Terri Lyne Carrington, Founder and Artistic Director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, has curated a wide range of jazz compositions written by women composers, from obscure to popular, historic to current, blues to bebop, and beyond in this important collection. These compositions are supplementary and alternatives to the “jazz standard” canon that has served students, teachers and professionals throughout the development of jazz music. The compositions span nearly a century, including Lil Hardin Armstrong's work from 1922 to songs written in 2021 by recent Institute graduates. It features 101 compositions from a remarkable range of acknowledged titans, young visionaries and unsung heroes in jazz: Mary Lou Williams, Alice Coltrane, esperanza spalding, Geri Allen, Maria Schneider, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Dorothy Ashby, Nubya Garcia, Nicole Mitchell and many others. The book includes a 1922 piece by the influential Lil Hardin Armstrong and songs written in 2021 by emerging artists from Carrington's Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. New Standards also celebrates the global world of jazz, from Chilean tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana to Japanese American pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi and other international composers. / Instrument en do / Berklee

« Lorsque les êtres futurs découvriront les artefacts de notre culture, le Jazz Harmony Book se démarquera comme le résumé le plus complet de l'harmonie diatonique moderne utilisée dans le jazz et la musique populaire de cette époque. Ce livre est détaillé, sophistiqué et étonnamment branché. J'ai particulièrement apprécié le chapitre sur le blues ainsi que la façon dont les auteurs ont noté l'effet du placement des battements sur les choix harmoniques. Cette phrase m'a frappé : « Nous pouvons entendre et sentir un accord fonctionner dans un sens lorsqu'il arrive, mais notre interprétation de cet accord peut également s'ajuster rétroactivement ». Le livre regorge de descriptions similaires donnant à ce sujet compliqué une vie propre, au-delà des mathématiques et de la terminologie habituelles. -Dave Liebman
« Le Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony est éminemment lisible et convivial. Les auteurs présentent les principes de l'harmonie jazz et de la théorie des gammes d'accords de manière claire et invitante. ? Keith Waters, pianiste de jazz, théoricien et auteur de The Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-68
« Clair, complet et pratique, le Jazz Harmony Book est en effet une clé bienvenue pour comprendre non seulement la richesse et l'ordre de l'harmonie jazz, mais aussi les nombreux styles musicaux profondément touchés par la large influence de l'harmonie jazz. ? Michael Rendish, président fondateur de l'harmonie, Berklee College of Music
