Jazzy Organ - Initiation au jazz à l'orgue

Most of popular musics, and particularly jazz, are very often neglected or indeed never played by classical organists. The practice of such musical styles is nevertheless formative for every music student by increasing the sense of rhythm and harmonic ear, the ability to improvise…

 This publication is first addressed to classical organists who are accustomed to the use of the pedalboard, to introduce them to the main jazz music styles and to motivate them to play these musical repertoires on the organ.

 This method contains elements of theory and sound samples recorded on a dedicated YouTube channel. It also includes nine different styled jazz compositions (blues, jazz waltz, African jazz, bossa nova, calypso, jazz-rock…), each of them displayed in two versions: the tune with harmonic numbering and tonal analysis, the composer’s organ arrangement.
