by Bruce Arnold
Bruce Arnold, the New York-based guitarist-composer, educator,
and
author, has achieved a strikingly original sound by applying jazz
improvisational techniques to late 20th century 12-tone
compositional
methods. His live performances and recordings with The Bruce
Arnold
Trio consist of adventurous explorations of this unexpectedly
combustible sonic combination. This book takes an in depth look at
the
techniques he uses to derive his signature sound.
Full scores of all compositions are included in the ebook.
The ebook
edition also contains all audio files in MP3s format.
Bruce Arnold’s music has been warmly received by the press: Jazziz
Magazine wrote “Finding an original spin in a world full of
compositional cliches is no easy task, but guitarist Bruce Arnold
takes
an impressive shot on "Blue
Eleven" his debut recording as a leader.”
On “A Few
Dozen” the sound was New York downtown cool, with a banked,
dry ice burn. Of this CD, the Los Angles Times said, "Arnold's
music
never loses its contact with jazz and he deserves credit for his
effort
to expand the potential of the jazz palette." On his most recent
CD,
"Give
'Em Some" Arnold lets loose with hard-hitting rock riffs,
prompting the All Music Guide to write “(This CD) demonstrates
something Schoenberg and his followers couldn’t have foreseen:
that
serialism has applications beyond the concert hall and may even be
of
use to a guitar power trio."
In this book Bruce Arnold takes this highly complex subject, and
in
simple, clear language explains the methods used in his
compositions.
