A focus of this study is an investigation into the guitarist’s potential to improvise completely unaccompanied, without the rhythmic security of drums or the harmonic and structural security of bass or piano. This requires not only a solid grounding in harmony, rhythm, and melody but also should incorporate integration of the melodic and accompaniment roles. This integration of roles is the key focus of this study. In jazz, the piano is the instrument most well- known for solo performance due to the obvious advantages of being able to play left and right hands independently. The guitar by comparison initially appears to have limited possibilities when played solo. This work seeks to find solutions for this problem as developed in my own practice through performance and reflective and investigative analysis; solutions that take advantage of the guitar’s unique characteristics. The outcomes of this research will be documented in a folio of three recorded solo performance recitals and an accompanying exegesis outlining the key findings based on analysis of these performances. The findings will outline solutions to the problems associated with solo guitar performance and address the integration of chordal and melodic playing as well as vital rhythmic, melodic, harmonic and textural concepts. ix Preface Improvising solo guitar is difficult, the guitar “falls between the cracks” of being a chordal instrument and a melodic instrument. The guitarist does not have the potential harmonic palette available to a pianist or the voice-like quality and melodic weight of the saxophone or trumpet. The guitar does have however, its own inherent expressive melodic qualities and a unique chordal language that makes it ideal for solo improvised performance, despite the apparent restrictions. The challenge in solving these problems in a musical way, that allows the performer freedom of expression, whilst providing the listener with a complete and varied experience is the focus of this study. My unique style of jazz guitar playing, based on a conceptual approach developed over many years, has led me to investigate a question that has become ubiquitous in the field. “Why do jazz improvisers on guitar separate and compartmentalize their chordal and melodic thinking?” My experience has been that the more I can integrate these aspects of my playing the more successful I can be as both a solo improviser and as an ensemble member, especially in situations where the guitar is providing the harmonic and chordal texture. x Guitarists have historically tended to favour or pragmatically fulfil one of two roles. The approaches can loosely be termed “chordal” or “melodic”. In popular and rock/blues music styles these roles are often referred to as “rhythm” and “lead”,

This is a chronological list of representative solos by Hinton as a sideman in a variety of settings throughout his career. Although not definitive, Milt was such a consistent soloist that one could cite many other equally accomplished performances. In some cases, particularly from the 1930s when bass solos were relatively rare, the recordings listed contain prominent bass accompaniment.

  • Jim Hall's Comping On
    Jim Hall’s Comping on “The Days of Wine and Roses” By Tim Fischer Many guitarists find themselves at a loss when first asked to take on the role of the sole harmonic instrument in a small jazz combo. Often times, jazz guitarists develop their comping as members of a big band rhythm section, where three-note chord voicings with the root in the bass and four quarter notes to the bar are stock- in-trade. This traditional style of rhythm guitar does not always transition well into the small jazz combo, and many guitarists without small group combo experience are left with questions about voicings, rhythms, and bal- ancing silence with interaction. Mastering accompaniment, like improvisation, is a life-long process and is best developed by studying the recordings and transcriptions of the master musicians. In this article, we will study guitar comping in the rhythm section by looking at Jim Hall’s accompaniment behind Art Farmer’s solo on the standard “The Days of Wine and Roses,” from Farmer’s 1963 album Interaction. Jim Hall helped popularize the use of the guitar as a valid replacement for the piano in the rhythm section through his sideman work with such high-profile artists as Sonny Rollins,Art Farmer, Paul Desmond, Chico Hamilton, and Jimmy Guiffre during the 50’s and 60’s. Often cited as the father of modern jazz guitar, Hall’s accompaniment style in each one of the aforementioned artists’ recordings details how Hall adapted to the musi- cal demands of each situation. As the album title states, the Art Farmer quartet of 1963 and 1964 was based on active interaction between its members, which also included Steve Swallow on upright bass and Walter Perkins on drums.

  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. 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”.

  • Red Nichols from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Red Nichols From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Ernest Loring "Red" Nichols the hood man Born May 8, 1905 Ogden, Utah, US Died June 28, 1965 (aged 60) The Mint Las Vegas Genres Jazz Occupation(s) Musician, bandleader, composer Instruments Cornet Associated acts California Ramblers, Paul Whiteman Ernest Loring "Red" Nichols (May 8, 1905 – June 28, 1965) was an American jazz cornettist, composer, and jazz bandleader. Over his long career, Nichols recorded in a wide variety of musical styles, and critic Steve Leggett describes him as "an expert cornet player, a solid improviser, and apparently a workaholic, since he is rumored to have appeared on over 4,000 recordings during the 1920s alone." Biography Early life and career Nichols was born on May 8, 1905 in Ogden, Utah. His father was a college music professor, and Nichols was a child prodigy, because by twelve he was already playing difficult set pieces for his father's brass band. Young Nichols heard the early recordings of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and later those of Bix Beiderbecke, and these had a strong influence on the young cornet player. His style became polished, clean and incisive. In the early 1920s, Nichols moved to the Midwest and joined a band called The Syncopating Seven. When that band broke up he joined the Johnny Johnson Orchestra and went with it to New York City in 1923. New York would remain his base for years thereafter. In New York he met and teamed up with trombonist Miff Mole, and the two of them were inseparable for the next decade.
