In these recorded comments by Slonimsky, his musical world (classical/avant garde) and that of Frank Zappa (popular/avant garde) came together primarily due to the publication of a book by Slonimsky on scales and harmonies that attracted Zappas attention. Slonimsky recounts his acceptance of an invitation by Zappa to play with his Rock Band. He also recounts how amazed he was when he observed Zappas scores for classical music which looked far out like something Edgar Varese would write, a composer who was admired by both Slonimsky and Zappa.
Recorded at Slonimsky's home in Los Angeles by Charles Amirkhanian in 1983.

Jeff talks about the work of music legend Nicolas Slonimsky, whose intervalic approach was studied by such luminaries as Allan Holdsworth, John Coltrane, Pat Martino, and John Scofield. Jeff shares a Slonimsky line and discusses how it gives purpose to technique - and to the popular practice of "string crossing."

Nicolas Slonimsky
Nicolas Slonimsky (April 27 [O.S. April 15] 1894 – December 25, 1995), born Nikolai Leonidovich Slonimskiy (Russian: Никола́й Леони́дович Сло́нимский), was a Russian-born American conductor, author, pianist, composer and lexicographer. Best known for his writing and musical reference work, he wrote the Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns and the Lexicon of Musical Invective, and edited Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians.
Life and work
Early life in Russia and Europe
Slonimsky was born Nikolai Leonidovich Slonimskiy in Saint Petersburg. He was of Jewish origin; his grandfather was Rabbi Chaim Zelig Slonimsky. His parents adopted the Orthodox faith after the birth of his older brother, and Nicolas was baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church. His maternal aunt, Isabelle Vengerova, later a founder of Philadelphia's Curtis Institute, was his first piano teacher. He grew up in the intelligentsia, and after the Russian revolution he moved south first to Kiev, then to Constantinople, and ultimately to Paris, where many other Russian musicians had already fled. He worked as accompanist to conductor Serge Koussevitzky, and toured Europe in 1921-22 as accompanist to Vladimir Rosing. In 1923 Rosing became director of opera at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, and invited Slonimsky to join him. His younger brother Mikhail remained in Russia and became an author, and his nephew Sergei became a composer.

In these recorded comments by Slonimsky, his musical world (classical/avant garde) and that of Frank Zappa (popular/avant garde) came together primarily due to the publication of a book by Slonimsky on scales and harmonies that attracted Zappas attention.

He also recounts how amazed he was when he observed Zappas scores for classical music which looked far out like something Edgar Varese would write, a composer who was admired by both Slonimsky and Zappa.

In these recorded comments by Slonimsky, his musical world (classical/avant garde) and that of Frank Zappa (popular/avant garde) came together primarily due to the publication of a book by Slonimsky on scales and harmonies that attracted Zappas attention. Slonimsky recounts his acceptance of an invitation by Zappa to play with his Rock Band. He also recounts how amazed he was when he observed Zappas scores for classical music which looked far out like something Edgar Varese would write, a composer who was admired by both Slonimsky and Zappa.
Recorded at Slonimsky's home in Los Angeles by Charles Amirkhanian in 1983.

This lesson teaches the basic concepts of the Nicolas Slonimsky book "Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns" and how some of those concepts can be applied to the guitar. This book has been used by musicians such as: John Coltrane, Frank Zappa and one of my all time favourite player: Allan Holdsworth.

Jeff talks about the work of music legend Nicolas Slonimsky, whose intervalic approach was studied by such luminaries as Allan Holdsworth, John Coltrane, Pat Martino, and John Scofield. Jeff shares a Slonimsky line and discusses how it gives purpose to technique - and to the popular practice of "string crossing."

In this lesson, we're going to take a look at some exercises that I pulled from Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns. Many musicians such as Frank Zappa, John Coltrane and Jaco Pastorius would use this book to practice and subsequently apply these concepts to jazz improvisation.

Nicolas Slonimsky
Nicolas Slonimsky (April 27 [O.S. April 15] 1894 – December 25, 1995), born Nikolai Leonidovich Slonimskiy (Russian: Никола́й Леони́дович Сло́нимский), was a Russian-born American conductor, author, pianist, composer and lexicographer. Best known for his writing and musical reference work, he wrote the Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns and the Lexicon of Musical Invective, and edited Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians.
Life and work
Early life in Russia and Europe
Slonimsky was born Nikolai Leonidovich Slonimskiy in Saint Petersburg. He was of Jewish origin; his grandfather was Rabbi Chaim Zelig Slonimsky. His parents adopted the Orthodox faith after the birth of his older brother, and Nicolas was baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church. His maternal aunt, Isabelle Vengerova, later a founder of Philadelphia's Curtis Institute, was his first piano teacher. He grew up in the intelligentsia, and after the Russian revolution he moved south first to Kiev, then to Constantinople, and ultimately to Paris, where many other Russian musicians had already fled. He worked as accompanist to conductor Serge Koussevitzky, and toured Europe in 1921-22 as accompanist to Vladimir Rosing. In 1923 Rosing became director of opera at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, and invited Slonimsky to join him. His younger brother Mikhail remained in Russia and became an author, and his nephew Sergei became a composer.
