Jazz Suite

Jazz Suite in Color for solo piano is an arrangement of the original Jazz Suite in Color, a trio for clarinet, trumpet, and piano. Now solo pianists can enjoy this exciting mix of jazz styles painted musically with a splash of color. As in the original, there are three movements, each with a distinctive jazz style. The first movement projects a jazzy feeling of celebration and happiness. The second movement is calm and serene, yet depicts the sadness of the blues. The third movement is a happy and carefree ragtime piece. / Piano

Instrument : cello Series : Cello Library Nombre de Pages : 16 'The idea of writing a 'Jazz Suite for cello solo' came out when I tried to imagine how it would have sounded like if one of the baroque masters (Gabrielli, Buxtehude, Bach) had lived in our time and wanted to write a suite of dances. I thought it would probably still keep some of the conventions of the traditional form, like maybe the use of a Prelude to establish the key and the alternation of slow with fast movements. But some things would have definitely been different: the harmonies, for example would probably have been more complex and not always tonal. Also the popular dances used as a workbench for the suite would have been not gigues or Bourees but perhaps latin american or Jazz standards. Well, since the great masters are unfortunately not able at the moment to accept my challenge, I had to write it myself. I hope you will enjoy it. The famous cello player Janos Starker says: Lucio Amanti is a very fine cellist and imaginative composer. His Jazz Suite is an enjoyable mix of jazz and classicism. I much appreciate his work.'

Par NORRIS JEREMY. After the Jazz Suite for Flute and Piano (ED 20922), this Jazz Suite ventures still further into the realms of jazz idiom and many passages – such as the Cadenza in Daydream and the final Allegretto section of the Variations – even resemble Bebop improvisations. The underlying formal structures, in particular ternary form and variations, are nevertheless firmly rooted in the classical tradition. An alternative clarinet part has been included as this instrument shares a similar range to the alto saxophone and is likewise equally at home in both concert halls and jazz clubs. Although the notes are fundamentally the same, the respective parts explore and exploit these instruments’ more effective and comfortable registers through octave transpositions, with the saxophone generally taking the middle range (roughly from a to f’’) whilst the clarinet rises without effort to the higher register an octave above. / Jazz / Date parution : 2014-11-20/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto en Eb [Clarinette en Bb] et Piano

Par CHOSTAKOVITCH DIMITRI. Shostakovich composed a wide variety of music. His music includes Symphonies, String Quartets, Concertos, Sonatas, Film Music and Jazz inspired pieces. In this publication we feature the very famous Waltz No.2 from his “Suite for Variety Orchestra” arranged for guitar quartet by Michel Démarez. Familiar to many as the title music to the movie “Eyes Wide Shut”, Dmitri Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2 – which is better known as Jazz Suite No. 2 – has mysterious and lascivious qualities that call to mind circus or variety music.
