  • Analytic, Descriptive, and Prescriptive Components of Evolving Jazz: a New Model Based on the Works of Brad Mehldau
    Analytic, Descriptive, and Prescriptive Components of Evolving Jazz: A New Model Based on the Works of Brad Mehldau Mark Edward Baynes An exegesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts The University of Auckland 2015 ii Abstract Jazz has steadily evolved from its inception in the late 19th century to the present. As is the case for other genres, musicological analytic research on jazz evolution has lagged behind its practice; consequently, there is a paucity of in-depth descriptive and analytic research on the music of recent innovators. Among the most recent examples of this evolution, the works of Brad Mehldau as a solo/ensemble pianist and as a composer arguably embody some of the most compelling innovations in the field. Non-academically oriented jazz writers and fans have consistently assigned these works vanguard status, but Mehldau’s output has not yet been sufficiently examined to prescribe performance methods. This exegesis contains (1) descriptive analysis of improvisation contained within a broad cross-section of Mehldau’s music; (2) definition of a new analytical lexicon derived from a holistic study of consonance, dissonance, and research into perceived motivation in music; and (3) prescriptive musical tools relating to consonance and dissonance that have informed the researcher’s performance. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my special thanks to Dr David Lines, Associate Professor W.

  • Gary Burton Course
    Gary Burton Improvisation Course Intro Improvisers usually get started by listening to records and trying to copy their favourite players. We also learn from other musicians and from just experimenting as much as we can. As a result pretty much everyone's knowledge of improvisation is not only incomplete, but also has a perspective unique to each player's learning experience. At some point along the way, this haphazard way of learning isn't enough, and the intermediate level improviser needs to learn more about the techniques and mental processes that take place in improvising. In this course, we will explore three areas of importance for improvising. One is technical information—how improvisers deal with harmony, melodic construction, and execution in ways that are different from playing written music. Two is learning how to analyse and understand compositions from the point of view of the improviser in order to play meaningful solos that capture the important elements of the songs we use as the basis for improvising. And three is learning how the mental processes function in improvising, again different from performing written music, and key to being an effective improviser. We will also take a look at a lot of ancillary topics ranging from use of dynamics to theme development, chromaticism, and accompanying other soloists, among others that are important for the improviser to understand and use properly. By the end of the course, you will have a well-rounded understanding of improvisation and be able to assess your strengths and areas to work on in future practicing and how to go about it.

  • Jennie C. Jones Interviewed by Jared Quinton
    Structure Without a Center: Jennie C. Jones Interviewed by Jared Quinton Minimalist painting with a maximalist impulse. Jennie C. Jones, Fractured Crescendo, Rest, 2019, acoustic panel, acrylic on canvas, 2 parts: 36 × 24 × 3 inches; overall: 36 × 49.5 × 3 inches. Photo by Pierre le Hors. Courtesy of the artist; PATRON Gallery, Chicago; Alexander Gray Associates, New York; and the Arts Club of Chicago, Chicago. The work of Jennie C. Jones rewards sustained contemplation. Her paintings, sculptures, and acoustic installations coax viewers to consider the intertwined phenomena—and histories—of sight and sound, looking and listening. Jones’s exhibition Constant Structure was installed at the Arts Club of Chicago the week it closed due to COVID-19. (The exhibition space has since reopened.) From her studio in upstate New York, she spoke with me about the new directions pursued in this body of work and the continuing resonance of Minimalism. —Jared Quinton I’d love to start our conversation by considering the idea of “constant structure.” In some ways you embrace a modernist approach to form and content, but there is also an immense freedom in your work, a looseness that goes along with the appearance of rigidity. In his companion text for your exhibition, Fred Moten cites Jacques Derrida’s idea of “structure without a center.” Can you talk a bit about how you conceptualize the role of structure in your practice? Jennie C. Jones I’d like to start off a bit “meta” by saying it’s not easy to discuss works I wasn’t able to experience installed or to consider their impetus from before such dark times.

PREFACE This book constitutes my advice from a lifetime as jazz artist and educator on how to think and prepare for jazz performance. What follows is a series of essays written extemporaneously in response to students’ questions. Since no documentation is offered, they do not constitute scholarly dissertations. While topics have been grouped together in rough categorical sequence, this is not a text or method book; and they do not constitute complete studies. It is my hope, however, that this collection will inform, inspire, and provoke aspiring jazz performers and educators alike. \\ vii viii Know your story and be able to deliver it in a powerful personal style.

Send a mail to [email protected] 1. My Romance In the first class we give you an overview of what you should know to understand a composition such as “My Romance” (R. Rodgers & L. Hart). A good start is always the lyrics: My Romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky My Romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by No month of May, no twinkling stars No hide away, no soft guitars My Romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true My Romance doesn't need a thing but you We continue with the melody and look at its structure, its organisation. Ask yourself questions such as: - What is the motive (smallest melodic cellula) - What is the first phrase? - How is this futher developed? - What is the structure of the first sixteen bars? Things you should know before the analysis: • What is the tonality? (1) • What are the diatonic chords? (2) • Which chords are diatonic, which aren’t? (3) • Is the melody diatonic? (4) • What are the related chords to be expected, such as for Secondary Dominants and what is the added value of these chords?

(6) Some answers: 1) The song is written in C major 2) The diatonic chords: 3) Chords which are ‘non-diatonic’: Most of the chords are diatonic, which you can see at their roman numerals.

Reference texts: The student is expected to have immediate access to texts from MUJS 3610 and 3620 and Inside The Score (Rayburn Wright). Course description: MUJS 4610 is required of all graduate jazz majors, and undergraduate arranging majors. This course explores the basic textures of writing (monophonic, polyphonic, and homophonic) with a deeper analysis of melodic composition, contrapuntal and harmonic styles and techniques, and orchestration “across” the horn sections. The assignments below will occur in the order of presentation. All are designed to instill a focus on particular techniques that may be applied to personal creative projects. Depending on the complexity of the assignment, some may require at least two weeks to complete. The class progression will be determined accordingly. Most likely, the Blues Harmony assignments will not be realized until next semester. Those lessons are also found in the 4620 syllabus and in Blackboard. Monophonic Texture Lesson 1: Melodic composition 1 - “Improv” unison/octaves band soli. Listening/Analysis Examples: “I’d Rather Lead a Band”, “Long Way on a Blues” Assignment: take a medium or fast tempo and write a modern melodic line for tutti horns.
