  • CATALOGUE WELCOME to NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS and NAXOS NOSTALGIA, Twin Compendiums Presenting the Best in Vintage Popular Music
    NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS/NOSTALGIA CATALOGUE WELCOME TO NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS AND NAXOS NOSTALGIA, twin compendiums presenting the best in vintage popular music. Following in the footsteps of Naxos Historical, with its wealth of classical recordings from the golden age of the gramophone, these two upbeat labels put the stars of yesteryear back into the spotlight through glorious new restorations that capture their true essence as never before. NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS documents the most vibrant period in the history of jazz, from the swinging ’20s to the innovative ’40s. Boasting a formidable roster of artists who forever changed the face of jazz, Naxos Jazz Legends focuses on the true giants of jazz, from the fathers of the early styles, to the queens of jazz vocalists and the great innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. NAXOS NOSTALGIA presents a similarly stunning line-up of all-time greats from the golden age of popular entertainment. Featuring the biggest stars of stage and screen performing some of the best- loved hits from the first half of the 20th century, this is a real treasure trove for fans to explore. RESTORING THE STARS OF THE PAST TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, by transforming old 78 rpm recordings into bright-sounding CDs, is an intricate task performed for Naxos by leading specialist producer-engineers using state-of-the-art-equipment. With vast personal collections at their disposal, as well as access to private and institutional libraries, they ensure that only the best available resources are used. The records are first cleaned using special equipment, carefully centred on a heavy-duty turntable, checked for the correct playing speed (often not 78 rpm), then played with the appropriate size of precision stylus.

  • Enrico Crolla “Henri”
    1 The GUITAR of ENRICO CROLLA “HENRI” Solographers: Christian Dangleterre & Jan Evensmo Last update: June 20, 2020 2 Born: Napoli (Naples), Italy, Feb. 26, 1920 Died: Paris, Oct. 17, 1960 Introduction: What Oslo Jazz Circle knew about French jazz when I grew up there can be summed up with one name: Django Reinhardt. It took my good friend and guitarist Jon Larsen, the motor and godfather behind the string swing rejuvenation in the 1980s, to point out that France had so much more to offer with regard to jazz guitar. Henri Crolla is a perfect example! History: Born to a family of itinerant Neapolitan musicians, he moved with his family to Porte de Choisy in France 1922 following the rise of fascism in Italy. One of his neighbours was a young Django Reinhardt, with whose family he became close. He died in Paris from lung cancer (ref. Wikipedia). 3 HENRI CROLLA SOLOGRAPHY JOSEPH REINHARDT ET SON ENSEMBLE Paris, April 1944 Claude Laurence alias Andre Hodeir (vln), Joseph Reinhardt solo (g), G.Milpat alias Henri Crolla (g), Marcel Fabre (b), Pierre Fouad (dm), Odette Pacou (vo).

"Things ... " is a tune that was performed by Duke Ellington's band, but was composed by his son, Mercer. In 1941, there was a strike by ASCAP, (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) this strike caused members of ASCAP to have to put a presents freeze on the release of new compositions at this time. Since Duke was a member, he turned to his son and Billy Strayhorn to write compositions for Ellington's band, and get credit for them. During this time, Strayhorn wrote compositions such as "Chelsea Bridge" and "Take the 'A' Train".

  • Django Reinhardt: the Journey of the Gypsy King
    Django Reinhardt: The Journey of the Gypsy King [Minor Swing ] [Black Slide] Introduction: The ideas of art music and folk music have always been separate and somewhat black and white. The virtuosity of performance and the complexity of composition have largely defined art music—just as simplicity and relatability have done that for folk music. To combine the two styles of music for creation’s sake is not a new musical idea, but historically the end product generally has seemed to privilege and to lean more towards art music rather than folk. Django Reinhardt, however, is one of the first musicians to ever take it in the other direction, elevating folk influences to be on a par with classical ones. His ability to take simple rhythms and melody lines and add complex virtuosic guitar improvisation over those melodies are what make the gypsy style so innovative, aesthetically rewarding, accessible, and historically influential. His contributions in gypsy jazz have left their mark on other styles of music such as blues, rock and roll, bluegrass and other jazz styles. Furthermore, if we were to mention the greatest guitar players of the last century, we would have to include Django Reinhardt on the list. 1:15 History of Django and his disability: As with most European gypsies, the Reinhardt family was constantly on the move. Therefore, the story of Django Reinhardt's birth is somewhat unclear. However, we do know that he was born somewhere near a little town called Liberchies in Belgium in a gypsy encampment on January 23 rd , 1910. He was named Jean-Baptiste Reinhardt, and as with most gypsy children, he was given a nickname.

  • The Harmony of Debussy in Contemporary Jazz Brigham
    THE HARMONY OF DEBUSSY IN CONTEMPORARY JAZZ BRIGHAM PHILLIPS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY, 2018 © BRIGHAM PHILLIPS, 2018 ABSTRACT Claude Debussy and other late 19th-century composers (especially Maurice Ravel) introduced several new harmonic innovations that have since become standard tools of the jazz composer/arranger/improviser, among them the rich harmonies of chromatically altered chords as well as the use of the whole tone, pentatonic and octatonic scales. This thesis presents an original composition The Stanley Bridge Suite that demonstrates ​ ​ how these harmonic concepts are used in modern orchestral jazz. A brief history of impressionism is included, followed by a chapter showing the increasing prevalence of impressionist harmony in jazz over the years. Because The Stanley Bridge Suite was arranged for ​ ​ an orchestral jazz ensemble the makeup of the modern jazz orchestra is also discussed. The final chapter analyzes the thesis composition in detail, showing where and how the various Debussy techniques were incorporated in the work. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professors Al Henderson and Dr. Mark Chambers for their guidance and assistance. I would also like to acknowledge and thank my parents for giving me the gift of music and encouraging my choice to make a living as a professional musician. My father, recently deceased, always hoped I would pursue a Masters Degree in Music one day. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, daughter and son for encouraging me to go on this Masters journey and for putting up with my frequent absence from their lives while doing so.

  • Dokumentation Django Reinhardt
    Bemerkungen zu „Django Reinhardt – Three-Fingered Lightning“ Regie: Christian Cascio 2010 Mitwirkende: Stephane Grapelli, Babik Reinhardt, David Reinhardt, Martial Solal, Alf Masselier, Jean-Louis Chautemps, Andre Hodeir Django Reinhardt (ca. 1946) Filminhalt: Mit einer Überblendung von Django Reinhardt zu David Reinhardt, Enkel von Django und Sohn von Babik Reinhardt – Vertreter einer Gitarristen- Dynastie - beginnt der Film, der das Leben des wohl besten europäischen Jazzmusikers schildert. Eine kurze Einblendung von Original-Filmaufnahmen mit dem Protagonisten des Sinti-Jazz (eigentlich genauer Manouche-Jazz) zeigt die Musikalität des großen französischen Jazz-Heroes. 1910 wird er in Belgien als Sohn einer Tänzerin und eines Wandermusikers geboren. Der Vater verlässt seine Ehefrau, Django und seinen Bruder Joseph, der später treuer Begleitmusikers des Gitarren- Genie wird. Als Junge gelangt er mit seiner Restfamilie nach Paris, wo er auf den Straßen und Gassen bettelt und Banjo spielt. Er spielt in den Kneipen und Tanzsälen rund um den Montmartre und nimmt mit achtzehn Jahren seine erste Platte mit einem Akkordeonisten auf. Im selben Jahr kommt es bei einem Wohnwagenbrand zu einer Katastrophe. Der Sinti erlitt Verbrennungen an der linken Hand (Griffhand des Gitarristen) und an seinen Beinen. Es sieht so aus, als ob der Traum vom internationalen Ruhm als Musiker bereits an der Schwelle des Erfolgs zu Ende ist. Achtzehn Monate dauert die Rekonvaleszenz des jungen Mannes. Drei Finger seiner wichtigen linken Hand kann er nur noch bewegen. Doch Django will es wissen. Er verlässt seine Frau und seinen ersten Sohn Lousson (der später selbst ein berühmter Gitarrist wird) und geht nach Toulon in Südfrankreich. Dort lernt er den Maler Emile Savitry kennen, der eine Gitarre und eine Jazzplatten-Sammlung von internationalen Stars (Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong usw.

  • How to Start a Gypsy Jazz Group
    KS3/4/5KS5 How to start a gypsy jazz group David Guinane is by David Guinane Head of Music at Beaumont School in St Albans, and a guitar player in a gypsy jazz quartet. INTRODUCTION In my experience, many secondary music departments are awash with guitarists (usually evidenced by their inability to leave cases in a sensible place). There are, of course, countless ways to get them involved with a school’s music making: rock schools, bands, or the guitar chair in a big band, for example. However, the ‘bedroom guitarist’ still thrives in many schools – the player who learns tunes from the internet, but lacks the experience of playing with others, thus not developing a whole range of essential musical skills. Without a guitar specialist in the department, or at least someone with the patience to watch them struggle to plug their instrument into an amp and tune up, guitarists can often be underused, or even abandoned entirely. Gypsy jazz, best exemplified by the music of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, has provided a stimulating and challenging environment for guitarists (and many other musicians) in my school. This resource is designed to give all teachers a starting point for creating a gypsy jazz ensemble, a potential club or project that can involve potentially disaffected guitarists in your schools. Once you’ve got the basics down, you can expand the style to include a host of other musicians, developing their ability to improvise and play jazz.
