Vol. 2, Nothin' But Blues: Jazz And Rock (Book & CD Set) Review

The blues changes are the most important changes in jazz. So the aspiring jazz musician may look at this album, see that it is "Volume 2" and contains "nothin but blues", and logically assume that it is a good teaching tool to learn how to play the blues. Unfortunately, that is a mistake.

I don't know what Aebersold was thinking way back when this album was made, but it is simply too advanced to learn the blues from. Although there are a few 12-bar blues tracks here, most are variations on the basic form. We have our rock tracks and our 6/4 tracks and 16-bar blues and Charlie Parker's "Blues for Alice" changes. All of these are necessary for the jazz musician's development, but not for the beginning student. I came away from this album thinking these are blues from circa 1960 Blue Note recordings, so it was funny to read the same comment from the previous reviewer.

If you want to learn how to play the blues in jazz, purchase Aebersold's Volume 42 instead. Give this one a pass for a couple years. And by that time you probably will be skilled enough to skip it completely anyway.
