Rich Willey's Boptism Music on Bandcamp

BeboppinFool

Boptism Music (that means me) may be among the last to find out about this amazing resource, but better late than never, right?

I am putting up several things that have been available for awhile up on Bandcamp. If you are a fan you can follow me there with what I'm doing:

https://richwilley.bandcamp.com/follow_me

I'm planning to draw attention to some of my releases that have been less well-circulated than others. I got this idea from my old friend John Swana who has an amazing Bandcamp page and I encourage you to go take a look at his. That guy is absolutely a genius!

Anyway, I hope you'll follow me on Bandcamp and that in so doing it will lead to other stuff you might be glad you happened upon by going to Bandcamp.

Thanks, everybody!

I've put the first of my somewhat overlooked resources up on Bandcamp, my Jazz Improv Speed Builders Play-Along Series Volume 1, "Standard" Blues by Rich Willey (w/play-along tracks).

This is a melodic and methodical approach for improving your uptempo improvisation, with over 17 hours of play-alongs to incrementally (and cleverly) trick and deceive you into improvising from slow to fast before you realize it. It’s very sneaky!

You can see (and hear) all 60 play-along tracks at Bandcamp, and if you do the digital purchase you also get the PDF of the book of blues heads for C treble, C bass clef, B-flat instruments and E-flat instruments so you actually have combo charts for all of these and can do them in a group setting.

More will be coming. These take a long time for me to organize and upload but I'm working on doing all five volumes, so please check back often.

We know you can get a lot of benefit from these, so please tell all your friends about them (or if you hate them, then tell your enemies instead).

Thanks so much! — Rich Willey, Boptism Music

I've now put the second of my somewhat overlooked resources up on Bandcamp, my Jazz Improv Speed Builders Play-Along Series Volume 2, "Bird" Blues by Rich Willey (w/play-along tracks).

This is a melodic and methodical approach for improving your uptempo improvisation (Volume 2 of five volumes), with over 17 hours of play-alongs to incrementally (and cleverly) trick and deceive you into improvising from slow to fast before you realize it. It’s very sneaky!

Hey, we have made an executive decision and have changed all our "album" prices to ZERO dollars!

People are welcome to pay more than that, but everything on our Bandcamp site is now yours for free if you're so inclined.

Tell all your friend and enemies! We may not do this for long, but time will tell.

Be sure to follow me on Bandcamp so you can see our latest releases as they are posted, which will be happening very often.

Thanks, everybody!

We've now put the THIRD of our somewhat overlooked resources up on Bandcamp, my Jazz Improv Speed Builders Play-Along Series Volume 3, Minor Blues by Rich Willey (w/play-along tracks).

As mentioned above, we are now offering these for ZERO dollars ($0.00) for the time being. You are free to pay zero or something else if you feel so moved.
