A Jazz Improvisation Primer This is the online version of my text, A Jazz Improvisation Primer. Here you can find information on almost every topic relating to jazz improvisation, from jazz history to music theory to practical advice on playing in a group. A German translation, by Edgar Lins, is online, at There is also a Hungarian translation at provided by Makrai Balázs. John Coltrane Despite a relatively brief career (he first came to notice as a sideman at age 29 in 1955, formally launched a solo career at 33 in 1960, and was dead at 40 in 1967), saxophonist John Coltrane was among the most important, and most controversial, figures in jazz. It seems amazing that his period of greatest activity was so short, not only because he recorded prolifically, but also because, taking advantage of his fame, the record companies that recorded him as a sideman in the 1950s frequently reissued those recordings under his name and there has been a wealth of posthumously released material as well. Since Coltrane was a protean player who changed his style radically over the course of his career, this has made for much confusion in his discography and in appreciations of his playing. There remains a critical divide between the adherents of his earlier, more conventional (if still highly imaginative) work and his later, more experimental work. Coltrane was the son of John R.
accueil et nouveautés Orphelins de laboratoire (par Liam Scheff) Pendant que des enfants meurent en direct à Besla devant les téléviseurs du monde entier, d’autres agonisent en silence entre les murs blancs d’une clinique, à l’abri des regards indiscrets. Pour ces orphelins séropositifs il n’y aura pas de couverture médiatique ou si peu. Un hebdomadaire, le New York Press, a néanmoins brisé le silence religieusement observé par la grande majorité des media sur la controverse des dissidents du SIDA en publiant un article décapant de Liam Scheff ; un journaliste engagé qui signe ici une enquête sur les études pharmacologiques menées à Washington sur des enfants abandonnés. Si les thèses des dissidents ou « rethinkers » sont maintenant bien connues, les milieux autorisés de la recherche sur le SIDA se gardent pourtant bien de répondre techniquement à leurs arguments qualifiés, au choix, de révisionnistes, conspirationnistes ou bio végétariens.

Science-fiction: qui est Philip K. Dick? Depuis plusieurs années, l’écrivain Philip K. Dick a une côte phénoménale à Hollywood. Il n'en profite pas vraiment: l'Américain, né en 1928, est mort à 53 ans en 1982, très apprécié du cercle des amateurs de S-F mais quasi-inconnu du grand public. Quelques mois après son trépas, sortait en salle un film adapté de ses écrits: le fameux Blade Runner de Ridley Scott. DICKIEN ?
