The Complete Scores. Par METHENY PAT. / Répertoire / Guitare ou Quatuor de Guitares

A spectacular and ambitious project for 2005 by the Pat Metheny Group in full band score. In collaboration with Lyle Mays the group have created a single 68-minute piece that the composers have compared to making a film. The musical shifts and turns are akin to a journey with moods changing with the passing landscape.

Note-for-note guitar transcriptions (carefully reviewed and approved by Metheny himself!) for all 8 songs from his highly acclaimed 1975 studio debut - which also features one of the earliest recordings of bass legend Jaco Pastorius. Includes: Bright Size Life · Midwestern Nights Dream · Missouri Uncompromised · Omaha Celebration · Round Trip/Broadway Blues · Sirabhorn · Uniquity Road · Unity Village. Contains jazz-style handwritten notation and tablature a full-page photo of Metheny and a Guitar Notation Legend.

The Complete Score-Metheny says ?'Orchestrionics' is the term that I am using to describe a method of developing ensemble-oriented music using acoustic and acoustoelectric musical instruments that are mechanically controlled in a variety of ways ... with the pieces on this particular recording leaning toward the compositional side of the spectrum. On top of these layers of acoustic sound I add my conventional electric guitar playing as an improvised component.? Here are the original scores for five pieces: Entry Point Expansion Orchestrion Soul Search Spirit of the Air.

Patrick Larbier, guitariste, vit à Hong Kong. Il est le directeur et fondateur de l?école CHORUS. Thierry Vaillot, guitariste, pianiste et compositeur, est responsable entre autres des classes d?harmonie de l?école Jazz à Tours et d?ateliers de musique d?Europe de l?Est et de Jazz manouche. Il s?occupe aussi de la coordination de la phase préparatoire du DEM jazz de cette école. Par ailleurs, il intervient au Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood dans le cadre d?ateliers autour de la musique des Balkans. Musicien de jazz à l?origine, il multiplie les projets métissant le jazz et les musiques des balkans, indiennes et méditerranéennes. Il tourne actuellement avec le trio Elbasan sur les scènes de France et d?ailleurs. Le jazz a déjà un siècle : un siècle de genres musicaux, de développements, de recherches de styles. Pourtant, du Dixieland au Be Bop, du Cool au Free, du Hard Bop au jazz Rock, il semble bien dif?cile de trouver un dénominateur commun. Au ?l de tous les genres du jazz, on retrouve une même logique dans le choix des accords, une pulsation rythmique commune, une approche semblable dans la façon d'appréhender les notes des solos. Et la guitare dans tout ça ' De la même façon que le jazz a évolué, s'est diversi?é et s'est cherché, la guitare jazz a elle aussi subi une évolution profonde et des développements tous azimuts. Et ?nalement, de la même façon que l'on dira LES jazz, on parlera DES guitares jazz. Les improvisations de Django aux accompagnements discrets de Freddy Green, les Walking Bass de Joe Pass aux envolées modales de Pat Metheny, tous ces styles participent, au-delà de leurs différences stylistiques, au genre de la guitare jazz. Ma Première Guitare jazz vous propose d'explorer les grandes familles de styles guitaristiques. Bien-sûr, l'initiation prévaut ici. La dif?culté des pièces a été volontairement réduite. Le jeu rythmique a été particulièrement mis en avant. Néanmoins, certains aspects du jeu mélodique (chorus) n'ont pas été oubliés. Les grandes étapes de la guitare sont aussi étudiées dans un ordre quasi-chronologique. Il n'est pas obligatoire d'aborder cette méthode dans l'ordre d'apparition des chapitres. Nous avons essayé de garder une logique de présentation des accords tout au long de l'ouvrage : les accords simples apparaissent en début de méthode, les plus complexes plutôt vers la ?n. Les exemples musicaux de Ma première Guitare jazz peuvent être joués à la guitare électrique ou acoustique. Certains chapitres nécessitent le jeu au médiator, d'autres le jeu aux doigts. Notre ambition est que le lecteur trouve dans cet ouvrage les clés pour découvrir les grands styles de la guitare jazz, et que le plaisir de jouer les pièces musicales le pousse à poursuivre un approfondissement du style qui l'aura séduit. Bonne guitare ! Thierry Vaillot et Patrick Larbier
