jazz idiom in at least a vague fashion) but cringe at
the prospect of having to solo (not to mention symptoms such as cardiac arrhythmia, circulatory insufficiency and profuse sweating). The basic harmonic
structure of the present exercises is supplied by the
ubiquitous II-V-I progression, a pattern found in many
jazz standards, which shall consequently lie at the
core of our improvisational attention. The “Four Fret
System” fingering technique, whose strength lies in
the visual recognisability of its patterns, is explained
and showcased in 99 of my favorite licks (or “lines”).
Kurt Erlmoser analyzes the structural level of the
improvisations and provides an in-depth understanding of the process. The exercises are meant to cater
to the theoretical and technical skills of the student;
however, the actual goal should be absorbing the information and generating lines of your own.
n MELODIC PLAYING IN

n THE MICHAEL MOORE
BASS METHODMMBM $21.95
A first of its kind approach to the learning of double bass, incorporating traditional classical studies
with practical jazz and popular music applications.
Michael Moore, who has been at the top of the
jazz bass scene since his arrival in New York in the
1960s, and pioneer of jazz education Clem DeRosa,
combine to produce an easy to follow method
designed for individual or classroom application.

Play in the Groove with the Pros!
Book/ 4 CDs $19.95
The best way to
develop a sense of
“good time” and “playing in the groove” is
to play with the best
musicians
available, and they come
no better than drummer Adam Nussbaum
and
bassist
Jay
Anderson. This 4-CD
set includes 15 play along tracks of
various tempos and styles, all based on the
changes to well-known standards. Each CD has
a different mix:
CD #1 is a split track with bass on one channel
and drums on the other.
CD #2 is Bass only on both channels.
CD #3 is Drums only on both channels.
CD #4 is Piano on both channels, bass on the
left, drums on the right.
Drummers will love playing with the bass-only
CD. Gerry Mulligan, Sonny Rollins, and others led

Charlie “Bird” Parker practiced
11 to 15 hours a day for 3 to 4 years.
“In 1983 I invited Jamey Aebersold and David Baker to present a 3-day seminar,
“Techniques for Improvisation” at Goldsmiths College, London, UK.
About 50 musicians attended and I immediately saw how much they benefited from
using the Aebersold play-a-longs to build their improv skills. I particularly recall a student
at the closing session who said that she had learnt more in those three days than in the
previous three years at a certain London music college. The following year
I started my business, Jazzwise Publications, which recently celebrated 25 years
of distributing Aebersold Play-A-Longs in the UK.”

Tons of comments by the very best in

The most typical one:
“As a virtuoso hard bop trumpeter,
Ponomarev creates beautiful, expressive
solos that crackle with visceral, right-tothe-point, memorable musical narratives.
Recounting his own fascinating life,
Ponomarev is also a riveting
storyteller. His words ring with candor and
direct, unaffected emotion. Packed with
enough dramatic juice to fuel a Hollywood
biopic, the Russian émigré’s autobiography is an invaluable contribution to jazz
literature. - and a good read as a winning

That distinctive, iconic ‘count-off’ has introduced thousands of
musicians to the world of jazz improvisation. Jamey’s familiar
voice is a reassuring reminder that the rhythm section is tight,
the changes are right, and the experience will be outta sight! You
can’t go wrong with the legendary rhythm sections on Jamey’s
Play-A-Longs; for a jazz experience as real as it gets!
“I’ve found the best way to improve your musical skills is to be
prepared. My Play-A-Long book and CD sets provide everything
you need to learn jazz the correct way. From a basic foundation
to all the great jazz standards. I’ve dedicated my life to helping
you enjoy making ‘your own music.’”
