Re: RIP: Bucky Pizzarelli

That's like the George Thorogood story, who, when asked why he didn't write more songs, replied "Chuck Berry already wrote them all." Mike

Re: RIP: Bucky Pizzarelli
#BuckyPizzarelli
Truly a legend. I recall attending a "Jazz Summit" of masterclasses in the early 2000's and Bucky was one of the guests. A young man asked him, "what new writers do you like for songs?", to which Bucky replied, "You don't understand - all the great songs were already written in the 30's and 40's - we don't need any more".

re: I really wish that the poor weren't the ones that need to take care of the poor.� Martino wasn't poor. I'm sure he had a healthy bank account. But in this country, serious medical expenses can bankrupt anyone who isn't in the top "1%" - and most folks don't have the exposure to get relief from sites like gofundme. Likewise, most donors aren't necessarily poor either - as long as they stay healthy. I remember a similar situation not long ago with Kenny Burrell, who had to raise money at gofundme, needed $150,000, got some $250,000 which put him and his family back on their feet again. A good outcome for a bad situation - but what if he hadn't been famous? re: "When we reduce our great artists to begging to ensure corporate profits we need to rediscover our soul." ... so make that "anybody", not just "great artists". Actually, successful artists will take a little longer to get there.

Re: Pat Martino Fund
#PatMartino
Is it just me who finds these appeals profoundly depressing? If top-tier artists like Barney Kessel or Pat Martino can’t sustain themselves, what chance if any do the rest have? Is this an indictment of the US healthcare system, a lack of societal respect and support for the arts, an inability to save for a rainy day, or a bit of all of those factors and more?Sent from Chris's socialist iPhone.

I am sorry, but this just needs to be said. What a shame upon the United States. It's starting to seem like we aren't even part of the "civilized world" any more. When we reduce our great artists to begging to ensure corporate profits we need to rediscover our soul. Although I intend to try to help one of my guitar heroes, I really wish that the poor weren't the ones that need to take care of the poor.

#JimmyBruno
Jimmy Bruno will be playing at the Vintage Bar and Grille at 1116 Old York Road in Abington PA this Wednesday evening, March 4 starting at 8 PM. He will be playing with Guitars Sonny Troy and Bassist Dylan Taylor. There is no fee and It’s reasonable for food. Jimmy doesn’t play many gigs these days, so it will be a good chance to hear a terrific musician. Hopefully a few people can show.

In 2009, a jazz guitarist from Maryland died in a plane crash. His music lives on. The Washington Post Fifty lives were lost when Colgan Air Flight 3407 crashed outside of Buffalo on Feb. 12, 2009. Among them were two members of Chuck Mangione’s band: saxophonist Gerry Niewood and guitarist Coleman Mellett. Mellett, a 1992 graduate of DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, left behind hundreds of hours of recordings he’d made in the New Jersey home he shared with his wife, jazz singer Jeanie Bryson. “He was up there in our studio, banging these things out, year after year,� Bryson said. “They were never completed.� Suddenly it seemed like they might never be. In some cases the music amounted to snippets: multiple takes of different sections of different songs, some recorded in digital formats that were no longer so easy to access.The story of the resurrection of the 34-year-old Mellett’s music is detailed in a documentary screening Thursday night at the AFI Silver Theatre. |

Free scores
Here's a free collection of 2500 arrangements for solo guitar: classical, jazz (chord melody and Brazilian), folk, and some pop (especially Beatles), by a number of gifted arrangers including Howard Heitmeyer and Yves Keroas (whose arrangements are designated by "HH" and "YK" in the title).
They are in the Tabledit format, and can be read, played and printed using the free TEFView reader for Mac, Windows, Android and iOS. Standard notation, tablature or both can be displayed. Tempo is adjustable. When you play a piece a cursor follows the music and a fretboard diagram shows finger placement, to aid in learning. A user group at /g/tabledit has tech support, in the unlikely event you need it.
TablEdit files can also be read by some versions of Guitar Pro, TuxEdit, and other programs.
The pieces are at:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dp_n4yjWVUdOAHctrkcVdn5797us8MEe
The TEFView reader is at:

A manual for TEFView, which is barely necessary, is at:

Re: Pent Up House

Thanks Juan,
I thought I had missed something. Yeah, it's being treated as a II in G (with a pedal D) instead of a I in C. I hope you're doing great also, and wish you a Really Roaring 2020s! Bobby |
Re: Pent Up House
#Improv
#SonnyRollins
Bobby,
Fair enough; in that case it's not really functioning as Cmaj7/D as much as it is an Am9/D or even Am9/11, right? This is a good example of how chord names can be deceptive or misleading; too many guitar players tend to name chords by their shape rather than by their context, it's a huge "rabbit hole". Hope all's well.
Cheers,
JV

Re: Pent Up House
#Improv
#SonnyRollins
Hi,
I'd say it's probably "safer" to go with the Real Book changes but it is after all "jazz", so there's always room for variety as long as it doesn't stray too far. Many years ago I played this tune with a well-known NYC jazz guitarist whose name I won't mention, and I played a couple of different changes at the end. When we were done he got really pissed at me and said something to the effect of, "you can't change the chords...". I remember thinking, "wow, and you call yourself a "jazz" player"... I don't know which version you're listening to, but Cmaj7/D seems kind of a stretch replacement for Am7, although it'd probably work voiced "right". HTH.
Cheers,
JV

From: Mike Crutcher <Funkifized@...> To: Jazz-Guitar <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Jan 20, 2020 3:48 pm Subject: [Jazz-Guitar] Pent Up House #Improv #SonnyRollins Can we discuss Pent Up House for a second? In regards to playing this tune, a guy teaching it whose opinion I respect has said that he's always played this Sonny Rollins tune with the "blowing changes", as listed in a couple of Real Books, which are Am7 - D7 - GMaj7 - - Am7 - D7 - GMaj7 - - Dm7 - G7 - Cm7 - F7 - Am7 - D7 - GMaj7 - -
However, the changes over the melody seem to be CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - GMaj9 - Ab9 - GMaj9 - -
CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - GMaj9 - Ab9 - GMaj9 -
Dm7 - G7(b9, #5) - Cm9 - F13 - Dm7 - G7(b9, #5) - Cm9 - F13 - GMaj9 - Ab9 - GMaj9 - -
I can see that both sets of changes are similar, but it sounds to me like Rollins sticks to the posted changes. I haven't heard much of other versions of the tune. Is it standard procedure to the more vanilla "blowing changes" for the whole tune? Anyone else do this?
