A Manual of Techniques and Possibilities for the Adventurous Improvising Musician. Par KANE DAVID. Sure - everybody has an opinion on how to play ?outside?. But until now, no one has made an in-depth exploration of the commonalities and differences in how the greatest jazz players on the planet have incorporated their inspiring, harmony defying techniques. With Playing Outside the Chord, David Kane invokes a thoughtfully curated selection of transcribed phrases that take the reader beyond the simple mechanics of what is being played and offer revelatory insights into what the players are (or might be) thinking when they play it. It?s a daunting, seemingly impossible objective; yet here it is, beautifully examined, notated, and explained in an accessible way that every musician can understand. 'This book is a treasure trove, full of important information on chromaticism and its usage. From Bach to Schoenberg, Dave covers a lot of ground and the book is very well organized. He specifically addresses the melodic aspect of improvisation, including lines and phrases, rather than the usual emphasis on harmony. What's special is that he explores the ?feeling? and overall effect of the lines on the listener. This book is all you need as a working guide towards understanding the implications of 20th century jazz and classical music.? -David Liebman LEVEL-UP!!! If you?re feeling uninspired, stuck, or limited by your current play, this is the perfect book to help you break those chains, stimulate your creativity, and take your playing and composing in compelling new directions. Enthusiastically endorsed by modern jazz luminaries such as David Liebman and Richie Beirach, Playing Outside the Chord is devoted to melodic phrasing that transcends conventional chord/scale relationships. This exciting technique incorporating the theory and practice of horizontal playing and extended tonality pioneered by jazz titans such as Michael Brecker, Cory Henry, John Scofield, Brad Meldhau, and Jacob Collier is a vital component of the modern jazz performance and improvisation toolbox. Featuring over 200 musical examples gleaned from classic solos, plus 15 extensive transcriptions of legendary performances, this book is skillfully designed to clue you in on the theoretical basis of ?outside? play as practiced by these trail-blazing musicians. It systematically describes each type of technique used, including timing and source considerations, and by doing so unlocks a wealth of modern ideas that offer rich possibilities for the creative improviser. Kane?s insightful treatise on outside playing represents an important expansion of the ideas available to the dedicated student of improvisation. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Etude / Tout Instrument

Lorsque Jean-Marc Déhan et Jacques Grindel, dans les années 80, réalisèrent la collection ' voir et entendre ', celle-ci s'adressait autant aux collèges et lycées qu'aux conservatoires et écoles de musique. Il nous a semblé que cet outil remarquable pouvait, avec quelques ajouts, redevenir un outil pédagogique de tout premier plan.Le parti-pris a été cependant de réimprimer à l'identique les fascicules, mais en les enrichissant d'un court dossier pédagogique, donnant, pour chaque titre, des pistes d'utilisation complémentaires de celles déjà mises en lumière dans les partitions elles-mêmes.Il est possible d'utiliser ces partitions :- pour la lecture de notes -- pour la lecture de rythmes -- pour la dictée musicale -- pour le chant, en faisant chanter et mémoriser les principaux thèmes -- pour la formation de la pensée musicale : les thèmes mémorisés pourront être transposés à l'oreille et donner lieu le cas échéant à des autodictées -- pour l'analyse musicale et l'harmonie, grâce aux analyses fines de J.-M. Déhan et J. Grindel reportées sur la partition -- pour l'histoire de la musique grâce aux textes de présentation -- et, bien sûr, pour l'écoute raisonnée des oeuvres en suivant tout simplement la partition, quitte à faire porter l'audition sur des éléments précédemment indiqués par le professeur.Chaque professeur pourra adapter ces exercices au niveau de ses élèves.Mais ces partitions sont également destinées aux amateurs éclairés pour qui la lecture des clés d'ut dans les partitions d'orchestre habituelles, ainsi que le casse-tête des instruments transpositeurs sont souvent des obstacles rédhibitoires.Souhaitons seulement que cette réédition permette une meilleur connaissance par tous, jeunes et moins jeunes, futurs professionnels ou amateurs éclairés, de quelques oeuvres fondamentales du répertoire.N.B. Après bien des hésitations, nous avons décidé d'indiquer des liens vers des interprétations des oeuvres elles-mêmes et des écoutes complémentaires que nous avons suggérées. Ces choix ont été fonction des interprétations facilement accessibles par Youtube mais ne prétendent pas constituer des modèles. C'est seulement une facilité que nous avons voulu donner à ceux qui n'ont pas à leur disposition une abondante discothèque.
