Description
Counterpoint in Jazz Arranging by Bob Pilkington is an essential guide for anyone arranging jazz standards or writing original jazz compositions. This study provides core material to add dimension and interest to your music, helping you craft melodies, countermelodies, bass lines, and grooves. Carefully guided exercises let you practice exploring and controlling contrapuntal relationships, while accompanying recordings demonstrate techniques in typical jazz arrangements featuring a live jazz ensemble. You'll learn to gain greater control over your music, add variety and interest by setting multiple lines in dialogue with one another, and develop rhythmic interactivity using cumulative rhythm and layered ostinato. By mastering these techniques, you can clarify your ideas, strengthen their relationships, and create stronger composite wholes that suggest harmony without relying on harmonic accompaniment.
