Various jazz and jazz-related music styles will be explored through demonstration and explanation, active listening and analysis, group discussions, individual rehearsals, and in-class performances. Students will acquire an understanding of jazz and jazz-related music stylistic traits, and will develop an ability to recognize these distinct traits. Throughout the course, students will be actively listening and analyzing many musical excerpts in order to extract significant and unique musical characteristics of distinct jazz and jazz-related styles. These will be relevant to the styles being rehearsed and performed by all of the class bands. Jazz performance practices, especially articulation and improvisation, will be demonstrated and explained, beginning with foundational aspects, and gradually progressing to a variety of advanced practices. Jazz scale resources, chords, chord progressions, and chord substitutions will be explained and demonstrated. Within each musical style studied, music pieces will be chosen by students.

  • Psychoacoustic Foundations of Contextual Harmonic Stability in Jazz Piano Voicings
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 7, no. 2, pp. 156–191 (Fall 2011) Psychoacoustic Foundations Of Contextual Harmonic Stability In Jazz Piano Voicings James McGowan Considerable harmonic variation of both chord types and specific voicings is available to the jazz pianist, even when playing stable, tonic-functioned chords. Of course non-tonic chords also accommodate extensive harmonic variety, but they generally cannot provide structural stability beyond the musical surface. Many instances of tonic chords, however, also provide little or no sense of structural repose when found in the middle of a phrase or subjected to some other kind of “dissonance.” The inclusion of the word “stable” is therefore important, because while many sources are implicitly aware of the fundamental differences between stable and unstable chords, little significant work explicitly accounts for an impro- vising pianist’s harmonic options as associated specifically with harmonic stability— or harmonic “consonance”—in tonal jazz. The ramifications are profound, as the very question of what constitutes a stable tonic sonority in jazz suggests that underlying precepts of tonality function differ- ently in improvised jazz and common-practice music. While some jazz pedagogical publications attempt to account for the diverse chord types and specific voicings employed as tonic chords, these sources have not provided a distinct conceptual framework that explains what criteria link these harmonic options. Some music theorists, meanwhile, have provided valuable analytical models to account for the sense of resolution to stable harmonic entities. These models, however, are largely designed for “classical” music and are problematic in that they tend to explain pervasive non-triadic harmonies as aberrant in some way.1 1 Representative sources that address “classical” models of jazz harmony include Steve Larson, Analyzing Jazz: A Schenkerian Approach, Harmonologia: studies in music theory, no.

  • Brecker and Patterns
    Brecker and Patterns An Analysis of Michael Brecker's Melodic and Instrumental Devices Thesis for the degree of Master of Music Sibelius Academy (Helsinki, Finland) Department of Composition and Music Theory Autumn 1998 - Spring 1999 Ari Poutiainen © Ari Poutiainen 1999 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Brecker and Patterns - An Analysis of Michael Brecker's Melodic and Instrumental Devices ABSTRACT Only a few scientific studies or articles exist on Michael Brecker's improvisational style. The present work approaches Michael Brecker's style through a detailed analysis of his solos in the compositions "Straphangin'," "Nothing Personal," and "Peep." The approach to this analysis is similar to that of which jazz musicians use themselves. The analysis is based on selected audio material and transcriptions. David Baker's "Giants of Jazz" series was applied as a model for the form of the study. The applied theoretical framework of contemporary jazz improvisation is based on David Liebman's "A Chromatic Approach to Jazz Harmony and Melody," and various other works. In this study, the aim was to define and describe certain melodic and instrumental devices which are characteristic of Brecker's expression. In the analysis, attention was given to the melodic devices which are based on the diminished, altered, pentatonic, and augmented scales, and on the superimposed "Giant Steps" chord progressions. For the instrumental devices, the focus of the analysis was on alternate fingerings, multiphonics, and fingering mannerisms. The use of these devices was divided into functional and non-functional. Some of the devices and their usage could not be discussed deeply enough in the three solo analyses alone, and further examples were therefore traced from Brecker's other performances.
