The JGC History series features specifically curated playlists to help trace the lineage of some of the most influential jazz compositions of all time.

Some notes about the composition from the JGC Real Book,

Composer: Dizzy Gillespie

Year: 1942

Origin: Introduced by Sarah Vaughan in 1944 as "Interlude".

Style: A combination of straight and swing feels, typically played at brighter tempos.

Form: A-A-B-A (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8]
The A sections are played straight with the exception of the final 2 bars, while the B section is swung. This arrangement commonly used for the head only with the solo section entirely swung.

Intro: The bassline that moves from bII7 - Imi6 is usually used to begin the performance, and there is also a counter-melody that goes along with it.

Send-off: After the head in a 12 bar send-off is used to lead into the solos. This is then followed by a solo break which is commonly 4 bars long. It is typically only used the first time around, although it is sometimes used to introduce every new soloist. This section is played entirely swung.

Shout Chorus: After all the melodic soloists are finished a shout chorus is sometimes included. The shout played during the A sections while the B section is left open to the drummer. Sonny rollins offers a concise interpretation of this arrangement on his recording from A Night at the Village Vanguard.

Key: D minor

Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is mainly functional. The main theme revolves around the constant arrival of bII7 - Imi, which is essentially V7alt - Imi (tri-tone substitution). The bridge is identical to that of "Alone Together", taking place in the relative Major and moving from II - V of II before a II - V - I.

Recordings: This song has been recorded over 400 times to date and is a widely popular standard. The first recording comes from Sarah Vaughan in 1944 and was originally entitled "Interlude", featuring lyrics written by Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day. One of the earliest instrumental recordings of Dizzy Gillespie performing the piece comes a 1945 session with Boyd Raeburn and his Orchestra. Dizzy would later record and perform this piece many times throughout his career, leaving several particularly legendary recordings behind.

JGC Top Picks:
Sonny Rollins, A Night at the Village Vanguard, 1957
McCoy Tyner, Today and Tomorrow, 1963
Dave Liebman, Besame Mucho and Other Latin Jazz Standards, 1993

The Amazing Nana Amy Jacques Garvey : Curating Culture # 21 AfroN8V 34 Views • 3 months ago

Presenter: Prof. Rupert Lewis
Author, Professor Emeritus - University of the West Indies, Mona

Dr Rupert Lewis is Professor Emeritus of Political Thought in the Department of Government, University of the West Indies, Jamaica. Among his books published in the UWI Press Caribbean biography series are Marcus Garvey in 2018 and Walter Rodney in 2024. He is also author of Walter Rodney’s Intellectual and Political Thought and has edited books on George Padmore, the Trinidadian-born Pan-Africanist and Richard Hart, the Jamaican Marxist. He is a member of Jamaica’s
National Council on Reparation. He played an important role in the restoration and development of “Liberty Hall: the Legacy of Marcus Garvey” working with a team led by Ms. Elaine Melbourne, Mr Vivian Crawford, and Liberty Hall’s founding director, Dr Donna McFarlane. He was a member of the Council of the Institute of Jamaica and chair of the ACIJ JMB.

📚 Amy Jaques Garvey, 1896-1973: Black Revolutionary Mothering

Abstract: Interpreting letters written by Amy Jacques Garvey in the 1950s, I discuss her parenting of Marcus Garvey Jnr, an
engineer and scientist, and Dr. Julius Garvey, surgeon, and how she singlehandedly guided their Pan-Africanism. I also discuss the role she played in shaping Marcus Garvey’s legacies in the early stages of African and Caribbean decolonization and extract lessons for Pan-African struggles today.

Whether you're a student, researcher, cultural practitioner, or simply curious about Jamaica’s heritage, this session will deepen your understanding of the African elements that continue to enrich our culture.

🎥 Tune in for a thought-provoking and culturally grounding presentation.
