本課程將從練習如何play inside tunes 開始:包括旋律的延展、音階的使用、guide tone
lines 的變奏、節奏上與旋律上的動機發展等技巧。接著再運用不同的手法,來提升演奏的張力,包括:
1.
和聲上:變化和弦、代用和弦、頑固低音、upper structure的運用等
2.
旋律上:不完全屬於調性的音階之使用以及如何解決它、旋律句型的運用與移動、半音線條的使用等
3.
節奏上:跨小節線句型、錯置的旋律線、延後節決等技巧
4.
音響上:有效運用音量變化來製造張力
Playing Inside and Outside / Employing Tension and Release
We will begin by examining ways to effectively
play inside tunes: expanding on the melody, using common scales, improvising
around guide tone lines, and developing rhythmic and melodic motifs.
Then we will look at ways to get more tension
into our playing. This can be achieved through:
1 1. harmony - altering chords, using substitutions,
creating pedal points, and soloing on upper structures of the chords
1 2. melody – using scales that are partially in key
and deciding when to resolve them, playing melodic phrases or patterns and
moving them around, and using chromatic lines
3 3. rhythm – playing over the bar line, displacing
lines, and using delayed resolutions

Bio
Danny Zanker began his
career as a bassist at the age of sixteen, playing professionally all over the
state of Texas. Eventually his love of jazz led him to start playing the double
bass and move to New York, where he went on to play with many of the finest
musicians in the world. During his time in New York, he had long stints in a
variety of Balkan and Middle Eastern groups, as well as with a number of avant
garde groups and original modern jazz groups. After having absorbed a wealth of
rhythmic and harmonic ideas from his peers, Danny began to compose his own
music, and this led him to form his own band, Anti-Elevator Mission, which in
turn led to more tours and more recognition.
In the summer of 2009, Danny decided to take a break from the
rigors of NYC and move to Shanghai. Since then, he has been playing regularly
with several prominent bands there, including Li Xiaochuan Quartet, Coco Zhao
and the Possicobilities, Jasmine and her Jazzmen, and the Zhang Xiongguan trio.
Danny is also a regular member of the Heyday Club house trio, and he is also
doing well leading his own group, the Zankin Fives, a band that navigates
fearlessly through his rhythmically challenging, emotionally driven
compositions.
In the past couple of years, Danny has also performed with
several visiting artists, including Antonio Hart, Wayne Escoffrey, Tina May,
Stefan Karlsson, Gianni Gagliardi, and many more. He has also appeared
regularly in the JZ Festival with Coco Zhao, Li Xiaochuan, Jasmine Chen, Zhang
Le, and Jade Lee, and in the summer of 2015 he spent a week in France
performing at the Antibes Jazz Festival.
