Download or read book Groovin High written by Alyn Shipton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-07-19 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dizzy Gillespie was one of the most important and best-loved musicians in jazz history. With his horn-rimmed glasses, goatee, jive talk, and upraised trumpet bell, he was the hipster who most personified bebop. The musical heir to Louis Armstrong, he created the modern jazz trumpet-playing style and dazzled aficionados and popular audiences alike for over 50 years. In this first full biography, Alyn Shipton covers all aspects of Dizzy's remarkable life and career, taking us through his days as a flashy trumpet player in the swing bands of the 1930s, his innovative bebop work in the 1940s, the worldwide fame and adoration he earned through his big band tours in the 1950s, and the many recordings and performances which defined a career that extended into the early 1990s. Along the way, Shipton convincingly argues that Gillespie--rather than Charlie Parker as is widely believed--had the greatest role in creating bebop, playing in key jazz groups, teaching the music to others, and helping to develop the first original bebop repertory. Shipton also explores the dark side of Dizzy's mostly sunny personal life, his womanizing, the illegitimate daughter he fathered and supported--now a respected jazz singer in her own right--and his sometimes needless cruelty to others. For anyone interested in jazz and one of its most innovative and appealing figures, Groovin' High is essential reading.

Download or read book Groovin Rudments written by Ron Wilson and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once beginning drum set students have learned some basic beats, the question becomes “How do I get to the next level?” Developing the use of drum rudiments opens a new universe; by focusing on rudiments, you will learn new sticking patterns and build technique, speed, and dexterity. Applying these patterns to the drum set with the online grooves and beats included with this book creates yet another enjoyable dimension. An important part of this process is to apply it while playing with other musicians. The music tracks that accompany this book enhance the learning process and make it fun to play the examples and use them in a musical setting. Each recorded musical example appears in two separate versions: One version includes drums as a reference; the other leaves the drum tracks out, so students can provide the drumming. All examples are written in standard drum set notation. Includes access to online audio.
