Jazz Violin [B0092]

1981 PB, 11x8,5-inches, 144-pages. A comprehensive method for playing "hot fiddle," including accurate transcriptions of over 25 solos as played by Grappelli, Joe Venuti and others. Also includes original interviews and tips on improvising from the masters, a complete analysis of each solo, rare historical photos, and an informative discography.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I love this book! The interviews are insightful, and Matt Glaser's transcription of the jazz pieces are nothing short of amazing. I have to concur with the other reviewer who said that it would be very helpful to have recordings. I have managed to find a few of them on iTunes, but it's difficult since this book was published in 1981 and a lot of the recordings used are now out of print. This book feels like a great gift...unlocking a mystery. I love the motifs that he included as well...Stephane Grappelli's most used licks. That is SO helpful!"
