Play-along book with Latin songs
De Haske Publications Moments of Latin is a music book with ten songs in Brazilian and Caribbean styles such as bossa nova, samba, calypso and merengue. The pieces are based on chord progressions from common real book repertoire, so you work with harmonies that are also familiar beyond this book.
Alongside the adventurous melodies, you get solo parts written to sound like real improvisations. Because chord symbols are included, you can first play the examples as written and then continue by improvising yourself.
Practical for lessons and self-study
Moments of Latin comes with a CD featuring live-recorded demo tracks and play-along recordings. It also includes the combo parts in PDF format, ready to print and use in practice sessions or ensemble work.
Written by Rik Elings, the book has 28 pages and comes in a 9 x 12 inch format. This multilingual edition includes English(UK), Deutsch, Français and Nederlands, which makes it convenient in teaching situations.
