Stop chorus
The stop chorus or stop time chorus is an arrangement or music technique that is occasionally used in jazz , but also in rock 'n' roll . The rhythm section gives brief accents several bars in a row only at the beginning of the bar (or even marks the first beat of every second bar or a four-bar group), while the soloist continues playing and improvising alone during the breaks - almost under difficult conditions. At first, the impression arises as if the beat has suddenly stopped. The stop chorus is z. T. used as an enhancer at the end of a piece.
As early as 1923, Johnny Dodds played a chorus long stop time during his clarinet solo in King Oliver's recording of Dippermouth Blues ; Oliver used this technique the following year when he recorded the Tom Cat Blues . Even Louis Armstrong used in his recording of Potato Head Blues with his Hot Five to stop Chorus. Beyond New Orleans jazz and Chicago jazz , the stop chorus is also used in modern jazz , for example by Sonny Rollins in I Know That You Know with Dizzy Gillespie or by the Modern Jazz Quartet in La Ronde .
