The
Evolution of Solo Jazz
Piano is a study of solo
piano styles developed by
24 of the most
influential solo pianists
from 1900 to the present.
In order to clearly
illustrate the specific
contributions of the
various pianists, Bill
Dobbins composed a theme
based on the well-known
standard All of Me. By
applying the stylistic
approaches of the
different pianists to the
same theme, one becomes
aware of the subtle yet
evocative elements of
each individual style.
Common elements between
Waller, Ellington, Tatum,
Monk and Rowles, Tatum,
Hines and Wilson, Smith
and Ellington, Corea and
Beirach etc., should make
it clear that musical
individuality is largely
the result of the
subconscious emphasis of
some musical elements
over others, rather than
the self-conscious
cultivation of
originality for its own
sake. We sincerely hope
that this DVD may serve
as a stimulus toward the
further study of the solo
jazz piano tradition in
particular and for
creative music in
general.
