Jazz Paraphrase for Clarinet

Jazz Paraphrase for Clarinet

Composer: Jeffery Wilson

Jazz

WoodwindClarinet

Purchase

Catalogue no: CM277  |  ISMN M-57034-277-8

Jazz Paraphrase is a set of engaging pieces/studies which emulate the styles of various famous jazz players.

Instrumentation

Clarinet

Contents

Lots of Dodds

Noted for his blues influenced improvisations and Clarinet virtuosity this self taught musician was an important contributor to the early jazz movement alongside Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton.

I Hear Ya George

George Lewis possessed a rich lower register and strident upper register on the Clarinet which he used to great effect in his improvisations that influenced a generation of British ‘trad’ players.

Go Sid

The talent that was Sidney Bechet is one of the most influential names in the early jazz movement. In this paraphrase we try to capture some of his idiomatic and seemingly ‘composed’ improvised ideas.

Let’s Hear it Woody

The popular band leader Woody Herman was no slouch when it came to playing the Clarinet. His improvisations are notable for the motivic rhythmic drive that characterises so much swing music.

Artie for Sure

Something of an innovator, Artie Shaw flirted with some classical and latin american ‘crossover’ music in his creative output. Here we explore something of the ‘straight 8’s’ feel and florid lines of this famous player.

Salt Peanuts

The rhythmic/melodic hook ‘salt peanuts’ is most associated with the Bebop movement of the 1940’s and so here we cast the clarinet in the role of a witty soloist with some recognisable quotes?

The Franco

One of the few Bebop Clarinet players Buddy de Franco did not limit himself to this style but over the course of a long career has lent his considerable technique to many areas of jazz music. Here we investigate some of his finger twisting lines.

A Good Man

No book on Jazz Clarinet would be complete without reference to the swing master Benny Goodman. Here we enjoy some of his typical arpeggiated figures and weaving scale patterns.

Yo Eddie

Eddie Daniels is a true master of the instrument and has assimilated many styles into his playing whilst offering a distinctive sound and fluent improvised lines which in this paraphrase we attempt to emulate.
