We use Jazz Standards as vehicles for improvisation, and this series of four duet books (complete with chord changes) by Erik Veldkamp is the perfect tool for honing your craft. Musicians spanning all kinds of genres across the world all have one thing in common: they want to become better at their craft. They want to become better players within their genre, and they want to become more proficient on their instruments. The desire to become the best musicians we possibly can unites us.

Some duets are just for practice…but there are SHOWSTOPPERS. It is hard to describe how extremely creative and cool they are, so Erik recorded a few for you and I have attached the full recordings below. You can follow along with the samples to the left to get an idea of what you are in for. You are going to love them.
