As a collaborative pianist, learning and performing works that were not originally composed for the piano is standard practice. Wynton Marsalis’ The Ever Fonky Lowdown, premiered in 2018 and digitally released in 2020, is a monumental work for narrator, three singers and jazz big band. The purpose of this research is to create a vocal score so that the work can be rehearsed and potentially performed by a pianist without the full jazz band. This paper and subsequent vocal score should serve as important resources for collaborative pianists and singers, and will help to enhance their knowledge and understanding in preparing this work. This research project is divided into three large sections. The first section starts with a brief commentary on the relationship between The Ever Fonky Lowdown and Marsalis’ earlier work From the Plantation to the Penitentiary, as both works explore similar themes and ideas. This is followed by an analysis of the lyrics and description of each musical number, as well as a discussion of the narration by Mr. Game. The Ever Fonky Lowdown comments on societal issues of the past, present and potentially future, such as freedom, race, greed, consumerism and cultural decay. Wynton Marsalis wrote the narration, lyrics and music, and often masks these societal problems with sarcasm and satire. Presenting a description of the narration, lyrics and music will not only promote future research on this important work, but also will aid the rehearsal and performance process for both collaborative pianists and singers. The second portion of this paper describes some of the reduction techniques used in creating the vocal score. While portions of the reduction process were relatively straightforward, others were more complex. The focus of the second half of the paper is to present the more noteworthy reduction techniques in order for collaborative pianists to understand how the composition was reduced, and perhaps apply similar techniques to their own future projects. The final portion of this research is the complete vocal score for The Ever Fonky Lowdown.
