Look at animated partitions for “So What” by Miles Davis, “Giant Steps” by Coltrane and the “Confirmation” by Charlie Parker by Charlie Parker

Miles Davis' A bit blue Changed jazz. It has changed music, the final point. So I take it very seriously. But when I see the animated partitions of the first cup, “so what”, I can't help but think of Charles Schulz Peanuts cartoons, and their Compositions by Vince Guaraldi. I mean no violations for miles. His modal jazz swings, and it's fun, as fun to listen to as looking in the arpeggios of the climb and the fall. Uploading YouTube, Dan Cohen, gives us this on his channel Animated partitionWith apologies to Jimmy Cobb for the lack of drum notation.

Also from the Cohen channel, we have the animation of the music of Charlie Parker. Never of the kind to follow its administrator, Parker has left his field unable to recover the fees of compositions as “confirmation” (above).

Nevertheless, everyone knows that it is the piece of Bird, and seeing him animated above, it is to see Parker dance a step very different from that of the Miles post-boy, a cool filled with complex melodic paragraphs instead of chordal sentences.

And above, we have massive “giant steps” of John Coltrane, with his rapid shots of fire, interrupted by mid-notes. Coltrane's emblematic composition of 1960 displays what Ira Gitler called in 1958 Exaggerated piece, “Sound leaves. “Gitler said that the image he had in his head was” bolts of wavy fabric when they were deployed “, but he would have just as well thought of rain leaves, so multitatorious and heavy is the melodic attack of Coltrane.

See Cohen's Animated partition Channel for two other pieces by Charlie Parker, “In Privave” and “Bloomdido”.
