So…here it is. Finally, I have a WordPress account. I’ve decided to consolidate all my various Jazz Music related postings, ramblings, twitters and other epithets onto a single source.
So why ‘Quartal Harmony’? Well it’s a term that defines a particular style of musical harmony which relies upon intervals of perfect fourths to form chords. It can be heard in many pieces of music throughout the history of Jazz, from the 1940s due to modern times.
Musicians known to have composed and performed pieces using quartal harmony include Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and McCoy Tyner.
