Understanding the Modern Rhythm Section

If you were rehearsing your jazz band rhythm section for the first time on this chart, how would you begin?

What are some basic concepts that you need to know to coach the bassist, guitarist, and/or drummer, in the proper interpretation of this medium swing chart?

 Guitar (piano)  Harmonically and rhythmically support soloists and ensemble  Bass  Provide time and harmonic support

 Drums  Provides time and rhythmic support for soloists and ensemble.  In a large jazz ensemble, “directs” the band by setting up and emphasizing ensemble passages.

 Guitar  Single note melodies  Improvisation  Chord symbols with rhythmic figures or slash notation and the use of extended harmony  Bass  Notated bass line  Chord symbols (to create own bass line)  Improvisation

 Drums  Notated drum part  Rhythmic notation  Rhythmic cues for ensemble passages  Slash notation and/or measure repeats

 Bassist focuses on ride cymbal. Example 1 shows a bass line in relationship to a typical ride pattern.

 Beginning bassists can start by playing solely roots of chords on each beat.

 The next step is adding chromatic approach tones to new chords, as in examples 3 and 4.

 Example 5 shows “drops”, eighth notes mixed in with the quarters to add rhythmic interest.

 Chords can be simplified to five chord types  Maj7: 6, Maj9  m7: m9, m11  Dom7: 9, 13, 7b9, 7#9, etc.  m7(b5)  o7

 Chord Voicings: E Form Bar Chords
