Paul Read On Composing From The Inside Out
Composer and educator Paul Read explains how writing from the inside out produces forms we weren't expecting, using his piece "Prayer". Melody, harmony, rhythm, and orchestration may get all the credit, but form does a lot of the heavy lifting!

    occult knowledge. I guess sus chords are always "going somewhere" (the tonic is seriously unmoored) and the bass is the only clue that might indicate where that might be, which might be a very odd place, and the "ugliness" comes from realising that, despite the confidence of the performance, we're not going somewhere friendly: "Damn, the car broke down and now it's raining. Didn't we see a castle back there?"

    I had lots of fun in my jazz singing life writing arrangements of standards. Reharmonizing, groove stuff, much like what you are doing here. So many standards are wonderful compositions, but they get tiresome when always done the same way. I love what you did with Night and Day. Of course when you do interesting stuff with a tune, you'd better write a really clear chart so the reading won't wreck the gig for the band. (teehee)

    I was fortunate enough to attend the last Lake Placid Seminar in 2002. Rufus already had some great tunes in his repertoire. Being around Brookmeyer, McNeely and Billy Hart was pretty inspiring. It's fascinating to consider that Rufus started playing bass as an adult. Also, that he became serious about composing after a long and successful career as a player and educator. Everything that Rufus does is thoughtful, deeply personal and highly artistic. Thanks for this video.

    I really appreciate these videos. I've had several lightbulb moments with a little tidbit or comment that instantly unstuck a composition my brain had been mulling over. Today though, it's a new to me artist that I'm thankful you chose to highlight. I listened to the mentioned album twice last night...

    Frank Carlberg ! from your former student Dr D (Roland Davis) from NewEngCnsrvtry (but now with my real and new name) I will be conducting again in your hometown, Helsinki. I won their Favourite Conductor award at the last orchestra conducting Masterclass and will be the Assistant Teacher this year. Thank you for your insights and inspiration at NewEngCnsrvtry. You are a wonderful artist and teacher and I (and many others) appreciate you greatly. I wish you health and joy. hug 🫂 Dr D

    Well, I think this is likely the ONLY comment you've ever received from anyone else named "Jim McNeely!" My dad "John (Jack Basil McNeely) did compose jazz tunes, a couple songs written with my Dad and his writing partners, it was recorded by Duke Ellington. In closing, I also have played keyboards since about age 12, but ventured into demonstrating innovative electronic keyboard technologies to major artists rather than performing, started with MOOG Synthesizers, then a Laser Optic Keyboard called the Orchestron, then later acquired the original Mellotron Keyboard Company,. Anyway, I just wanted to say "Hello, and say how motivating your video here provides, keep making your great jazz albums, plus informative tips and topics. Kind Regards, Jim McNeely- Us Artists Group, LLC St.Petersburg, Florida, USA 👍👍
