Shrewsbury

Jazz Vocalists and their bands have been an important part of music since the late 1800s. Here are some quotations:-

Ted Gioia ~ 'We tend to conceptualise composition in jazz as a process of putting black dots on pages. Many commentators make a further leap and assume that greatness in jazz composition will be achieved when we have lots of black dots on lots of pages ... Jazz composition is primarily about creating an invigorating framework and fresh mental space for creativity. The breakthrough in Kind of Blue was in creating a new state of mind ... I am suggesting that the success of a jazz composition can best be determined by what the players do at that point in the performance when there are no black dots to play. In essence one listens to the quality of the improvisations as a way of judging the merits of a composition. If a soloist is not inspired, all the black dots in the world won't compensate for this deficiency. And if the soloists is inspired, just a few black dots - or none at all - will suffice. Even the jazz composers who wrote thick scores - such as Ellington and Mingus - recognised this.'
