What are some of the jazz solos that other musicians and jazz writers consider to be so great? And what makes them great?

In this Fast Track Friday episode of the Learn Jazz Standards podcast, Brent reflects on the week's discussions, focusing on the theme of turning theory into practical musical expression through improvisation. He introduces composition as a powerful tool for jazz musicians to internalize musical language and develop their improvisational skills. By likening composition to slowed-down improvisation, Brent underscores its role in facilitating the creative process and fostering musical growth. He encourages doing compositional exercises to explore musical ideas, apply theoretical knowledge, and track progress over time. Through composition, musicians can not only shape their improvisational vocabulary but also embark on a transformative musical journey, embracing the joy of creative expression and musical discovery.

Led by pianist George Scott Wood, the band at different times featured Max Goldberg, Lew Davis, Ted Heath, Tony Thorpe and others, but the star was reed player Freddy Gardner, whose clarinet, baritone and especially alto solos located him in the forefront of European jazz musicians. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support

He successfuly auditioned for the FAC two years ago and has been flourishing there. He's a great student because he works at it. He listens to this music, he practices, and he takes it seriously.

Every year, the jazz community comes together to commemorate saxophonist Charlie Parker with a series of jam sessions, tributes, tours and lectures.

Tuesday, August 9, 2022 - The North Dakota Department of Commerce is inviting communities to apply for the “Artists on Main Street” program, which offers technical assistance and funding for local art projects. Each year a different community is selected. The first of the 5 planned grants went to Bowman last year. Special contributor Brandi Malarkey went to Bowman to gather interviews about the project for a feature we first aired earlier this summer. Since other communities are now being invited to apply, we thought this would be a good time to rebroadcast that story. ~~~ Tom Isern shares a Plains Folk essay titled “Big History.” ~~~ Prairie Public music host Scott Prebys joins us to preview this year's “Night of Great Jazz” coming up on Wednesday at the Sleepy Hollow Theatre and Arts Park in Bismarck. This year, it's a guitar summit, with three of the region's finest guitarists joining Scott's jazz collective. ~~~ Speaking of music, we have a Tell Tale story from Germans-From-Russia folk singers Joe Gross of Bismarck and John Gross of Napoleon, who recount a family story bearing witness to the power of faith, song and Bravery.

https://rivermontrecords.com/ (Rivermont Records), a Virginia-based label that specializes in early jazz and ragtime, is proud to announce the premiere release of One Step to Chicago, a 14-track album that features an all-star lineup of jazz music legends. Recorded in 1992 and then laid aside until now, the album is the product of legendary producer George Avakian. Avakian brought three generations of jazz giants together in RCA's New York studio to record the exciting music of Frank Teschemacher (a pioneering jazz clarinetist of the late 1920s) and the Austin High Gang. The album features a Who's Who of notable jazz instrumentalists, including pianist/arranger Dick Hyman, clarinetists Kenny Davern and https://www.danlevinson.com/ (Dan Levinson), guitarist Marty Grosz, Grammy-winning bass saxophonist Vince Giordano and nearly a dozen more. http://www.bryanswright.com/wpdir/ (Bryan Wright), the founder and executive producer of Rivermont, says about the album, “This extraordinary recording documents the once-in-a-lifetime meeting of so many jazz greats — all playing in top form and recorded in state-of-the-art sound under Avakian's personal guidance. All-star bands don't always work artistically, but here, the chemistry is palpable. The musicians blend beautifully and sound as if they are having the time of their lives.” https://rivermontrecords.com/products/2260?variant=39963518173245 (One Step to Chicago) was released on July 15, 2022, in deluxe CD and vinyl packages.

Welcome to episode 249 where we have special guest guitarist Matt Warnock from Matt Warnock Guitar to talk jazz and all things improv.

Listen to episode 249 You know, I don't know about you but I have this tendency to always want to learn more and more stuff. Like I learn one jazz improv tool or trick or concept and I just want to go on to the next one because maybe that next one has the answer that I'm looking for to start cracking the code, to start playing the jazz solos that I've always dreamed of.  But sometimes, we actually can just use the tools that we already know, the scale we already know, the chord tones we already know. Whatever it happens to be for you, there are million different ways to just use the tools you already have available to you to create really awesome music Now this is just only one of the many concepts that I talk about with my guest today, Matt Matt Warnock from Matt Warnock Guitar. And we just had a great time talking and there's just so many golden nuggets in this episode, including about his 3 things that he really feels has packed a big punch in his jazz playing and taking him to the next level over the years and kept him really nice and busy. In this episode: 1. Matt's classical training and how that helped him play jazz 2. How to use simple tools like scales you know to begin improvising well 3. How to enjoy the process of learning so you enjoy the benefits of the long game 4. Matt's top 3 most effective things he's practiced Important Links 1. Matt Warnock Guitar and his courses 2.

This famous Christmas Eve session has for years been our Christmas Jazz feature and 2015 is no different. This all-star record date by a band nominally led by trumpeter and Jazz icon Miles Davis contains Jazz that will live forever and has influenced countless players over the years. A true musical landmark. Mr. Davis is paired with three members of the Modern Jazz Quartet which included Milt Jackson on vibes, Percy Heath on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums, who was the MJQ's first drummer. Davis was pleased with the lineup but Prestige Record's head honcho, Bob Weinstock insisted that Thelonious Monk be on piano. Miles at first objected but finally agreed and the addition of Monk to this mix was a touch of magic. Monk was the spice on this musical concoction. The musical chemistry was wonderful here and tonight we hear the four master takes from this session beginning with Milt Jackson's blues, "Bags' Groove" which contains one of Monk's most fascinating solos. Next is a Monk tune called "Bemsha Swing". Following that is the brightest tune of the set in Miles Davis' tune "Swing Spring" and the set ends with the band's interpretation of the George and Ira Gershwin standard "The Man I Love". Great Jazz for the ages and the spirit of Christmas is heard throughout the set. Merry Christmas to all!

A veteran player of both the rock and jazz worlds, David has much to say about his time spent in one of the great Australian jazz fusion bands of the late seventies and early eighties, as well as his passion for the music and making sure audiences come away laughing as well as digging on the music. My huge thanks to Carmen Warrington for arranging this interview with me. Eric Reanimator is back with another Album I Love segment to talk about a couple of albums by beatnik jazz performer Ralph. Who is Ralph? Tune in and find out. Even if you’re not a jazz fan, tune in for the great chats I have with Terry and David and get a feel for the diversity of our selections. Send the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum. If you’d consider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to a friend, I’d be immensely grateful. If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or ten to tune in.

While New York is the place to go for jazz musicians when it comes to jazz fans it doesn't get any better than here in Tokyo. These are the words of James Catchpole, a transplanted Brooklyn native who has lived in Japan for 13 years and documents the many cool jazz joints in Tokyo on his website.  Anthony joined James at the hidden Samurai jazz bar in Shinjuku to talk about jazz in Japan and why he feels that Tokyo is one of the great jazz cities in the world.
