No doubt many of you are in the same older family members. Maybe time is flying because I just joined the ranks boat, so perhaps you'll relate. of adulthood (on paper, at least). Then I bought some pumps, I got a hair I think it's natural for people to regularly have "On This Day in History" cut and I got a real job. Graduation hasn't sunk in yet though; I'm still trying moments in their lives. I'm no different, and there are a few that stand out to wrap my head around having all this space in my life that homework and every year. On June 29s, I recall launching into a month-long cross-Canada class and public transit occupied. road trip with my mom in 2010, camping our way from Vancouver to the east Interwoven with these date-induced flashbacks is the music that narrated coast On April 16s, I reflect on two years ago when I went to Coachella, peed it.

Founded in 1999 by multimedia artist and arts administrator Hank Bull, Centre A's mandate is to provide a platform for contemporary Asian art in the form of not only exhibitions, but also public forums, artists-in-residence, screenings, publica­ tions and web projects. Since its beginnings it has presented work from over 300 artists from Canada and beyond, produced over 80 original projects i and continues to thrive. With Bull having stepped down as Executive Director lastyear, his succes­ sor Sivanesan said the centre is going through a transitional period, but that it is an exciting one of growth and new opportunities.

She and the other staff, including curator Makiko Hara, intend to do this through the traditional means of showing new and engaging exhibitions and by utilizing the rapidly changing way that artists communicate and exchange ideas via the Internet.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN 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 Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.

  • The Holmes Brothers Deliver Magnificent Old Time, Gospel-Style R&B, and Raw Electric Blues with Unparalleled Artistry and Au
    Glorious, rootsy R&B, gospel, blues and country. Full of soul and surprises. --USA TODAY The Holmes Brothers deliver magnificent old time, gospel-style R&B, and raw electric blues with unparalleled artistry and authenticity. Sherman’s bottomless baritone, Wendell’s classic soul singer’s wail and Popsy’s otherworldly falsetto do more than complement one another; on stage or in the recording studio, the three become like a mystical fourth entity, inexplicable yet sublime, a gift to the world of music. -Chicago Tribune A breathtaking and heartfelt journey through gospel-drenched soul, blues, funk and country. -Chicago Sun-Times Timeless, deeply soulful and uplifting gospel-drenched blues, street corner doo-wop, ballads, R&B, country and funk. -NY Times Over the course of their 30-plus year career, The Holmes Brothers (bassist/vocalist Sherman Holmes, guitarist/pianist/vocalist Wendell Holmes, drummer/vocalist and brother-in-spirit Popsy Dixon) have been feeding the souls of their devoted and ever-growing fanbase with a joyous and moving blend of blues, gospel, soul, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll and country. Their amazing three-part harmony singing, mixing Wendell’s gruff and gravelly vocals with Popsy’s soaring falsetto and Sherman’s rich baritone brings the soul and spirit of gospel music into everything they perform. Equally gripping is the rhythmic foundation laid down by Sherman’s bass playing and Popsy’s drumming, perfectly complimenting Wendell’s blues-soaked guitar solos and church-inspired piano playing. The band easily blends Saturday night’s roadhouse rock with the gospel fervor and harmonies of Sunday morning’s church service.
