Subject: 3 must have cds from Kevin's

Sittin’ In With The Greats is a seriously fun learning tool that offers
a unique opportunity
to play an instrument or sing with the artists who helped create Chicago

blues and who
remain pillars of the music in the Windy City and around the world. With

19 instrumental
and vocal tracks to develop your vocal, accompaniment and soloing
skills, Sittin’ In With
The Greats uses a strictly aural instructional approach, emphasizing the

concept that the
best way to understand and get the feel of the blues is to hear it from
the practitioners of
the music and play it with them until it becomes natural.

Sittin’ In With The Greats provides both the chance to hear the “real
thing” and the
opportunity to practice and perform with the finest musicians of the
genre. These artists
include some of the greatest veteran blues singers in Chicago as well as

the most sought
after rhythm players on the scene. These players have also backed such
Chicago blues
stars as, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Otis Rush, Albert
Collins, Koko Taylor,
James Cotton and many, many others.

The material on the CD ranges from the traditional Chicago blues of the
1950s’ post-war
period to its modern present-day style. All of the major grooves that
define Chicago blues
are represented from the traditional shuffles, slow blues and mojo beats

to Chicago funk
styles.

The CD was created for all musicians regardless of personal experience,
style, or choice of
instrument. All but two of the tracks have both vocal and instrumental
versions allowing
one to practice the art of accompaniment as well as having a straight
rhythm track over
which to improvise and practice solos. The CD was produced so that
guitar players wanting
to practice rhythm chops can eliminate guitar tracks by turning the
“balance” completely
to the right; piano and organ players wanting only guitar for rhythm
practice, turn it
completely to the left. All others, including vocalists singing over the

rhythm track can take
advantage of the full band. Lyrics are provided to all songs.

Sittin’ In With The Greats other function is to turn a great rhythm
section into a learning
tool by using it as an example of how blues rhythm chops should be
played. The rhythm
section reinforces the notion that blues musicians will be playing far
more rhythm than
solos. In other words, the rhythm section reminds musicians that their
primary responsibility
is to make a band sound as together and tight as possible. $19.95 plus
shipping
