The close collaboration between Chick Corea and Paco de Lucia shows a clear example of the connection between jazz and flamenco. The release of Corea’s My Spanish Heart (1976), an explicit approach to the Latin and Spanish musical spheres, and the recordings of Paco de Lucia with jazz saxophonist Pedro Iturralde in the late 60’s led Paco and Chick to discover one another. This article offers an analytical perspective of the early years of this collaboration by reviewing Corea’s records My Spanish Heart and Touchstone (1982) , and De Lucia’s Paco de Lucia Interpreta a Manuel de Falla (1978) and Solo Quiero Caminar (1981), not only through the solos of the guitarist and pianist, but also through those played by the musicians who recorded and toured with both of them in the following years: Jorge Pardo and Carles Benavent.
Chick Corea和Paco de Lucia之间的密切合作是爵士乐和弗拉门戈之间联系的一个清楚的例子。1976年发行的《我的西班牙之心》(My Spanish Heart, 1976),是对拉丁和西班牙音乐领域的明确探索,60年代末与爵士萨克斯演奏家佩德罗·伊图拉尔德(Pedro Iturralde)合作的《Paco de Lucia》唱片,使Paco和Chick发现了彼此。本文通过回顾Corea的唱片《My Spanish Heart》和《Touchstone》(1982),以及De Lucia的《Paco De Lucia Interpreta a Manuel De Falla》(1978)和《Solo Quiero Caminar》(1981),不仅通过吉他手和钢琴家的独奏,还通过在接下来的几年里与他们两人一起录制和巡演的音乐家:Jorge Pardo和Carles Benavent的演奏,从一个分析的角度来分析他们合作的早期。

In jazz improvisation, the meter of the original theme is strictly preserved, and the middleground harmonies are maintained, while the original melody is varied freely, especially with respect to its grouping structure—where phrases begin and end. This poses problems for theories of phrase rhythm that rely on a tonal definition of the phrase. In this paper, I propose a new approach to jazz phrase rhythm. First, I divide a melody into segments on the basis of four criteria. Then I classify each segment on the basis of its relationship to the meter and to surrounding segments. The result is a hierarchy of metrically defined phrases. Phrase rhythm consonance and dissonance are the alignment or misalignment of phrases with the meter. Skilled soloists manipulate phrase rhythm as they would any other element of a solo. I conclude with an ambiguous example, to demonstrate how phrase-rhythm analysis can present competing interpretations of the same passage.

A recent book by jazz musician Randall Sandke strongly criticizes jazz writers and scholars for presenting a biased and misleading picture of jazz history. His basic thesis is that, because of ideology, the standard jazz texts exaggerate the importance of African American culture in the development of jazz, thereby creating a mythology of jazz. This article examines one aspect of Sandke’s thesis: his assertion that the myths created by earlier jazz writers are being perpetuated by present day writers. A content analysis of jazz history books published since 1990 indicates that Sandke’s assertion is largely false. Only one of seven myths that he identified appears with any regularity in the current jazz history books. The six other myths are rarely if ever found in the literature. After describing these findings, the article draws some conclusions.

In 2002 the author published Birth of the Cool , a folio of the Miles Davis nonet repertoire of 1948 to 1950, based on the original manuscripts. This article gives a brief history of the nonet and its music; describes how the manuscripts turned up and how the folio came to be published; presents listings of the most salient editorial changes made to the parts in preparing the folio, as well as corrections that should be made to the folio; and shares new information about this repertoire that has come to light since the folio's publication. Finally, the article presents the author's philosophical and practical approach to preparing accurate versions of jazz and popular ensemble music.

While many written sources on tonal jazz harmony are implicitly aware of the fundamental differences between "stable" and "unstable" chords, little significant work has examined an improvising jazz pianist's harmonic options in terms of stability, or "consonance." For this article the author focuses on the vertical dimensions of this issue, providing a "harmonic dialects" model that accounts for variants in chordal membership of stable sonorities, and an outline of psychoacoustic phenomena that affect how various piano voicings are interpreted as stable or unstable in different contexts.
