Montgomery-Ward Bridge
In jazz music, the Montgomery-Ward bridge (also Riepel's Monte) is a standard chord progression often used as the bridge, or 'B section', of a jazz standard. The progression consists, in its most basic form, of the chords I7–IV7–ii7–V7. Often, some or all of the dominants are substituted with ii–V progressions or otherwise altered. This is used in such standards as "The Sunny Side of the Street", "When You're Smiling", "Satin Doll",. and particularly " Honeysuckle Rose"..

Turnaround (music)
In jazz, a turnaround is a passage at the end of a section which leads to the next section. This next section is most often the repetition of the previous section or the entire piece or song.Randel, Don Michael (2002). ''The Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music and Musicians''. . p.693 The turnaround may lead back to this section either harmonically, as a chord progression, or melodically. Typical examples Typical turnarounds in jazz include: *I–vi–ii–V ( ii–V–I turnaround, circle progression) *I-VI-ii-V *I–VI–II–V (I–V/ii–V/V–V) *I–iii–ii7–V7 *I–vi–VI711–V * V–IV–I (blues turnaround) *I–III–VI–II7 (Tadd Dameron turnaround) *iii-VI-ii-V Turnarounds typically begin with the tonic (I) (or a tonic substitute such as iii) and end on the dominant (V7), the next section starting on the tonic (I). They may also end on II7 (which is a dominant substitute). Thus when used in a twelve bar blues pattern, the twelfth bar may end on the do ...

Altered Chord
An altered chord is a chord that replaces one or more notes from the diatonic scale with a neighboring pitch from the chromatic scale. By the broadest definition, any chord with a non-diatonic chord tone is an altered chord. The simplest example of altered chords is the use of borrowed chords, chords borrowed from the parallel key, and the most common is the use of secondary dominants. As Alfred Blatter explains, "An altered chord occurs when one of the standard, functional chords is given another quality by the modification of one or more components of the chord." For example, altered notes may be used as leading tones to emphasize their diatonic neighbors. Contrast this with chord extensions: In jazz harmony, chromatic alteration is either the addition of notes not in the scale or expansion of a hordprogression by adding extra non-diatonic chords.Arkin, Eddie (2004). ''Creative Chord Substitution for Jazz Guitar'', p. 42. . For example, "A C major scale with an added D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chord Substitution
In music theory, chord substitution is the technique of using a chord in place of another in a progression of chords, or a chord progression. Much of the European classical repertoire and the vast majority of blues, jazz and rock music songs are based on chord progressions. "A chord substitution occurs when a chord is replaced by another that is made to function like the original. Usually substituted chords possess two pitches in common with the triad that they are replacing." A chord progression may be repeated to form a song or tune. Composers, songwriters and arrangers have developed a number of ways to add variety to a repeated chord progression. There are many ways to add variety to music, including changing the dynamics (loudness and softness). Use in classical music In J. S. Bach's ''St Matthew Passion'', the chorale "Herzliebster Jesu" makes its first appearance in a straightforward harmonisation: Later, as the Passion Story draws towards its sombre conclusion, we f ...

Dominant Chord
In music, the dominant is the fifth scale degree () of the diatonic scale. It is called the ''dominant'' because it is second in importance to the first scale degree, the tonic. In the movable do solfège system, the dominant note is sung as "So(l)". The triad built on the dominant note is called the dominant chord. This chord is said to have dominant function, which means that it creates an instability that requires the tonic for resolution. Dominant triads, seventh chords, and ninth chords typically have dominant function. Leading-tone triads and leading-tone seventh chords may also have dominant function. Dominant chords In music theory, the dominant triad is a major chord, symbolized by the Roman numeral "V" in the major scale. In the natural minor scale, the triad is a minor chord, denoted by "v". However, in a minor key, the seventh scale degree is often raised by a half step ( to ), creating a major chord. These chords may also appear as seventh chords: typi ...

Jazz Standard
Jazz standards are musical compositions that are an important part of the musical repertoire of jazz musicians, in that they are widely known, performed, and recorded by jazz musicians, and widely known by listeners. There is no definitive list of jazz standards, and the list of songs deemed to be standards changes over time. Songs included in major fake book publications (sheet music collections of popular tunes) and jazz reference works offer a rough guide to which songs are considered standards. Not all jazz standards were written by jazz composers. Many are originally Tin Pan Alley popular songs, Broadway show tunes or songs from Hollywood musicals – the Great American Songbook. In Europe, jazz standards and "fake books" may even include some traditional folk songs (such as in Scandinavia) or pieces of ethnic music (such as gypsy melodies) that have been played with a jazz feel by well known jazz players. A commonly played song can only be considered a jazz standard ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
