 | | Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century. | | | When jazz musicians improvise, they usually use a chord progression — the series of chords that define the harmonic structure of a piece of music. | | | This marked a major shift of jazz as pop music for dancing to a high-art, less-accessible, cerebral "musician's music." Bop valued complex improvisations based on chord progressions rather than melody. |

| | He's not a guitarist, but Malian kora virtuoso Toumani Diabate rips it up, and his stuff has actually been a big influence on my jazz guitar in recent years. | | | What drove me to start studying jazz guitar was the solo during "Blues Walk" from Lyle Lovett and his Large Band. | | | After much deliberation and hand-wringing, I've decided to cover the guitarists that have been the most important to me. By "important" I mean that they've had a big influence not only on how my interests as a jazz fan have expanded but also on what happens when I pick up my own guitar. |

| | The podcasts will be listed and available for download on the Djangology.net site, as well as other music and podasting sites as opportunities become available. | | | My favorite lately appears to be the version recorded by the Moreno and Marina Quartet on “Jazz Tzigane” followed very closely by Am Ketenes on their “La Poupa” CD. | | | Depending on the amount of content that is contributed, I envision each podcast to be 1/2 hour of music, punctuated with information on bands, upcoming shows, festivals, etc. The frequency of the shows (monthly, weekly) will depend upon the amount of content that bands contribute. |

| | Chris Bergson : Jazz, Blues & Roots : Guitarist/Composer/Vocalist |
| | Add Chris Bergson to the growing list of young Jazz guitarists who are keeping the mainstream tradition alive and well in the ‘90s. | | | Although the down and dirty title track may well lead the listener to think that Bergson’s style was born in the delta and honed in juke joints up and down Chicago’s Maxwell Street, a look at his five other compositions on the disc show him to be a well rounded guitarist and composer. | | | That the preceding songs should hold their own amongst works by modern masters like Jobim, Monk and Bud Powell reinforces my point. |
