Singing With Solos: Lennie Tristano's Fundamental Practice for the Art of Improvising

Singing with Solos is an e-book guide to Lennie Tristano's fundamental practice for the art of improvising. The book contains a detailed description and analysis of singing with solos, the practice – a practice developed by jazz pianist/teacher Lennie Tristano to help his students hear more deeply into music and to express what they heard through their voice. The purpose of singing with solos is to stimulate and develop the student’s own innate creativity. Tristano considered singing with solos to be a fundamental practice for all his students -- instrumentalists, drummers, vocalists. The book takes us step-by-step through the practice of singing with solos and then describes how that practice can be applied to our instrument and our improvising. The final section includes quotes by several of Tristano’s former students, describing their experience of singing with solos.
