lionel grigson a jazz chord book
by Lionel GrigsonThis innovative text can be used by performers, students, and teachers. Six classic Bird recordings (Au Privave, Scrapple From The Apple, Moose The Mooche, Onrithology, Blues For Alice, and Confirmation) are transcribed and analized. Also included are novice piano parts, including simple chord voicings, that non-pianists can easily play. Bb and Eb parts are included as sepatate pull-out booklets. Text is in English, French, and German.
In another dialectical reversal, what begins as a convenient mechanism to facilitate the uncreative mimicking of existing commercial material, thereby reinforcing the hierarchy between professional artist and amateur imitator, turns out to have the potential to begin to erode the entrenched rupture in Western music between composer and performer and re-establish the long-since extinct tradition of creative performance, but this time on a collective basis. It is of course in jazz that this potential has been exploited most fully, but it is present to a degree in any situation where musicians are required (or permitted) to devise elements of what they contribute to an ensemble from a series of chord symbols, written or memorized. 2ff7e9595c
