Haar-20 Favorite Jazz Saxophone Recordings My Favorite Jazz Recordings By Dr. Peter Bouffard, Lecturer of Guitar Below are twenty of my favorite recordings in no particular order, with the title of the track from each respective album that had the most significant impact on. In many cases, I transcribed all or a portion of the guitar solo or the tune itself from each track. In other cases, the track inspired me to learn the particular tune using the recorded performance as a framework for my own interpretation or arrangement. In my view, all the performances include musical characteristics that I find most appealing and worthy of detailed study and practice: impeccable and precise application of melodic and harmonic vocabulary, style, inflection, rhythmic feel, time, swing, tone production, technical execution, phrasing, fluency, interpretation, conversational interaction, etc. Pat Martino Album: Exit Most Influential Track: “The Days of Wine and Roses” Jimmy Smith w/ George Benson, Ron Carter, Grady Tate and Stanley Turrentine Album: Off the Top Most Influential Track: “The Theme from Mash” Jim Hall and Bill Evans Album: Undercurrent Most Influential Track: “My Funny Valentine” Jim Hall Album: Jim Hall & Red Mitchell Most Influential Track: “Waltz New” Pat Metheny Albums: Rejoicing, Question & Answer, Offramp, Travels Most Influential Tracks: “Blues for Pat,” “Old Folks,” “James,” “Travels,” etc. Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny Album: Beyond the Missouri Sky Most Influential Track: “Two for The Road” Gary Thomas w/ Pat Metheny Album: Till We Have Faces Most Influential Tracks: “You Don’t Know What Love Is” & “Lament” John Scofield Album: Meant to Be Most Influential Tracks: “Chariots” & “Eisenhower” Wes Montgomery Album: Impressions: The Verve Jazz Sides Most Influential Track: “Sun Down” Mike Stern Album: Upside Downside Most Influential Track: “Mood Swings” Paul Desmond Quartet w/ Ed Bickert Album: Like Someone in Love / Live in Toronto Most Influential Track: “Tangerine” Keith Jarrett Album: Standards Live Most Influential Track: “The Old Country” Frank Sinatra w/ The Count Basie Orchestra (Freddie Green) Album: Live at the Sands Most Influential Track: “All of Me” Ella Fitzgerald w/ Joe Pass Album: Ella in London Most Influential Track: “They Can't Take That Away From Me” Joe Pass Albums: Virtuoso: Volumes 1 - 4 Most Influential Track: “Misty” 2 Marc Johnson w/ John Scofield, Bill Frisell, & Peter Erskine Album: Bass Desires Most Influential Track: “Resolution” Edgar Winter w/ Rick Derringer Album: Edgar Winter’s White Trash: Roadwork Most Influential Track: “Tobacco Road” Miles Davis Album: Relaxin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet Most Influential Track: “If I Were A Bell” Chet Baker Album: The Best of Chet Baker Sings Most Influential Track: “I Fall in Love Too Easily” Bill Evans Album: We Will Meet Again Most Influential Tracks: “Five” & “Comrade Conrad” 3.

Jag har transkriberat inspelningar av jazztrios ledda av pianisterna Bill Evans och McCoy Tyner och analyserat hur de förändrar grundmelodier inom jazzen. Jag har systematiserat melodiska och rytmiska förändringar i kategorier och underubriker. Resultatet av forskningen är tänkt att kunna användas som underlag för konstruktion av undervisningsmaterial. Arbetet innefattar även egna inspelningar. Nyckelord: jazz, standards, piano, jazztrio, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner. 2 Innehåll 1.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Guided Tour
    13/14 Season SEP-DEC Ted Kurland Associates Kurland Ted The New Gary Burton Quartet 70th Birthday Concert with Gary Burton Vibraphone Julian Lage Guitar Scott Colley Bass Antonio Sanchez Percussion PROGRAM There will be no intermission. Set list will be announced from stage. Sunday, October 6 at 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre The Annenberg Center's Jazz Series is funded in part by the Brownstein Jazz Fund and the Philadelphia Fund For Jazz Legacy & Innovation of The Philadelphia Foundation and Philadelphia Jazz Project: a project of the Painted Bride Art Center. Media support for the 13/14 Jazz Series provided by WRTI and City Paper. 10 | ABOUT THE ARTISTS Gary Burton (Vibraphone) Born in 1943 and raised in Indiana, Gary Burton taught himself to play the vibraphone. At the age of 17, Burton made his recording debut in Nashville with guitarists Hank Garland and Chet Atkins. Two years later, Burton left his studies at Berklee College of Music to join George Shearing and Stan Getz, with whom he worked from 1964 to 1966. As a member of Getz's quartet, Burton won Down Beat Magazine's “Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition” award in 1965. By the time he left Getz to form his own quartet in 1967, Burton had recorded three solo albums. Borrowing rhythms and sonorities from rock music, while maintaining jazz's emphasis on improvisation and harmonic complexity, Burton's first quartet attracted large audiences from both sides of the jazz-rock spectrum. Such albums as Duster and Lofty Fake Anagram established Burton and his band as progenitors of the jazz fusion phenomenon.
