All of this material plus previously unreleased tracks are on these two double-CDs, handsomely packaged with liner notes by co-leader Phillip Johnston, now-and-then photos of the band and cover art by Art Spiegelman. The Septet…was a laboratory for experimentation for composers Johnston…and pianist Joel Forrester. Mixing the influences of the great early big band arrangers like Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington with the zaniness of Raymond Scott and Captain Beefheart, the edginess of Thelonius Monk and Charles Mingus with the theatrics and exploration of Sun Ra and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and with references from “Hey Jude” to “Harlem Nocturne,” the Micros were dedicated to jazz that swung and was endlessly fun and inventive. Volume One is superior because of the youthful up-all-night sense of discovery and sheer joy found on both their first studio album and only live recording.

  • Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism
    FIRING THE CANON: MULTIPLE INSULARITIES IN JAZZ CRITICISM By © 2014 Christopher Robinson Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker ________________________________ Randal Jelks ________________________________ Tony Bolden ________________________________ John Gennari ________________________________ William J Harris Date Defended: April 7, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Christopher Robinson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker Date approved: April 7, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Whereas many jazz scholars focus on jazz criticism's construction and implications of a single, or insular, jazz canon, this dissertation argues that what many jazz critics do is precisely the opposite. These critics disrupt the sense of a singular and insular jazz canon by challenging it through the creation of what I call an insularity, which is a bounded collection of artists and music with a definable tradition, values and established criteria which regulates what is suitable for inclusion. This dissertation argues that jazz does not consist of a single canon and music that exists beyond the canon's boundaries; rather, jazz contains multiple insularities that challenge the canon and vie for the opportunity to overthrow the canon in order to reach canonical status. This dissertation conceptualizes jazz critics as cultural authorities who create or deconstruct insularities through a variety of race, gender and nation projects. It examines the criticism of Leonard Feather, Val Wilmer and Nathaniel Mackey to highlight the numerous ways in which critics engage with multiple insularities.
