'the great imposter on piano.' Bob, I wonder if you could explain this about Jaki. Is this a known nickname, or something that you are coming up with? Just curious about him. I first heard that from Ron Kuzner, a legendary jazz dj, now deceased. It's common here in the hinterlands, but I know not b...

Great Coles and Byard solos too!

Dolphy!!! and 'the great imposter on piano.' OMG. Thanks.

Yes, no question, Gil Evans' music says that he was inspired by what he heard from Stravinsky. Mingus said that Bird called him on the phone once and said listen to this...he was improvising over the "Firebird Suite". Mingus said it was the most beautiful thing that he had ever heard. One...

Do you think Gil Evans got a lot of his voicings from Stravinsky? If I had the opportunity to orchestrate for 'big band' I'd bury myself in the two of them.

Thanks. It looks like my weekend will be full.

Hm. yeah, those chords after the West Side Story quote gotta go. That's what I get for ignoring the muse and just manipulating a row. The repeat of the A phrase is gonna get some some counterpoint. I'll listen to Aleucha for inspiration. This is an interesting process you got going here, Mom. (May I...

the "traveling pause" looks just like the fermata on paper. Except the music isn't just held like the fermata. It's a SLOW DOWN on one note usually follow by a tempo change or to express some deep emotion, etc..someone (conductor) must drop the beat (cue) to allow the music to proceed. Th...

I don't know how to notate a traveling pause, but I'm thinking of doing some 'operation' on A2. Tempi starts quarter = 120 and stays proportionately so. No metric modulations on this part. If you pat your foot at 120 it actually swings. The more I listen to the "B" section the less I like ...

Here's a sound file of a chart that never got played in public. We feared that the jazz police would send a death squad, and 'Trane's solo scored for vln, vla, and cello did not amuse the symphony guys.

Yes, cute and DIFFICULT. I had it played at steady tempo, but if it had changed tempo with each meter...it could get very tough. The bar has been raised at this site, and it's partly your fault. GOOD. The 16th note pulse is consistent. Metric modulation comes later along with mod of central pitch. ...

Yeah, I get that a lot. As this evolves, I should be able to post the Sibelius sound file as an mp3.

Very good. The Dolphy material is going to take some digestion. Dang.

Ok. I sight read through that, what's next?

No surprises, the whole thing will be 12 pages long.
