Graham Collier's radical new analysis of the place of the composer
in jazz is nothing less than a complete reassessment of the
direction in which the music is developing and a powerful argument
for fresh thinking. He takes a detailed look at the music of Duke
Ellington, Charles Mingus and Gil Evans. His views about jazz
composition - jazz happens in real time, once - and about
contemporary composers are clearly and strongly expressed,
controversial and provocative. This book will appeal to lay
readers, especially those who enjoy an argument, as well as
professional musicians and teachers. Musical examples in the book
are linked to the author's website. 'I find "The Jazz Composer" to
be an insightful, intelligent, creative and artful view to the
understanding of jazz composition. It is written and developed for
all interested listeners, the novice as well as the performer, and
shows the way to the deepest artistic level' - Justin DiCioccio,
jazz educator. 'Composers - take heed! ...If you're confident in
your compositional devices - take the challenge to have your
foundations soundly rattled If you're searching for a methodology
to follow or guide you, it could well lie here...Not for the
squeamish . ..prepare to be provoked' - Mike Gibbs, jazz composer.
'Collier ...makes music that speaks directly ...strongly personal
but in no way self-dramatising ...It's reassuring to learn that
when he turns to prose, the same qualities are in place' - Brian
Morton, jazz critic.
