Chuck,
There may indeed be some real "teachable moments" in this...would
make students more aware of good performance practice and also
might make for less mundane MIDI renderings as well! Has anyone
authored a "jazz performance practice" text as has been done for
other types of music?
Jim
Hi Jim,
No one has written that book, though I have some things that touch on
the subject - especially accompanying, on the "articles" page of my
web site. You are welcome to have a look. They are printable as pdfs.
I downloaded them eons ago and have told 100,000 of my closest friends to do so
as well.
Dave Berger is the guy to write the part of such a book that applies
to the winds, and he and I could write the rhythm section part
together. All in all, it would suggest contradictions to a lot of
contemporary school learned practice.
...and music would be better off for that.
Cheers...Jim
