Why isn't this done more? Back in the day, a huge amount of Jazz tunes were conceived from pop tunes. Is it copy-right or an unwillingness to stray from common practice keeping Jazz composer and musicians from doing this? Listening to music in my car, I can hear in my head arrangements of several songs I listen to for the big band or combo that aren't gimmicks, but use of modern music and progressions for improvised music. I'm making it a project to write a big band arrangement of "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden. (Which I hear as a latin style for some reason lol.)
It'll take me a while, I'm just a highschool kid, but I've already developed and outlined how I'm going to write the chart and I say to you SOTW; why don't you do it too? Write a tune or chart based on pop, rock, or whatever and post it here for others to play! If it isn't anything but fun, still try if you feel interested. Who knows, we could start a revolution. : )
