  • THE SHARED INFLUENCES and CHARACTERISTICS of JAZZ FUSION and PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014
    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

When I worked on trucks, I would write everything on receipts. Of all the great British bands to emerge from the s, none had a stronger sense of place than the Kinks. Next came an addiction to singing at home, a can of Impulse body spray now standing in for a microphone. We're excited! Recommended for fans seeking education along with immersion into this band's melody and wit, Doyle conveys the Kinks' vision of a familiar, if elusive, bit of English decency.

  • Rock Music Lyrics As Postmodern Poetry: Gentle Giant 'Realization'
    Martin Neef (Braunschweig, Germany) Rock music lyrics as postmodern poetry: Gentle Giant 'Realization' 1. Introduction: Rock music and rock music poetry In this paper, I talk about the text Realization of the British rock band Gentle Giant, which has released records in the period from 1970 to 1980. First, I will trace the story of Gentle Giant. Then I will turn to a particular text of this band, Realization. In doing so, I will first try to prove the existence of this text and determine its limits. Then I will go into the basic structure of this text and discuss some of the thematic focuses that I will address in the chapters In a glass house, The game, und Goodbye. In effect, my aim is to argue that Derek Shulman, a member of Gentle Giant, is among the most important postmodern lyricists of the 20th century. Lyrics of rock music are not at the centre of the scientific preoccupation with literary texts. Seriously taken poetry is first and foremost written poetry. This applies at least to contemporary poetry, less to old forms of poetry. I would like to plead for rock music in general and rock music lyrics in particular to be regarded as an art form to be taken seriously in cultural studies. If postmodernism is first and foremost a historical epoch, it can undoubtedly be said that rock music is one of the genres that has experienced the greatest boom in this epoch. If the term postmodernism is to be defined more in content than in history, one should at least be prepared to concede the grade postmodern to some works of rock music.

  • Stacy Dee Blair
    STACY DEE BLAIR Man of Faith, Loyal Friend, & Trumpet Virtuoso (1954 - 2010) We were in the midst of a gentle giant… "There is nothing as strong as gentleness, and nothing as gentle as true strength." ~ St. Francis de Sales (By D Chris Payne, formerly Diana C Keyes) Blind from birth, Stacy’s lifetime accomplishments were legendary and would take pages to discuss. They included winning the Maurice Andre International Trumpet Solo Competition in Paris in 1979, being inducted into the International Hall of Fame for Persons with Disabilities in 1998, and countless others. Stacy often stated that his most meaningful achievement was becoming an Eagle Scout in 1971. However, the true measure of the man was not found in his resume, but in his heart. This tribute is meant to shine the light of day upon the man behind the resume. Back in college, when I first met Stacy, I recall noticing that he was kind, gentle, humble, caring, and funny. My deepest understanding today, 37 years later, is that he was kind, gentle, humble, caring, and funny. Stacy never allowed fear to diminish his life. He traveled the world alone for years, conducting and playing with the world’s finest orchestras. When he finally acquired a guide dog, it changed his life forever. From that day forward, he went to organizations and schools to teach others about service dogs. He was consistently one of the top donors for the Guiding Eyes for the Blind organization. Stacy wanted others to experience the same joy and independence that he found with his precious dogs, Guthrie and Kellogg.

  • The Gentle Giant: Leading Humbly the Eighth in a Series of Nine Leadership Devotionals Based on the Fruit of the Spirit Susan Gibbons
    The Gentle Giant: Leading Humbly The eighth in a series of nine leadership devotionals based on the fruit of the Spirit Susan Gibbons Scripture Passages ““He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.” (Psalm 25:9) “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your weary souls.” (Matthew 11:29) Theme: The Gentle Giant: Leading Humbly The other day a good friend of my husband‟s told him about a woman he knows who wanted to obtain John Wooden‟s signature on two pieces of memorabilia as a gift for her son. Having heard that Coach Wooden is accessible and generous with his time, she decided to send the items to him with her request. Within a week, she received a phone call from Coach Wooden, explaining that the return envelope she had included was not large enough to hold the items. Wooden asked her if it would be alright if he got a larger envelope in which to return the signed items. The woman replied that she didn‟t want to bother him, that his signature was already enough to ask. She would be in his area in the next couple of days so could he leave the items for her and she would stop by and pick them up. The coach gave her his home address and told her what time he would be there and invited her to come by – he‟d be happy to meet her! When she arrived, John opened the door and warmly invited her in.

  • Dissertation on the Music of Gentle Giant
    I Gentle Giant The Missing Piece in Rock’s Academia Dominic Stone MUSS3140 200781299 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA Music School of Music, University of Leeds, March 2016. I Abstract Gentle Giant developed alongside bands such as Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Jethro Tull and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, but never achieved the same level of commercial success. This is reflected in a lack of academic attention paid to them, despite being recognised as surpassing these other bands in musical complexity. The reasons for their lack of success are the both the challenging nature of their music, namely the abundance of eclecticism, virtuosity and complexity, and the poor management decisions and bad luck which plagued their career. This included tour cancellations, inadequate promotion and support, concert mismatches and their fifth album being withheld from release in America. They never cultivated a decent following in England, as the initial bad reaction from those who remembered them as the pop group Simon Dupree and the Big Sound resulted in the bands management prioritising European and American audiences. Two areas of the music are analysed – the first including concepts, themes, lyrics and imagery and the second being their eclecticism. The themes of social critique and literature are explored, as well as the concept album Three Friends, revealing a sophisticated interaction between music and lyrics to forward the concept. The study of their eclecticism reveals what may be considered a medieval style to instead be a fascination with general early music, which is mixed with classical, folk, jazz and blues and rock music.

  • Gentle Giant of the Guitar
    THE AUSTRALIAN __________________________________________________________________________________ Gentle giant of the guitar Bill Frisell presents in the film as that nice, slightly kooky neighbour who you later discover happens to be famous…PHOTO COURTESY THE AUSTRALIAN A new film goes beyond jazz guru Bill Frisell’s extraordinary career to reveal his personality Published in The Australian, June 2, 2017 ________________________________________________________________ ERIC MYERS Australian jazz singer Emma Franz, also a filmmaker, knows something about improvisation. It was a chance event in 2009 that began an eight-year odyssey, resulting in her current hit film Bill Frisell, A Portrait. In that year her first film, Intangible Asset Number 82, a music feature, was being shown at the South by South West (SXSW) Film Festival in Austin, Texas. By the way, it won an AFI Award for Best Sound in Documentary in 2009, and Best Foreign Documentary at the Durban International Film Festival in 2010. 1 In 2009 Emma was at SXSW with her brother Ben, and found the festival so crowded they couldn’t get in to many of the events. Luckily Ben noticed in an off-program gig listing that the eminent guitarist Bill Frisell was performing at the Continental Club, so they went down the road to hear him play. Emma Franz had long been an admirer of Frisell’s music, but this was a transformative experience. “It just hit me like the proverbial bolt of lightning that I should try and explore what it is about his music that resonates with me.” It’s been a long haul, but Franz has now released Bill Frisell, A Portrait.
