Martin Norgaard Getting Into Gypsy Jazz Violin with CD
Learn to improvise in the Gypsy Jazz violin style
even if you have never improvised before. The style is closely
associated with French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli, who played
with Gypsy jazz guitar player Django Reinhardt. Each lesson in the book
covers specific key aspects of the Gypsy jazz violin style. The
techniques are presented sequentially and the underlying music theory
is introduced on a need to know basis.
Getting Into Gypsy
Jazz Violin includes charts of classic swing tunes such as Avalon, The
Sheik of Araby & After You've Gone and includes a CD featuring
authentic accompaniment tracks and model violin performances. Because
the Gypsy jazz violin style maintains common elements of traditional

perfect vehicle for the classical violinist to learn to improvise
without having to change their general approach to the instrument.
Any intermediate or advanced violinist can learn to improvise in the
Gypsy jazz violin style.
