This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

    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?

  • Five Groovers Jazz Quintet the Real Five Groovers Personnel
    The Real Five Groovers Jazz Quintet The Real Five Groovers Personnel Ippolito Roberto Renato Graziano Luca Masi Lamedica Catani Panebianco Rocconi Drums Baritone Alto Piano Doublebass sax Soprano saxes Five Brothers This tune was composed for the first «Gerry Mulligan Quartet» in 1953 with Chet Baker: the famous pianoless quartet (because there’s no room for piano in that place). Then was a succes with the new quartet with Bob Brookmeyer who replaced with his valve trombone Chet Baker. The collaboration with Bob Brookmeyer continued for a very long time. Line for Lyons Black Beat Baritone-saxophonist Gerry Mulligan had opportunities to record sessions with many of the top saxophonists of his time including altoist Johnny Hodges and Paul Desmond , tenorists Stan Getz and Ben Webster. Gerry Mulligan 's 1959 studio date with Johnny Hodges is one of the most satisfying sessions of his various meetings with different saxophonists for Verve. With a hand-picked rhythm section consisting of pianist Claude Williamson , bassist Buddy Clark , and drummer Mel Lewis , and three originals contributed by each of the two leaders, everything gels nicely, though several tracks took more than three takes to reach their final form. The sassy blues “Back Beat” (later re-recorded by Hodges during a still unreleased 1960 studio meeting with Ben Webster ). The two saxophonists blend beautifully and complement one another's efforts, even though this was their only opportunity to record together in the studio. Shady Side The veteran alto saxophonist contributed the low-key ballad "Shady Side," (another original by Gerry Mulligan from the chords of “On the sunny side of the street” great success tune by Johnny Hodges).
