INTRODUCTION
How Do You Start?
A
nyone who has performed a song in front of an audience knows just
how important a musical introduction to it can be. An intro sets the
mood of a piece, establishes a key, and prepares the listener for
what's to come. Most commonly, an intro will present an important piece of
melodic material-the last part of the chorus of a song, for example-to estab
lish a theme. While this can be a very effective technique, an intro can be any
number of things. It can serve as a cue for other musicians or performers (see
Hyman, p. 50); it can establish a characteristic "groove" (Scivales, p. 132); or it
can suggest extra-musical clues, such as dock tower bells (Morrís, p. 29). An
intro can even be deceptive, beginning in one tonality and leading into anoth
er (Morris, p. 69). Indeed, there are as many ways to introduce a song as there
are piano players in the world. (And at last count there was no shortage!)
But the truth is, sometimes the greatest hurdle to creating a successful per
formance is starting out in the right way.
Tiús book is designed to offer piano players a source of intros from which to
draw for a variety of musical settings. While we've included categories spedf
ic to well-established styles-Latin, countnj, waltz, etc.-the majority of the pop
and jazz intros are divided into three broad classifications: ballads (for slower
tunes), medium tempo (for many swing hin.es and other moderately-paced
songs) and up tempo (for faster songs). This will allow the individual player to
select intros based on tempo, since many of the intros can be adapted to fit dif
ferent styles. However, this is not to say that an intro found in the ballad cate
gory, for example, has to be used for a hallad: the categories (and tempo indi
cations) contained herein should be used simply as guides. We've also includ
ed a special Ellington category that will allow you to play in the style of this
great j azz master. And since transposition is so often a factor in pcrforming,
we've set each example in tlu:ee keys.
In addition, our arrangers have provided suggestions for tunes that work
well with a particular intro, which we've organized into a handy index for
quick reference. Naturally, these are simply suggestions-most of these intros
are "generic" and can be used for any number of tunes.
Ultimatel)'1 this book will best serve as a way to help you develop your own
personally-styled intros and arrangements.

Sorne old songs are sung out of tempo. The introduction should therefore be out of tempo and
might use the last four bars of the chorus.

Ellington
DAV I D B E RG E R
Song Suggestion:
Warm Valley
"Warm Valley" is probably Ellington's most haunting intro. In case there is any question as to
the meaning of the title, I might point out that the piece on the flip side of the original 78rpm
record was "Flaming Sword." The melody and chords of the tune form a descending chromatic
scale, hence the right hand of this intro moves back and forth from D to C#, with diatonic pass
ing notes displaced an octave higher. Harmonically, Ellington creates the illusion of something
more complex than what is actually going on by setting up three-note consonant chords in the
left hand and adding a fourth note in the right. The resulting sounds are Ebm(maj7)/Bb,
Bbdim7, repeated tv.1ice, Ebm(maj7) /Bb and F13b9. A nice touch is the descending Ebm6 chord
in the right hand in the last measure. This arpeggio combines C to Bb motif of the right hand
and the Ebm chord of the left hand-a neatly wrapped package.

Song Suggestion:
Conga Brava
This intro sets up a Latin groove. Although the emphasis is rhythmic (rh: 3 notes plus four
notes, repeated), there is also interesting melodic, harmonic and dynamic material. The
melody starts with an ascending octave, descends a fourth, then moves upwards in a stepwise
fashion. In the intro, the top note in the right hand ascends a fifth then a fourth (creating an
octave between the first and third notes). The second measure repeats this pattern, but adds
an extra note a step above (foreshadowing the ascending stepwise motion in the tune).
Harmonically, Ellington is planting the seeds for modal jazz twenty years hence. Although the
tune is in major, he plays two incomplete minor ninth chords followed by another parallel
ninth chord, thereby giving us a cross-relation of a minar and major third. This is the same
voicing Horace Silver popularized in the 1960s on tunes like "Nutville."

Song Suggestion:
Moo11 Mist
"Moon Mist" is another Ellington mood piece, this time a collaboration between Duke and his
son Mercer. The left hand defines the basic chords in half notes while the right hand plays a
sequence of arpeggios. The first bar is a Dm7 arpeggio over a Cm-the sixth, ninth, eleventh,
and the root. The second bar uses the same rhytlun and shape, but different pitches. Instead of
starting with tensions and landing on a chord tone, Ellington arpeggiates the triad and lands
on the ninth of Fm, which becomes the thirteenth of Bb7 (the note G).
Measure three is a development of the arpeggio motif-in this case a Cm arpeggio followed by
an A flat eighth note and a repeat of the Cm arpeggio. Wc finally land on the ninth of Cm in
measure four, which becomes the third of Bb7. We can also look at measures three and four as
Abmaj7 Bb7b9 E7#9. The final chord (E7#9) leads us to believe that the first chord of the tune
will be Eb, however we are surprised to learn it is Cm. Perhaps the top note of the voicing (G)
makes it feel logical that we are going to Cm, because G is the dominant of Cm.

Song Suggestion:
Lady Of The Lavender Mist
"Lady Of The Lavender Mist," another fine mood piece, also deals with a melodic arpeggiat
ed right hand (this time downward) against a chordal left hand. There is a Bb pedal in the
pinky of the left hand over which Ellington uses the following chord progression: Eb6 G7
(which over the Bb makes a Bb13b9 chord) Eb6 Ebdim(maj7) Bbsus4 Ebmaj7(add6). Note that
the rhythm of the right hand has a very similar construction to "Moon Mist." Also notice the
descending blues pentatonic scale in measure four. After al1 the B-flats on the bottom, the
B-flats on the top are most satisfying. It doesn't hurt that B -flat is the donúnant of the upcom
ing Eb chord.

Song Suggestion:
Take Tite 'A' Train
This is probably the most farnous intro in jazz. In one measure, Ellington epitomizes the entire
piece. The movement from C to D7b5, combined with the descending minor sixth from E to
Ab, is the most distinguishing motif in the tune.
The tempo and swing style of the pieces are set up by the rhythm. Note the slight rhytlm1ic
alteration in the left hand in the third bar (a small surprise), the descending whole tone scale
in the right hand, and the smooth voice leading in the left hand.

Song Suggestion:
fo A Mellotone
"In A Mellotone" is a very s:imple repetitive riff tune that basically moves from G to Ab. This
intro follows suit. Not only <loes the melody center around the resolution of G to Ab, but so do
the harmonies (Ab9 G9 Ab9). Although the tune uses diatonic connecting notes (G Eb F G Ab),
the intro uses a chromatic planing effect (Ab G E G Ab), so that we have a beat and a half in G,
or rather G mixolydian.
The first six and a half bars use chromatically moving ninth chords in the left hand. If we look
at the fir�t chord, we find what has become a typical piano voicing. That is, the left hand con
tains a complete voicing (from the bottom up: third, seventh, ninth) and the right hand has the
melody in octaves (the root). Such a voicing would be atypical for horns (although it can be
quite effective), but is the basis of piano shout choruses by mainstream pianists such as Osear
Peterson, Ahmad Jamal and Red Garland. Notice the descending chromatic movement down
to the F9 (the dominant of Bb7, the first chord of the tune) in bars six to seven.
Bars seven and eight contain one of the key Ellington pianistic trademarks: the descending
arpeggio. Ellington uses two-, three- or four-note arpeggios repeated in successive octaves. In
this case we are on an F9 chord and Ellington uses only two different pitches: the fifth and the
root. Note the dramatic effect of using extreme registers: measure one starts at the top of the
piano and measure eight finishes at the bottom.

Song Suggestion:
Things Ain't What 11iey Used 11zey Used To Be
One of the basic techniques in jazz is call and response. In "In A Mellotone," the piano trades
"ones" with the bass (first bar piano solo, second bar bass, third bar piano, fourth bar bass, fifth
bar piano, sixth bar piano and bass, seventh bar piano, eighth bar saxes). "Things Ain't What
They Used They Used To Be" also uses call and response. Ellington starts by trading two beats
between the piano and the drwns, coupled with the piano left hand. In the third bar he trades
beats, and in the fourth bar he trades eighth notes for three beats, finishing with two chords
that bring the two elements together.
The right hand voicings here are typical of the stride piano tradition dating back to James P.
Johnson and Fats Waller. Both Ellington and Basie were disciples and used these voicings
throughout their careers. The idea is that the tonic remains constant on the top, the sixth degree
remains constant on the bottom, while the middle voice moves back and forth between the
third and fourth degrees, in this example creating Db6 and Gb triads. The open spacing helps
create this characteristic sound. The final beat of the intro moves from 09#11 to Db6/9. This
spacing (from the bottom up: root, fifth, third, seventh, ninth and augmented eleventh resolv
ing clown to root, fifth, third, sixth, ninth, fifth) is common to many pianists, including Art
Tatum, Bud Powell and Tadd Dameron. It is also a very common voicing for horns.
