    CONTENTS Editorial An internet-related rant and a summary of the delights to follow in the rest of the current issue. By David Grundy. [pp.3-4] Listening to Sachiko M 12,000 words (count' em) – a lengthy, and no-doubt futile attempt to get to grips with some of the recordings of empty-sampler player (or, in her own words, 'non-musician'), Sachiko M, including interminable ramblings on such albums as 'Bar Sachiko,' 'Filament 1', and 'Tears'. By David Grundy. [pp.5-26] The Drop at the Foot of the Ladder: Musical Ends and Meanings of Performances I Haven't Been To, Fluxus and Today 11,000 words (count 'em), covering the delicate and indelicate negotiations between music and performance, audience and performer, art and non-art, that take place in the 1960s works of Fluxus and their distant inheritors, Mattin and Taku Unami. By Lutz Eitel. [pp.27-52] Feature: Live in Seattle Two solo takes and a duo relating to Coltrane's 1965 recording, made at the breaking point of his 'Classic Quartet', poised between old and new, music that pushes at the limits and drops back only to push again with furious persistence. By David Grundy and Sean Bonney. [pp.53-74] Interview: The Rent To call The Rent a Steve Lacy 'tribute band' would be to do them an immense disservice, though their repertoire consists mainly of Lacy compositions. Their conversation with Ted Harms covers such topics as inter-disciplinarity, the Lacy legacy, and the notion of jazz repertoire.

    STEP I STEP STEP I STEP INTO STEP INTO STEP INTO JA STEP INTO JAZZ STEP INTO JAZZ M STEP INTO JAZZ MU STEP INTO JAZZ MU STEP INTO JAZZ MU North Carolina Central University Jazz Studies step into the world of jazz music azz is a music genre that originated at the beginning of the 20th Century, arguably earlier, within the African-American communities of the Southern United States. Its roots lie in the combining by African- Americans of certain European harmony and form elements, with their existing African-based music. Its African musical basis is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note.[1] From its early development until the present day, jazz has also incorporated elements from popular music especially, in its early days, from American popular music. As the music has developed and spread around the world it has, since its early American beginnings, drawn on many different national, regional and local musical cultures, giving rise to many distinctive styles: New Orleans jazz dating from the early 1910s, big band swing, Kansas City jazz and Gypsy jazz from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid- 2 CCU offers study leading to the bachelor of music and master of music in Jazz Studies. Our stellar faculty includes Dr. Ira Wiggins (Director, saxophone), Branford Marsalis (Artist-in-Residence, saxophone), Joey NCalderazzo (Artist-in-Residence, piano), Brian Horton (saxophone), Arnold George (saxophone/vocal), Lenora Helm (vocal), Albert Strong (trumpet), Robert Trowers (trombone), Ed Paolantonio (piano), Baron Tymas (guitar), Damon Brown (bass) and Thomas Taylor (percussion).

  • Beyond Modern Jazz
    BEYOND MODERN JAZZ THE EVOLUTION OF POSTMODERN JAZZ PERFORMANCE AND COMPOSITION FROM 1969 TO THE PRESENT DAVID OWEN RESTIVO A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO OCTOBER, 2017 © David Owen Restivo, 2017 ABSTRACT In the following paper, I will address what I perceive to be a gap in scholarship regarding the evolution of African-American classical music (popularly referred to as ‘jazz’) following the end of its primary phase of development, which I would refer to as the pre- modern and modern periods, and which I define as stretching roughly from the turn of the last century until the end of the 1960s. To this end, I will borrow from concepts of postmodernism as expressed by Jean-François Lyotard, James Morley, and Kenneth Gloag, in order to attempt to define what I feel it means within the context of the jazz lineage. In the process of examining this ‘post-history’, I will bring particular focus to the contributions of two key figures, Keith Jarrett and Wynton Marsalis. I will also look at a series of my own compositions and consider where they fit into the ‘postmodern’ paradigm. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many thanks to the following people, without whom this project would not have been possible: Dr. Sundar Viswanathan; Prof. Barry Elmes; Prof. Michael Coghlan; Prof. Ron Westray; Prof. David Mott; Prof. Paul Sych; Tere Tilban-Ross; Peggy Jane Hope; Mary Margaret Hope-Restivo; Dr. Valerie Alia; Dr. Sal Restivo; Dan Restivo; Alan Henderson; Terry Promane; Fawn Fritzen; Mark Chambers.

  • Champian Fulton Live from Her Living Room
    July / August 2020 Volume 48 Issue 4 www.njjs.org Magazine of the New Jersey Jazz Society Champian Fulton Live From Her Living Room Dedicated to the performance, promotion and preservation of jazz. ALL THAT’S JAZZ! By Cydney Halpin President, NJJS The past several months have been a real test of our collective strength and resilience, physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially. As I’ve searched for the words to address the impact and the horrors of the deeply disturbing violence in America - both as an individual and as the president of this organization, I find myself drawing from messages and input I’ve received from the Louis Armstrong House Museum, friends and colleagues Stephen Fuller and Don Braden, and pianist Emmet Cohen. With their permission, I’m sharing the following collective message with you: Racism, bigotry, and discrimination have sadly plagued our country for centuries. As an organization dedicated to the performance, promotion and preservation of jazz – the American art form created and molded in Black communities, the New Jersey Jazz Society must stand in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters and peacefully, yet firmly, protest the violence that has unjustly taken so many. We mourn the tragic and senseless deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and too many others. We empathize deeply with the families and friends of all those who are suffering not only the loss of a loved one, but also of a member of their communities. A more equitable world may not be built without a struggle, but our actions as empathetic human beings will ensure that we get closer every day and that each person in our country, regardless of race and national origin, are able to live happy, healthy, and prosperous lives, and that such lives are enjoyed without fear.
