About the Author Tack Shneidman i «guitars, composer, and arranger who lives and works inthe New York Metropolitan aaa reat audied with Ron Carter, Mike Longo, and Rob Schwimmer, guitarists Gene Bertonci’ and Ken Wessell and Pulitzer Prize winning composer David del Tredici, Jack plays with a variety of jazz combos on the New York elub scene and around the world INTRODUCTION ‘The jazz lick is one of the most important tools of improvisation. In addition to a thorough knowledge of chords and scales, all the great jazz players have a large vocabulary of these short melodic phrases, which ‘they incorporate in their improvised solos. The jazz player uses licks the same way we use simple or ‘common phrases in speech. In shor, licks are basic musical statements an improviser calls upon to meet the musical demands of the moment, With this huge book in your hand, you might be asking yourself, "Where do I start?” Well, it's helpful to ‘notice that this book is divided into three main sections: Essential Licks, Siylistic Licks, and Licks over Standard-Type Progressions. Essential Licks (licks 1-560) is comprised of licks that are played over either a single chord, a standard harmonic progression, ora particular mode. All the licks aze writen in the key of C. tn the case of licks ‘that are based on modes, the key signature ofthe parent seale is given. For example, all C Dorian licks have the key signature of B> major, because C Dorian isthe mode built on the second scale degree of the BS major scale. C Lydian, to name another example, is bull on the fourth degree ofthe G major scale therefore it will bear the key signature of G major. ‘Sylistic Licks (licks 561-800) is based on the idiomatic traits of different era in jazz history, For example, the licks from the swing era resemble the work of master tenor saxophonists Lester Young, Coleman ‘Hawkins, as well as the great guitarist Charlie Christian, The lick from the bebop era are based on the styles of saxophonists Charlie Parker, Soany Stitt, and Sonny Rollins, the pianist Bud Powell, and trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Clifford Brown. Some of the players representative ofthe hard bop era include pianists Horace Silver and Bobby Timmons, tenor saxophonists Hank Mobley and Dexter Gordon, and trumpeters Kenny Dotham and Blue Mitchell. The licks in the post bop section pay homage to the harmonically advanced sounds of tenor saxophonists John Coltrane and Joe Henderson, pianists MeCoy ‘Tyner and Herbie Hancock, and trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw. All of the harmonic ‘progressions that are uilized in this section are standard progressions. The remainder of this section (non- harmonic, and fusion/funk licks) demonstrates some ofthe intervalic and harmonie concepts of today's _Breatest contemporary jazz musicians. These include saxophonists Dave Liebman, Michael Brecker, and Kenny Garrett, guitarist John Scofield, and pianist Chick Corea Licks over Standard-Type Progressions (licks 801-1001) is comprised of licks played over the opening four bars of twenty standard-type tunes, These phrases feature a wide variety of harmonic progressions, some different time signatures (8 and 4), and some material that has Brazilian or Afvo-Cuban flavor (New Bossa.” and “Night under Anesthesia.” respectively) All the licks inthis book have chord symbols above them given in their most basic form (only the root land the chord quality are named). Some of these licks are very advanced and include a liberal usage of cchromaticism, substitute scales and modes, implied passing chords, and entie cycles of substitute hharmonies. Don't let this intimidate you; the logic and expressive options they offer will become clearer With time and a little patent study, 4 1001 Jazz Licks A Complete Jazz Vocabulary for the Improvising Musician by Jack Shneidman ~ sci oi beh
