The new sound : a transcription and analysis of selected solos of Woody Shaw

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This work is in two parts. The first section consists of ten transcriptions of the solos of the trumpet player Woody Shaw. These have been transcribed by ear directly from the recordings. The second section of the work consists of analyses of the transcriptions. Woody Shaw remains one of the most harmonically progressive jazz trumpet players today, years after his death. Like the great saxophone player John Coltrane, he liked to superimpose tonalities of his own choosing over the original tonality of the music.
