This album presents a young jazz artist in his debut recording: Ricky Ford, a member of that youngest generation of musicians that is providing much of the musical energy for the current jazz revival.
Improvisation is a venerable art, not only in non-Western musics all over the globe, often for millennia, but in Western "composed art music" as well, from the semi-improvised music of the late-medieval/early-Renaissance troubadours to the highly developed ornamental techniques of the high Baroque.
While on the one hand we now have a new musical amalgam called "jazz rock," we also have many musicians and audiences who, looking beyond rock, have rediscovered jazz and the roots from which rock' n' roll sprang, a music black people used to call "rhythm and blues" (later, "soul").
TJBS Press Release - 2003 Schedule In the 14th year of their popular "Concert on the Lawn" series, the Tennessee Jazz & Blues Society has announced a 2003 slate of 8 concerts at Belle Meade Plantation, 3 concerts at Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art, an August 16th collaboration with Music City Blues, plus other events still in the planning stages.

When I first started in on this study, I was thinking that there probably wasn't much to this whole web community thing.
I chose Jazz Central Station (JCS) [2] for this study because it is a well designed site that seemed to have a fair amount of conversation going on.
For example, most folks will not click on any of these features unless they have an interest in jazz.
The Cafe has many features intended to create community including the aforementioned Weekly Jazz Poll, People in our Neighborhood, newsgroups (or BBS as they call it), as well as an online chat feature.

This is the most common chord progression in Jazz music.
The Harmonic Minor scale is one of more limited usefulness than the Major scale, but it yields some interesting possibilities.
The melodic minor scale (also called the Jazz Minor) is a very useful one in jazz playing.
The Lydian b7, or Lydian Dominant, starts on the 4th degree of the melodic minor scale.
The Bebop Dominant Scale is basically a Mixolydian mode with an extra note --- a natural 7th.

Pick up audition music in the band office during band camp or when school starts.
The audition will consist of the excerpt of "The Zachman is Back" - available in the band office, as well as improvising on F (concert) blues.
Drummers will play "The Zachman is Back" excerpt as well as demonstrating a swing feel in & with sticks, a swing feel in with brushes, and a bossa nova feel, as well as soloing.
This proceedure is very similar to the All-District jazz audition.
The audition is on October 13th and the district jazz festival (rehearsals and concert) is on November 8nd.
With the caliber of students in the Centennial bands, we should have several make the district jazz festival - but you have to audition.
