    JUKEBOX JAZZ by Ian Muldoon* ____________________________________________________ n 1955 Bill Haley’s Rock Around the Clock was the first rock and roll record to become number one on the hit parade. It had made a stunning introduction in I the opening moments to a film called Blackboard Jungle. But at that time my favourite record was one by Lionel Hampton. I was not alone. Me and my three jazz loving friends couldn’t be bothered spending hard-earned cash on rock and roll records. Our quartet consisted of clarinet, drums, bass and vocal. Robert (nickname Orgy) was learning clarinet; Malcolm (Slim) was going to learn drums (which in due course he did under the guidance of Gordon LeCornu, a percussionist and drummer in the days when Sydney still had a thriving show scene); Dave (Bebop) loved the bass; and I was the vocalist a la Joe (Bebop) Lane. We were four of 120 RAAF apprentices undergoing three years boarding school training at Wagga Wagga RAAF Base from 1955-1957. Of course, we never performed together but we dreamt of doing so and luckily, dreaming was not contrary to RAAF regulations. Wearing an official RAAF beret in the style of Thelonious Monk or Dizzy Gillespie, however, was.

At around ten years of age he was given a windup record player and a modest supply of steel needles, on which he played his record collection, consisting of two 78s, one featuring Dizzy Gillespie and the other Fats Waller.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links. They are not to be shared or downloaded, and the selections therein are only identified by their numbers from the complete list given below. Chapter I: 0001.

  • Primary Sources: an Examination of Ira Gitler's
    PRIMARY SOURCES: AN EXAMINATION OF IRA GITLER’S SWING TO BOP AND ORAL HISTORY’S ROLE IN THE STORY OF BEBOP By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Master of Arts M.A. Program in Jazz History and Research Written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter And approved by ___________________________ _____________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Primary Sources: An Examination of Ira Gitler’s Swing to Bop and Oral History’s Role in the Story of Bebop By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON Thesis director: Dr. Lewis Porter This study is a close reading of the influential Swing to Bop: An Oral History of the Transition of Jazz in the 1940s by Ira Gitler. The first section addresses the large role oral history plays in the dominant bebop narrative, the reasons the history of bebop has been constructed this way, and the issues that arise from allowing oral history to play such a large role in writing bebop’s history. The following chapters address specific instances from Gitler’s oral history and from the relevant recordings from this transitionary period of jazz, with musical transcription and analysis that elucidate the often vague words of the significant musicians. The aim of this study is to illustratethe smoothness of the transition from swing to bebop and to encourage a sense of skepticism in jazz historians’ consumption of oral history. ii Acknowledgments The biggest thanks go to Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr.

    Volume 36 • Issue 5 May 2008 Journal of the New Jersey Jazz Society Dedicated to the performance, promotion and preservation of jazz. James L.

  • THE MUSIC of SILENCE in MODERN TIMES by Ian Muldoon
    THE MUSIC OF SILENCE IN MODERN TIMES by Ian Muldoon* __________________________________________________________ he recital of Four Thirty Three by John Cage at the University of New England by a student of the music department was received with a degree of self- T consciousness by myself and the audience accompanied by the wish to not breathe loudly or move. This was in 1981, 30 years after its premiere which was given by David Tudor on August 29, 1952, in Maverick Concert Hall, Woodstock, New York, as part of a recital of contemporary piano music. The audience saw him sit at the piano and, to mark the beginning of the piece, close the keyboard lid. Sometime later he opened it briefly, to mark the end of the first movement. This process was repeated for the second and third movements.” (Wikipedia). John Cage: the recital of his “Four Thirty Three” at the University of New England was received with a degree of self-consciousness… However, John Cage said of the original audience: "They missed the point. There's no such thing as silence. What they thought was silence, because they didn't know how to listen, was full of accidental sounds. You could hear the wind stirring outside during the first movement. During the second, raindrops began pattering the roof, and during the third the people themselves made all kinds of interesting sounds as they talked or walked out.” (Wikipedia) _________________________________________________________ *Ian Muldoon has been a jazz enthusiast since, as a child, he heard his aunt play Fats Waller and Duke Ellington on the household piano.

  • Chilowicz Sauter Thesis
    ©2013 Alex Chilowicz ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A Career Retrospective of Eddie Sauter, Jazz’s Overlooked Composer and Innovator By Alex Chilowicz A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and approved by ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2013 ABSTRACT OF THESIS A Career Retrospective of Eddie Sauter, Jazz’s Overlooked Composer and Innovator By Alex Chilowicz Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter With a career that spanned nearly four decades during the height of jazz’s popularity, Eddie Sauter contributed arrangements and compositions to some of the most significant jazz groups in the music’s history. Through his unique style, his constant desire to expand upon his compositional prowess through studies with various classical composers, and his general willingness to experiment with unusual melodic and harmonic gestures, Sauter produced music vastly different from that of most of his contemporaries. It is for this reason that the pensive composer was deemed “twenty years ahead of his time” by several critics of the day. As the chief architect for much of Red Norvo’s songbook in the 1930s, dozens of arrangements and compositions for Benny Goodman in the early 1940s, creative originals for Ray McKinley in the late 1940s, a unique repertoire with co- conspirator Bill Finegan in their jointly led “expanded” big band of the 1950s, and a handful of gems for Stan Getz with orchestral accompaniment in the 1960s, “prolific” barely begins to describe the output of Eddie Sauter.

  • Stan Getz: Forgotten Bebop Tenor Saxophonist
    STAN GETZ: FORGOTTEN BEBOP TENOR SAXOPHONIST BY MARCUS HARLOWE WOLFE B.M., University of North Texas, 1999 M.M., University of North Texas 2002 DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois © 2009 by Marcus Harlowe Wolfe. All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Within the discussion of bebop being an evolution vs. a revolution, Stan Getz’s contributions as a tenor saxophonist have been underappreciated. In 1951, Getz demonstrated an improvisational vocabulary that was a fusion of his swing era style, inspired by the melodic conception of Lester Young, and the harmonic improvisations of Charlie Parker. The objective of this project is to establish Getz as a primary disseminator of the bebop style on the tenor saxophone by documenting his improvisational vocabulary specific to the era, and comparing it to recordings of his contemporaries. A secondary goal will be to support the evolutionary argument by showing that his vocabulary was itself a product of the evolutionary process. The solos, selected from recordings made in 1950 and 1951, are evaluated concerning harmony, melody, rhythm, and macro-level solo construction. With two exceptions, the transcriptions selected for this project were from the Storyville Sessions recorded October 28, 1951 in Boston. They include “Mosquito Knees”, “Move”, “Parker 51”, “Pennies from Heaven”, “Signal”, and “Wildwood”. “Split Kick” was recorded December 10, 1950 and “Yvette” was recorded August 15, 1951 in New York. All are available on the boxed set Stan Getz: the Complete Roost Recordings.
