Music
According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez, the border between
music and noise is always culturally definedwhich implies that, even
within a single society, this border does not always pass through the
same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus. By all accounts
there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what
music might be, except that it is sound through time.
Nattiez 1990: 47-8, 55

Learning the Tri-Tone


NOTE: The most common chord substitution used today is called the tritone substitution.
In order to apply this harmonic device:
1 - First learn the tonal relationships between the tri-tones by name: C to F, G to D, etc.
2 - Use chords of the same quality as the originals such as Major, Dominant7, or minor7,
but then SUBSTITUTE the same quality chord located a tritone (augmented 4th) away!

Coltrane ii-V7s 1/2 Step Apart

reharmonizing the KEY CENTER; in the key of C
(Dmin7) it is F (Gmin7-C7) followed by the tritone
substitute of G7 (D7) preceded by its min7: Amin7!

Numeric and Symbolic Representations


in Jazz Language
Numerology

The Jazz Language uses both Roman Numerals and numbers.


Roman Numerals represent Chordal Triads and their designation in a specific Key:

&c

ii

iii

IV

vi

vii

NOTE: Capitalized Roman Numerals represent Major triads while small numerals represent minor or diminished triads.

Numbers ascribe the specific note in a Chord that designates its harmonic sound including altered pitches.

History of Trumpet Chordal Harmonies


1956 - Present
This section is not entirely about STYLE but use and invention of chordal harmony since
the Bop era. There are many other trumpeters and composers who contributed mightily and
any serious student must delve deeply into the vast resources of past performances to
appreciate what is presented here. No wise trumpet student would fail to investigate the
style and chordal inventions of Louis Armstrong, the Godfather of trumpet. Also, it
becomes apparent that saxophonists from Bird to Coltrane, Shorter to Bergonzi become
creatively more influential to trumpeters as time goes on. The following are great
innovators on their own and warrant further study.

Ascendancy of Classical in Jazz


20th Century Composition has gradually made its way into the vernacular of jazz performance.
Several artists, many who have studied at the finest conservatories have been infused with the
possibilities offered by composers demonstrating new and unique ways of developing thematic
material. Within this chapter are ideas for exploration and further study that can be added to
your arsenal of ideas for improvisation.

Split-tone Buzzing the notes: Using a tight embouchure, force the airstream through the mouthpiece and buzz.

&

The following effects are used in creating noises, sounds and tones other than described above:
Air Blowing Mechanics - Blow air through the horn, "Charles Tolliver"
Playing without a mouthpiece - New Music idea
Mutes, Hats - Miles made the Harmon without stop famous, Clarke Terry and his Plunger Mute, Wa Wa,
Hats and other sound blockers, even the body!
Piano and Snare Drum Effects - Play on the skin or into a keybord for resonation effects
Electronics, Microphones, Amplifiers - Many programs for tone slitters, cyclonics, modifiers and echo
or reverb repeaters.
Final Note: Many young horn players are bringing the Jazz language to Hip
Hop, Electronica and commercial music. All of the effects and language skill
sets are available for you to invent the right sounds for your own voice!

Spelling Chords for Trumpet


NOTE: Scales are the primary source for modal playing, however, learning
to spell chords can induce other creative sentences in jazz conversation
HINT: Formula for spelling is to learn the form of the 2 triads making up the Chord.
