Rabbit's Blues - The Life and Music of Johnny Hodges (Hardcover): Con Chapman Rabbit's Blues - The Life and Music of Johnny Hodges (Hardcover)

In his eulogy of saxophonist Johnny Hodges (1907-70), Duke Ellington ended with the words, "Never the world's most highly animated showman or greatest stage personality, but a tone so beautiful it sometimes brought tears to the eyesthis was Johnny Hodges. This is Johnny Hodges." Hodges' unforgettable tone resonated throughout the jazz world over the greater part of the twentieth century. Benny Goodman described Hodges as "by far the greatest man on alto sax that I ever heard," and Charlie Parker compared him to Lily Pons, the operatic soprano. As a teenager, Hodges developed his playing style by imitating Sidney Bechet, the New Orleans soprano sax player, then honed it in late-night cutting sessions in New York and a succession of bands lead by Chick Webb, Willie "The Lion" Smith, and Luckey Roberts. In 1928 he joined Duke Ellington, beginning an association that would continue, with one interruption, until Hodges' death. Hodges' celebrated technique and silky tone marked him then, and still today, as one of the most important and influential saxophone players in the history of jazz. As the first ever biography on Johnny Hodges, Rabbit's Blues details his place as one of the premier artists of the alto sax in jazz history, and his role as co-composer with Ellington.

The Wheatstone English Concertina in Victorian England (Hardcover): Allan W. Atlas The Wheatstone English Concertina in Victorian England (Hardcover)
Allan W. Atlas
R6,735 Discovery Miles 67 350 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This is the first comprehensive study of the Wheatstone English concertina and its music, players, and audiences in Victorian England - at its height of popularity. Developed by the physicist Sir Charles Wheatstone about 1830, the instrument quickly found a home on the leading concert stages and in upper-class salons. It attracted such composers as Macfarren, Benedict, Barnett, and Molique, who supplied its repertory with concertos, character pieces, and chamber works, while its two great virtuosos, Giulio Regondi and Richard Blagrove, drew the plaudits from audiences and critics alike. Illustrated with music examples throughout, this study also contains a unique Appendix containing five pieces written specially for the instrument by the composers of the day.

Great Oboists on Music and Musicianship (Paperback): Michele L. Fiala, Martin Schuring Great Oboists on Music and Musicianship (Paperback)
Michele L. Fiala, Martin Schuring
R1,241 Discovery Miles 12 410 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

What do the world's most prominent oboists have to say about their musical ideas, performance techniques, and teaching strategies? Michele L. Fiala and Martin Schuring, themselves skilled oboists, undertook the project of asking twenty-six of them about their musicianship and pedagogy. The results are collected in Great Oboists on Music and Musicianship, which provides a unique window into how these virtuosi of wind instruments think about their craft. Each chapter paints an engaging portrait of a leading oboist that allows them to share-in their own words-their insights on the performance techniques, learning strategies, and career moves that propelled them to their current stature. The captivating prose chapters that Fiala and Schuring composed from the interviews allow each artist's personality to shine through as they convey their hard-won wisdom on topics such as musical interpretation, the relationship between vocal and instrumental music, being a good ensemble player, and warm-up routines. The diverse array of musicians portrayed in this book includes orchestral and solo performers from across North America, Europe, and Australia. Their practical advice will resonate not just with oboists but also with players and teachers of other instruments as they pursue their own musical journeys.

"...this work is likely to become a standard work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken" -Oliver James,Contact Magazine. A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire of Bach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.
