Only Louis Armstrong and John Coltrane have had as dramatic an influence on other musicians. Broadly considered as one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, he was crucial in the development of the bebop movement. Many of his compositions have become standards including "Billie’s Bounce", "Ornithology" and "Confirmation". Two of his albums, Jazz at Massey Hall and Charlie Parker with Strings, have received the Grammy Hall of Fame award. His playing was highly acclaimed during his lifetime although his many performances were, from time to time, hampered by his growing addictions – primarily to alcohol and heroin. His prodigious output of albums belies that fact that he died aged only 34, from pneumonia and a bleeding ulcer. ---amazon.com download: uploaded: CD1-5 CD6-10 yandex: CD1-5 CD6-10 2 / 3 Charlie Parker – Portrait (10 CD)(2007) Wpisany przez bluesever Piątek, 10 Sierpień 2012 19:43 - Zmieniony Niedziela, 17 Sierpień 2014 08:57 4shared: CD1-5 CD6-10 mediafire: CD1-5 CD6-10 solidfiles: CD1-5 CD6-10 mega: CD1-5 CD6-10 zalivalka: CD1-5 CD6-10 cloudmailru: CD1-5 CD6-10 filecloudio: CD01 CD6-10 anonfiles: CD1-5 CD6-10 oboom: CD1-5 CD6-10 back 3 / 3.

    [Lytteeksempel 1: - Introduksjon; Hallgeir Pedersen Trio spiller ”Blues for Alice”, komponert av Charlie Parker fra albumet ”Bluero”( 2006).] Forord Jeg vil her gjøre et forsøk på å dele kunnskap med dere om musikkformen som kalles jazz. I dag kan jazz være så mangt og det er lett å bli forvirret i en jungel av vidt forskjellige musikalske utrykk hvor mange plasserer seg under betegnelsen jazz. Det kan være lett å si ”jeg liker ikke jazz!”, fordi man har hørt noe ”rart” eller merkelig musikk på radio eller TV, som ofte er annonsert som jazz. Utviklingen av teknologi og nye kommunikasjonsformer har i de siste 30-40 årene bidratt til at det har oppstått mange varianter av jazzen, noe som har skapt og stadig skaper diskusjon. Enkelte tilhørere omfavner teknologiske nyvinner som dataprogrammering i musikken og mener dette er genialt, mens andre mener at ordenlig jazz kun skal spilles med akustiske instrumenter. Noen mener at musikken som skapes i dag ikke skal ha noe med fortiden å gjøre, mens andre igjen mener at skikkelig jazz er noe som har vært. Det mest fornuftige etter undertegnedes syn er at musikken er et utrykk av vår samtid og at samtiden ikke ville ha vært den samme hvis vi ikke hadde med oss arven og visdommen fra de som kom før oss. De fleste er likevel enige i at jazz er tuftet på improvisasjon (spontanitet) og kommunikasjon (samspill). Samtidig er de fleste enige i at mye av kjernen i jazzen har med å ha kjennskap til standardlåtene å gjøre, altså melodier som i sin tid bl.a.

  • Cycles and Symmetric Division of the Octave in the Works of John Coltrane

    Cycles and Symmetric Division of the Octave in the Works of John Coltrane

    !1 Cycles And Symmetric Division Of The Octave In The Works Of John Coltrane By Jeff Pifher Musically adventurous and always evolving, John Coltrane’s breadth of contributions to the jazz community as well as the world of music is astounding. Coltrane's infatuation with the symmetric division of the octave is one of the most commonly identified elements of his compositional and improvisational style. Perhaps one of Coltrane's most influential musical explorations was his compositional and improvisational work involving sequences of major thirds. This technique was the subject of two of his most influential compositions, "Giant Steps" and "Countdown." Background Coltrane was drawn to the angular and rapid moving chord progressions characteristic of the bebop style. He spent countless hours in his early years familiarizing himself with the required repertoire and practicing to master the bebop language at ever- increasing tempos. Coltrane's earlier compositions, such as “Moments Notice” (1957) and "Lazy Bird" (1957), were typical of the bebop idiom of the period, featuring whole and half step II V sequences, modulations to the subdominant, as well as occasional third modulations to the key of III or bVI. Pieces such as Tadd Dameron's "Lady Bird" (1947) and "If You Could See Me Now" (1946), as well as Dizzy Gillespie's "Woody'n You" (1943) and "Con Alma" (1956) were no doubt influential in this regard. !2 Coltrane soon progressed to pieces containing larger intervallic leaps utilizing sequential major and minor thirds, highlighted in original

Parkera uważa się powszechnie za najbardziej kreatywnego improwizatora, jaki do tej pory pojawił się w muzyce jazzowej i nie tylko”. Po drugie: „Obcując z postacią Parkera, ma się dziwne wrażenie, że strumień inwen- cji twórczej był u niego zupełnie niezależny od marnej zazwyczaj kondycji życiowej”. Po trzecie: „Bird był w zasadzie samoukiem – jeśli nie liczyć krótkiego epizodu z jakąś orkiestrą szkolną, z której szybko go wyrzucono za brak... talentu”. Po czwarte: „Parker z Gillespiem zmienili już strukturę jazzu na poziomie melodycz- nym, harmonicznym i rytmicznym, tak jak 20 lat wcześniej zrobili to Louis Arm- strong z Kingiem Oliverem w Chicago”.

This progression is fundamental to 3azz harmony, and to its improvised performance. It serves as the foundation for a more rigorous transformational approach, developed in the first two sections here. This approach is easily extensible; the final section suggests a few such extensions. Received September 2016 Volume 23, Number 1, March 201, Copyright © 2017 Society for Music Theory A0.1] Consider the set of chord changes in Figure 1a : the bridge of Jerome /ern and Oscar CammersteinDs 6All the Things 0ou Are.” If we imagine ourselves for the moment to be 3azz improvisers, we might consider approaching this passage in a number of diEerent ways. One approach might be to realize the chord changes as simply as possible ( Figure 1b ), and then to play a melody highlighting these chord tones. Another might notice the eFcient voice-leading implicit in the harmonic structure ( Figure 1c ), and highlight this in our improvisation. A third might instead divide the music into smaller units, each in a single key ( Figure 1d ), and use these units as the basis for an improvised melody. These three techniHues for understanding the changes are all valid, and an experienced musician might move Iuidly among them (and countless others not enumerated here) in the course of an improvisation.
  • The Syntax of Jazz Harmony: Diatonic Tonality, Phrase Structure, and Form

    The Syntax of Jazz Harmony: Diatonic Tonality, Phrase Structure, and Form

    Martin Rohrmeier The Syntax of Jazz Harmony: Diatonic Tonality, Phrase Structure, and Form Abstract The regularities underlying the structure building of chord sequences, harmonic phrases, and combinations of phrases constitute a central research problem in music theory. This article proposes a formalization of Jazz harmony with a generative framework based on formal grammars, in which syntactic structure tightly corresponds with the functional interpretation of the sequence. It assumes that chords establish nested hierarchical dependencies that are characterized by two core types: preparation and prolongation. The approach expresses diatonic harmony,embedded modulation, borrowing, and substitution within a single grammatical framework. It is argued in the second part that the proposed framework models not only core phrase structure, but also relations between phrases and the syntactic structures underlying the main forms of Jazz standards. As a special case, the Blues form relies heavily on the plagal derivation from the tonic and is analyzed in comparison with other analytical approaches to the Blues. The proposed theory is specified to a sufficient level of detail that it lends itself to computational implementation and empirical exploration, and this way it makes a step towards music theory building that embraces the close links between formal, mathematical, and computational methods.

    Four Studies of Charlie Parker’s Compositional Processes Henry Martin NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hp://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.18.24.2/mto.18.24.2.martin.php KEYWORDS: Charlie Parker, jazz, jazz composition, bebop, jazz analysis, “Ornithology,” “Blues (Fast),” “Red Cross,” “My Lile Suede Shoes” ABSTRACT: Charlie Parker has been much appreciated as an improviser, but he was also an important jazz composer, a topic yet to be studied in depth. Parker’s compositions offer insight into his total musicianship as well as provide a summary of early bebop style. Because he left no working manuscripts, we cannot examine his compositions evolving on paper. We do possess occasional single parts for trumpet or alto saxophone of pieces wrien for recording sessions and four Library of Congress lead sheets copied in his hand, and, as an introduction, I show examples of such manuscripts. The article continues by exploring what we can infer about Parker’s compositional processes from those instances where he made revisions to improve or create the final product. In particular, there is one instance of Parker revising a work already completed (“Ornithology”), one instance of Parker combining two pieces by another composer into one of his own (“My Lile Suede Shoes”), and two instances of Parker composing in the studio where we can hear his revisions immediately (“Red Cross” and “Blues (Fast)”). The middle part of the paper explores Parker in these creative seings. Parker’s methods sometimes differ from traditional composition and suggest that we reconsider the usual distinction between improvisation and composition.
