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."

Note: Because of the 70 minute audio space limitation on the book's CD, we were limited to running the full exercises of the Major and Minor 'ii V7 I' patterns to only the first of the set of four; each subsequent one was excerpted. As a bonus we are offering full accompaniment tracks on all eight of these (without mandolin), as well as the Turnarounds accompaniment tracks here in an MP3 format.

The book contains five original tunes to introduce specific pedagogical concepts, including modal improvising, advanced blues, and shifting tonal centers. In preparing the accompanying audio CD, we thought in addition to the demo tracks of the exercises and the song jam tracks, it would be helpful to hear an "end product," complete performances of these in a "real life" context. No one better to do this than Don Stiernberg, personal mentor and consummate jazz mandolin professional. Three of the following are from the instructional CD, with the two additional "bonus tracks" we had to leave off because of space limitations. Enjoy!

The following is a work in progress; we've enlisted the contributions of some of the world's best mandolinists in presenting their interpretations of the five song tracks. As these (and others) are submitted, we'll post them. Keep checking back with us!
