Jazz ist Rhythmus und Improvisation. Diese Anleitung will den Weg weisen, wie sich jeder das Improvisieren aneignen kann. Von der einfachen Ubung bis zum vollendeten Chorus sind alle Schwierigkeitsgrade berucksichtigt. Daruber hinaus konnen zwei oder mehr Spieler verschiedener Instrumente sich durch gemeinsames Uben mit der Kollektiv-Improvisation vertraut machen. Fur diesen Zweck weisen die Ubungen gleicher Nummer bei allen Instrumenten dieselbe Harmoniefolge und dieselbe (klingende) Tonart auf. Der Erfolg wird sich einstellen, wenn die Besonderheiten des Rhythmus, die Regeln der Melodiebildung und die harmonischen Grundlagen des Jazz in den Schriften Geschichte und Rhythmus und Harmonielehre aus der JAZZ-STUDIO-Reihe beachtet werden. - Die Melodiensammlung Old Folks at Home bietet zusatzlich fur das Uben der Improvisation vierzig bekannte Songs und Spirituals.

The guide tones are the essential or defining notes for each given chord type.

Dedicated to Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinet, New York PhilharmonicClarinet Duration: 5'30 Composed: 2020 Published by: Subito Music Publishing PROGRAM NOTE: The year 2020 has definitely been a very challenging year with many upheavals. During this time of the COVID-19 health crisis, wearing masks, and high racial tensions, I decided to compose four short solo woodwind works for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, which represent the core woodwind section in an orchestra. I was inspired to compose these short pieces after I first heard Igor Stravinsky's three short pieces for clarinet, which totals a little more than four minutes in duration. I thought that it would be nice to highlight and honor my African-American male colleagues in the orchestral music world. I wanted to celebrate the fact that they are the principal player in the section of their respective orchestras. The short pieces are as follows: Principal Brother No. 1 for flute solo for Demarre McGill, Principal Flute of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Principal Brother No. 2 for oboe solo for Titus Underwood, Principal Oboe of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Principal Brother No. 3 for clarinet solo for Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, and Principal Brother No. 4 for bassoon solo for Bryan Young, Principal Bassoon of the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra. These works all begin with notes that are representative of their name; D for Demarre, B for Titus (ti in solfège starting on C), A for Anthony, and Bb for Bryan. There is also a rhythmic figure in the opening measures of each piece, which represent the utterance of their names. All four of these works are rhapsodic in nature with elements of improvisation. - James Lee III.
