While many books chronicle the history of jazz few are both designed for classroom use and follow jazz's evolution to the modern day. But by speaking to the student musician veteran performer and educator David Lee Fish has created uncommon opportunities for general music teachers to relate the work of the jazz masters their instruments and their musical achievements to popular music and today's jazz styles. Starting with the origins of jazz Dr. Fish traces the genre's history as it evolved from ragtime in the clubs of New Orleans. Each of the book's 15 chapters covers an era in jazz history by focusing on the people who shaped the music from Louis Armstrong CharlieParker Dizzy Gillespie Miles Davis Duke Ellington Benny Goodman Ornette Coleman John Coltrane and Jaco Pastorius to the greats of today like Wynton Marsalis Joshua Redman Pat Metheny and more. Each chapter also includes a printed music example tracing the evolution of the music offers suggested listening and contains a brief list of historical events that helped shape the society in general (making this book a useful text for cross-curriculum study). · Covers jazz from past to present · Written for young musicians in a plain style that avoids jargon · Printed music examples and suggested lessons help teachers explain the music in a classroom · A separate teacher handbook offers lesson plans and classroom activities · Streaming audio examples at MusicAlive.com · Longer and priced lower than other classroom books covering similar material

Pat Metheny is one of the most critically acclaimed commercially successful and musically significant artists of the last 50 years. He has not only revolutionized his instrument but also changed the face of jazz itself.In 2007 composer arranger and performer Richard Niles wrote and produced a three-part series of in-depth interviews for the BBC titled Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life. This book is comprised of these never-before-printed interviews and discussions with Metheny whom Niles has known and worked with since 1974. In this series of intimate in-depth interviews Methenyreveals why he was driven toward music with astratospheric drive and dedicationuncovers the inner workings of his creative mind showing step by step how he set and achieved each of his own demanding goalsdescribes his methodology as a guitarist improviser and composerdemonstrates his concepts and methodologies on the guitar. Niles has transcribed these unique musical performances for the book.Some of Metheny's closest colleagues including Lyle Mays Gary Burton Jack DeJohnette John Patitucci Metheny's brother Mike and the late Michael Brecker have contributed to the book which also includes numerous photographs and a discography.

Imagine someone who has worked as an international saxophonist, an educator, a technician, a consultant, and as a designer, and you can imagine Peter Ponzol. For the first time, Peter offers details from his famous Saxophone Workshops. Learn about: ' Maintenance ' Reeds ' Mouthpieces ' Ligatures ' Sound ' Flexibility This exciting and informational pocket book will be a much needed addition to your musical library! Convenient pocket-sized book - 3.5 x 5.5 - perfect to toss in your gig bag! 64 pages. Peter has been around saxophones for decades, doing it all from manufacturing horns to reeds to mouthpieces. As well, he is a seasoned player. What he discusses in this book is coming from one of the sources-read carefully! - David Liebman, Sax artist/ author/ clinician. Read this review from Sax On The Web: The information in this book is right up SOTW's alley, with answers regarding reeds, necks, mouthpieces, saxes, maintenance, and the like. I would assume that the number of redundant threads started could be reduced almost in half simply with a reading of this book and those owning it could refer back to it at their leisure, as needed. And there is enough info in this book which contradicts some of our SOTW urban legends to make an episode of MythBusters. If you catch the right posts at the right time, much of the info in this book is already posted here on SOTW. But you have to see it and if hunting for it, you have to find it. OTOH it's all conveniently gathered and organized here in this primer - plus more. There are suggestions such as replacing the neck cork once or twice a year, which I would, if posting a response, say is not necessary. But here's the difference. Many of us on the forum are experienced musicians but few have the experience and depth that Ponzol has. We can write with credibility - Ponzol writes with authority. And this is based on decades not only as a top-echelon player, but as a successful and innovative sax, neck and mpc designer. The book is a 61 page pocket reference booklet which, in addition to topics mentioned above, include thoughts on ligatures, sound and flexibility. It is based on items of interest asked by attendees at workshops he has given over the years, hence the title. He begins by pointing out that at these workshops one of the first things he does is look at the condition of attendees' equipment with the observation that at least 90% of them need some kind of work and adjustments. What follows in the book's 61 pages are recommendations generated by this observation. Included are interesting comments such as: aging store-bought reeds by letting them sit for several years is fairly useless since the aging process stops once the bark has been cut away from the reed; not earth-shattering but interesting and certainly myth debunking. Again something that fits right in with many of the conversations on this forum. Interesting thoughts follow regarding the future of natural cane reeds, or how to select and get the most from your reeds - things I wouldn't think of like sanding the heel of your reed. SOTWers might also get a kick out of, and relate to, the title of his section on mouthpieces, 'Now the Fun Begins'. There are also interesting side comments we don't often hear like: in the 70s so many young players like Ponzol were trying to get Trane's recorded sound by working on metal Links because that's what they saw in photos and yet, Trane often recorded with hard rubber mpcs because, in Trane's opinion, it didn't have as much spit in the sound for him. It's interesting how some things come around back to you. There are two exercises I recommend to my students and have recommended on the forum regarding volume and embouchure control and flexibility. I've never heard anyone else recommend these exercises and yet here they are in Peter's book. Then it hit me. The only other one I know who uses them is a former teacher of mine and I remembered that years ago he said he had had some lessons with Ponzol. So 'the circle is unbroken' LOL. I would highly recommend it for beginners and intermediates, as well as for more advanced players to recommend to their students. It has made me re-think even some of my most basic assumptions regarding equipment and maintenance, which has made the read well worth it. I wish every SOTW newbie would start out their Forum time with this booklet at their disposal.

One-act play by Peter Kien-In September 1942 Viktor Ullmann was interned in the ...(+)
One-act play by Peter Kien-In September 1942 Viktor Ullmann was interned in the concentration camp of Theresienstadt where he composed the opera Der Kaiser von Atlantis [The Emperor of Atlantis] on a libretto of Peter Kien a fellow prisoner in 1943.This opera was rehearsed by a chamber ensemble founded with the permission of the SS but its first performance was prohibited after the final rehearsal. The autograph of the score only survived because shortly before his deportation to Auschwitz in 1944 Ullmann handed it together with the libretto to a friend who was able to save both manuscripts at the end of the war.The opera is a parable of a cruel emperor whose senseless war isclaiming many lives. Death puts an end to the chaos by refusing his duty - now everyone lives for eternity. The king becomes disempowered but the people long for a release from the pain of life. Only the voluntary death of the emperor can restore death's original purpose. The libretto is a vigorous take on the Third Reich and more particularly the concentration camp of Theresienstadt through the means of a mystery play. The music with its numerous references to jazz and then current light music sometimes by direct quotation puts the composer in the role of political commentator following the tradition of topical opera in the 1920's.

680160687008. Jazz
luminary Ali Ryerson
traces a unique and
personal artistic path in
this solo work. With an
engaging form reminiscent
of jazz charts (a dreamy
introduction, a catchy,
swinging head, and
improvisatory-feeling
12-bar choruses),
Ryerson’s music pays
deeply-felt homage to
Charlie Parker and other
jazz greats, while
maintaining an organic
connection to the lineage
of unaccompanied woodwind
music in the classical
tradition. Classical
players will gain insight
into jazz harmony,
rhythm, and expression as
they learn this knockout
recital piece, while
Ryerson fans in the jazz
world gain an image of
her musical mind in this
fully-notated
composition. Jazz
Dream, a jazz-inspired
solo flute piece, was
commissioned by Claudia
Anderson for her Glass
Ceilings project. Claudia
once told me that playing
jazz flute has been one
of her musical ambitions.
I daresay her performance
of JD could very well
break a glass ceiling of
her own!Moved by the
events of 2020, composing
Jazz Dream became my way
of honoring my musical
heroes from the Black
community, namely the
jazz musicians who
created this music and
truly broke glass
ceilings. As jazz shares
its origins with the
blues, both genres having
originated in the
African-American
community, I decided on a
12-bar blues form as the
framework for the
piece.The opening theme
gently draws us into a
dream-like state, with a
melody in slow motion and
lines that linger. When
the REM cycle kicks into
gear, there’s an abrupt
rhythmic shift that leads
straight into a
swingin’ blues.
Idiomatic jazz rhythms
abound, with blue notes
galore – the tension
notes that virtually
define the sound of both
the blues and jazz (i.e.
the flatted third, fifth,
and seventh notes of a
scale in place of the
expected major
intervals).After several
groovin’ choruses of a
12-bar blues in B(, often
played as if the soloist
is improvising, the blues
modulates to the key of
E(, and as a tribute to
the great Charlie Parker
(AKA Bird), I
harmonically suggest the
more complex set of bebop
changes that Parker
introduced in his
composition, Blues for
Alice. Often referred to
as Bird Changes or Bird
Blues, instead of the
basic I - IV – V chord
progression commonly used
in the blues, Parker used
a series of sequential
ii-V progressions (and
secondary ii-V
progressions). With the
addition of some tritone
substitutions, a
chromatically descending
bass line deftly replaces
the original I-IV-V root
movement. This is the
harmonic background I was
hearing as I wrote this
particular chorus.After
my 12-bar nod to Bird’s
changes, the introductory
dream theme returns, now
in tempo and with a
straight-ahead swing
feel. Variations on this
theme follow, again to be
played as if improvising,
with the soloist once
again bringing their own
personality into the
performance. This section
builds to a climax, the
music pauses, then
modulates to C, with a
return to the original
blues theme. The energy
and groove increase
through the final
flourish, where a blues
line ends on the
idiomatic flatted
fifth. $9.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

Chuck Traeger Music Pro
Guides. String
musicians, know only
this: everything is
vibrating. The movement
of the spheres? A guru's
cryptic musing?
Hypersensitivity to plate
tectonics? Not quite.
This is the briefest
possible distillation of
Trager's Principle, which
states, “When a string
instrument is being
played, everything is
vibrating, from the top
of the scroll to the tip
of the endpin.” This
simple formula, the
purest distillation of
master luthier Chuck
Traeger's lifetime of
learning, holds the key
to configuring your
instrument to your
specifications. It also
forms the crux of his
third and final book:
String Instrument Setups:
10 Setups That Will Make
Your Instrument Louder,
Better, and Easier to
Play. At the height of
the Big Band era,
Traeger, a double
bassist, performed
alongside a veritable
who's who of New York
jazz musicians including
the likes of Louie
Armstrong and Sidney
Bechet. In was in this
capacity – as Charlie
Traeger, one hip cat and
a regularly frustrated
client of NYC's
instrument repair shops
–that he began his
pursuit of sonic
perfection. In 1969,
satisfied with his
abilities but devoted to
constant
self-improvement, he
opened his first repair
shop. Before he knew it,
his reputation was
preceding him, and he
found himself handling
the instruments of school
band novices and the New
York Philharmonic alike.
On his seventieth
birthday, Traeger retired
from musicianship and
devoted himself to
comprehensively
documenting all he had
learned about his craft.
Two decades later,
shortly after he put the
finishing touches on
String Instrument Setups,
Chuck Traeger passed away
on November 9, 2016.
Scarcely a month had
elapsed since the death
of his beloved wife,
June, to whom he was
married for over sixty
blissful years. Albeit
with a heavy heart, we at
Hal Leonard Books are
proud to present this
remarkable man's parting
gift to generations of
current and future
musicians. String
Instrument Setups is the
culmination of forty-five
years of acoustic
research involving
Trager's old standby, the
double bass, and, in
turn, any string
instrument with a
moveable bridge and a
moveable tailpiece, or
one that can be made
moveable. Armed with this
book, we're confident
that the average musician
can enter almost any
string instrument maker
or repair shop in the
world (the exception
being a shop that has
already read String
Instrument Setups), ask
for their best repair or
restoration, then make
that instrument sound
louder, better, and
easier to play, every
time. This is neither
braggadocio nor
hyperbole; rather, it's
the confidence instilled
by one man's extensive
research, wholehearted
devotion, and firm belief
in the sacred bond
between instrument and
musician. After reading
String Instrument Setups,
we're sure you'll feel
the same. $25.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

year samba schools hold
events, the most
important being the
annual spectacle known as
Carnival. The groove here
alternates between samba
and partido alto rhythms.
As the music plays, you
can almost see the
dancers in their
elaborate, colorful
costumes. The chart has
been meticulously crafted
to ensure that the rhythm
section faithfully
captures authentic
Brazilian grooves. Solo
space is reserved for
alto sax and trumpet, and
a guitar chord chart by
Jim Greeson is included.
