ARTICLE DETAILS

Author: Glenn Griffith
Title: The Jazz Stylings of Jack Nebergall
Summary: Glenn Griffith discusses the arranging styles and techniques of the extraordinary harpist, Jack Nebergall, one of the first to adapt popular to the harp. Using examples from Nebergall’s arrangements, Mr. Griffith explores his use of song structure and form, melody, harmony, melodic fills, and special effects. Some of the examples included are “The Boy Next Door,” “Emily,” and “The Shadow of Your Smile.” Jack Nebergall’s process of arranging is discussed in detail, and while all harpists are encouraged to study and learn his style of arranging, ultimately the goal is to define a unique voice.
