I've seen broken mouthpieces, bent rods and necks several times from seasoned professionals who should have known better! This is precisely why its important to develop good habits when putting your instrument together. Prior to putting the mouthpiece on the neck, make certain that the cork is lubricated.

  • Primary Sources: an Examination of Ira Gitler's
    PRIMARY SOURCES: AN EXAMINATION OF IRA GITLER’S SWING TO BOP AND ORAL HISTORY’S ROLE IN THE STORY OF BEBOP By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Master of Arts M.A. Program in Jazz History and Research Written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter And approved by ___________________________ _____________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Primary Sources: An Examination of Ira Gitler’s Swing to Bop and Oral History’s Role in the Story of Bebop By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON Thesis director: Dr. Lewis Porter This study is a close reading of the influential Swing to Bop: An Oral History of the Transition of Jazz in the 1940s by Ira Gitler. The first section addresses the large role oral history plays in the dominant bebop narrative, the reasons the history of bebop has been constructed this way, and the issues that arise from allowing oral history to play such a large role in writing bebop’s history. The following chapters address specific instances from Gitler’s oral history and from the relevant recordings from this transitionary period of jazz, with musical transcription and analysis that elucidate the often vague words of the significant musicians. The aim of this study is to illustratethe smoothness of the transition from swing to bebop and to encourage a sense of skepticism in jazz historians’ consumption of oral history. ii Acknowledgments The biggest thanks go to Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr.

How Bebop Came to Be: The aE rly History of Modern Jazz Abstract Bebop, despite its rather short lifespan, would become a key influence for every style that came after it. Bebop’s effects on improvisation, group structure, and harmony would be felt throughout jazz for decades to come, and the best known musicians of the bebop era are still regarded as some of the finest jazz musicians to ever take the stage. But the characteristics of bebop can easily be determined from the music itself.

  • Top 200 Recordings
    200 Essential Small Group Jazz Recordings 1925-1975 This list comprises two hundred of the most historically important small group jazz recordings. Represented is the work of every major innovator, as well as many of the great stylists. Thousands of recordings are currently available and it is often difficult for the young player to know where start building a collection. This list is by no means an absolute, but combines what I consider to be a complete overview of the masters and their music. Notes on Charlie Parker Recordings: There are hundreds of studio and live recordings of Parker available. The Dial, Savoy and Verve recordings are the primary ones to seek out. Due to the limitations of pre-1950 recording technology (78 r.p.m. discs), sound recordings were no greater than 3 minutes in length. The many "live" recordings of Parker offer the listener an opportunity to hear Bird unhindered by these constraints. 1) Louis Armstrong--Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings (Columbia) 2) Louis Armstrong--Complete RCA/Victor Recordings (RCA) 3) Louis Armstrong--Ella and Louis (Verve) 4) Louis Armstrong--Plays W.C.

  • Delmark Label Discography
    Discography Of The Delmar(k) Label Delmar Records was started in St. Louis Missouri in 1953 by Robert Koester. The company recorded blues and jazz. Pearl Records was a subsidiary. Robert Koester was born in 1932 and grew up in Wichita, Kansas during the era of the Big Bands. He loved to listen to Fats Waller, Barney Bigard, Coleman Hawkins and others on the radio and as a teenager went to live performances whenever he could. He began collecting records in high school but in order to find what interested him, he had to search in second hand stores and in obsolete stock from juke box operators because the music was out of print. Koester was collecting both jazz and blues. Out of high school he enrolled in cinematography at St. Louis University because he had ambitions to be a film maker. He began selling records out of his dormitory room and joined a jazz club in St. Louis. At the jazz club he met Ron Fister who was also a record collector and they formed K & F Sales which evolved into a record store named Blue Note Record Shop. After a year in business, Fister and Koester agreed to split up the inventory and Koester opened a record store on Delmar Street. In 1953, Koester started the Delmar record label at the age of 21, named after the street. Because he was threatened with a lawsuit, Koester had to change the name of the label to Delmark in the early 60’s. The first artists on Delmar were the Windy City Six a vintage jazz group that was based in St.

A une époque où il n’y avait pas de télévision et où les disques n’offraient que 3 minutes de musique par face, ce grand amateur de jazz en achetait un par jour chez un disquaire de Caen dont il était certainement le meilleur client. Il recopiait souvent au stylo à plume la critique de Frank Ténot avec sa date de partution dans Jazz Hot sur l’enveloppe en papier kraft typique des 78 tours. Ces commentaires sont très intéressants 50 ou 60 ans plus tard. En 1988 toute la discothèque du Dr. Noyer fut mise en vente soit environ 4.000 disques 78 tours, des centaines de vinyles, des bandes magnétiques, etc… Bien qu’elle n’ait été annoncée que dans Le Pays d’Auge, cette vente aux enchères fit venir tous les cinglés de jazz de France et de Navarre. Vendus par lot de 10 disques, les prix se sont immédiatement envolés et je n’ai plus en acheter qu’environ 250 qui sont rassemblés ici.

  • David Baker BILLIE's BOUNCE
    BOOGIEWOOGIE.RU I F Techniques for Learrijng I - 1 I .no . - - BOOGIEWOOGIE.RU Preface I Of all the styles to emerge from jazz, perhaps the most important and pervasive in terms of in fluence and consequence is that body of music which had its inception in the early 1940s. In the playing of its two main giants, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, the music which is now known as bebop was born. In the ensuing years, the music and its musicians have not only endured but have grown in stature and influence. Since Diz and Bird, virtually every voice in jazz has demonstrated an in- debtedness to them and the exciting new style that they pioneered. I think that one could say without fear of contradiction that bebop is the common practice period of jazz. Very little music in popular idioms has escaped its influence and older styles that coexist with it have absorbed many of its characteristics and strengths. Almost all later styles-cool, hard bop, funky, contemporary mainstream (4ths, pentatonics, angularity, etc.), thirdstream, fusion, etc.-have all borrowed liberally from the language, struc- ture, syntax, grammar, gestures, etc., of bebop. For years it has been an unwritten law that the understanding of, and ability to function com- fortably in bebop represents a solid basis for dealing with almost all other jazz styles; even though many of the styles of "free jazz" seemed to have leaped backwards to earlier styles for their major impetuses, the base majority of today's players came from bebop or one of its myriad offshoots.
