Showcases Ron Westray's original and adapted jazz compositions, emphasising the need for deep knowledge of jazz theory and various tonal approaches to support historical and modern compositional practices
This anthology consists of original compositions and arrangements as well as adaptations, arrangements and orchestrations of pre-existing compositions of Ron Westray, to date. The stylistic considerations of jazz improvisation and composition require an extensive and working knowledge of jazz theory and mastery of diatonic, bitonal, poly-tonal and atonal theoretical maximums and processes. This anthology presents compositional references supporting historical maxims in jazz and modern composition. Select scores/parts of your choice are available with proof of purchase. Author contact information is included inside the volume.
