    620 Words  | 3 Pages

    Edward ‘Duke’ Ellington, a name synonymous with jazz, is considered still to one of the most influential Big Band Swing composers and arrangers. Ellington identified himself as a composer and arranger primarily and then a musician, although he played in bands before becoming an arranger. Ellington’s work and arrangements were instrumental in shaping Big Band Swing and helped to create the longevity of this sound. Ellington learned to lead a band and arrange pieces when he formed his first band, the Washingtonians. Under Ellington’s guidance the band slowly increased in size and popularity and once he began touring he did not stop for almost fifty consecutive years.

It seems that a staple part of being a musician is involvement with drugs or alcohol; Chet Baker had his heroin addiction, along with many others; Charles Joseph Bolden had troubles with alcoholism. As the start of the new century dawned, it marked the golden era of Bolden’s band. He was famous for his improvisation, fusing marching-band style, blues, ragtime, and spiritual Black music (Charles “Buddy” Bolden Creator Charles “Buddy” Bolden National).

With its raw sound and scrappy roots, one cannot help but feel life head-on whilst witnessing players produce such a sound right before their eyes. Its origins and arch are a product of the United States’ national culture and identity.

  • Edward Kennedy: Duke Ellington

    339 Words  | 2 Pages

    Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington was a phenomenal bandleader and composer, who rose to fame by pioneering jazz, a style of music that has stood the test of time today. It is evident that the theme of the biography, “Duke Ellington: Bandleader and Composer,” written by Ron Frankl, is that Duke Ellington has left behind with him a long lasting legacy on the musical style of jazz. For instance, text states, “Today, his majestic name still reigns over the jazz world as surely as it did a half century ago” (Frankl 105). It is obvious that the author means to state that Ellington has a fantastic legacy, even lasting today, thus supporting my thesis.

    Jazz is most often thought to have been started in the 1920s as this explosive movement, but that is in fact not the case. Starting in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century many African American musicians have started to explore their taste in improvising, and where better to do that than New Orleans (Anderson). Before the 1920s these jazz musicians have already been going around sharing the unique sound, but up until then, jazz had remained majorly in New Orleans. Interestingly during this period, a common jazz band would consist of a cornet, a clarinet, a trombone, and a rhythm section when at this period of time the clarinet is not commonly associated with being a jazz instrument, it moved into being the saxophone rather.

  • Contemporary Jazz Composition

    378 Words  | 2 Pages

    The phenomenon of contemporary jazz composition is not well represented in jazz literature and academic sources. Although composers in this genre have shown an enormous development and a clear evolution in terms of style, form, technique and orchestration in the last forty years, there is little scholarly material in print on the subject. With the culmination of the swing era and the near-disappearance of the big bands, jazz composition morphed rapidly leaving almost no trace in academic writing of its evolution, more evidently since the 1960’s. Ron Miller states, “traditionally, a jazz composition was an arrangement for big band that was composed by the arranger. Most of the earlier jazz composition textbooks (and there were few) took that approach.”

  • The Concert Band Analysis

    Omar Gonzalez One of the most beautiful sounds a human being will ever hear is that of a finely tuned concert band. The lovely sounds that come out of instruments played by fifty or so musicians who are precisely in tune and have practiced their part can be appreciated by even the mechanical engineer or the trash collector who somehow manages to split your trash can in half or leave it rolling half a mile down the street. Although it seems obvious that to reach that level of artistry one must practice at least weekly, somehow there are people that believe the human ear can withstand the screeching of a dying cat through a megaphone larger than a commercial cruise ship . Yes, these are the ones that do not practice. These are the members
