He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune, Cripple Creek, and wanted the trombone to take a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart, Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazz musicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds.This book approaches the five-string banjo as a musical instrument freed from the prison of specific musical genres. Old-time music, clawhammer, bluegrass and many eclectic adaptations of the banjo are utilized to demonstrate a variety of musical styles. A number of the selections are in different tunings. All examples are written out in traditional and tablature notation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mel Bay Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51898707083549,"sku":"MB20832BCD","price":64.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/MB20832BCD.jpg?v=1781997560","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/a-guide-to-non-jazz-improvisation-banjo-softcover-book-cd","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
