  • Ella Fitzgerald 1944-1947
    Ella Fitzgerald: syllabic choice in scat singing and her timbral syllabic development between 1944 and 1947 By Justin Garrett Binek 2 It is common in jazz discourse to praise Ella Fitzgerald as the greatest vocal improviser in the music’s history – Ella in fact declared herself to be exactly that1 - and this is part of the commonly accepted vocal jazz historical narrative. Improvisational methods praise her ideas as “excellent models for students of vocal jazz”2 and “musically and verbally inventive, filled with the joy of her creativity… represent[ing] the essence and pinnacle of scat singing”3; critical commentaries praise her “perfect balance between a steam enginelike propulsion and an ethereal playfulness”4; and reference books mention Fitzgerald as an exemplar of scat singing in definitions of the term5, using phrases like “It is mostly closely associated by the general public with Ella Fitzgerald and her many imitators.”6 Ella’s influence on other singers is illuminated in Chip Deffaa’s profile from Jazz Veterans: A Portrait Gallery7, written shortly before her death in 1996: “No living singer is more respected by other singers.” Deffaa quotes – among others – Annie Ross (“Like Charlie Parker, Ella can think it and execute it.”8), Jon Hendricks (“Ella’s a one-in-a-lifetime.”9), Anita O’Day (“The first time I heard Ella, in 1937, I said, ‘That is the girl. 1 Friedwald, Jazz Singing: America’s Great Voices from Bessie Smith to Bebop and Beyond, 282. 2 Madura, Getting Started with Vocal Improvisation, 29. 3 Stoloff, Scat!

Elvin, if we can begin by you stating your full name and when you were born. Elvin Jones: My name is Elvin Ray Jones. I was born in Pontiac, Michigan in 1927; as one half of a twin, I was a twin! (chuckles). And my twin brother, we both had whooping cough, and he didn’t survive longer than 6 months. You know, I can remember the funeral and everything. Cause I used to tell my mother, I’d say “That little casket was right there!” and I’d point it out to her and she’d say, “That’s right.” (chuckles). Anthony Brown: Wow, so you say in about 6 months—he passed at about 6 months old? Elvin Jones: Right Anthony Brown: And what was the date of that birth?

While this document does not fully update the repertoire list, it does provide a representative sampling of the works written for the instrument since 1985.

  • Teaching and Learning Jazz Trombone Dissertation
    TEACHING AND LEARNING JAZZ TROMBONE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Julia M. Gendrich, B.S., M.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. William T. McDaniel, Co-Adviser _______________________________ Co-Adviser Dr. Timothy A. Gerber, Co-Adviser School of Music Dr. Jon R. Woods _______________________________ Co-Adviser School of Music ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to identify and assess methods of teaching and learning jazz trombone improvisation that have been implemented by jazz trombone professors. Its intent was to describe learning procedures and areas of trombone study. A survey instrument was designed after interviewing 20 professional jazz trombonists. The survey was pilot-tested (n = 9) and adjustments were made. Jazz trombone professors (n = 377) were sent questionnaires, with a response rate of 28 percent after an additional reminder to all and follow-up phone calls to one-third of the sample. Of the 106 total respondents, 58 were deemed to be eligible participants as both trombonists and as teachers of jazz improvisation. Three areas were explored: 1) early stages of development, 2) teaching, and 3) trombone technique. Data showed that most of the professors (77%) had learned to improvise between 7th-12th grades. They identified the most important method of learning for themselves as listening and playing-along with recordings. Learning occurred on their own for many, though college also had an impact. Schools (K-12) were not strongly rated as being helpful in the trombonists learning to improvise (2.49 on a scale of one to five), though schools did provide many jazz performance experiences.
