Thanks Sister Fae for igniting my interest to know something about jazz. A genre that have always intrigued me.

Part 1 : Pick out the original melody. The melody is the main theme of a song. In jazz, it's common for you to hear the same song twice and notice many differences between performers, performances, and even recordings. This is because jazz musicians have a great deal of freedom in how they play the base melody serving as the foundation for its sound. Learning to pick out the main melody among the complex variations of individual instrumentalists is part of the fun of jazz!

A groundbreaking recording from 1964 by pianist Jan Johansson, where he showed how you can take traditional Swedish music and create haunting jazz pieces. Just listen to the brilliant bass player Georg Riedel, who went on to become a great composer and musician in his own right.

This is “Visa från Utanmyra.” The original lyrics had the title, “Oh, Silent Solitude,” and can be traced to the 18th century. Utanmyra is a small village in Dalecarlia. The reason the song eventually got the name meaning “Song from Utanmyra,” is that it was first written down in 1906 and performed on pillar horn at a local music festival by a female musician from that village.
