Question: What kind of song is Harlem nocturne!? is it classical or more jazz!? (or other)!?
Answers:
I agree Harlem Nocturne is a straight 8th!. Jazz Ballad, which is what might be causing the jazz/classical confusion!. Since it doesn't swing out right it often sounds very legit!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Written by Earle Hagen (also known for his TV soundtrack writing), "The Harlem Nocturne" is best called an R&B or jazz ballad; it structurally is somewhat reminiscent of a blues!. Check out the Earl Bostic reading (Bostic was an alto player of consummate technique who was equally at home playing jazz or R&B; a young John Coltrane played in his band in the early 50's)!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Its most definately jazz!Www@Enter-QA@Com
