Jazz composition Theory and practice z płytą CD

A culmination of Professor Ted Pease's twenty-five years of teaching jazz composition at Berklee College of Music. When you think of great jazz composers, who comes to mind? Perhaps Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Gil Evans, Thad Jones, or Bob Brookmeyer. This book is about what they (and many others) do, and how they do it so well. Jazz composition has evolved into a disciplined art. That often evidences graet emotional depth and breadth of sophistication. In Jazz Composition: Theory and Practice, Berklee College of Music Professor Ted Pease demistifies the process involved in composing tunes as well as episodic and extended jazz works. Jazz Composition: Theory and Practice will help you to: -Improve your writing in all jazz styles - from blues to fusion - with effective approaches to melody-writing, such as repetition, sequence, motivic transformation, and embellishment. - Create great melodies built on intervallic patterns, guide tone lines, compound lines, antecedent/consequent phrasing, and melodic tension. -Learn to think creatively when working with tonal and modal harmony, covering such harmonic techniques as inversion, pedal point, constant structures, and reharmonization - Arrange and format all parts of song form, including intros, interludes and endings, and backgrounds. - Apply what you have learned to writing for jazz ensembles of any size from solo piano to quartet or quintet, and from saxophone section to big band.
