This arrangement of the song is from Joe Pass’s hit 1973 album Virtuoso. This is the first song off of that record and is a great example of how Pass took jazz solo guitar playing to new heights as he was able to combine single note lines, chords, and bass all at the same time with great fluidity.This I Dig of You / HANK MOBLEYThis song is from saxophonist Hank Mobley’s classic 1960 Blue Note Record Soul Station. The tune is indicative of the hard bop idiom as it contains elements of blues, R&B, and gospel music. It has an ABAC structure as opposed to the more common AABA form. The A section is a Latin section containing static diatonic harmony while the B and C sections are in swing and contain many chord move-ments.Luteous Pangolin / BEN MONDERComposed by New York based guitarist Ben Monder for his album Excavation (2000), this song serves as a great introduction to his unique style of playing. Eschewing standard tonic to dominant cadences, the song moves through chords in a seemingly aleatoric fashion with respect to conventional harmony. Various unconventional chord voicings which stretch the hand uncomfortably at times are used by Monder to achieve desired voice leading. Monder has released 5 solo re-cords and appeared as a sideman on over 200, most notably with Maria Schneider and Paul Motian. The meaning of the song title is ‘Yellow Scaly Anteater.’ Wave / ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM A bossa nova tune written by the Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, this song was featured on the chart topping 1967 album of the same name. In Portu-guese ‘bossa nova’ means ‘new trend,’ and this style fuses together samba and jazz. The lyrics are about falling in love, or catching the ‘wave,’ of love.Moment’s Notice / JOHN COLTRANEThis song is from the John Coltrane’s classic 1957 record Blue Train. At the time, this song contained some of the most difficult and fast moving changes, foreshad-owing the even more classic 1960 album Giant Steps, which contained arguably his most complex chord changes.Upcoming EventsKennesaw State University School of MusicThe School of Music at KSU has dedicated, vibrant, and talented faculty and staff that are completely devoted to teaching, performing, scholarship, and serving our community.
