  • Analytic, Descriptive, and Prescriptive Components of Evolving Jazz: a New Model Based on the Works of Brad Mehldau
    Analytic, Descriptive, and Prescriptive Components of Evolving Jazz: A New Model Based on the Works of Brad Mehldau Mark Edward Baynes An exegesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts The University of Auckland 2015 ii Abstract Jazz has steadily evolved from its inception in the late 19th century to the present. As is the case for other genres, musicological analytic research on jazz evolution has lagged behind its practice; consequently, there is a paucity of in-depth descriptive and analytic research on the music of recent innovators. Among the most recent examples of this evolution, the works of Brad Mehldau as a solo/ensemble pianist and as a composer arguably embody some of the most compelling innovations in the field. Non-academically oriented jazz writers and fans have consistently assigned these works vanguard status, but Mehldau’s output has not yet been sufficiently examined to prescribe performance methods. This exegesis contains (1) descriptive analysis of improvisation contained within a broad cross-section of Mehldau’s music; (2) definition of a new analytical lexicon derived from a holistic study of consonance, dissonance, and research into perceived motivation in music; and (3) prescriptive musical tools relating to consonance and dissonance that have informed the researcher’s performance. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my special thanks to Dr David Lines, Associate Professor W. Dean Sutcliffe, Dr Davinia Caddy, Kevin Field, Dr Mark Kramer, Gary Burton, Jo Shum, Steve Harvie, Alex Freer, Tom Dennison, Dixon Nacey, Nick Marsh, Jason Orme, Chrissie Hart, Hadyn Godfrey, Chris Mason-Battley, Phil Broadhurst, Kim Paterson, Tom Rainey, Mike Booth and Stephen Morton-Jones.

  • Brad Mehldau Trio Brad Mehldau, Pianoforte Larry Grenadier, Contrabbasso Jorge Rossy, Batteria
    lunedì 9 settembre 2002 ore 21 Teatro Regio Brad Mehldau Trio Brad Mehldau, pianoforte Larry Grenadier, contrabbasso Jorge Rossy, batteria In collaborazione con Centro Jazz Torino Brad Mehldau ha iniziato gli studi classici di pianoforte a soli sei anni, dedicandosi poi completamente al jazz. Il suo vero lancio nel mondo internazionale arriva con il tour mon- diale come membro del quartetto Redman, con cui registra MoodSwing. Subito dopo arrivano i suoi album Introducing Brad Mehldau e The Art of Trio, volume One, che riscuotono un immediato ed entusiastico consenso da parte della critica americana; nell’album Elegiac Cycle del 1999 Brad giunge a confrontarsi solo con il suo strumento, mentre nell’ultimo, The Art of Trio: Back at the Vanguard, ritorna insieme ai suoi compagni d’avventura, Larry Grenadier e Jorge Rossy, alla configurazione del trio. La sua caratteristica è quella di fon- dere in un unico, inimitabile stile, la raffinatezza di Lennie Tristano, la creatività di Keith Jarrett e la coralità della polifo- nia di suggestione bachiana, con la sua tecnica formidabile, in cui la “sinistra concertante” non si limita all’accompagna- mento, ma offre costantemente un vero e proprio dialogo con la linea melodica principale, creando spunti sempre nuovi e dando un senso polifonico alla composizione. Larry Grenadier è nato a S. Francisco nel 1966 e si è lau- reato in Letteratura Inglese nel 1989 a Stanford. Ha suonato in tournée e in sala di incisione con i chitarristi John Sco- field e Pat Metheny, con Charles Lloyd, Andy Ezrin, Chick Corea, Lea DeLaria, e ha ricevuto grandi consensi dalla cri- tica per le sue esibizioni in trio con Brad Mehldau Jorge Rossy è nato a Barcellona dove ha iniziato gli studi, proseguiti poi alla Berklee School di Boston dove ha suo- nato con Joshua Redman e Danilo Perez; attualmente è con- siderato uno dei più brillanti batteristi della scena americana jazzistica e contemporanea.

  • Joshua Redman
    JOSHUA REDMAN Joshua Redman is one of the most acclaimed and charismatic jazz artists to have emerged in the decade of the 1990s. Born in Berkeley, California, he is the son of legendary saxophonist Dewey Redman and dancer Renee Shedroff. He was exposed at an early age to a variety of musics (jazz, classical, rock, soul, Indian, Indonesian, Middle-Eastern, African) and instruments (recorder, piano, guitar, gatham, gamelan), and began playing clarinet at age nine before switching to what became his primary instrument, the tenor saxophone, one year later. The early influences of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley and his father, Dewey Redman, as well as The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police and Led Zeppelin drew Joshua more deeply into music. But although Joshua loved playing the saxophone and was a dedicated member of the award-winning Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble and Combo from 1983-86, academics were always his first priority, and he never seriously considered becoming a professional musician. In 1991 Redman graduated from Harvard College summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in Social Studies. He had already been accepted by Yale Law School, but deferred entrance for what he believed was only going to be one year. Some of his friends (former students at the Berklee College of Music whom Joshua had met while in Boston) had recently relocated to Brooklyn, and they were looking for another housemate to help with the rent. Redman accepted their invitation to move in, and almost immediately he found himself immersed in the New York jazz scene.
