  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter 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 Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

  • A Journal for Contemporary Music (1971-1988)
    Contact: A Journal for Contemporary Music (1971-1988) http://contactjournal.gold.ac.uk Citation Reynolds, Lyndon. 1975. ‘Miles et Alia’. Contact, 11. pp. 23-26. ISSN 0308-5066. ! [I] LYNDON REYNOLDS Ill Miles et Alia The list of musicians who have played with Miles Davis since 1966 contains a remarkable number of big names, including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, Jack de Johnette, Dave Hol l and, John McLaughlin and Miroslav Vitous. All of these have worked success fully without Miles, and most have made a name for themselves whilst or since working with him. Who can say whether this is due to the limelight given them by playing alongside , Miles, the musical rewards of working with him, or Miles's talent-spotting abili- ties? Presumably the truth is a mixture of all these. What does Miles's music owe to the creative personalities of the musicians working with him? This question is unanswerable in practice, for one cannot quan- tify individual responsibility for a group product - assuming that is what Miles's music is. It is obvious that he has chosen very creative musicians with which to work, and yet there has often been an absence of conspicuous, individual, free solo playing in his music since about 1967. It would appear that Miles can absorb musical influences without losing his balance. What we find then, is a nexus of interacting musicians, centring on Miles; that is, musicians who not only play together in various other combinations, but influence each other as well. Even if the web could be disentangled (I know not how, save with a God's-eye-view), a systematic review of all the music that lies within it would be a task both vast and boring.

  • Harlem Speaks by Andy Vélez a SPECIAL SERIES HONORING HARLEM HEROES Recorded in 1959, Giant Steps Became John Coltrane’S First Genuinely Iconic Album
    visitors center: OPEN M-F 10 AM - 4 PM 104 E. 126th Street, #2C, New York, NY 10035 (Take the 2/3/4/5/6 train) WWW.JMIH.ORG THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM PRESENTS Giant Steps Unison Tommy Flanagan George Mraz/Zoe (Enja) Rahman (Cube-Metier) Harlem Speaks by Andy Vélez A SPECIAL SERIES HONORING HARLEM HEROES Recorded in 1959, Giant Steps became John Coltrane’s first genuinely iconic album. Pianist Tommy Flanagan was among the players on the recording, which was 10/31 David Amram notable stylistically for a movement away from chordal Multi-instrumentalist/ composer/ author jazz. This reissue of Flanagan’s 1982 Giant Steps is an homage to Coltrane, repeating several of the tracks while adding “Central Park West”. During the ‘80s, Photo copyright Richard Conde. THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM 104 EAST 126TH STREET, SUITE 2C DONATION SUGGESTED 6:30 - 8:30PM FOR MORE INFORMATION: 212-348-8300 Flanagan favored trios and frequently played with Czech-born bassist George Mraz. Theirs was a felicitous coming together as evident here and recalled fondly by denizens of Bradley’s, a long-gone-but-not-forgotten Village jazz spot where they appeared frequently. Flanagan is notably more confident with what had been a new idiom the first time around. That sureness of technical facility is evident from the first note to the last and the same is true for Mraz. By this time the latter had become one of the most dependable of October 4: FFEAR rhythm men. Together they are as close as pages in a $18 ADVANCE $20 AT DOOR book on a funky “Cousin Mary”.

  • October 8, 2015 Young Lords Exhibit, Christian Scott at Harlem Stage
    October 8, 2015 Young Lords exhibit, Christian Scott at Harlem Stage By Ron Scott Christian Scott EMILIE PONS PHOTO The 1960s were heavily colored with shaded overtones of rebellious youth implementing revolutionary tactics against an indifferent government that always seemed to have a smirk of supremacy. In an effort to bring civil and human rights to the forefront of this revolution, the Young Lords, with founder Jose Cha Cha Jimenez, reorganized to become the Young Lords Party in the fall of 1960. Their sense of urgency at the time was Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s urban renewal plan, which was displacing Puerto Ricans from prime real estate areas such as Lakeview and Lincoln Park. The Young Lords became a militant social activist organization defining Puerto Rican self- determination in the community. Multiple chapters began forming nationwide in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Los Angeles and Puerto Rico. In July 1969, the national headquarters in Chicago sanctioned New York City, where nearly 80 percent of the U.S. Puerto Rican population lived, as the regional chapter. This chapter was formed by Mickey Melendez with Felipe Luciano, chairman; David Perez, minister of defense; Juan Gonzalez, minister of education; Pablo Guzman, minister of information; Juan Fi Ortiz, minister of finance; and Denise Oliver, minister of economic development. “¡Presente! The Young Lords in New York” is now on exhibit at Loisaida through Oct. 10 at 710 E. Ninth St. and Avenue C, the Bronx Museum of the Arts through Oct. 18 at 1040 Grand Concourse and El Museo del Barrio through Oct. 17 at 1230 Fifth Ave.

  • Ode Info Sheet
    Ode (World Premiere – 2019) Choreography: Jamar Roberts Rehearsal Associate: Marion-Skye Brooke Logan Music: Don Pullen Costume design: Jamar Roberts Lighting design: Brandon Stirling Baker Set design: Libby Stadstad A meditation on the beauty and fragility of life in a time of growing gun violence, Ode is the first in a series of three new dance works that company member Jamar Roberts is creating in his role as Ailey’s first-ever Resident Choreographer. Like his critically-acclaimed Members Don’t Get Weary (2017), this work for six dancers will feature a jazz score – Don Pullen’s “Suite (Sweet) Malcolm (Part 1 Memories and Gunshots)” – and Roberts’ own costume designs. “… a powerful and poetic exploration of the effects of gun violence…” Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in The New York Times Jamar Roberts’ Ode. Photo by Paul Kolnik. “’Ode’ feels like another revelation for Ailey. [Robert] Battle is smart to give Roberts a platform to develop… Works such as “Ode” constitute a powerful new direction for the company.” The Washington Post “It’s delicate, daring, and heartbreaking… says something hopeful about the present and future of this company. It now has a resident choreographer with talent and guts.” The New York Times Jamar Roberts Miami native Jamar Roberts graduated from the New World School of the Arts after beginning his studies at the Dance Empire of Miami, where he continues to teach and mentor students each year. He received a fellowship to The Ailey School before becoming a member of Ailey II, Complexions Contemporary Ballet and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 2002.

  • GIVING a JAZZ RECORD AS a GIFT by Eric Myers National Times, December 7, 1980 ______
    GIVING A JAZZ RECORD AS A GIFT by Eric Myers National Times, December 7, 1980 ______________________________________________________________ The National Times opera critic JOHN CARMODY, Sydney Morning Herald jazz critic ERIC MYERS and rock writer SHANE NICHOLS prepared this guide to records most likely to be gratefully received. They cover a range of tastes and should be available. ______________________________________________________________ f you are buying a jazz record as a gift, you should determine the style preferred. There are so many different, although related, idioms I congregating under the banner of "jazz" that it is rarely possible, these days, to buy a "jazz" album that suits all tastes. Duke Ellington At Fargo 1940 Live (Book Of The Month Records 305622). If the recipient likes big band jazz, you could do no better than the three-record set Duke Ellington At Fargo 1940 Live (Book Of The Month Records 305622). This was a performance at the Crystal Ballroom, Fargo, North Dakota, on 1 November 7, 1940. Many critics believe, with some justice, that this particular line-up of musicians was the greatest that Ellington ever assembled. This was a special performance - the first night Ray Nance played in the trumpet section, having just replaced Cootie Williams, who had left to join Benny Goodman. Rex Stewart is also in the section. The saxophones include Barney Bigard (clarinet), Johnny Hodges (alto) and Ben Webster (tenor) among others; Tricky Sam Nanton and Lawrence Brown are among the trombones; and the great Jimmy Blanton is on bass. It is a distinguished line-up, and the band roars through the Ellington repertoire with all the qualities that made it the greatest big band in jazz.
