Book Reviews of Jazz Violin Glaser/grappelli
Book Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
The prior reviewers mention they're sorry they couldn't find recordings to match up to these transcriptions but I don't think having the recordings would make this book any more useful because Matt Glaser knows nothing about notation. I have several versions of Stephane playing "After You've Gone" for example and I can play each one note for note. But when I play Matt Glaser's notation of it, it doesn't resemble Stephane's style AT ALL. Clearly Matt did not grow up reading music and didn't spend time playing in orchestras because he knows nothing about practical notation which is much more than just putting notes down and drawing them into measures. For example he has the entire page in sixteenth and 32nd notes including those notes which would have been a wide vibrato or merely ornaments by Stephane. Because of this it just reads as a jumbled mess. On the page, Matt's notations bear little resemblance to Stephane and it is a shame they didn't have a better musician write them out. I feel this book is a huge waste of money and based on this book alone I have a considerably lower opinion of Matt than I otherwise would have. Either Matt is really that bad at notation or he did it to deliberately confuse the type of violinist who could actually read this stuff!
