    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail

    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the ​ band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke ​ Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in ​ jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & ​ ​ Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more ​ grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

    A Cooperative Model for Preserving Historical Television News Content by Morgan Gieringer

    A Cooperative Model for Preserving Historical Television News Content By Morgan Gieringer ABSTRACT: The University of North Texas (UNT) and the Dallas-Fort Worth (Tex- as) affiliate station of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC 5/KXAS-TV) have partnered to preserve the archival programming content of the oldest television news station in Texas. This article addresses the partnership of the archives and the news sta- tion to create a fully digitally accessible archive, as well as the challenges of large-scale preservation and digitization of audiovisual materials. Using a custodial partnership model, the archives and the news station have leveraged their own unique talents and abilities to make significant progress toward the goal of digitizing this historic collec- tion. This article highlights the progress made over the first five years of the partner- ship and the aspects of the partnership that have made the project successful. Introduction The archival profession must begin to confront the many challenges inherent in the large-scale preservation of twentieth-century audiovisual resources. A significant portion of our shared cultural heritage, including historical television news recordings, is at risk due to complicated copyright issues, degradation of the original media, the cost involved in digitizing audiovisual resources, and the difficulty of preserving high- resolution digital video files. The NBC 5/KXAS-TV project highlights the extreme difficulties inherent in preserving twentieth-century television news content, but also demonstrates the cultural significance and importance of preserving this content for future generations. Unfortunately, a large amount of twentieth-century broadcast news content has already been lost, as television news reporters and production staff focus on the here and now, and yesterday’s news was only intended to be recorded and preserved for a short period of time.

It is not often that one is afforded the chance to read a book about a sitting Chief Justice of the United States written by a convicted felon.1 I initially had high expectations of this text, as its author, John W. Dean III, was a central player in President Richard Nixon’s White House. At first glance, the book appears to be well researched, as Dean relied heavily on 420 hours of President Nixon’s White House Tapes, which were released on October 16, 2000.2 The text, however, does little more than dredge up old charges leveled against Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

    University of Florida Law Review VOLUME XXVIII WINTER 1976 NUMBER 2 LAW, CAPITALISM, AND THE FUTURE A. DEFINING THE ENTREPRENEUR: WEBER'S PROTESTANT ETIDC REFINED EDITOR'S NOTE: Departing from the usual style of a law review article, the following manuscript not only invites but requires extensive participation by the reader in analyzing the function of the law in relation to capitalism. The author adopts an unorthodox technique and weaves together seemingly un­ related ideas. For example. by interjecting a lengthy quote from a 1964 Supreme Court decision, the author bids the reader to determine whether the law can serve "as a successful control device" in the face of the increasing internationali­ zation of capitalism. Moreover, the web of ideas that the author spins does not suggest facile distinctions or conclusions. From the confusing and complex bombardment of ideas, analogies, and theories, the reader hopefully will dis­ cover perceptions worthy of the challenge. I The Inadequacies of Weber's Ideal Type (i) History is the story of what happened, and the most instructive explana­ tions - those most deserving of the historical title - are the ones that most satisfactorily account for the presence of the phenomenon whose behavior is being described. Historical explanations are therefore judged both in terms of how well they explain given instances of a phenomenon and how many such instances they explain. Why Weber's explanation of entrepreneurship was so satisfactory is a question for the social and intellectual histories of the times during which it has been accepted. This article offers an explanation for the generally accepted proposition that Weber's theory explains remarkably few of the known instances of entrepreneurship.

At its core are openness to all influences, and personal expression through improvisation. Throughout its history, jazz has straddled the worlds of popular music and art music, and it has expanded to a point where its styles are so varied that one may sound completely unrelated to another.

Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

    1 The TENORSAX of FRANK WELLINGTON WESS Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Sept. 9, 2020 2 Born: Kansas City, Missouri, Jan. 4, 1922 Died: Oct. 30, 2013 Introduction: Oslo Jazz Circle always loved the Basie orchestra, no matter what time, and of course we became familiar with Frank Wess’ fine tenorsax playing. My own real ear opener however was the Joe Turner session on Atlantic from 1956. Early history: First instrument altosax which he played in local band in Oklahoma. On tenor in Washington with Bill Baldwin and in the house band at Howard Theatre. On tour with Blanche Calloway and army service 1941-44. After discharge, with Billy Eckstine. Then with Eddie Heywood and Lucky Millinder. One year with Bull Moose Jackson. Back to Washington and studies on flute 1949. From June 1953 to August 1964 he was a member of Count Basie’s orchestra. Message: I have had to simplify the presentation of Count Basie sessions, it seemed to serve no purpose of going through all Chris Sheridan. However this means that many sessions with FW must have been omitted, and it is not unlikely that some of these will or have already appeared on CD. Also,I admit that it is not always easy to hear the difference between Frank Wess and Frank Foster, at least for my modest ears. Thus please report any discrepancies between your and my opinions without delay! 3 FRANK WESS TENORSAX SOLOGRAPHY BILLY ECKSTINE ORCHESTRA NYC.
