Jazz from the 40’s and 50’s Duke Ellington (piano, big band leader) and Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone) “Prelude to a Kiss” by Duke Ellington and Billy Eckstein

Count Basie “Taxi War Dance” Lester Young, tenor saxophone

Bebop Complex harmony Complex improvisation Return to combo jazz (small bands) Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker “Shaw ‘Nuff”

Cool Combo Jazz Unlike Bebop, it has more relaxed feel Even though the harmony is still complex, it has an easy-going feel Also called west coast jazz, usually doesn’t use a piano This piece is “No Figs” played by Lennie Tristano, guitar; Lee Konitz, alto sax; and Stan Getz, tenor sax.

review Right around 1950, jazz and swing are still the dominant styles in American popular music Count Basie and Duke Ellington are two of the most popular Big Band leaders Sidemen from these bands break off and make their own combo groups (small bands)

Review…bebop and cool Duke Ellington once said, “playing bebop music is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.” Bebop very complicated, very fast…very complex improvisations Cool laid back, the name says it all
