Many different possibilities for harmonizing the same melody are illustrated and analyzed, using techniques by such influential arrangers and composers as Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Oliver Nelson, Gil Evans, and Clare Fischer. Techniques of melody harmonization, linear writing, and counterpoint for 2, 3, 4, and 5 horns. A chapter on writing for the rhythm section clearly illustrates the techniques commonly used by jazz arrangers and composers. Six complete scores in concert key are ideal for analysis, for playing the horn parts on the piano or for following the performances on the CD. An extensive chapter on form and development deals with extended compositional forms and the use of compositional techniques in writing for small jazz ensembles. A useful discography is included at the end of each chapter.

Jazz Arranging and Composing : A Linear Approach

Dobbins, Bill

Das Jazz Piano Buch"" behandelt fundamentale Techniken und fortgeschrittene Spielweisen der Zeitspanne von Bud Powell bis zur Gegenwart. Der Aufbau dieses Buches ist etwas ungewöhnlich. Anstatt alle Voicings in einem Kapitel und den ganzen Theoriekomplex in einem anderen Kapitel zu behandeln, wechseln sich die Themen im Verlauf dieses Buches ab. Einfachere Sachverhalte schreiten zu komplexeren Techniken fort. Musiktheoretische Fragen werden immer anhand von Transkriptionen und Stücken erläutert, die von Jazzmusikern häufig gespielt werden. Die Auswahl reicht von Standards wie Just Friends bis zu Wayne Shorters ungewöhnlicher und wunderschöner Ballade Infant Eyes. Obwohl sich Das Jazz Piano Buch in erster Linie an Pianisten wendet, erleichtern die visuellen Vorteile, die das Piano bietet, allen anderen Instrumentalisten und Vokalisten den Zugang zur Harmonik des Jazz. Es ist jedoch keine Lehnstuhllektüre, sondern ein Buch, das zum Üben und Erforschen am Piano inspiriert. Aus dem Inhalt: Intervalle und Dreiklänge ein Überblick; die Modi der Durskala und die II-V-I Verbindung; dreistimmige Voicings; sus und phrygische Akkorde; das Erweitern von dreistimmigen Voicings; Tritonussubstitution; Left-Hand Voicings; alterierte Töne in Left-Hand Voicings; Skalentheorie; Skalen in der Praxis; So What-Akkorde; Quartenakkorde; Upper Structures; pentatonische Skalen; Voicings; Stride und Bud Powell Voicings; Viertonskalen; Blockakkorde; Salsa und Latin Jazz; Comping; Üben; Hören; eine ausführliche Diskographie.

Developing a Jazz Language is the sixth volume of Jerry Bergonzi's series, Inside Improvisation. Learning a language requires listening on many levels to the meanings, the sounds, the intentions, and the inflections or nuances of the language. The first chapters of this volume focus on the prerequisites of chord scales, approach notes to chord tones and target notes, scale motives and sequences, and lines. Part two qualifies improvisational techniques into three areas; melodic, harmonic, and sonic (rhythmic devices are the focus of Vol. 4, Melodic Rhythms) and it is designed as a menu of soloing devices from which you can select your personal course of study. Over 100 specific devices are discussed and conceptualized so as to give the improviser more depth of expression and a greater well from which to draw ideas. Among the numerous topics presented are: guide tones, voice leading, chord substitutions, three tonic system for composition, tritonics, hexatonics, tonal expansions, whole tone playing, augmented symmetric scales, double diminished scales, limited range and large range playing, shapes, blues melodies, accents, comping as a soloing device, common tones, articulations, and more. The CD contains 12 standard chord progressions, each played in two different tempos.
