Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

November 30, 2006 | Christmas Gift Suggestions for the Mando bent...

Tis the season to be blatantly commercial and self-promotional, so we're going to be uncharacteristically self-serving and suggest a few goodies out of the JazzMando Merchandise Center for your mando and other musician friends...

The Circle of Fifths Polish Cloth is our most universal offering. What musician doesn't need a convenient routine in maintaining the finish (and resale value) of their instrument? Microfibre is baby-soft and gently pulls harmful oils and light grit off the wood, frets, and strings, virtually paying for itself in preventative maintenance and long-term instrument hygiene. Add to this the pedagogical benefit of a Circle of Fifths chart, conveniently draped over a music stand or case while practicing, and drilling ii V7 I's have never been so convenient.

Buy a bunch for students or the rest of the band, there's a bulk discount in packs of ten! (or just buy two and get the third free...)

Undeniably, we are Premium Flatwound String World Headquarters. Great pricing on Thomastik mandolin, and of course the exclusive source for the JazzMando JM11 mandolin and the new JD13 JazzDola Mandola strings. Give these to a friend for a chance to let him/her enjoy the comfort and warm sound of these strings personally.

Winter means cold and there's no better time to give the gift of warmth, a JazzMando Logo Aspen Polar Fleece Headband. We've still got a few left, but you better hurry; these were wildly popular last year, and when they're gone, they're gone. Great for skiing, jogging, scooping snow, or packing in the overcoat pocket for those times you just don't want to hassle with a hat.

Don't forget the JazzMando classic Old Djoe Clark T-shirt (long sleeve for winter!). Enjoy the scene of Bill Monroe and Django Rheinhardt trading fours in this cerebrally fictitious graphic. Whether friends get the joke or not doesn't matter. What matters is we get it...

If nothing else, a fistful of picks. Everyone likes to experiment and the JazzMando Proplec Pick with the extra gold hot stamp signature has been a perennial hit. Spread the love with a bag of good plectrum cheer. We'll even include a leather pick pouch/key fob-- a gift for yourself.

Remember, purchases made here help support the site, and bring you more information, tips, and tricks.

Seasons Greetings from the Elves in the JazzMando Research staff and shipping department!
