Local musicians striving to expand the art form of Jazz! PRESS RELEASE for immediate publication,,, Dayton Jazz Composers Quintet: “Although it may not be common knowledge of the listening audience, the music used in most jazz performances is based on a common repertoire of about one hundred tin pan alley songs and other tunes written by jazz composers such as Miles Davis or Charlie Parker. The common repertoire allows jazz musicians to work together at a very high level of musicianship without rehearsal. As valuable as the common repertoire is to an everyday jazz performance it also can become detrimental to creativity.” for the entire article Click here for details.

    Extractions: Photo: G. Schirmer, Inc. Born 29 April 1899 in Washington DC, composer, bandleader, and pianist Edward Kennedy ("Duke") Ellington was recognized in his lifetime as one of the greatest jazz composers and performers. Nicknamed "Duke" by a boyhood friend who admired his regal air, the name stuck and became indelibly associated with the finest creations in big band and vocal jazz. A genius for instrumental combinations, improvisation, and jazz arranging brought the world the unique "Ellington" sound that found consummate expression in works like "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady," and the symphonic suites Black, Brown, and Beige (which he subtitled "a Tone Parallel to the History of the Negro in America") and Harlem ("a Tone Parallel to Harlem"). Beginning keyboard studies at the age of seven, Ellington's earliest influences were the ragtime pianists. He taught himself harmony at the piano and at 17, made his professional debut. Encouraged by Fats Waller, he moved to New York in 1923 and, during the formative Cotton Club years, experimented with and developed the style that would quickly bring him worldwide success and recognition. Ellington would be among the first to focus on musical form and composition in jazz using ternary forms and "call-and-response" techniques in works like Concerto for Cootie (known in its familiar vocal version as Do Nothin' till You Hear from Me ) and Cotton Tail and classic symphonic devices in his orchestral suites. In this respect, he would influence the likes of Monk, Mingus, and Evans.

    http://www.schirmer.com/composers/brubeck_bio.html
    
    Extractions: Born on 6 December 1920 in Concord, California, jazz legend Dave Brubeck is equally distinguished as composer and pianist. Studies at the College of the Pacific and with Milhaud at Mills College led to the founding, with fellow students, of the experimental Jazz Workshop Ensemble which recorded in 1949 as the Dave Brubeck Octet. Later, in 1958, the combination of Brubeck with drummer Joe Morello, double bassist Eugene Wright, and alto saxophonist Paul Desmond quickly achieved an overwhelming popular success as the Dave Brubeck Quartet. The Quartet's experimentation with time signatures unusual to jazz produced works like Blue Rondo a la Turk and Take Five , introducing millions of enthusiastic young listeners to unexplored regions of jazz. The group recorded and performed together continuously through 1967. As composer, Brubeck has written and, in some cases, recorded several large-scale works including two ballets, a musical, an oratorio, four cantatas, a mass, works for jazz combo and orchestra, and many solo piano pieces. In the last 20 years, he has organized several new quartets and continued to appear at the Newport, Monterey, Concord, and Kool Jazz Festivals. Brubeck performed at the White House in 1964 and 1981 and at the 1988 Moscow summit honoring the Gorbachevs. He is the recipient of four honorary degrees, the BMI Jazz Pioneer Award, and the 1988 American Eagle Award presented by the National Music Council.

    http://home.earthlink.net/~fkimbrough/JCCpage.html
    
    Extractions: Lourdes Delgado When Ben Allison proposed forming the Jazz Composers Collective to Kimbrough and a handful of other players, Kimbrough embraced the idea fully. Here was a chance to take the composer-oriented jam sessions that both Kimbrough and Allison had been running for some time and not only take the music to the next level, but to the public as well. In the fall of 1992 – with their own money – the newly-formed Collective created a concert series that has presented adventurous jazz to New York City audiences for twelve years, resulting in the release of more than twenty CDs by their composers-in-residence. The basic format remained the same for 11 seasons: the core Collective composers-in-residence – Frank Kimbrough, Ron Horton, Ben Allison Michael Blake ,and Ted Nash – each put on one concert per season, sharing half the evening with a guest composer. Collective groups have also hit the road in recent years, performing in concerts, clubs and festivals in the US, Canada, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Portugal, and Brazil. "The Jazz Composers Collective is a virtual study of the positive effects that the DIY (do it yourself) ethic can bring about. They are, in an unassuming way, producing some of the most vital improvised and composed music coming out of New York today. Playing on each other's projects, helping to organize concerts, pooling efforts to produce the smart, informative newsletter that details their activities - everyone helps out for the massed good of the members and audience." - Craig Nixon, Revolution in Sound Reviews
