With content ranging from theory and history to practical exercises, examples, études, and play-along tracks, this book offers the most comprehensive guide ever written for this esoteric and traditionally obscure scale. Simply put, it reveals the last big secret of jazz fusion’s avant-garde. According to which music theorist believes he first discovered it, this scale has been known variously as Messiaen’s mode 3, Slonimsky’s Tcherepnin Scale (honoring his colleague), and Tcherepnin’s own name for it— the 9-note augmented or nonatonic scale. The nine notes of the double-symmetrical augmented scale have fascinated and crucially influenced legendary musicians like John Coltrane, Allan Holdsworth, Mark Turner, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Nelson Veras, Tim Miller, Gary Thomas, and Jerry Bergonzi, among many others. Coltrane’s historic composition, “Giant Steps,” can be directly attributed to his familiarity with the nonatonic scale. With this book by Berklee College of Music honors graduate, Xabier Oró, you’ll know the secret too. Includes access to online audio.

Jazz superimpositions is not a conventional music method book. It rather gathers together various harmonic tools that can be used with superimposition, substitution and reharmonisation techniques. The main idea is to provide the reader with various devices in order to be able to superimpose/substitute them onto any original harmonic progression. It has been written for any musician but especially for guitarists, in both the English and French languages. The book includes the following sections: How to use the book The harmonic tools, organised by: Triads Shell voicings Arpeggios Pentatonics Bop scales Symmetrical scales (Messiaen Modes) Hexatonics (triad pairs) Some of N. Slonimsky's "thesaurus" patterns applied to superimposition. Each one of the harmonic tools in the above-mentioned list is described with: Standard notation A circle of fifth diagram Fingerings for guitar players A superimposition table The superimposition table is the core of the book. It provides quick access to the melodic scale, which is superimposed every half step from the root to the major seventh. The intervals created are given and the types of chords on which the superimposition can be played are suggested.
