Hi, I hope this is on topic enough to be posted on this forum. Mods, my apologies if it is not.
My girlfriend is a music performance (clarinet) major in college and I am trying to find a good gift for her that is music or clarinet related. I will spend up to around $200. She is a pretty good player and can play most of the major concertos decently. She admires Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman, but has never received training in jazz. Myself being a drummer (please don't ban me
), I would like her to get a start playing and enjoying jazz. Would any of you recommend any books that would serve as a good introduction to jazz that are suitable for an experienced player? This would be addressing stuff like improvisation, style, technique, stuff like that.
Also, if there are any cool accessories or DVDs or hot items right now in the clarinet world, please point them out. THANKS!!
