NARCISIO YEPES , THE FINEST PIECES FROM HIS REPERTOIRE.  

Come compositore Yepes è l'autore del famoso pezzo "giochi proibiti". Lo compose per la madre quando era giovanissimo, aveva sette anni. E fu inserito nella colonna sonora del film Jeux interdits del 1952 diretto da René Clement, vincitore del Leone d'oro come miglior film alla 17a mostra del cinema di Venezia. E' ancora un mistero perché Yepes non si attribuì l'autorità di questo brano malinconico e sdolcinato, e inizialmente disse di averlo trovato. Sembra un poco come nel romazo "il nome della Rosa" del 1980 o nel "Baudolino" del 2000 di Umberto Eco, dove la storia inizia con la lettura di un manoscritto antico (che chiaramente è stato scritto dallo stesso Eco) ritrovato tra scartoffie impolverate in un vecchio baule ammuffito all'nterno di una cantina tra i ruderi di un castello abbandonato. 

Yepes suona a volte velocemente una scala cromatica solo con un dito e solo su una corda, per tutta la tastiera, potrebbe sembrare facile, ma non è così, quando si è abituati a suonare con 4 dita, bisogna fare attenzione a sincronizzare lo spostamento del dito, lo si vede anche nel filmato "Passepied di Salvador Bacarisse" a 25 secondi.

Der spanische Gitarrist Narciso Yepes (1927-1997) war einer der groBen Meister seines

Instruments. Sein Studium am Konservatorium in Valencia begann er bereits im Alter von 12

Jahren und war SchOlervon Vicente Asensio, der in diesem Band mit der Komposition Collectici

intirn vertreten ist. Ahnlich wie Manuel de Falla hatte auch Yepes eine starke Verbindung

zum Flamenco. Seinen Durchbruch hatte Narciso Yepes 1947 mit der Auffuhrung von Joaquin

Rodrigos Concierto de Aranjuez, das er 1955 auch auf Schallplatte einspielte.

Kompositorisch erlangte Yepes mit seiner Filmmusik fOr den Film Jeux interdits (Rene Clement,

1952) internationale Anerkennung.

Mit zahlreichen Transkriptionen erweiterte Yepes das Repertoire der akustischen Gitarre.

Um flexibler zu transkribieren, lie~ er sich 1964 eine zehnsaitige Gitarre bauen.

Der vorliegende Sammelband enthiilt die sch6nsten StUcke aus dem Repertoire des brillanten

Virtuosen Narciso Yepes, der neben Andres Segovia und Emilio Pujol zu den gr6~ten Gitarristen

Spaniens ziihlte.

The spanish guitarist Narciso Yepes (1927-1997) was one of the great masters of his instrument.

Already at the age of twelve he began studying at University of Valencia and there he was

a pupil of Vicente Asencio, who is presented in this volume with his composition Collectici

intirn. Like Manuel de Falla, Yepes was also closely connected with the Flamenco.

In 1947 Narciso Yepes had his breakthrough with the performance of Joaquin Rodrigo's

Concierto de Aranjuez which he recorded in 1955. As a composer Yepes achieved international

prestige with his score to the film Jeux interdits (Forbidden Games) (1952) directed by Rene

Clement.

Yepes enlarged (enriched) the repertoire of the acoustic guitar with numerous transcriptions.

For being more flexible, he created the ten string guitar in 1964.

The present volume contains the finest pieces from the repertoire of the brilliant musician

Narciso Yepes, who ranked among Andres Segovia and Emilio Pujol to the greatest guitarist

of Spain.

con el flamenco. En 1947, Narciso Yepes dio un impulso decisivo a su carrera con la interpretacion

del Concierto de Aranjuez, de Joaquin Rodrigo, que grabo en 1955. Como compositor,

Yepes alcanzo la fama internacional con su partitura para la pelfcula Jeux interdits (Juegos

prohibidos) (1952) dirigida por Rene Clement.

Playing Guitar in Jazz Band is for beginning to intermediate guitarists who are interested in playing in a jazz big band. Playing this style of guitar can be challenging, as the chord changes are often complex, yet the guitar parts should remain simple enough to avoid detracting from the overall sound of the band. This book breaks down that process by substituting difficult chord shapes with more flexible voicings that are designed to sound good on the guitar. Learn a wide variety of rhythmic patterns and work with authentic chord charts that are exactly like the ones you will encounter in real-life situations. This is the perfect crash course for students who have just joined their first jazz band and the ideal companion for music teachers who want to better understand the role of the guitar in their ensemble. A CD demonstrating the examples in the book is included. 

Introduction

So, you've joined a jazz band (sometimes called a big band, stage band, or jazz ensemble). Even if you've been a guitar player for a while, you're probably finding some of this music quite different from anything you've played before-a lot of chords going by kind of quickly-right? That's because the sound of big band jazz comes from the cool harmonies generated by the horn sections. Even when the individual horn parts are quite simple, the combined harmonies can be quite complex, making the guitar and piano parts a bit of a challenge. This book is designed as a practical guide for playing in a jazz band. The emphasis is on shortcuts that work in the real world, not complicated theory. You'll learn how to simplify complicated chord charts to suit your current level of ability and chord knowledge. To get the most out of this book, it will be helpful (but not absolutely necessary) to be able to read standard music notation. You need to know basic skills such as tuning the guitar, fretting notes and chords with your left hand, and picking and strumming with your right hand. There are two parts to this book. Part 1 will try to make your life a little easier by presenting some chord voicings and shortcuts to help you get through the musical charts. Part 2 shows you how to add to the basics as you get more comfortable with the pieces you are playing. You may find that these voicings and shortcuts sound better with the band than the fuller voicings you might use in a smaller group. The chord voicings used in this book, particularly in Part 1, are based on the technique used by legendary guitarist Freddie Green of the Count Basie Orchestra. Some band directors encourage guitarists to play chord voicings in a higher register and stay away from the bass. While this is certainly a valid approach-and one that is very effective in small jazz groups-it puts you in'the range of the horns and piano. This makes it necessary to play the extensions and alterations in the chord, as well as eliminate the root of the chord or place it on middle strings. For the novice player, the method in this book will be a lot easier to grasp, since the root will generally be on the bass strings and easier to find, and the shortcuts will enable the player to keep up with the band. Unlike playing in a rock, folk, or country band, the role of the guitar in a big band is primarily to work with the drummer to set up a solid groove, rather than establish the harmonies (which are being played by horns and piano). For example, instead of letting the chords ring, we damp them between the strokes for a more percussive effect (see Chapter 7 for more details). This book deals with the rhythm guitar aspect of stage band playing, or chording, which is mostly what you will be doing. To learn the lead guitar aspect of jazz, refer to a book such asTom Dempsey's Easy Soloing for Jazz Guitar (Alfred/National Guitar Workshop #28246).

How to Use This Book

I suggest you go through Part 1, learning the material in each chapter. If you spend 15 minutes a day, you should be pretty competent in two or three weeks. Then, have a look through Part 2 so you know what's there, but don't try to learn all the chord voicings at once. Gradually, add a few voicings at a time as you encounter them in the pieces you are playing with the band.
