Performance by Steve Giordano and Bob Meashey, plus excepts from instructional segments from Steve's "Reharmonization - Part I - Exploring Stella"" Master Class (available for download at www.mikesmasterclasses.com).
Reharmonization is one of the most sought after, yet complex musical subjects in modern music. Guitarist Steve Giordano shares his insights, both philosophically and practically, with a complete walk-through of his very unique re-harm treatment of jazz standard "Stella by Starlight". The video opens with a full blown live performance with trumpeter Bob Meashey, as the duo interactively explores their way through this intriguing re-harm offering. In Part Two, "Why Re-Harm?", Steve gives a thorough explanation on the vague subject of reharmonization. In Part Three, "Aesthetic Choices", Steve walks the viewer though the piece, explaining in depth, the choices and how they relate to the original harmonies.
Yes, this is great music from wonderful musicians!!!!

Listen to those big ears, this is true musicianship. Very intriguing harmonies, melodies,a and counter-melodies. Giordano 's concentration on composition as it parallels jazz and classical idioms is readily apparent here. Next stop, studying composition...
