Page 79 ANAN EDITOR’S EDITOR’S OVERVIEW OVERVIEW Founder Finding a Balance Ronald Spagnardi 1943–2003 Publisher/CEO Isabel Spagnardi rummers often grapple with certain Senior Vice President Lori Spagnardi Dquestions or problems that could be answered by simply fi nding the right balance Vice President Kevin W. Kearns between two choices. For example, a popular Associate Publisher Tracy A. Kearns debate among drummers is the choice Advertising Director Bob Berenson between using traditional or matched grip. Or some players might argue the merits Advertising Assistant LaShanda Gibson of learning to read versus learning by ear, Senior Art Director Scott G. Bienstock or whether they should teach themselves Dave Hill Contributing Designer Richard Leeds independently or take lessons. In each case, it might be advantageous to pursue a balance of both options, rather Editorial Director Adam J. Budofsky than feeling a need to choose one. Managing Editor Michael Dawson In this month’s Concepts column, the renowned session drummer Associate Editor Willie Rose and educator Russ Miller examines one of the questions that students have repeatedly asked him over the years: Should I read music? Beyond Editor at Large Billy Amendola Miller’s article, a brief online search will reveal plenty of recent forum Business and Content Development Miguel Monroy posts and educational videos on the subject, illustrating that it remains a popular question among the drumming community. The MD Pro Panel: Chris Adler, Gregg Bissonette, Jason Bittner, Will Calhoun, I’m a proponent of learning to read music in general, and I’ve Terri Lyne Carrington, Matt Chamberlain, Jeff Davis, Peter Erskine, Bob Gatzen, Daniel Glass, Benny Greb, Matt Halpern, Horacio Hernandez, Gerald Heyward, certainly incorporated books in lessons with new students. I think this Taku Hirano, Susie Ibarra, Jim Keltner, Pat Mastelotto, Allison Miller, Rod Morgenstein, helps build drummers’ fl exibility, enhances their ability to learn, and Chris Pennie, Stephen Perkins, Dafnis Prieto, Rich Redmond, Brian Reitzell, Jim Riley, could open doors to future opportunities.

    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

  • Sascha G. Interviewt Sascha G
    Helloween – Sascha G. interviewt Sascha G. Martin Häusler Viele Fans „anspruchsvoller“ Musik, die Mitte der 1970er geboren sind, dürften in ihrer Jugend ihre ersten Erfahrungen mit Dreizehn-Minuten-Songs, virtuosen Performances und episch aufgebauten Kompositionen voller thematischer Wechsel und Entwicklungen mit den beiden „Keeper Of The Seven Keys“-Alben von Helloween gemacht haben. Metal-Alben, die weit mehr boten, als der Metal der späten Achtziger für gewöhnlich zu bieten hatte und konsequenterweise auch außerhalb des Spartenpublikums viele Fans gewannen – ähnlich wie fast zeitgleich Die Toten Hosen im Punkrock. Wo „die Hosen“ allerdings zum Unmut der Altfans beständig diesen Anspruch weiterverfolgten, verloren Helloween das Mainstream-Publikum bei Line-up-Wechseln und nach dem experimentellen (aber großartigen!) „Chameleon“-Album. Die folgende Rückkehr ins Metal-Genre hielt die Band am Leben, aber eine ganze Reihe Nachwuchsmetaller, die ihrerseits hörbar von Helloween beeinflusst waren, zog langsam an den Innovatoren vorbei. Doch Helloween haben sich in ihrer seit 2005 beständigen Besetzung mit großartigen Alben stetig ihren Platz zurückerkämpft, und als 2016 mit Kai Hansen und Michael Kiske die beiden Ex-Sänger der Band wieder zum festen Line-up stießen, fanden sich Helloween plötzlich genau da, wo sie 1989 gewesen waren: auf der Höhe einer Erfolgswelle. Nun erscheint das erste gemeinsame Album der siebenköpfigen Schlüsselmeister-Truppe – und Gitarrist Sascha Gerstner hat sich die Zeit genommen, Prog-Betreuer Sascha G. (nicht verwandt oder gar identisch), alles Wissenswerte zum „Helloween“-Album zu verraten. Die Rezension zum Album (#TotW auf BetreutesProggen.de i.d. KW24) findet Ihr übrigens genau hier! BP: Noch ein paar Tage, und das Album erscheint, ganz einfach „Helloween“ betitelt.

  • Jenna Miller 2/22/12 Megadeth Megadeth Has Been A
    Jenna Miller 2/22/12 Megadeth Megadeth has been a very popular thrash metal band for over 20 years. The bands, like most others, have gone through many conflicts. Unlike other bands though, Megadeth has stayed strong since the 80’s and has impacted the heavy metal culture. Megadeth has successfully released thirteen albums, which attracted both underground and mainstream fans. They also have accompanied what popular trends into their songs, which resulted in keeping the band steady and popular throughout the years. The start of the band was back in the 1980’s, where Dave Mustaine (lead singer and guitarist) joined the band Metallica in 1982. Mustaine had a drug and alcohol addiction which made him difficult to get along with. In March of 1983, his constant disagreements with vocalist, James Hetfield, caused him to get kicked out. In the summer, Mustaine meets bassist David Ellefson, and they form Megadeth with guitarist Greg Handevidt and drummer Dijon Carruthers. Because of the unorganized nature of the band and constant bickering between band members, the lineup has constantly changed throughout the years. Many believe Mustaine’s drug and alcohol addiction is to blame for this because of his constant highs and lows in his mood. The only two members, Dave Mustaine and Dave Ellefson, were in Megadeth when the band first started and are still currently in the 2012 line up. Megadeth's first three gigs where February 15th, 18th, and 19th, of 1984. In May of 1985, Megadeth’s first album, “Killing is My Business…And Business is Good!” was released.

According to Zagorski-Thomas (2014: 66), the »use of the term in music has been to describe the character of a particular individual or group's performance style and output, but can also relate to a record company or a producer.« He gives the example of producer Phil Spector, who worked with the same pool of musicians, and the Motown label with their iconic band the Funk Brothers, who recorded in the Snakepit studio. Other signature sounds from characteristic instruments and effects devices shape popular music genres (Brockhaus 2017). Even countries and cities can have signature sounds (Simmons 2004; Owsinski 2006; Zagorski- Thomas 2012; Massey 2015; Herbst 2019, 2021), e.g. Philly soul. Many ap- proaches for analysing a recording and its meaning have been pursued. Based on auditory analysis, von Appen (2015), Helms (2015), and Zagorski-Thomas (2015) have interpreted potential decisions in the production process con- cerning their creative and commercial reasons. But as Morey's (2008) analysis of the Arctic Monkeys' demos has shown, even highly skilled production ex- perts and musicologists can be wrong in their assumptions and interpreta- tions.
