119038-Memory-Folder.Pdf All who knew Timothy R. Bell would agree that he was the heartbeat of wherever he went. He was vibrant with a contagious zest for life and a smile ready for anyone who was near. Although Tim accomplished so much of which to be proud, he was a humble man who used his gifts and talents to bless those around him. He had a huge heart full of love for family, his students, and fellow musicians. How can you express the love of a parent for his children? Steph and Steve came with Tim to Parkside and Steph says they hid in the instrument cabinets and threw spitballs at the band while they rehearsed. Tim spent many Packers games with Steph, eating popcorn and pretzels and rooting for Texas when the Packers played the Cowboys. Tim was thrilled when grandsons Michael and Teddy were born and both boys loved “Uncle Tim” deeply. Tim and his son Steve worked together helping, understanding, and supporting each other. Tim was born on January 8, 1942 to Josephine (Greskiewicz) and Timothy Ralph Bell in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He has three siblings, Richard, Patsy, and Joe. Tim proudly stated “My father was a coal miner.” Dad was also an extraordinary musician, proficient on the accordion, and also playing the saxophone, clarinet, violin and piano. The kids played their instruments together at home in the living room. Tim got his first clarinet at age 8 for Christmas. His mother raised the family and did piece work as a seamstress. While he was still in grade school, Tim played in the Wyoming High School Band and graduated in 1959. When he was a kid he went on jobs with his dad and on Halloween while his siblings would collect nickels and pennies Tim played his saxophone at the local taverns and brought home a wad of bills. While in high school, Tim worked as a gas station attendant and contributed the money to the family household. Tim joined the U.S. Navy at 17 and served from 1960 to 1963, as a member of the Navy Band. After the Navy, Tim enrolled at the University of North Texas. He played clarinet in the band and orchestra, and became the first freshman to win a chair in Leon Breedon’s renowned One O’clock Lab Band. As lead alto saxophonist in the band, he performed on three occasions for President Lyndon Johnson at the White House with Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton. Tim also spent a month performing in Mexico on a tour that was sponsored by the United States State Department. His peers at North Texas included Billy Harper, Marvin Stamm, Ed Soph, Louis Marini, and Lyle Mays. Tim began his teaching career at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. From 1975 through 2010 Tim was a music professor at U.W. Parkside. He taught applied clarinet, applied saxophone, conducted the jazz ensembles and jazz combo, and also taught courses in music education, improvisation, and jazz appreciation. He was the founder of the Jazz Studies Music degree option, and he received the 1979 UW-Parkside Stella Gray Teaching Award and a University of Wisconsin Regents Award for teaching excellence in 1993. Under Tim’s direction, his bands earned several awards at the Elmhurst College Jazz Festivals and were featured at the Wisconsin Music Educators Association Conference in Madison. Tim was highly regarded as a soloist, clinician, and adjudicator at the state and national level. He brought renowned artists and educators Leon Breeden, Jamey Aebersold, Maynard Ferguson, Frank Mantooth, Steve Houghton, Fred Sturm, Alan Vizutti, Ed Shaughnessy, Lou Fischer, Ed Soph, Neil Slater and the University of North Texas One O’Clock Lab Band to UW-Parkside. In addition to his teaching, Tim played throughout the Milwaukee and Chicago areas. Tim was a frequent performer with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Skylight Opera Theater, the Fireside Theater, touring Broadway shows at the Marcus Center in Milwaukee and with entertainment headliners including Burt Bacharach, Henry Mancini, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Stan Kenton, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Rita Moreno, Tom Jones, Jerry Lewis, Tom Bosley, Toni Tennille, Sonny and Cher…. Since 2009, Tim could be heard on Saturday nights on the local radio hosting his own jazz show “Big Bands and Beyond.” Tim truly loved to play. His last night was also his last concert, as he played Principal Clarinet with the Racine Concert Band. After retiring, Tim continued to play with the Kenosha City Band, Racine Concert Band, Parkside Reunion Band and the Milwaukee Super Band. Described as an absolute gem of a person, Timothy R. Bell was a blessing to everyone he met. He was known for his sense of humor and his many pranks in addition with his kind and gentle demeanor. Tim was well respected in many different facets of the music world both at home and within other areas of the country. His legacy is “Excellence not Dominance”, “Intensity”, “Perfection in Performance”, “Extreme Joy and Appreciation of Loved Ones” … Tim lived from January 8, 1942 to October 18, 2017. His spirit will always live. Tim’s family includes his wife, Gerry; his children; Stephanie “Stacee” (Joe) Busateri, Steve T. Bell; grandchildren; Michael and Teddy Busateri; stepsons, Jack (Kymarie) Kosmoski, Ben Kosmoski; step grandson, Oliver; siblings, Richard (Elaine) Bell, Patricia Walters, Joseph Bell; in-laws, Marty Slavek, Chaz (Mary) Slavek, George Slavek; nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives,many dear friends, and his dogs especially Miles. “Good Job Chief!”.

    Copyright by Colin M. Mason 2005 The Dissertation Committee for Colin Michael Mason Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: A Comparative and Historical Survey of Four Seminal Figures in the History of Jazz Education Committee: Jeff Hellmer, Co-Supervisor Hunter C. March, Co-Supervisor John Mills David Neumeyer Lowell J. Bethel A Comparative and Historical Survey of Four Seminal Figures in the History of Jazz Education by Colin Michael Mason, M.M., B.M. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2005 Dedication This project is dedicated to my wife, Anna Carney, who has stood by my side and supported me most when I needed it through this entire journey; my parents, Jack and Sarah Mason, who provided me with all of the initial resources to begin this journey; and finally, my son, James Carney Mason, who, while he won’t remember much about this moment, has had a profound impact on my completing this journey, and gets to be here at the end. Acknowledgements There are a number of people who need to be recognized for their influential part in this document. First and foremost are the four principal figures themselves: Leon Breeden, Clem DeRosa, Fr. George Wiskirchen, and Dr. Bill Lee. Their everlasting influence on jazz education is impossible to completely convey, and their impact on me is equally difficult to articulate. All of them welcomed me into their house or office, were wonderfully gracious of their time and hospitality, and taught me so much about the little things in life.

  • Willis Conover, the Voice of America, and the International Reception of Avant-Garde Jazz in the 1960S
    “SOUNDS FOR ADVENTUROUS LISTENERS”: WILLIS CONOVER, THE VOICE OF AMERICA, AND THE INTERNATIONAL RECEPTION OF AVANT-GARDE JAZZ IN THE 1960S Mark A. Breckenridge, B.M., M.M., M.M.E. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2012 APPROVED: John P. Murphy, Major Professor and Interim Director of Graduate Studies in Music Eileen M. Hayes, Minor Professor and Chair of the Division of Music History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology Mark McKnight, Committee Member Ana Alonso-Minutti, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Breckenridge, Mark A., “Sounds for Adventurous Listeners”: Willis Conover, the Voice of America, and the International Reception of Avant-garde Jazz in the 1960s. Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), August 2012, 315 pp., 27 figures, bibliography, 189 titles. In “Sounds for Adventurous Listeners,” I argue that Conover’s role in the dissemination of jazz through the Music USA Jazz Hour was more influential on an educational level than what literature on Conover currently provides. Chapter 2 begins with an examination of current studies regarding the role of jazz in Cold War diplomacy, the sociopolitical implications of avant-garde jazz and race, the convergence of fandom and propaganda, the promoter as facilitator of musical trends, and the influence of international radio during the Cold War. In chapter 3 I introduce the Friends of Music USA Newsletter and explain its function as a record of overseas jazz reception and a document that cohered a global network of fans. I then focus on avant-garde debates of the 1960s and discuss Conover’s role overseas and in the United States.
