Claude Debussy was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His mature compositions, distinctive and appealing, combined modernism and sensuality so successfully that their sheer beauty often obscures their technical innovation. Debussy’s use of chromaticism and whole-tone scales and his treatment of harmony in a revolutionary manner of musical impressionism as well as his successions of dissonant chords that do not resolve had a profund influence on jazz music in the early 20th Century especially on George Gershwin, Duke Ellington and Fats Waller whose compositions contain many of these unique chords, and would later become an inspiration for bebop musicians such as Charlie Parker and Thelonius Monk as well as Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. In celebration of Debussy’s 164th Birthday on Saturday the 22nd I would like to recommend the outstanding 2000 documentary Claude Debussy Music Cannot Be Learned which provides deep insight into Claude Debussy’s life based on reports by those who encountered him such as Eric Satie, George Copeland, Marguerite Long and Georges Gachot
