For the latest Vortex online discussion, we consider the balance between originality in jazz and interpretation. Last Sunday, Calum Gourlay’s Big Band played Duke Ellington’s Queen’s Suite. How far could solos go, especially as the personalities in Ellington’s band were so strong on the recording?
Of course, many musicians take ‘heads’ from standards and then interpret them. But when do we move from ‘creation’ to ‘re-creation’.
Join Oliver Weindling, Vortex director, for this discussion. Open to all. Join on Zoom.
