Interaction, Improvisation, and Interplay in Jazz Performance
offers a new and exciting way to listen to and understand jazz.
When describing a performance, most jazz writers focus on the
improvised lines of the soloist and their underlying harmonic
progressions. This approach overlooks the basic fact that when you
listen to jazz, you almost never hear a single line, but rather a
musical fabric woven by several musicians in real time. While it is
often pragmatic to single out an individual solo line, it is
important to remember that an improvised solo is but one thread in
that fabric; and it is a thread supported by, responded to, and
responsive of the parts being played by the other musicians in the
group.
Interaction, Improvisation, and Interplay in Jazz Performance
explores the process of player interaction in jazz, and the role
this interaction plays in creating improvised music, including:
- jazz improvisation through theory and analysis
- musical roles, behaviours and relationships
- harmony, interaction and performance
Interaction, Improvisation, and Interplay in Jazz Performance
will appeal to students of jazz history, composition, and
performance, as well as to the general jazz audience.
