  • The Evolution of Improvisation in Early Jazz Piano Pedagogy

    Open AccessHenry Martins, Henry MartinARTICLEMusic Theory Online2025

    This article engages the history of jazz theory, investigating how the concept of improvisation evolved pedagogically in jazz piano methods from ragtime to the early 1930s.Early jazz theory publications did not teach improvisation as currently conceived, but rather how to play popular songs as songs with their melodies recognizable as such.In the 1910s, this primarily meant how to "rag" melodies, and then, in the 1920s, how to insert "breaks," or…

  • On the Tonic Added-Sixth Chord in Jazz

    Open AccessHenry Martins, Henry MartinARTICLEMusic Theory Online2023

    This article investigates the major-mode tonic added-sixth chord in jazz, a characteristic harmony well established by the 1930s. Beginning around 1930, routine use of the tonic added-sixth chord established it as a “dialect” distinct from the triadic dialect of early jazz, ragtime, and the various styles and genres antecedent to jazz. The article begins with an examination of how ".fn_scaledegree(6)."/I can be understood as both “dependent” on "…

  • Four Studies of Charlie Parker's Compositional Processes

    Open AccessHenry Martins, Henry MartinARTICLEMusic Theory Online2018References: 20

    Charlie Parker has been much appreciated as an improviser, but he was also an important jazz composer, a topic yet to be studied in depth. Parker's compositions offer insight into his total musicianship as well as provide a summary of early bebop style. Because he left no working manuscripts, we cannot examine his compositions evolving on paper. We do possess occasional single parts for trumpet or alto saxophone of pieces written for recording se…

  • "Charlie Parker and "Honeysuckle Rose

    Open AccessHenry Martins, Henry MartinARTICLEMusic Theory Online2012Cited by: 1References: 7

    One of the most intriguing items in the Charlie Parker discography is his first recording, a medley of "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Body and Soul" performed as an alto saxophone solo. Probably recorded in 1940, "Honeysuckle Rose" is unique: a multichorus solo from early in his career. For the first time we hear Parker confronting the problem of embedding a well-known swing standard inside the personal network of improvisational formulas necessary for …

  • Individuation and paideia

    Open AccessLuigi Zoja, Henry Martins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Analytical Psychology1997References: 2

    This article attempts to discover an important historical precedent for the concept of individuation in the idea of paideia , which today, mistakenly, is often understood to have been simply the form of ‘education’ practised in ancient Greece. Paideia , however, was not limited to the instruction of youth and was based on no fixed programmes. It was conceived as continuing throughout the life of the individual, and as a development of natural, in…
