Description
This dissertation explores the relationship between jazz trombone performance and composing/arranging through interviews with four notable current jazz trombonist/composers. These include John Fedchock, Paul McKee, Fred Sturm, and Steve Wiest. The study attempts to draw conclusions regarding the relationship of the two disciplines based on material gathered from interviews with these jazz trombonist/composers. A brief biographical sketch of each interviewee, which details his professional contributions to the field, precedes each interview. A series of basic questions presented to all interviewees has been augmented by follow-up questions and other thoughts on the topic that the subjects have chosen to contribute. These additional questions have been informed by research into the subjects' work in the fields discussed. This inquiry has the potential to inform and influence trombonists, composers, and any other persons interested in the topic. It may also serve as a starting point for a continuing course of dialogue on the subject.
