The Evolution of Solo Jazz Piano is a study of solo piano styles developed by 24 of the most influential solo pianists from 1900 to the present. In order to clearly illustrate the specific contributions of the various pianists, Bill Dobbins composed a theme based on the well-known standard All of Me. By applying the stylistic approaches of the different pianists to the same theme, one becomes aware of the subtle yet evocative elements of each individual style. Common elements between Waller, Ellington, Tatum, Monk and Rowles, Tatum, Hines and Wilson, Smith and Ellington, Corea and Beirach etc., should make it clear that musical individuality is largely the result of the subconscious emphasis of some musical elements over others, rather than the self-conscious cultivation of originality for its own sake. We sincerely hope that this DVD may serve as a stimulus toward the further study of the solo jazz piano tradition in particular and for creative music in general. Titles: Part 1: Traditional Styles Scott Joplin * Jelly Roll Morton * James P. Johnson * Willie The Lion Smith * Earl Fatha Hines * Thomas Fats Waller * Teddy Wilson * Duke Ellington * Art Tatum * Meade Lux Lewis * Pete Johnson * Jimmy Yancey * Part 2: Modern Styles Thelonious Monk * Bud Powell * Oscar Peterson * Erroll Garner * Lennie Tristano * Bill Evans * Clare Fischer * Jimmy Rowles * Cecil Taylor * Chick Corea * Keith Jarrett * Richie Beirach.

Die Evolution des Solo Jazz Pianos ist eine Studie über 24 der einflussreichsten Solo Jazz Piano Stile, von 1900 bis heute. Um die spezifischen Beiträge der einzelnen Pianisten deutlich zu veranschaulichen, komponierte Bill Dobbins ein Thema, das auf der Akkordfolge des bekannten Standards All of Me basiert. Durch die Übertragung der stilistischen Eigenheiten auf ein und dasselbe Thema ist es möglich, die subtilen aber trotzdem einprägsamen Elemente jedes Stiles klar zu erkennen. Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Waller, Ellington, Tatum, Monk und Rowles, Tatum, Hines und Wilson, Smith und Ellington, Corea und Beirach etc. veranschaulichen, dass musikalische Individualität größtenteils das Ergebnis unbewusster Bevorzugung bestimmter musikalischer Elemente ist, und nicht die Kultivierung der Originalität um ihrer selbst willen. Wir hoffen aufrichtig, daß diese DVD das Interesse am Solo Jazz Piano aber auch an kreativer Musik im allgemeinen anregt. LEHR-Programm gemäß § 14 JuSchGTitles: Teil 1: Traditionelle Stile Scott Joplin * Jelly Roll Morton * James P.

As aspiring fingerpicking guitarists started expanding their horizons from folk, blues, and ragtime in the 1970s, it was only logical to look towards early jazz tunes as a vast source for new possibilities. For one thing, they could follow the same evolutionary path from ragtime to jazz that had been taken by pianists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Harlem stride players like James P. Johnson and Fats Waller. These musicians all composed in a variety of styles, but their most ambitious piano solos expanded on the classic ragtime format developed by the likes of Scott Joplin, James Scott, and Joseph Lamb, using several strains that usually changed keys at least once. Morton, the self-proclaimed inventor of jazz, would record versions of tunes like King Porter Stomp and The Original Jelly Roll Blues that are similar to straight ragtime performances, and others where there is lots of room left for embellishment and jazz improvisation. The present collection is a bonanza for guitarists who want to tackle advanced arrangements along the lines of ragtime but featuring jazz age harmonies from the playing of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, WC Handy, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and other early jazz legends. The 32 arrangements included are by a wide assortment of guitarists including Ernie Hawkins, Pat Donohue, Lasse Johansson, Duck Baker, Ton Van Bergeyk, Sandy Shalk, Steve McWilliam, and Dorian Henry. Titles include: Oh, You Beautiful Doll, I’ve Got The Blues, High Society, St. Louis Blues, Davenport Blues, Poor Butterfly, Dixie Jass Band One-Step, Memphis Blues, Big Foot Ham, Grandpa’s Spells, The Original Jelly Roll Blues, Midnight Mama, Milenberg Joys, Fizz Water, Back Home in Indiana, Sweet Georgia Brown, Red Wing (An Indian Intermezzo), There’ll Be Some Changes Made, Way Down Yonder In New Orleans, Charleston, Where The Morning Glories Grow, Limehouse Blues, Susie (of the Islands), I Need Some Pettin’, Weather Bird, Cornet Chop Suey, Kansas City Stomps, King Porter Stomp, Jubilee Stomp, Take It Easy, If I Had You, Moonlight Serenade
