Bb, Eb, C & BC Editions Enable All Soloists to Capture His "Cool"
MILWAUKEE - The latest jazz title from Hal Leonard lets instrumentalists play and study transcriptions from one of the most influential musicians of all time. All four editions of the Miles Davis Omnibook will be available at NAMM.
Miles Davis epitomized "cool." This trumpeter and composer was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and won numerous GRAMMYs, including for Lifetime Achievement. With his bands, he had his hand in the development of bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz and fusion; he's quoted as saying "I'll play it first and tell you what it is later."
With an eye-catching cover, sturdy comb binding and informative preface, the Miles Davis Omnibook follows in the footsteps of the popular Charlie Parker and John Coltrane Omnibooks available from Hal Leonard. It offers note-for-note transcriptions of his solos and heads from 50 quintessential songs. His originals and his famous takes on standards are included, with some solos appearing in print for the first time ever.
