By Charlie Parker. By Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Arranged by Gerhard Guter. Jazz. Score and parts. 31 pages. Gerhard Guter #3885091. Published by Gerhard Guter (A0.844242).The Charlie Parker/Dizzy Gillespie bebop classic, "Anthropology," is arranged here in a "cool" style reminiscent of writers such as Dave Pell. Arranged for nonet, but playable without the guitar and/or vibraphone parts, this treatment features a scat-style vocal atop piano, bass, and drums, with innovative backing figures provided by trumpet, alto sax, and trombone. Vocal is in an ideal key for male and/or female.
"Anthropology" opens with a bass solo over (brush) drums. The first A features a vocal/vibes melody over a highly syncopated stop-time provided by guitar, bass, and drums. Horns enter in gliding unison figures, spreading into harmony, and provide lots of punch and counterpoint as the chart progresses. By way of metric modulation, an Afro-Cuban vamp is an inventive send off for each improvising soloist. The chart concludes with in an "across-the-barline" rhythmic style style of writing over a satisfying harmonic sequence to wrap it all up.
