  • Jazzing up Jazz Band JB Dyas, Phd As Published in Downbeat Magazine
    Jazzing Up Jazz Band JB Dyas, PhD As published in DownBeat magazine JB Dyas (left) works with the big band at Houston’s High School for the Performing and Visual Arts Presenting jazz workshops across the country on behalf of the Herbie Hancock Institute, it’s been my experience that too many high school jazz bands, although often sounding quite impressive, are really playing very little jazz. On any given tune, few students are able to improvise – arguably jazz’s most important element. Most of the band members don’t know the chord progression, the form, or even what a chorus is – essentials for the jazz musician. And all too often they haven’t listened to the definitive recordings – a must in learning how to perform this predominantly aural art form – or know who the key players are. They're just reading the music that’s put in front of them, certainly not what jazz is all about. What they’re doing really has little relation to this music’s sensibility; it's more like “concert band with a swing beat.” The teaching and learning of jazz can and should be an integral component of every high school jazz band rehearsal. Since most high schools don’t have the luxury of offering separate jazz theory, improvisation and history classes, jazz band needs to be a “one stop shop.” Therefore, repertoire is key, meaning the repertoire chosen for the school year and the order in which it is presented should be such that it is conducive to the learning of jazz theory and improvisation in a natural, understandable and playable unfolding of material.

  • Jazz Piano Basics Handout WIBC17
    JAZZ PIANO BASICS - DAN DAVEY DAN DAVEY JAZZ PIANO BASICS JAZZ PIANO BASICS - DAN DAVEY LEAD YOUR PIANIST ACROSS THE THRESHOLD Your pianists need YOUR help in rehearsal! Don’t expect private teachers to give them everything they need to be successful in YOUR ensemble on YOUR timeline. You need to have an understanding of the role of the piano and how to communicate voicings, comping, style, and more! Joining the jazz band as a pianist (or any other rhythm section instrument) is much different than joining as a horn player. The “concert band notes” look shockingly similar to the “jazz band notes” on the page. The horn player has to learn style and listening responsibilities. The music you hand your pianist looks entirely different and can be very overwhelming unless you know how to help them. BASIC FOUR-NOTE CHORD SYMBOLS Chord tones are numbered based on an 8-note scale using scale degrees 1 (Root), 3, 5, & 7. The following formulas are used to modify a major scale/arpeggio. Basic Symbols: • Major 7th: 1 3 5 7 Cmaj7, Cma7, CM7, C 7 • Dominant 7th: 1 3 5 b7 C7 • Minor 7th: 1 b3 5 b7 Cmin7, Cmi7, Cm7, C-7 • Half-Diminished: 1 b3 b5 b7 C7, C, Cmin7(b5), Cmi7(b5), Cm7(b5), C-7(b5), C-7(-5) • Diminished 7th: 1 b3 b5 bb7 Co7 • Minor-major 7th: 1 b3 5 7 Cmin(maj7), C-( 7) See the pattern of how each chord adds one flat to create the next. CŒ„Š7 C7 C‹7 C‹7(b5) 4 7 b7 4 w 5 bw 5 bw bw & w 3 w 3 b w bb w w Root w Root w w CŒ„Š7 C7 C‹7 C‹7(b5) b7 b7 4 5 b5 w bw bw bw & 4 w w b w b3 bb w b3 w w w Root w Root (Same as half-diminished chord) Note: All of this may be applied to your guitarist as well!
