"This is uniquely the most thorough book of its kind!"
Based on over 20 years of
performing and teaching experience, Keith Hall has compiled a complete jazz
drum method that takes the developing drummer from simple patterns and musical
phrases to playing with a rhythm section. Finding ways to integrate new ideas
into musical situations can be tricky but Jazz Drums Now! eliminates the confusion
and guides the student in a practical and fun way.
The Total Play-Along System immediately
gives the student the experience of playing with a pro rhythm section. Tempos
range from 80-340 bpm and each exercise has appropriate play-along tracks that
can be customized based on the student’s ability and comfort level. With The Total Play-Along System you will be
playing Jazz
Drums…Now!
$24.95 including an MP3 CD featuring the Total Play-Along System!
The Good Feeling is in! Invisible Horizon, the second
CD from Bennett Paster, Gregory Ryan and Keith Hall
emphatically proves it. Recorded in May 2006, this new
release showcases the continuing development of one
of New York City's most original piano trios.
Renowned tenor saxophonist Chris Cheek contributes
his unique lyricism to three tracks.
TRI-FI
with Matthew Fries, Phil Palombi, and Keith Hall
and a special guest appearance by Curtis Stigers CAP Records - 2005
"Let the sidemen have their
say. These rising players have collectively amassed an impressive list
of credits behind jazz notables. But one thing is clear: They've
definitely found their musical soul mates in each other. On their own
indie release, pianist Paster, bassist Ryan and drummer Keith Hall
radiate warmth, vitality, robust melodicism, and an effortless swing.
All three contribute strong writing, and Paster's ballad, "If I Said
Goodbye," is a gem. With a nimble, grooving, 'melodic' touch, Hall
knows how to tell a story. Elegant."
