  • Johnny Hodges: an Analysis and Study of His Improvisational Style Through Selected Transcriptions
    HILL, AARON D., D.M.A. Johnny Hodges: An Analysis and Study of His Improvisational Style Through Selected Transcriptions. (2021) Directed by Dr. Steven Stusek. 82 pp This document investigates the improvisational style of Johnny Hodges based on improvised solos selected from a broad swath of his recording career. Hodges is widely considered one of the foundational voices of the alto saxophone, and yet there are no comprehensive studies of his style. This study includes the analysis of four solos recorded between 1928 and 1962 which have been divided into the categories of blues, swing, and ballads, and his harmonic, rhythmic, and affective tendencies will be discussed. Hodges’ harmonic approach regularly balanced diatonicism with the accentuation of locally significant non-diatonic tones, and his improvisations frequently relied on ornamentation of the melody. He demonstrated considerable rhythmic fluidity in terms of swing, polyrhythmic, and double time feel. The most individually identifiable quality of his style was his frequent and often exaggerated use of affectations, such as scoops, sighs, and glissandi. The resulting body of research highlights the identifiable characteristics of Hodges’ style, and it provides both musical and historical contributions to the scholarship.

In his fifty-year career he played over 20,000 performances in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East as well as Asia. Simply put, Ellington transcends boundaries and fills the world with a treasure trove of music that renews itself through every generation of fans and music-lovers. His legacy continues to live onward and will endure for generations to come. Wynton Marsalis said it best when he said, “His music sounds like America.” Because of the unmatched artistic heights to which he soared, no one deserves the phrase “beyond category” more than Ellington, for it aptly describes his life as well. When asked what inspired him to write, Ellington replied, “My men and my race are the inspiration of my work. I try to catch the character and mood and feeling of my people.” Duke Ellington is best remembered for the over 3,000 songs that he composed during his lifetime.

  • Jumpin' Punkins by Mercer Ellington Arranged by Duke Ellington Unit 1
    Jumpin’ Punkins By Mercer Ellington Arranged by Duke Ellington Unit 1: Composer Mercer Ellington was born in Washington D.C., on March 11, 1919. He was the son of world famous composer, pianist, and bandleader, Duke Ellington. He tried for his entire life to escape from under the shadow of his famous father. A talented trumpet player, Mercer studied music with his father and wrote his first composition, “Pigeons and Peppers”, at the age of eighteen. Mercer, a classically trained musician, studied music in New York at Columbia University and the Institute of Musical Arts at Juilliard. He had several professions in life including salesman, disk jockey, record company executive, trumpet player, and aide to his father. Mercer performed in Sy Oliver’s Band after WWII, led his own band for a number of years, and then served as music director for Della Reese in 1960. He took over as leader of the Ellington Orchestra after his father’s death in 1974. He even won a Grammy with the Ellington Orchestra in 1988 for “Digital Duke.” This recording actually pulled together many of the former greats of the Ellington Orchestra including Clark Terry, Norris Turney and special guest artists including Branford Marsalis and Sir Roland Hanna. Mercer also wrote a biography of his father entitled “Duke Ellington in Person,” offering a personal account of Duke Ellington from a son’s perspective. Unit 2: Composition Mercer wrote Jumpin’ Punkins (1941) after being asked by his father, Duke, to join the band as a writer. It is believed that even though Mercer composed several compositions during this two-year period, Duke actually arranged this chart for the Ellington Orchestra himself.
