DIGGIN’ THE DORIAN

Richard Linton

Duration: 4’50” Level: 3

Program Notes:

Written as an educational tool for intermediate to advanced jazz ensembles, Diggin’ the Dorian is a groovy exploration of everyone's favourite

mode - the Dorian.

Performance Notes:

The drum groove is based on the Weather-Report classic, Birdland. Drummers should listen to and play along with the classic recording to

internalise the groove for the A section. The B section half-time groove the drums and bass need to ensure the quaver pushes really lock in. The

rhythm section is scored very simply so as to allow the piano and guitarists the option to impart their own personality in their accompanying

figures. The voicings in the piano part are a guide – young performers should research and experiment with different 4th voicings. They should

listen to the great modal recordings from the Kind of Blue era.

As the melody in the [A] section is somewhat stagnant, the Trumpet and Alto sax (and flute flute) should look to shape each long note with

subtle crescendo and decrescendo, adding vibrato towards the end of the note. Whatever is decided, of course it needs to be done together. The

backing and counter-melodic figures during the A section should also ensure that they do not overpower the soloists.

Young soloists are encouraged to analyse the written solos in order to gain ideas for their own improvisations, particularly the use of motifs and

motivic development. Over the C minor chord, the Dorian mode is a great scale to start with, but also the Blues scale and various pentatonic

scales are useful and simple alternatives. At [E], the solos provides ample challenge with a more unusual chord progression. Soloists need to

begin to familiarise themselves with improvising over ii-7 V7 progressions in a variety of keys (including the so-called hard ones). During the

ascending chords at the end of the solo students could explore the use of 4th-based lines as a basis to explore the changes.

About the Composer:

Richard is a Melbourne based music teacher and freelance musician. He studied at the University of Adelaide, graduating with a B.Mus (Hons)

in Jazz Performance in 2003. Since moving to Melbourne, Richard has performed as a freelance musician in a wide variety of styles and

ensembles. Most notably, he was on the roster of trumpet players for both Melbourne seasons of The Jersey Boys as well as numerous big band

and cover bands. Richard has composed and arranged works for big band, concert band as well as theatrical and orchestral performance.

Richard also has a passion for music education and is currently the senior music teacher at Penola Catholic College. A number of his ex-students

continue their musical studies at a tertiary level, as well as working in the industry as performers, composers and arrangers.
