Publisher's Synopsis
"Legendary, Op. 44" is a collection of conga solos composed by best selling author Dr. Greg Jackson. This is the first book of solo literature ever published for the instrument. Each solo uses traditional music notation, as well as indications for which hand is recommended to play a certain drum. The different sounds are also thoroughly notated for each piece for those who are new to reading music. "Legendary" features 13 pieces for 2 to 5 congas and incorporates some traditional marchas, as well as newer forms such as timba. Each piece is designed for concert performance settings, or for the conguero in need of a solo during a song break. This book is also an excellent study tool for learning to design your own solos in a band type of setting. Level: Beginner to Professional
