Jazz Trombone Auditions for the Fall of 2021 Due to the online start of this semester, all trombone auditionees will be required to submit an audio/video recording for consideration in this semester’s jazz combos and jazz ensembles. Unlike semesters past when the focus of the jazz ensemble auditions was on sight reading, this semester’s jazz ensemble auditions will require the auditionee to record three contrasting excerpts from three big band classics found in the libraries of Thad Jones and Stan Kenton. It will be incumbent upon the auditionee to study the reference recordings for style and inflection. As in the past, your recordings will be assessed on the musical elements of 1) your rhythmic precision and groove 2) your intonation and pitch control 3) the quality and control of your sound 4) and finally, your style and inflection. It is the auditionee’s responsibility to post the highest audio/video quality possible. Any questions about the details of the following excerpts, or the audition process in general, do not hesitate to contact Professor Mark Lusk at [email protected] *********** If you are interested in participating in the jazz combo program, see the details for recording improvisation examples on Billie’s Bounce and Blue Bossa at the end of this document following the excerpts. Excerpt #1 for all tenor trombonists, play from measure before Letter B to Letter D Reference Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwwu0WPpPw0 (Excerpt begins at 0:38, but highly recommended to study entire piece) Excerpt #1 for all bass trombonists, play from measure before Letter B to Letter D Reference Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwwu0WPpPw0 (Excerpt begins at 0:38, but highly recommended to study entire piece) Excerpt #2 For all tenor trombonists; all players begin by playing the 2nd Trombone part starting at Letter E, then beginning with 5th measure after Letter G players may then choose to play the 1st Trombone part or the 2nd Trombone part depending on their comfortability factor.

    Powell, His Trombone Student Bradley Cooper, Weeks

    Interview with Benny Powell By Todd Bryant Weeks Present: Powell, his trombone student Bradley Cooper, Weeks TBW: Today is August the 6th, 2009, believe it or not, and I’m interviewing Mr. Benny Powell. We’re at his apartment in Manhattan, on 55th Street on the West Side of Manhattan. I feel honored to be here. Thanks very much for inviting me into your home. BP: Thank you. TBW: How long have you been here, in this location? BP: Over forty years. Or more, actually. This is such a nice location. I’ve lived in other places—I was in California for about ten years, but I’ve always kept this place because it’s so centrally located. Of course, when I was doing Broadway, it was great, because I can practically stumble from my house to Broadway, and a lot of times it came in handy when there were snow storms and things, when other musicians had to come in from Long Island or New Jersey, and I could be on call. It really worked very well for me in those days. TBW: You played Broadway for many years, is that right? BP: Yeah. TBW: Starting when? BP: I left Count Basie in 1963, and I started doing Broadway about 1964. TBW: At that time Broadway was not, nor is it now, particularly integrated. I think you and Joe Wilder were among the first to integrate Broadway. BP: It’s funny how it’s turned around. When I began in the early 1960s, there were very few black musicians on Broadway, then in about 1970, when I went to California, it was beginning to get more integrated.

THE MODALITY OF MILES DAVIS AND JOHN COLTRANE14 ■ THE SORCERER: MILES DAVIS (1926–1991) We have encountered Miles Davis in earlier chapters, and will again in later ones. No one looms larger in the postwar era, in part because no one had a greater capacity for change. Davis was no chameleon, adapting himself to the latest trends. His innovations, signaling what he called “new directions,” changed the ground rules of jazz at least fi ve times in the years of his greatest impact, 1949–69. ■ In 1949–50, Davis’s “birth of the cool” sessions (see Chapter 12) helped to focus the attentions of a young generation of musicians looking beyond bebop, and launched the cool jazz movement. ■ In 1954, his recording of “Walkin’” acted as an antidote to cool jazz’s increasing deli- cacy and reliance on classical music, and provided an impetus for the development of hard bop. ■ From 1957 to 1960, Davis’s three major collaborations with Gil Evans enlarged the scope of jazz composition, big-band music, and recording projects, projecting a deep, meditative mood that was new in jazz. At twenty-three, Miles Davis had served a rigorous apprenticeship with Charlie Parker and was now (1949) about to launch the cool jazz © HERMAN LEONARD PHOTOGRAPHY LLC/CTS IMAGES.COM movement with his nonet. wwnorton.com/studyspace 371 7455_e14_p370-401.indd 371 11/24/08 3:35:58 PM 372 ■ CHAPTER 14 THE MODALITY OF MILES DAVIS AND JOHN COLTRANE ■ In 1959, Kind of Blue, the culmination of Davis’s experiments with modal improvisation, transformed jazz performance, replacing bebop’s harmonic complexity with a style that favored melody and nuance.

  • Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021)

    Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021)

    Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021) I’ve been amassing corrections and additions since the August, 2012 publication of Pepper Adams’ Joy Road. Its 2013 paperback edition gave me a chance to overhaul the Index. For reasons I explain below, it’s vastly superior to the index in the hardcover version. But those are static changes, fixed in the manuscript. Discographers know that their databases are instantly obsolete upon publication. New commercial recordings continue to get released or reissued. Audience recordings are continually discovered. Errors are unmasked, and missing information slowly but surely gets supplanted by new data. That’s why discographies in book form are now a rarity. With the steady stream of updates that are needed to keep a discography current, the internet is the ideal medium. When Joy Road goes out of print, in fact, my entire book with updates will be posted right here. At that time, many of these changes will be combined with their corresponding entries. Until then, to give you the fullest sense of each session, please consult the original entry as well as information here. Please send any additions, corrections or comments to http://gc-pepperadamsblog.blogspot.com/, despite the content of the current blog post.
