Just re-published in 2019, with free mp3’s online, this classic book covers many styles and well-known players, with tunes, exercises, history, and photos. Tunes in the styles of Darol Anger, Svend Asmussen, Vassar Clements, Stéphane Grappelli, Mark O'Connor, Jean-Luc Ponty, Stuff Smith, Eddie South, Benny Thomasson, and Joe Venuti. The melodies are not direct transcriptions of the artists' playing, but rather original tunes and improvisations such as Lunar Dog, Timescape, and Mango Swing that Dave and Glenn (and other jazz violinists) have written in their styles. Many hours of careful listening have gone into identifying the characteristic approach, favorite licks and techniques, and overall interpretive framework of each violinist. Includes sections on scales, chords, progressions such as ii-V-I and ii-bII7-I, altered notes, turnarounds, improvising, bow techniques, and rhythm patterns.
