JOSHA is a service that helps scholars, researchers, and students discover, use, and build upon a wide range of content 1 C. Abstract (English)In this article we briefly introduce an original method, the purpose of which fundamentally lies in providing musicians with a reliable instrument that may effectively assist them in carrying out the chord progressions analisys. The method is primarily based upon the application, carried out by following a specific order, of a set of transformations, named CAT (Cataldo advanced Transformations), by means of which any harmonic progression may be converted into a mere sequence of plagal and perfect cadences. The abovementioned transformations, nothing but particularized inverse chord substitutions, arise from the analisis of a considerable number of traditional jazz compositions, carried out by accurately examining the so-called LEGO Bricks. It is worth underlining how the description of CAT herein provided is to be considered as being merely qualitative, since the formal definition of the transformations would require the usage of an extremely rigorous notation, elsewhere exploited in order to introduce the so-called Music Algebra. Keywords (English)CAT, Chord Progression, Chord Substitutions, Plagal Cadence, Perfect Cadence, Jazz, Harmonization, Reduction, Diminished Substitutions, Expansion, Tritone, Secondary Dominants, Diatonic Substitutions AbstractIn questo articolo presentiamo brevemente un metodo originale, il cui obiettivo risiede fondamentalmente nel fornire al musicista uno strumento affidabile che possa assisterlo efficacemente nella conduzione dell'analisi armonica. Il metodo si basa principalmente sull'applicazione sequenziale di una serie di trasformazioni, denominate CAT (acronimo per Cataldo Advanced Transformations), a mezzo delle quali è possibile ricondurre qualsivoglia progressione armonica ad una mera successione di cadenze plagali e perfette. Le trasformazioni, nulla più che sostituzioni armoniche inverse particolarizzate, scaturiscono dall'analisi di numerosi standard della tradizione jazzistica, effettuata riponendo attenzione particolare ai cosiddetti LEGO Bricks. Sottolineiamo come la descrizione delle CAT fornita in questa sede sia da ritenersi meramente qualitativa, siccome la definizione formale delle trasformazioni richiederebbe l'adozione d'una notazione assai rigorosa, altrove adoperata al fine di introdurre la cosiddetta Algebra Musicale.

This paper represents a summary of a research work, carried out during the last two years, finalized to creating a method that may concretely assist jazz students in mastering the Be-Bop language. We have three main sections. The first section is predominantly devoted to the so-called linear language. We start from the mere definition of the fundamental Be-Bop scales, discussing their metric characteristics. Then, we introduce the notions of chromatism and approach, and suggest a strategy that may allow to easily combine the scales with the seventh arpeggios in the corresponding key. The second section is focussed on the development of a more articulate language. On this purpose, we propose a method entirely based on triads. In particular, we estabilish a parallelism between the pure chordal notes and the fundamental elements that constituite a sentence (subject, verb, complement). Basically, we start from an extended sentence, the writing of which depends on the chord type, manifestly built on a triad (major or minor): then, we progressivley modify the sentence by carrying out cuts and adding new words. In the last section, the briefest, some very useful notions concerning the harmonic progressions analysis are provided, taking the opportunity to introduce the advanced concept of Music Algebra. josha.org
