Recently David Ruzick a new member posted his excellent take on a Gillock piece, its listed below. And at the same time honor this wonderful composer. In this thread I hope to post with everyone's help many of William Gillock pieces by way of U tube examples that might inspired and motivate the community to try. The Jazz and Blues pieces speak for them selves.
They are in a classical reading format with a modern sound. My teacher also had me pick up 3 of his Jazz/blues books which also has some amazing pieces.įor those in the late stages of the Alfred series these are a great way to advance you playing. After working with a couple and viewing many on U tube, I'm totally impressed by his work. Recently my teacher had me start working in a masterful book called Lyric Preludes in Romantic Style (24 short pieces in all keys). Maybe in 100 years people might look back at his work, like the way we look back at all the old masters we think of today. I thought I'd start a a thread honoring and appreciating a great American Composer.
