132 New on Maybe Monday New on www.intaktrec.ch INTAKT RECORDS Broken Shadows vereint mit Tim Berne, Chris Speed, Reid Ander- son und Dave King vier Koryphäen der amerikanischen Jazz-Szene. Broken Shadows haben sehr starke Zweierbeziehungen. Die Saxofo- nisten Tim Berne und Chris Speed arbeiten seit 1992 zusammen; Bassist Reid Anderson und Schlagzeuger Dave King – zwei Drittel der legendären Band The Bad Plus – spielen schon seit über 35 Jah- ren zusammen. Benannt nach einer Ornette Coleman Komposition, ehrt dieses All- Star-Projekt das Erbe der Musik ihrer Idole und Mentoren Ornette Coleman, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden und Julius Hemphill. «Die meisten der Titel haben Melodien; ansteckend und mitsingbar. Songs, die man am liebsten in die Tasche stecken und mit nach Hause nehmen würde. In einer Zeit, in der Songs als Vehikel für Improvisationen behandelt werden, ist bei dieser Band das Vehikel der Song», schreibt Branford Marsalis in den Linernotes und feiert die in «Broken Shadows» innewohnende emotionale Kraft und Wirkung: «Harmonische Werte allein erzeugen keine Emotionen; die Fähigkeit, die Farbe im eigenen Klang zu verändern, schon. Das ist etwas, das Broken Shadows verstehen, sei es explizit oder implizit. Die zwölf Tracks reichen von Wehklagen über unbekümmertes Schwadronie- BROKEN SHADOWS ren bis hin zu purer Freude, und allen Farben dazwischen.» Tim Berne: Alto Saxophone Broken Shadows brings together four luminaries of the Ameri- Chris Speed: Tenor Saxophone can jazz scene: Tim Berne, Chris Speed, Reid Anderson and Reid Anderson: Bass Dave King.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.

Lanier() Barry, grew up on a farm in rural Georgia, working on the farm until college where he attended Georgia Southern College and later Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy. After pharmacy school, Barry farmed for four years before economics forced him to practice pharmacy, which he also loved because of his passion for people. In and out of pharmacy, Barry has been a songwriter, an insurance agent, went back to Georgia Southern entering the MBA program, which he had to dropp out of after opening a retail sporting goods store. The outdoors and sporting and hunting and fishing always a passion. Returning to pharmacy, traveling the state for years, taking a haitus and learning to drive an 18-wheeler, always a goal, he has a CDL license. Currently Barry has earned a Master's degree in Community Counseling from Georgia Southern University and is working as a counselor/therapist. He became interested in writing in high school when his mentor, Jessie Bird, suggested he had an innate creative talent after he wrote 'Moment In The Morn'. Only some 25 years later did he start back writing. Discovering his geneaology and heritage included being a descendant of Sidney Clopton Lanier who wrote 'Marshes of Glynn', and of Thomas Lanier (Tennessee Williams) who was originally a failed poet, Barry was motivated to begin his journey of writing. Many of his poems have been published nationally and internationally and he has been honored for a decade by the International House of Poetry for many awards.

  • Intentionality and Image Schema in the Reception of Early Works by Ornette Coleman
    Far Out: Intentionality and Image Schema in the Reception of Early Works by Ornette Coleman By Janna K. Saslaw In this essay I would like to examine two factors contributing to the categorization of music-authorial intentions and image schemas-and their perceptual consequences, in light of recent developments in cogni­ tive science. Psychologist Raymond Gibbs (1999) has argued that many aspects of our understanding of language and artworks rest on a funda­ mental, often unconscious, tendency to seek the identity and communica­ tive purpose of the creator. The writings of George Lakoff, MarkJohnson, and others! have suggested that human understanding works in a funda­ mentally metaphorical manner,2 applying modes of understanding body movement to more abstract domains of thought. Combining these two approaches, this paper proposes that our understanding of musical cre­ ations as belonging inside or outside of an established cognitive category, in combination with our attribution of the composer's intent, colors our perception of the music to such a great extent that two people listening to the same composition might hear entirely different musical objects. This idea poses a serious challenge to music analysts. We like to think that most musicians will agree on the basic "facts" of a musical work. This belief may seem to be confirmed when we focus principally on the classi­ cal canon, analyzed by a culturally-validated system. But I think this seem­ ing consensus hides differences in perception that emerge more clearly with less mainstream repertories or alternative analytic techniques. For this paper I have chosen a repertoire disseminated primarily in aural form, which makes the issue of what is perceived to be the musical object even more acute: the early free jazz of alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman.
