  2. interval recognition

    in Musician's Forum

    Posted

    Hi all,

    i'm working on my ear training and I'm making a list of songs to help me remember the intervals. I've found some tunes I am familar with for most intervals. There are a few intervals though that give a bit of trouble and I'd like to ask your help in what has helped you while you were learning.

    The intervals I have the most trouble with are

    - augmented 4th (especially descending) could anyone recommend some songs for this one. For ascending I have "Maria" and "The Simpsons" but I'd be happy with some more titles.

    - minor 7th, ascending and descending, so far I have "Somewhere" (Westside Story) for ascending and "Watermelon Man". Some more titles would come in handy.

    - Major 7th (especially descending, I only found "I love you" by Cole Porter 'till now.) For ascending I have "Ceora" and "Don't know why" (Norah Jones), more titles are welcome.

    I'd prefer songs with vocals since I find it easier to remember the lyrics along with the intervals, but any names of tunes you did find helpful are welcome.

    I'd be happy to post the list I've decided on as soon as I have the tunes with accompanying intervals in my head should anyone be interested. :)

    Thank you for your time reading.

    Kind regards, page

    Why don't you take (some) private lessons? Sanna van Vliet is giving short seminars. See below.

  12. Yusef Lateef --Autophysiopsychic ?

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    Lateef explains his meaning of Autophysiopsychic Music as coming from one’s physical, mental, and spiritual self or, more simply put, music from one’s heart. He likened the term jazz to its unseemly synonyms like “nonsense,” “blather,” “claptrap” and felt that it "reduced the music to poppycock and skulduggery... I find that the word 'jazz' is a meaningless term that too narrowly defines the music I play, and it adds a connotation that’s disrespectful to the art and those who perform it."

    so was this 'jazzwise' site 'patient zero' of this mess? i checked it out for a sec to try and spot that apology, sux when most of the 'jazz news' is obituaries. :( i notice its from the UK. they obviously got their wires crossed with something, with this. theyre all the way in the UK, why would they break the story. does not compute

    They were very quick off the mark with their obituary but suspect that they picked up this 'news' on the twittersphere.

    Yes, that's what I think. They posted it too quick without a good check...!!!

    Jazzwise apologises for passing on widespread reports on jazz websites, social media and jazz radio and initial checks, that Horace Silver had died. Jazzwise apologises unreservedly to Horace Silver, his family, friends and fans and for any distress this may have caused.

    Peace - Mike Flynn"

    Belgian pianist and composer Kris Goessens, at the age of 46

    Wow, did he really die? What happened? I heard him in the Hague in 2001, and met him here briefly. So young....

    I see that it was an apparent suicide. How horrible.

    Yep... Here's some more: http://www.londonjazznews.com/2013/08/rip-kris-goessens-1967-2013-with-updates.html

  23. Herb Geller RIP

    well, he loved Chet Baker. We had a long talk about him once.

    He said in the same interview that Pepper 'thought he was better than (or as good as) Bird, and that wasn't the case'.

    In Part 4 of a five-part interview with Herb, the West Coast alto saxophonist giant talks about Jimmy Giuffre, Art Pepper, Maynard Ferguson, Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Frank Butler and Larance Marable
