  • Analytic, Descriptive, and Prescriptive Components of Evolving Jazz: a New Model Based on the Works of Brad Mehldau
    Analytic, Descriptive, and Prescriptive Components of Evolving Jazz: A New Model Based on the Works of Brad Mehldau Mark Edward Baynes An exegesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts The University of Auckland 2015 ii Abstract Jazz has steadily evolved from its inception in the late 19th century to the present. As is the case for other genres, musicological analytic research on jazz evolution has lagged behind its practice; consequently, there is a paucity of in-depth descriptive and analytic research on the music of recent innovators. Among the most recent examples of this evolution, the works of Brad Mehldau as a solo/ensemble pianist and as a composer arguably embody some of the most compelling innovations in the field. Non-academically oriented jazz writers and fans have consistently assigned these works vanguard status, but Mehldau’s output has not yet been sufficiently examined to prescribe performance methods. This exegesis contains (1) descriptive analysis of improvisation contained within a broad cross-section of Mehldau’s music; (2) definition of a new analytical lexicon derived from a holistic study of consonance, dissonance, and research into perceived motivation in music; and (3) prescriptive musical tools relating to consonance and dissonance that have informed the researcher’s performance. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my special thanks to Dr David Lines, Associate Professor W.

  • Brad Mehldau Trio Brad Mehldau, Pianoforte Larry Grenadier, Contrabbasso Jorge Rossy, Batteria
    lunedì 9 settembre 2002 ore 21 Teatro Regio Brad Mehldau Trio Brad Mehldau, pianoforte Larry Grenadier, contrabbasso Jorge Rossy, batteria In collaborazione con Centro Jazz Torino Brad Mehldau ha iniziato gli studi classici di pianoforte a soli sei anni, dedicandosi poi completamente al jazz. Il suo vero lancio nel mondo internazionale arriva con il tour mon- diale come membro del quartetto Redman, con cui registra MoodSwing. Subito dopo arrivano i suoi album Introducing Brad Mehldau e The Art of Trio, volume One, che riscuotono un immediato ed entusiastico consenso da parte della critica americana; nell’album Elegiac Cycle del 1999 Brad giunge a confrontarsi solo con il suo strumento, mentre nell’ultimo, The Art of Trio: Back at the Vanguard, ritorna insieme ai suoi compagni d’avventura, Larry Grenadier e Jorge Rossy, alla configurazione del trio. La sua caratteristica è quella di fon- dere in un unico, inimitabile stile, la raffinatezza di Lennie Tristano, la creatività di Keith Jarrett e la coralità della polifo- nia di suggestione bachiana, con la sua tecnica formidabile, in cui la “sinistra concertante” non si limita all’accompagna- mento, ma offre costantemente un vero e proprio dialogo con la linea melodica principale, creando spunti sempre nuovi e dando un senso polifonico alla composizione. Larry Grenadier è nato a S. Francisco nel 1966 e si è lau- reato in Letteratura Inglese nel 1989 a Stanford. Ha suonato in tournée e in sala di incisione con i chitarristi John Sco- field e Pat Metheny, con Charles Lloyd, Andy Ezrin, Chick Corea, Lea DeLaria, e ha ricevuto grandi consensi dalla cri- tica per le sue esibizioni in trio con Brad Mehldau Jorge Rossy è nato a Barcellona dove ha iniziato gli studi, proseguiti poi alla Berklee School di Boston dove ha suo- nato con Joshua Redman e Danilo Perez; attualmente è con- siderato uno dei più brillanti batteristi della scena americana jazzistica e contemporanea.

Saturday Afternoon Jazz On the Air Music News Listen & Connect Calendars & Events Support About Search Gerry Teekens, Whose Criss Cross Label Was a Harbor to Several Jazz Generations, Dies at 83 By DAVID R. ADLER • NOV 6, 2019 ! Twitter " Facebook # Google+ $ Email LEO VAN VELZEN / LEOVANVELZEN.COM Gerry Teekens, founder and proprietor of Criss Cross Jazz, an unassuming Dutch indie label that became a vital repository of recorded jazz from the 1980s onward, died on Oct. 31. He was 83. His death was confirmed by his son, Jerry Teekens, Jr. At the news, tributes poured in from Criss Cross artists old and new, including soprano saxophonist Sam Newsome and guitarist David Gilmore. Formerly a professional drummer, Teekens founded Criss Cross in 1981 with a mission to document swinging, straight-ahead jazz of the highest caliber. At first the roster featured musicians as revered as guitarist Jimmy Raney and saxophonist Warne Marsh, but it grew to include the young and the promising: saxophonists Kenny Garrett, Chris Potter and Mark Turner, to name but a few, and pianists Orrin Evans, Bill Charlap and Benny Green. Countdown Watch later Share Multiple times a year, Teekens would cross the ocean from Enschede, Netherlands (thus the Criss Cross name), taking up at Rudy Van Gelder’s famed studio in New Jersey (and later at Systems Two in Brooklyn) for a full week of recording — knocking out an album a day, in the old-school way. In recent years the Criss Cross aesthetic began to broaden, with artists like alto saxophonist David Binney and trumpeter Alex Sipiagin using electronics and synthesizers, moving beyond the strictures of one-take-and-done while still remaining on board with the label.

  • John Mcneil Bill Mchenry
    John McNeil John McNeil is regarded as one of the most original and creative jazz artists in the world today. For nearly three decades John has toured with his own groups and has received widespread acclaim as both a player and composer. His highly personal trumpet style communicates across the full range of contemporary jazz, and his compositions combine harmonic freedom with melodic accessibility. John's restless experimentation has kept him on the cutting edge of new music. His background includes the Horace Silver Quintet, Gerry Mulligan, and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. John is equally at home in free and structured settings, and this versatility has put him on stage with artists from Slide Hampton to John Abercrombie. John McNeil was born in 1948 in northern California. Due to a lack of available musical instruction in his home town of Yreka, John largely taught himself to play trumpet and read music. By the time he graduated from high school in 1966, John had already begun playing professionally in the northern California region. John moved to New York in the mid-1970's and began a freelance career. His reputation as an innovative trumpet voice began to grow as he played with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, and led his own groups at clubs such as Boomer's, the legendary Village jazz room. In the late 70's, John joined the Horace Silver Quintet. Around the same time, he began recording for the SteepleChase label under his own name and toured internationally. Although he has worked as a sideman with such luminaries as Gerry Mulligan, John has consistently led his own groups from about 1980 to the present.
