Music Theory For Dummies
by Michael Pilhofer and Holly Day
For Dummies | English | 2007-04-02 | 360 pages | PDF | 10.3 MB

Many people grimace at the sound of music theory. It can conjure up bad memories of grade school music classes, rattle the brains of college students, and make self-taught musicians feel self-defeated. Music Theory may seem tedious and unnecessary, especially since not many people can read music.

Luckily, Music Theory for Dummies shows you the fun and easy way to understanding the concepts needed to compose, deconstruct, and comprehend music. This helpful guide will give you a great grasp of:

* Note value and counting notes
* Treble and bass clefs
* Time signatures and measures
* Naturalizing the rhythm
* Tempo and dynamic
* Tone, color, and harmonics
* Half steps and whole steps
* Harmonic and melodic intervals
* Key signatures and circles of fifths
* Scales, chords, and their progressions
* Elements of form
* Music theory’s fascinating history

This friendly guide not only explores these concepts, it provides examples of music to compliment them so you can hear how they sound firsthand. With a bonus CD that demonstrates these ideas with musical excerpts on guitar and piano, this hands-on resource will prove to you that music theory is as enjoyable as it is useful. Don’t get discouraged by the seemingly complicated written structure. With Music Theory for Dummies, understanding music has never been easier!

This CD reissue combines two completely distinct releases in which bassist and composer Charles Mingus played a part, along with alternate takes from each of the original sessions. In 1953 Mingus recorded four tunes originally arranged a decade earlier by Spaulding Givens. Three of the tunes are Mingus': "Pink Topsy" and "Miss Bliss" anticipate Miles Davis' 1959 BIRTH OF THE COOL, with their little-big-band scoring and slightly unusual instrumentation (two brass and three reeds, plus cello). Givens' "Blue Tide" and Mingus' "Eclipse" are vocal numbers featuring singer Janet Thurlow. In 1957 Mingus was the bassist on a four-tune session for trombonist Jimmy Knepper, with Danny Richmond on drums, Joe Maini on alto saxophone and Bill Triglia on piano. For the most part this is straight-ahead bebop of '57 vintage, with some satisfying contrapuntal twists on the head statements. The standout, however, is "Cunningbird," one of three Knepper originals from this date, which opens with a lush statement arranged for the two horns and Mingus' bowed bass before settling into a slightly fractured, deliberately off-kilter blowing section.

Tracklist: 01.Pink Topsy (3:03) 02.Miss Bliss (3:03) 03.Blue tide (3:08) 04.Pink Topsy (3:38) alternate take 05.Eclipse (2:57) alternate take 06.Eclipse (2:54) 07.Latter Day Saint (4:00) 08.Cunningbird (4:45) 09.The Jumpin' Blues (Jump The Blues Away) (4:52) 10.The Masher (3:33) 11.Latter Day Saint (5:22) alternate take 1 12.Latter Day Saint (3:46) alternate take 2 13.The Masher (4:15) alternate take 13.Latter day saint (3:51) alternate take #?

Trombonist J.J. Johnson's 1960 sextet is featured on this Columbia CD. Most notable among the sidemen is a rather young trumpeter named Freddie Hubbard on one of his first sessions; also helping out are tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Arthur Harper and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. Seven of the compositions (which are joined by Dizzy Gillespie's "Blue 'N' Boogie") are Johnson's and, although none caught on, "Mohawk," "In Walked Horace" and "Fatback" (which is heard in two versions) are all fairly memorable.

EAC rip | FLAC + CUE + LOG | Scans | 250 Mb (Incl. Recovery)
Genre ~ Free Jazz | Label ~ Geffen Records

When this album was released in 1994, it shocked casual, and even some hardcore, Metheny fans. Recorded in one day, Zero Tolerance for Silence can best be described as semi-organized noise. In fact, it is often compared with Lou Reed's racket-fest, Metal Machine Music. The recording is five tracks of Metheny's improvised riffing on electric guitar with no other accompaniment, and few, if any, overdubs. Pat Metheny has flirted with this mind-bending musical genre many times before, including his work with Ornette Coleman and even in concert with the Pat Metheny Group. At least two theories exist about this album. The first is that this was the artist's last solo record due under his contract with Geffen Records, and this release was his way of saying "screw you" to the label (it should be noted that the last Pat Metheny Group album recorded for Geffen, Quartet, was the least commercial and musical PMG release). Theory two is that this is the album that the artist wished to make at the time. The truth is probably a combination of both theories. The mega-talented guitarist has always been versatile and this further proves that point. The cover and the title of the album are great, but the provocative music is not.

Some jazz musicians aren't documented nearly as much as they should be; one could write a book about all the talented improvisers who made it to 60 or 65 without ever recording an album, or even being featured as a sideman on someone else's album. But Hiromi, thankfully, has been recording frequently ever since she emerged in the early 2000s, and she has been wise enough to record in a variety of settings. Hiromi has recorded unaccompanied, as well as in duos and trios; she has played in both electric groups and acoustic groups, and she has provided straight-ahead post-bop as well as fusion.

Voice is best described as an electro-acoustic effort that is more post-bop than fusion but has its rock-influenced moments. Forming a trio with Anthony Jackson on electric bass and Simon Phillips on drums, Hiromi is heard on both acoustic piano and electric keyboards but pays more attention to the former. And while this 2010 recording may not be ideal from the perspective of a rigid jazz purist or a bop snob, Hiromi's outlook is very much the outlook of a jazz improviser; the fact that she, Jackson, and Phillips bring some rock muscle to some of the material doesn't negate that. Hiromi is undeniably imaginative on an intriguing performance of Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minus, Opus 13, aka Sonata Pathétique, which goes back to 1798. Or course, there was no jazz in Beethoven's time; if one agrees that jazz started when cornetist Buddy Bolden formed his first band in New Orleans in 1895, then jazz was a little over 100 years away from being created when Beethoven composed Sonata Pathétique. But Hiromi has no problem bringing Beethoven's piece into the jazz world of the 21st century; she is no less an improviser on Sonata Pathétique than she is on free-spirited originals such as "Labyrinth," "Flashback," "Delusion," and "Now or Never." The Hiromi/Jackson/Phillips trio might display more rock muscle on some tracks than they do on others, but rock muscle or not, this 66-minute CD never loses its jazz mentality. Voice is yet another absorbing effort from this capricious acoustic pianist/electric keyboardist.

Beethoven - Last Sonatas op. 110 & 111 - Youra Guller

Beethoven - Last Sonatas op. 110 & 111 - Youra Guller

Madame Youra Guller is one of the race of interpretative artists made for this type of work. She became known, between the two wars, as one of the great contemporary pianists. But she has never consented to become one of the celebrated idols woh travel continually around the world playing the same programme to the public. As a meticulous, modest, refined and almosts mystical pianist, each of her appearances on the concert platform has impressed her audience by the intensity of her performance and the nobility of her style. It is fitting that this record bears withness to such an artist in the recording of these two sonatas, in which she conveys all the solemn, profound, magical beauty in a personal rendering which has the mark of authenticity, as much in its conception as in its supreme execution.

Again, the playing is of the utmost profundity, among the greatest Beethoven interpretations ever recorded.

The CD contains a number of outstanding tracks of piano genius Art Tatum. Especially the last four tracks, compositions of Tatum himself, are very good. Ain't Misbehavin' (track 5) shows the extraordinary technical abilities of Tatum. Shockingly good. I have never heard someone playing like that. ~ Amazon Customer's Review

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin' (MP3 320kbps)

The Times They Are a-Changin' is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's third studio album, released in January 1964 by Columbia Records.

Produced by Tom Wilson, it is the singer-songwriter's first collection to feature only original compositions. The album consists mostly of stark, sparsely-arranged story songs concerning issues such as racism, poverty, and social change. The title track is one of Dylan's most famous; many felt that it captured the spirit of social and political upheaval that characterized the 1960s.

Some critics and fans were not quite as taken with the album as a whole, relative to his previous work, for its lack of humor or musical diversity. Still, The Times They Are a-Changin' entered the United States chart at twenty, eventually going gold, and belatedly reaching four in the United Kingdom in 1965.
