Common Jazz Standards and Tunes Common Jazz Standards and Tunes The tunes are arranged in categories according to their level of difficulty. There are also Blues and Rhythm Changes categories. This is not a comprehensive list, but represents tunes from my personal repertoire along with tunes I plan to learn. Most of the tunes are jazz standards, but many are Great American Songbook classics. Send me a message if you think of other tunes that should be included.

  • Horace Silver Complete Vol. 1
    HORACE SILVER COMPLETE VOL. 1: The 50s Horace Silver Complete Volume One: The 50s Editor: Jay Glacy This book contains lead sheets to all the tunes written and recorded by jazz pianist and bandleader Horace Silver, as sideman or leader, during the 1950s. These lead sheets document indelible performances of tunes many of which, over fifty years, have become jazz standards. There are no chord substitutions or melody alterations included, only the most accurate documentation of the original performances. In some instances the editor has included ancillary musical elements (like bass lines or harmony parts) to give a fuller snapshot of the music; these are notated using cue notes. A number of these tunes were later re-recorded by Mr. Silver and these versions can be found in the companion books Volume Two: The 60s and Volume Three: The 70s and Beyond. © 2014 Really Good Music, LLC ii Table of Contents Title Date Recorded Page Penny January 23, 1951 42 Split Kick January 23, 1951 64 Potter’s Luck August 15, 1951 43 Roccus June 20, 1952 49 Horoscope October 9, 1952 25 Safari October 9, 1952 52 Ecaroh October 20, 1952 16 Knowledge Box October 20, 1952 28 Quicksilver October 20, 1952 46 Yeah!

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 082 255 CS 500 420 AUTHOR Baker, David N. TITLE The Rhetorical Dimensions of Black Music Past and Present. INSTITUTION Speech Communication Association, New York, N.Y. PUB DATE Nov 72 NOTE ,47p.; Paper presented at the Black Communication Conference (Pittsburgh, November 1972) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS African American Studies; Applied Music; Communication (Thought Transfer); *Cultural Awareness; Cultural.Factors; Higher Education; Jazz; *Musical Composition; *Music Techniques; Negro Attitudes; *Negro Culture; *Rhetoric; Secondary Education IDENTIFIERS *Afro American Communication ABSTRACT Examination of lyrics of the blues and jazz forms of black music indicates their importance as communication. Contemporary styles can be divided into five overlapping categories: (1) "mainstream," the post- "bebop" style and soul jazz; (2)jazz influenced by other ethnic music; (3) the avant-garde jazz, which is often nationalistic and of social importance;(4) "thirdstream," a combination of jazz, with European classical concert styles; and (5) the new, diversified liturgical music. Aside from lyrics, there are musical signals that are of communicational importance to blacks because of special uses of rhythm, melody, inflection, scale patterns, harmony, and improvisation. Black music has been largely influenced by two durable styles that possess tested communicative powers. One is the antiphonal (call and response) song, issuing directly from African traditions. The other is the blues, the 'foundation of much popular black music and an embodiment of those elements which characterize black culture and the life style of . blacks. (Included in this document are outlines for four courses on black music and an extensive reading list.) (RN) FILMED FROM BEST AVAILABLE COPY U S.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.

  • MILES DAVIS: the ROAD to MODAL JAZZ Leonardo Camacho Bernal
    MILES DAVIS: THE ROAD TO MODAL JAZZ Leonardo Camacho Bernal Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: John Murphy, Major Professor Cristina Sánchez-Conejero, Minor Professor Mark McKnight, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Camacho Bernal, Leonardo, Miles Davis: The Road to Modal Jazz. Master of Arts (Music), May 2007, 86 pp., 19 musical examples, references, 124 titles. The fact that Davis changed his mind radically several times throughout his life appeals to the curiosity. This thesis considers what could be one of the most important and definitive changes: the change from hard bop to modal jazz. This shift, although gradual, is best represented by and culminates in Kind of Blue, the first Davis album based on modal style, marking a clear break from hard bop. This thesis explores the motivations and reasons behind the change, and attempt to explain why it came about. The purpose of the study is to discover the reasons for the change itself as well as the reasons for the direction of the change: Why change and why modal music?

  • Herman Cook “Junior”
    1 The TENORSAX of HERMAN COOK “JUNIOR” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Oct. 9, 2019 2 Born: Pensacola, Florida, July 22, 1934 Died: NYC. Feb. 3, 1992 Introduction: Oslo Jazz Circle in the old days was very interested in the exciting art of the famous Horace Silver, and thus we also became familiar with Junior Cook. Unfortunately they never visited our backward country although they came pretty close. For me personally though, I solved the problem by visiting New York! History: Played alto saxophone while he was in high school but soon took up the tenor instrument instead. Played with Dizzy Gillespie in early 1958 and joined the Horace Silver Quintet in May; also in that year he recorded with Kenny Burrell. After leaving Silver in 1964 he played until 1969 with Blue Mitchell, who had also been one of Silver’s sidedmen, and recorded with Barry Harris (1967) and organists John Patton and John Patterson (both 1968). Taught at the Berklee College of Music before working with Freddie Hubbard (1973-75). Played in a quintet with with Louis Hayes (from 1975) (ref. The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz). 3 JUNIOR COOK SOLOGRAPHY KENNY BURRELL SEPTET NYC. May 14, 1958 Louis Smith (tp), Tina Brooks, Junior Cook (ts), Duke Jordan (p-items 1,2,3), Bobby Timmons (p-items 4,5,6,7), Kenny Burrell (g), Sam Jones (b), Art Blakey (dm). Nine titles were recorded for Blue Note, issued as ”Blue Lights”, no tenorsax on tk4 “The Man I Love” and tk11 ”Autumn In New York” but: tk1 I Never Knew Solo 7 choruses of 32 bars (last tenorsax solo).
