Sawdust Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Of course! I'm going to conduct this as a group masterclass, so anyone who's interested is welcome to participate. Thanks for that!, I think a lot of people appreciate the fact that you're willing to take on more than one student, including me, I'd love to learn more about Jazz.

Idyllic Shepherd Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'd like to note that classical composers did as well do improvisation, it wasn't only limited to the African Heritage. ?=) P.S. I heart Strayhorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdust Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 La Vie En Rose is pretty inspirational especially the trumpet solo at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjessome Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'm glad you guys appreciate this stuff. So many musicians - jazzers included - are quick to dismiss early jazz as 'hokey' and dated, but Louis et al were playing some hip scraggy back then. There was something serious going on in the interaction and spontaneity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Wonderful work you're doing here, Robin. You should publish it as an e-text summary when you're all done. Meanwhile, I shall wait patiently for the (hopefully prominent) mention of Take Five. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_the_sane Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nice, I haven't explored bebop much, look forward to listening to these.... musicians using complex reharms and melodies to confuse newcomers and discourage lesser talented musicians who had trouble navigating the difficult terrain. Thats...interesting:mellow: What a trumpet:w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjessome Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 [re: musicians using complex reharms and melodies to confuse newcomers and discourage lesser talented musicians who had trouble navigating the difficult terrain] Thats...interesting:mellow: Yeah, guys would come from miles around to find late-night jam sessions to try and 'cut' other players. These 'cutting contests' served as rite of passage ceremonies; could you hack it or did you get cut up by another player better than you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manossg Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Robin, these lessons are very informative and welcome. You are offering an excellent service to this community. You could go into more depth for each of these...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjessome Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 You could go into more depth for each of these...? I guess what I'm trying to do is offer an overview and open a few ears to jazz. I will likely also start an in depth look at the major innovators for each instrument? Could be fun... WHERES MY MONK? Sorry dude...I lump Monk and Mingus into pre-free-jazz, and will get into them NEXT TIME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manossg Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Open a few ears to jazz? A difficult endeavor... an in-depth look would be awesome! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
