NEA Jazz Masters: Jamey Aebersold (2014)

Описание: "There is not a second that goes by that a person is not practicing with a Jamey Aebersold Play-A-Long record," Aebersold—recipient of the 2014 A.B. Spellman NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship for Jazz Advocacy—noted in a 2009 interview. These Play-A-Long recordings have made it possible for jazz players young and old to create an interactive jazz environment in a classroom, their living room, on a street corner, or in a subway station. With the production of his first Jazz "Play-A-Long" recording in 1967, a new form of jazz education began, one that allowed novice or professional students to practice improvisational skills alongside professionals and noted jazz musicians without a classroom or a teacher--one that made practicing fun. For close to 50 years, Aebersold has produced 133 volumes of jazz recordings and books, along with various supplemental items, carving out a new avenue for jazz education.
