The second volume of Jazz Arrangers pursues the intent of analyzing orchestral pages in a historical path of musical analysis featuring some of the most representative contrapuntal composers, forerunners in the use of linear writing that witness the mutation and development of jazz arranging. The author’s approach selects and examines works considered to be of considerable interest at the time they saw the light of day, documents that still represent an indispensable reference for those interested in this discipline. The careful analyses search for details to reveal the unique trait that distinguishes the artist, with special attention to the novelties introduced that can suggest the evolutionary path of this art.
