Charles Mingus - More Than A Play-Along



64 pages, Item number 1701617ED, $24.95

This unique collection has become a best seller worldwide. It chronicles Charles Mingus's amazing career as composer of over 300 works. Fifty-five of these pieces are presented here with detailed notes on each cut. Plus, you can play 14 of these fabulous songs along with the accompanying CDs. But, remember that this is "More Than a Play-Along"... therefore rare photos, anecdotes, historical commentary, and discography are also featured to make up a volume that musicians and fans will treasure. Included in this collection is a set of two CDs which feature both trio and quartet versions of fourteen classic Mingus compositions performed by Mingus Big Band members. This edition is suitable for any C instrument. This book is presented in fake book format.
 
A fake book contains the melody line along with lyrics and chord symbols. It is ideal for a pianist that wants to 'fake' the left hand part (a fake book does not contain the left hand piano part - it has only the melody), or for anyone that plays a C instrument such as flute, violin, harmonica, or recorder. The tracks do not include the melody, so its all about you during performance!
 
About the CDs: This set includes two CDs which features both trio and quartet versions of fourteen classic Mingus compositions, performed by Mingus Big Band members. The melody is not included, so you can play along! These are very high quality recordings that will make you feel like you have your own back-up band in the room with you!
