Jazz compositions often get colorful names that seem cryptic from the title, but make perfect sense when you know the whole story. What follows is the story of how these compositions got their names. Read on and you will know...'the rest of the story.' Watching for Watchung Plaza The title track, Watching for Watchung Plaza, is a tune that was written while riding on a bus from New York City to Montclair, NJ. I was summoned to Montclair to finish some last minute changes on a book I was engraving for a music publisher and took some writing materials to the Port Authority for the bus ride. Being a bit anxious about missing the stop and since I had never taken the bus to Montclair before, I asked the driver if he would please let me know when we got there and took a seat near the front of the bus so I could hear the announcements. While riding, I wrote this tune, hearing in my mind the hard swinging feel, and finished it just as he announced the stop for Watchung Plaza, scribbling the title, Watching for Watchung Plaza. Pocono Serenade Pocono Serenade got its name while reflecting on musical concepts during a car trip from New York City to Marquette, MI. When I drive (alone) I will often think of something to practice trumpet fingerings. I finger notes for scales or patterns in all keys. I call this practice "mental practice" because it is the process of burning brain cells just as if you had the instrument in your hands, but it is much safer than trying to play while driving. In any event, I was practicing (mentally) all the modes in all keys running through them to give my brain a workout. I decided that doing my major modes in all keys was a little easy so I decided to turn up the heat a little bit and began working on all the modes of the harmonic minor scale in every minor key. While doing this, I got to the Aeolian mode of harmonic minor, and realized that this was one cool scale! It has the root, minor third, major third, sharp four in it, and the rest, scale tones five through eight, are like a major scale. It is like thinking A harmonic minor but starting on F natural. In any event, I was so taken by the cool tones that existed in this scale, that I wrote a composition that utilized it in two aeolian (of harmonic minor) modes, F and D-flat. I named it Pocono Serenade because the idea for the composition came while I was traveling through the Pocono mountains on the way to Michigan from New York City. Thadish Thadish is a tune I wrote for two reasons. The first reason was that I had not been doing enough playing in the key of A-flat, so I wanted to write a tune that would help me get comfortable in that key. I happen to love the music of Thad Jones and use his charts to help teach my students important concepts about how to swing. Thad had a way of making dissonance consonant by writing harmonically advanced music that... |
