"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."
November 7, 2009 | Danny Williams, Baritone Mandolin
We'd like to introduce you to the talents of mulit-instrumentalist and 5-string guru Danny Williams. Danny studied at Eastern Kentucky University, Snead State in Alabama and South Plains College in Texas. He specialized in performance and music theory, especially jazz theory. His love for the mandolin began 11 years ago, coincidently parallel on the timeline to the beginnings of JazzMando.com.
Williams teaches at the Lexington Music Academy in Lexington, Kentucky, offering private lessons in theory, mandolin, bass, and guitar, teaching all genres and all levels. He uses the concepts of theory to help students grow as musicians and improvisers. "I really love teaching people to be better musicians even if it means you want to do it for a career or just to release some stress from a long day."
Danny has a website, and in addition to his creative interpretations performing on the lower register electric baritone mandolin (tuned GDAEB), has started up his own "Lessons" contribution to the cyberworld. For now, sit back and enjoy the luscious voicings of his interpretation of "I Fall in Love Too Easily."
