<span style="background-color: white;">Jazz musicians refer to playing “outside” when they test the farthest reaches of tonal harmony in their improvisations. If possible, have a music teacher or student musician demonstrate how “extensions” can be added above simple chords, such as triads, and altered sharp or flat to produce increasingly dissonant harmonies. Jazz soloists developed increasing facility with improvising among these upper harmonic extensions, producing a strange and often disturbing effect to uninitiated listeners. Rhythms might be altered as well. Listen to the following excerpts, and describe moments of the pieces when the musicians play within the expected tonality and moments when they play outside it. Compare these pieces with several others of your choice from previous lessons. Which do you find most interesting? Which do you enjoy the most?</span></div>

This process served a couple of purposes:</span><br />
<div class="medium_text" style="color: #111111; line-height: 16px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. It was an excellent technical workout for the musicians on familiar material, and<br />2. It often frustrated the older, established musicians who might know the original version of the song but were unable to grapple with the more complex version.<br />Here is a classic example of an old standard jazz tune that was rewritten by the bop musicians to challenge and frustrate the less skilled. The original song is called Indiana and the bop version is called Donna Lee<br /><br />I found two examples that use just saxophone to highlight the diferences...</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="medium_text" style="color: #111111; line-height: 16px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />and now the bebop version called Donna Lee<br /></span></span></span></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/95Igw7SBYD8" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Do you notice a difference in the way these two saxophonists played the song? Can you think of examples of artists that have reworked other people's music? What are some of the reasons do you feel that reusing familiar material is so prevalent in music and in other aspects of our culture?

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #111111; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Once you have chosen the subject artist of your interview,</span></span><span style="color: #111111; line-height: 16px;"> prepare 10 questions for the interview.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">The interview will focus on questions such as:</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<ul style="color: #111111; line-height: 16px;">
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">How did you first get involved in music?</span></li>

<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">etc.</span></li>

</ul>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #111111; line-height: 16px;">Once you have selected your artist, your questions will become more specific to him or her.</span></span><br />

Bebop!Bebop music was a complete rebellion from the often repetitive, arranged life of the big band musician. Characteristics of bebop included lightning fast melodies, dissonant harmonies and smaller more flexible instrumentation. The main proponents of this style were Charlie Parker and 'Dizzy' Gillespie. <br />
<br />
Here is the only existing video w/audio of Charlie Parker (along with Dizzy Gillespie). <br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Bebop, cool jazz, and hard bop jazz soloists expanded the jazz vocabulary in the 1940s and 1950s. Their innovations, however, were solidly built upon the work of their jazz predecessors. Listen to the following excerpted trumpet solos. Describe similarities and differences in timbre, phrasing, articulation, use of vibrato, range, dynamics, rhythmic devices, and interaction with other musicians.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Vocalists have always played an integral role in the shaping of jazz. Their moans, cries, bent notes, and timbral shadings have long been imitated by instrumentalists. And vocalists, in turn, have often turned their voices into instruments, improvising new melodies with scat syllables of every variety. Listen to the following examples of vocal jazz. Describe similarities and differences in timbre, phrasing, diction, treatment of the lyrics, use of vibrato, range, dynamics, and interaction with other musicians. Do changes in vocal styles reflect innovations in instrumental jazz and vice versa?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The
Beat writers and poets of the 1940s and 1950s, such as Jack Kerouac and Allen
Ginsberg, were strongly influenced by bebop musicians. Jack Kerouac, in books
such as On the Road, attempted to adapt the rhythms and improvisation of bebop
to prose. In a 1968 interview, poet Allen Ginsberg said that Kerouac “learned
his line ... directly from Charlie Parker and Gillespie and Monk. He was
listening to Gillespie’s ‘Symphony Sid’ and ‘Night in Tunisia’ and all the
Bird–flight–noted things which he then adapted to prose line.” Ginsberg himself
noted that his seminal poem, Howl, was influenced by tenor saxophonist Lester
Young’s “Lester Leaps In.”</span></div>

Paradise, a character in On the Road, remarks, “This is the story of America.
Everyone’s doing what they’re supposed to do.” Kerouac and other Beat writers
saw bebop musicians as rebels and “prophets” that represented the best of
American genius and artistic innovation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

there was Louis Armstrong blowing his beautiful top in the muds of New Orleans;
before him the mad musicians who had paraded on official days and broke up
their Sousa marches into ragtime. Then there was swing, and Roy Eldridge,
vigorous and virile, blasting the horn for everything it had in waves of power
and logic and subtlety—leaning to it with glittering eyes and a lovely smile
and sending it out broadcast to rock the jazz world. Then had come Charlie
Parker, a kid in his mother’s woodshed in Kansas City, blowing his taped–up
alto among the logs, practicing on rainy days, coming out to watch the old
swinging Basie and Bennie Moten band that had Hot Lips Page and the
rest—Charlie Parker leaving home and coming to Harlem, and meeting mad
Thelonious Monk and madder Gillespie—Charlie Parker in his early days when he
was flipped and walked around in a circle while playing. Somewhat younger than
Lester Young, also from KC, that gloomy, saintly goof in whom the history of
jazz was wrapped; for when he held his horn high and horizontal from his mouth
he blew the greatest; and as his hair grew longer and he got lazier and
stretched–out, his horn came down halfway; till it finally fell all the way and
today as he wears his thick–soled shoes so that he can’t feel the sidewalks of
life his horn is held weakly against his chest, and he blows cool and easy
getout phrases. Here were the children of the American bop night.” (p. 241)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A journey to "modern" JazzThe big band era brought jazz to it's highest heights of popularity. Many stars ascended during the big band era (Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra) while other stars were rekindled (Louis Armstrong). Along the way, some of the fundamental elements of jazz were being downplayed. Improvisation was taking a back-seat to group arrangements. Younger musicians, frustrated with the constraints of playing in the big bands, sought a new path...<br />

Here are two poems in which that influence is more easily apparent. The Weary Blues is also accompanied with a video recitation of the poem accompanied by images and a soundtrack of the jazz age. This post has a considerable amount of information and I expect a considerable amount of thoughtful reflection and response. <b>I will be counting your responses as a quiz grade, so substantive responses will earn you higher marks. Your responses should reflect your assimilation of material from all aspects of the course to this point. References to other artists and examples from other readings or recordings will be highly considered.</b><br />

With the trumpet at his lips</div>

Has dark moons of weariness</div>
<div>
Beneath his eyes</div>

Where the smoldering memory</div>
<div>
Of slave ships</div>
<div>
Blazed to the crack of whips</div>
<div>
About his thighs.</div>

Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,</div>
<div>
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,</div>
<div>
I heard a Negro play.</div>
<div>
Down on Lenox Avenue the other night</div>
<div>
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light</div>
<div>
He did a lazy sway . . .</div>
<div>
He did a lazy sway . . .</div>
<div>
To the tune o' those Weary Blues.</div>
<div>
With his ebony hands on each ivory key</div>
<div>
He made that poor piano moan with melody.</div>
<div>
O Blues!</div>
<div>
Swaying to and fro on his rickety stool</div>
<div>
He played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool.</div>
<div>
Sweet Blues!</div>
<div>
Coming from a black man's soul.</div>
<div>
O Blues!</div>
<div>
In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone</div>
<div>
I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan--</div>
<div>
"Ain't got nobody in all this world,</div>
<div>
Ain't got nobody but ma self.</div>
<div>
I's gwine to quit ma frownin'</div>
<div>
And put ma troubles on the shelf."</div>
<div>
Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor.</div>
<div>
He played a few chords then he sang some more--</div>
<div>
"I got the Weary Blues</div>
<div>
And I can't be satisfied.</div>
<div>
Got the Weary Blues</div>
<div>
And can't be satisfied--</div>
<div>
I ain't happy no mo'</div>
<div>
And I wish that I had died."</div>
<div>
And far into the night he crooned that tune.</div>
<div>
The stars went out and so did the moon.</div>
<div>
The singer stopped playing and went to bed</div>
<div>
While the Weary Blues echoed through his head.</div>
<div>
He slept like a rock or a man that's dead.</div>

He wrote short stories, novels, plays and poetry which celebrated the struggles and achievements of African Americans. Often his work was influenced by the rhythms, melodies and themes of jazz music and the culture of jazz that was at it's height in the 20's and 30's. We will be exploring one of his short stories in an upcoming class, but I'd thought we get acquainted with one of his poems.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Today we are going to discuss the contrasts in style of two famous big band leaders: Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Though their styles have contrast, their overall musical genre (Big Band) is the same.</span></h3>

<span style="background-color: white;">Jazz has introduced and expanded upon many innovations in music. One innovation that has endured is the use of slang terminology. You can see a pretty exhaustive list of often used slang terms <a href="http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=1404" style="color: #006600; text-decoration: none;">right here</a><br /><br />So now for the follow-up...</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Why do you think jazz musicians developed this manner of speaking?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">What do you think is the overall intention of slang use?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Do we (or your generation) still utilize slang terms?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Has the use of slang terminology evolved over time?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Care to share any of your favorite slang terms?</span></li>

Jazz has even been a major influence on the writing of important authors and poets. Early in the course, we read the poem <a href="http://ghsjazzhistory.blogspot.com/2013/01/jazz-fantasia.html">"Jazz Fantasia" by Carl Sandburg.</a> In that poem, Mr. Sandburg was trying to express, in words, all the swirling emotions and sounds of Jazz. Other writers have made Jazz a central theme or plot point in their writings. </span><br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /><br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">The materials you need for today's class can be found in the following folder in the Jazz History classroom handouts:</span></span><br />

<b>The unique sounds of Ellington<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This list represents a sampling of some of the many
musicians who passed through the ranks of the Ellington Orchestra. The unique
sounds they created set a standard for artistry that has never been surpassed
in Jazz music.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Harry Carney</b>-
Baritone Sax- A full rich sound, Carney had the longest tenure with Ellington.
He developed a practice of circular breathing in which the player can continue
to blow out through the mouth while inhaling through the nose. It allowed him
to sustain notes indefinitely. “Sophisticated Ladies”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Jimmy Blanton</b>-
Double Bass- Also called the string bass, this instrument was still playing
simple bass parts similar to a tuba until Blanton revolutionized the
instrument. He could improvise like a horn player and create stunning intricate
lines and fills. “Jack the Bear”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Bubber Miley –</b>Trumpet-
Bubber was the originator of the “jungle sound” of Ellington’s music. He
growled into his horn and used a mute to create menacing sounds that became a
trademark. “East St. Louis Toodle-oo”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Tricky Sam Nanton</b>-
Trombone- Sam Nanton took the growling muting effects of Bubber Miley and
transferred them to the trombone. His unique results were an eerie human voice
quality that defies description and must be heard to be believed. “What am I
Here For?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Johnny Hodges- </b>Alto
Sax- Hodges had a uniquely beautiful sound on the alto sax. It was described as
“excruciatingly beautiful” by Ellington. He could bend and slide notes on his
instrument like no other player before him. The results are a wonder to hear. “Passion
Flower”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Cootie Williams- </b>Trumpet-
Cootie could play all styles and had a wide range of sounds for the horn. He
could growl, play muted, play with a big beautiful open horn sound and
improvise. Ellington considered an integral part of the band and would often
compose pieces to highlight his versatility. “Concerto for Cootie”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>William “Cat”
Anderson</b>- Trumpet- Cat Anderson was a high note trumpet specialist. His
dramatic screaming trumpet became a necessity in the big band repertoire for
excitement and power. “Blue Jean Beguine” <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The improvised solo is a cornerstone of jazz. Instrumentalists, accompanied by a rhythm section or an entire band, perform spontaneous solos over chord changes (the harmonic structure of a tune). The extended improvised jazz solo developed, in part, from breaks, or short phrases performed while the band stops for one or more measures.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">Listen to the following excerpts and observe how the soloists play through the breaks. Count the number of beats or measures per break and note the instruments that solo through the break. How does each soloist approach the break? How do the other instruments support the soloist?</span><br />
