Jazz/Not
Jazz:
The
Music
and
Its
Boundaries.
Berkeley:
University
of
California
Press,
2012
A
collection
of
essays
about
what
the
word
jazz
means
today
and
how
far
it
has
departed
from
its
original
state.
Is
jazz
yet
another
cultural
product
of
20th
century
that
stopped
developing
and
has
been
put
to
a
side,
or
has
it
broaden
its
boundaries,
spreading
all
over
the
world,
impacting
its
different
cultures
and
music
traditions?
This
work
reveals
various
points
of
views
on
jazz
by
members
of
nations
who
adopted
jazz
and
adjusted
it
according
to
their
own
needs
and
traditions.
Jazz
is
on
the
constant
move
today
and
varies
in
shape
and
definition
while
being
torn
between
jazz
purists
and
jazz
innovators,
both
who
keep
claiming
that
they
own
the
exclusive
right
to
label
jazz
as
a
definitive
entity.

Jazz
Cultures.

The
author
of
this
book,
being
both,
a
jazz
pianist
and
a
musicologist
has
written
a
comprehensive
study
about
identities
that
jazz
musicians,
as
well
as
jazz
audiences
have
been
shaping
over
the
course
of
the
last
century.
Specific
relationships
between
jazz
composers
and
their
works,
as
well
as
their
presentation
to
listeners
both
give
an
insight
to
different
narratives
within
jazz
education,
performance
and
criticism.
This
books
also
discusses
various
types
of
characteristics
among
different
jazz
communities.

Jazz
Matters.
Berkeley:
University
of
California,
2010
Where
and
what
is
jazz
today?
Does
it
have
a
significant
place
in
the
modern
worlds
scene
and
who
are
its
main
disciples?
Jazz
Matters
helps
jazz
re-identify
itself
in
the
society
where
it
seems
to
be
less
and
less
place
for
it.
Through
observing
and
analyzing
jazz
musicians
behavior
patterns,
mutual
relationships
and
thoughts
on
their
professions,
this
book
brings
very
organized
post
WWII
jazz
history
at
a
glance,
but,
unlike
many
other
jazz
history
publishing,
this
one
provides
a
sociological
insight
into
the
means
that
turned
to
be
main
factors
of
jazzs
development
into
an
art
form.
This
book
is
a
capital
work
in
the
field
of
jazz
musicology
which
follows
a
complex
process
of
learning
jazz
language,
from
beginner
to
master.
This
books
insight
into
the
issue
of
overcoming
the
obstacles
on
the
path
of
becoming
a
jazz
musician,
justifies
its
value
primarily
by
an
extensive
musicological
analysis
of
various
sorts
of
jazz
musicians
life
aspects,
but
also
by
numerous
interviews
with
renowned
jazz
musicians
who
presented
their
experiences
from
the
first
hand.
Review
of
both,
the
individual
and
collective
learning
of
improvisation
sheds
light
on
the
difficult
path
of
musicians
in
the
process
of
mastering
jazz,
not
only
as
a
style
but
also
a
specific
aesthetical
expression
of
our
time.

Jazz
history,
its
evolution
through
sub-genres
and
development
of
the
style
are
usually
linked
to
the
United
States
ground
and
culture.
This
volume
represents
one
of
a
few
books
that
explore
a
strong
impact
that
jazz
music
has
been
doing
to
the
European
music
scene
over
the
course
of
more
than
half
a
century.
From
first
jazzmen
such
as
Sidney
Bechet
and
Duke
Ellington
who
introduced
jazz
to
Europeans,
to
some
of
the
most
recent
European
jazz
greats
who
not
only
adopted
jazz
language
as
their
mother
tongue,
but
also
managed
to
establish
their
own
distinctive
styles
that
are
nowadays
commonly
related
to
the
sound
of
European
jazz.
A
missing
link
between
a
blend
of
classical
music
heritage
and
jazz
through
the
cultural
exchange
process
between
the
US
and
Europe
has
been
thoroughly
investigated
in
this
work
and
the
main
disciples
of
European
jazz
have
been
rediscovered
in
an
inspiring
way.

Jazz
Among
the
Discourses.
Durham:
Duke
University
Press,
1995
Whether
jazz
is
yet
another
musical
style
that
emerged
in
20th
century,
or
is
something
more
than
that,
this
partly
sociological,
partly
musicological
study
uncovers
in
the
most
profound
way.
The
evolution
of
jazz
music
from
the
music
for
dance
to
an
art
form.
Its
impact
on
modern
societies,
not
only
in
the
US,
but
also
in
other
worlds
cultures
who
recognized
in
jazz
a
spark
of
freedom
and
a
possibility
for
creativeness,
has
been
an
important
subject
for
debates
in
jazz
world
for
decades,
and
this
book
managed
to
cover
it
from
different
perspectives.
Yet
another
interesting
phenomena
a
common
ground
between
learning
jazz
and
a
foreign
language
at
all
levels
of
musicianship.
Jazz
Among
the
Discourses
successfully
shows
how
jazz
gradually
turned
from
dancing
music
to
a
concept
of
playing
and
looking
at
music
in
the
ways
so
much
different
from
any
other
kind
of
music
today.

The
Imperfect
Art:
Reflections
On
Jazz
and
Modern
Culture.
Oxford:
Oxford
University
Press,
1988
A
thoughtful
study
on
various
aspects
of
jazz
as
a
phenomenon
of
a
modern
society
and
its
impact
on
contemporary
culture.
Over
the
course
of
many
questions
about
the
characteristics
of
jazz
aesthetics,
audience
reaction
to
it
and
different
professional
jazz
musicians
thoughts
about
its
very
essence,
the
author
argued
about
certain
myths
that
got
established
by
the
public,
as
well
as
truths
that
have
been
long
forgotten
or
underestimated.
From
jazz
primitivism
to
jazz
neoclassicism,
this
profound
and
extremely
intriguing
work
manages
to
touch
on
wide
variety
of
issues
about
jazz
and
shows
its
well
deserved
place
on
todays
art
scene.

People
Get
Ready:
the
future
of
jazz
is
now!
Durham:
Duke
University
Press,
2013
This
book
is
a
collection
of
essays
on
jazz
written
by
scholars,
musicians
and
journalists.
These
essays
are
dealing
with
the
emergence
of
modern
sub-genres
of
jazz
such
as
nu-jazz,
acid
jazz,
fusion
and
other
different
form
of
experimental
improvisatory
music.
The
book
also
explores
economical,
political
and
sociological
backgrounds
of
jazz
musicians
lives
and
belief
systems.
A
jazz
musician
who
stylistically
leans
more
toward
experimental
sound,
often
fails
to
get
financially
accomplished
because
of
the
certain
cultural
boundaries
that
society
puts
before
him.
Peope
Get
Ready
delves
into
this
topic
as
well,
trying
to
find
out
recurring
patterns
of
thinking
and
living
the
jazz
way.

Kent.
Counterpoint:
Based
on
Eighteenth
Century
Practice
-4th
ed.
Upper
Saddle
River,
NJ:
Prentice
Hall,
1999
Among
countless
methods
books
on
the
18th
century
counterpoint,
Kents
work
stands
out
from
the
most
because
of
its
wonderful
balance
between
the
big
amount
of
information
it
brings
and
the
simplicity
to
use.
Detailed
explanations,
analysis,
notated
examples
and
exercises
from
the
basic,
species
counterpoint
to
multiple
voice
fugue
are
neatly
organized,
written
in
straight
to
the
point
manner
and
extremely
informative.
Yet
another
quality
is
the
authors
flexibility
to
demonstrate
approach
to
counterpoint,
not
only
in
a
baroque
style,
but
also
in
different
music
epochs,
therefore
showing
the
importance
of
counterpoint
technique
itself,
rather
than
just
a
musical
style
people
usually
connect
it
with.

Mehldau
Collection.
Milwaukee:
Hal

A
collection
of
improvised
solo
transcriptions
by
one
of
the
most
influential
jazz
musicians
of
the
younger
generation,
Brad
Mehldau.
Contains
not
only
masterpiece
versions
of
standard
tunes
as
Nobody
Else
But
Me,
Prelude
to
a
Kiss,
Bewitched,
but
also
the
pianists
original
pieces
like
Sehnsucht
and
Unrequited.
This
volume
represents
a
precious
material
for
the
analysis
of
Mehldaus
unique
contrapuntal
approach
to
jazz
piano.
It
also
serves
as
a
starting
ground
for
delving
into
the
world
of
modern
jazz
piano
that
had
been
influenced
by
European
classical
music
tradition,
and
for
getting
familiar
with
concepts
used
in
that
process.
In
addition
to
notated
music,
Mehldaus
discography
and
biography
have
been
provided,
but
since
the
book
was
published
in
2002,
this
information
are
obviously
not
up
to
date.

A
rare
example
of
a
musicians
programmatic
writing
about
his
own
music
and
thoughts
on
compositional
processes
and
meanings
behind
it.
Mehldau
encompasses
a
wide
range
of
artworks
from
literature,
drama,
music
as
well
as
fruits
from
his
own
artistic
experience
in
these
essays.
Through
them
he
manages
to
familiarize
the
public
with
his
artistic
intentions
and
also
reveal
a
hidden
world
of
his
imagination,
influences
and
innovative
approaches
to
jazz

This
way,
he
adds
a

letting
the

somewhat
better
understand
the

certainly
is.
A

Solo
Jazz
Piano:
The
Linear
Approach.
Boston:
Berklee
Press,
2003
Being
the
only
available
method
book
about
contrapuntal
jazz
piano
techniques
on
the
market,
this
study
encompasses
comprehensive
approach
to
polyphonic
jazz
improvisation,
yet
it
mostly
focuses
on
styles
of
Lennie
Tristano,
Dave
McKenna
and
Bill
Evans.
By
its
content,
it
could
be
said
that
it
was
meant
mainly
for
beginner
through
intermediate
jazz
piano
student,
but
certain
chapters,
especially
those
dedicated
to
motivic
development
and
imitation,
could
prove
challenging
for
even
an
advanced
student.
A
great
number
of
notated
musical
examples,
also
recorded
on
the
CD
that
comes
with
the
book,
make
this
work
even
more
precious
for
anyone
interested
in
improving
their
hand
independence
and
inner
voice
movement
in
the
field
of
jazz
piano.

Its
About
Music:
The
Art
and
Heart
of
Improvisation.
Montrose,
CA:
Glen
Lyon
Books,
2012
A
masterpiece
of
its
own
kind
in
the
field
of
jazz
improvisation.
A
unique
approach
to
the
subject
of
refining
the
art
of
improvisation,
this
hybrid
between
a
personal
statement,
anecdotal
collection,
philosophy
of
music
and
a
method
book
opens
up
a
new
realm
of
unexplored
territory
full
of
intuitive
means
to
overcoming
the
obstacles
in
an
endeavor
to
become
a
master
jazz
musician.
Mr.
Pilc,
being
one
of
the
most
innovative
jazz
piano
players
and
thinkers
of
our
time,
shares
his
own
experiences
that
help
up
and
coming
jazz
musicians
in
their
effort
to
switch
back
on
their
ears
and
primal
senses,
and
put
aside
all
the
theory
and
musical
math
that
modern
jazz
education
insists
on.
Fresh,
organic
and
logical,
yet
at
moments
unconventional
ideas
for
exercises
are
constructed
in
such
a
way
to
help
students
to
feel
the
rhythm
better,
to
breath
life
to
their
improvised
lines
and
direct
them
to
eventually
develop
their
own
unique
voice
in
playing
jazz.
