First off, I have to correct funkybass4ever "baynzer66" 's review as he/she has commented that all transcriptions are in the key of C. This is incorrect and misleading. However all transcriptions are devoid of key signatures which is very useful in jazz, especially in bebop due to the rapid movement through key centers and the heavy use of chromaticism.Now to the book itself. I view the omni book as one of the most valuable books of transcriptions out there, even if there are a few mistakes in it. It's one of those books that anyone learning the language of jazz needs to at least look at. It's nice to see that it's in bass clef (as I play bass); my treble clef version (I also play guitar) is well hammered and much loved.If you are a bass player (or anyone else for that matter with good taste) and want to see/hear a bass player using Parker's vocabulary check out Dario Deidda, start at youtube. (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say that!)
This book is practically overflowing with information. Brilliant and essential for anyone interested in jazz, it shows you how one bebop's masters eased chromatically through thick harmony with grace and ease.
This book really helps you appreciate what a master of jazz Charlie Parker really was. Seeing all of these solos with the chord changes right above sometimes makes you wonder "How did he think to do that?"I like using this book for sight reading practice and a little bit of analysis afterwards. I read through the solos veeeery slowly (did I mention he's ridiculous?) and then look over the parts that I thought sounded pretty cool to see what he was doing. If you're a trombone player don't be intimidated that he had buttons to press very rapidly, just buy the book and play some great jazz, even if you're playing at 1/3 the tempo.I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in improvising or just reading jazz. Especially trombone players.
Arrived as advertised. Great condition. Would recommend to anyone without reservation. Great opportunity to study jazz patterns in the context of Bird's brilliant solos.
A must-have for the jazz student, and a great resource for exploring the bebop vocabulary. Accurate, thorough, and clearly notated.
It's a must have... PERIOD. If you read bass clef you have to add this to your library.
