  • Res.2020.1.2.163.Pdf by MPS North America LLC, Ucpress Mpslimited on 01 December 2020 a Genius Song Stylist
    JESSICA BOYKIN-SETTLES Two Heads Are Better Than One The Artistry of Shirley Horn ABSTRACT Washington, DC–born vocalist and pianist Shirley Horn was one of the most singular and respected musicians on the jazz scene during a career that spanned more than five decades. Despite minimal accolades, Horn’s contributions to the art form are rarely rivaled. She was a virtuoso pianist and Downloaded from http://online.ucpress.edu/res/article-pdf/1/2/163/407286/res.2020.1.2.163.pdf by MPS North America LLC, ucpress mpslimited on 01 December 2020 a genius song stylist. In a 1992 article in the Washington Post, prolific composer and arranger Johnny Mandel explained that “Horn’s playing wasn’t just self-accompaniment. It was percussive counterpart and harmonic commentary that worked with the singing to create a whole, a work of art that was more than the sum of its parts. ‘It’s almost as if when Shirley plays, she has two brains. I don’t know how she can play what she plays and sing what she sings. ...Playing piano like that is a very complex undertaking, and singing with that amount of sensitivity and concentration—she sounds like Siamese twins.’”1 Through recorded performances that best exhibit vocal phrasing, chord voicings, and comping patterns in the jazz tradition, Horn’s piano and vocal performance will be analyzed in order to demonstrate why her genius should occupy the top echelons of revered American musicians this country has ever produced. Jazz and classical musicians whom Horn cited as her biggest influences will be discussed to demonstrate how she absorbed and expertly integrated chosen elements of those individual styles into her own performance to create a distinctive sound and a unique approach to interpreting standard jazz repertoire.

  • Cbs Collection 072 Ucla
    CBS COLLECTION 072 UCLA by Bill Wrobel [NOTE: I first worked on the CBS Collection 072 (Deed of Gift # 1) when it was officially opened to researchers, perhaps in May 1989. I did not make note of the exact day. On April 18, 1995 I had an unexpected opportunity to look at the Deed of Gifts document information dated July 1, 1991. Here Robert Drasnin, Head of Music CBS/MTM Studios in North Hollywood, stated that the music section will close soon, so he authorized to send the rest of the old CBS materials to UCLA. The 1st Deed of Gift was in late November/early December 1988. This 2nd Deed of Gift is dated November 1991. CBS Studios at that time was purchased by Sony Corporation that was initiating a belt-tightening policy. So manuscript music scores, timing sheets, log books of original recording sessions, business records, correspondence, reels, etc., were donated to UCLA. I believe there were 466 boxes in Deed of Gift # 2. Boxes 1-36 (the numbering is different now) had scores, timing sheets, etc. Boxes 37-300 had CBS records of recording sessions in three-ring binders. Boxes 326-8 are foreign library recordings. Boxes 329-342 had miscellaneous production correspondence & other documents. Boxes 343-347 had misc. scores with production documents. Boxes 348-9 had photocopies of scores in three- ring binders. Boxes 350-353 had mix productions, some scripts. Boxes 354-374 contained music on tapes in 10 inch hubs or 7 inch reels. Boxes 357-389 had production documents. Boxes 390-393 had published popular sheet music.

  • 'After the Dawn': Popular Music in Australia Around 1900
    (This was first published in Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies, vol 27, no 3, 2009, pp. 102-127) Jews Dreaming of Acceptance: From the Brill Building to Suburbia with Love ‘This is the way I always dreamed it would be The way it is When you are holding me.’ ‘I Can Hear Music’ Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, Phil Spector (1966) Ken Emerson reminds us that the ‘Brill Building sound’ actually came not only from the Brill Building at 1619 Broadway but also, and at least as importantly, from 1650 Broadway.1 Indeed, the bulk of the composers I will focus on in this article worked at 1650 Broadway where, from May 1958, Aldon Music was located. This music publishing enterprise was started by twenty-one year old Don Kirshner and forty-two year old Al Nevins who had played with the Three Suns. They immediately signed Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield and, by 1962, employed eighteen composers, all between the ages of nineteen and twenty-six. These included the composing pairs most associated with the ‘Brill Building sound’: Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, in addition to Sedaka and Greenfield. As Mick Brown remarks in his biography of Phil Spector with only slight exaggeration: ‘There wasn’t a writer at Aldon who wasn’t Jewish.’2 In an important article on the legacy of the Brill Building music, Ian Inglis writes that: ‘while it may be difficult to argue that there was a specific Brill Building “sound”, it has been noted that certain themes and components do recur in many of the songs.

  • The Shangri-Las, Girl Rebellion, and the Cold War Emmalouise St
    REBEL REDUX: THE SHANGRI-LAS, GIRL REBELLION, AND THE COLD WAR EMMALOUISE ST. AMAND EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, ROCHESTER, NY In the mid-1960s, a group of teenaged girls released a spate of highly emotional, vividly realized songs that consistently placed high on pop charts both in the United States and the United Kingdom. The group, called the Shangri-Las, was composed of sisters Mary and Betty Weiss and twins Marge and Mary Ann Ganser. The girls began singing together as high school students in Queens, New York, before rocketing to fame upon the 1964 release of their first major single: “Remember (Walking in the Sand).” Their recorded body of work is small, comprised of only around thirty songs, and by 1968 the group had disbanded amid murky circumstances and legal trouble. Today, scholars remember their work as marked by an intense, melodramatic aesthetic and themes of premature death, bad boyfriends, and girl rebellion. Youthful rebellion is a well-documented Cold War cultural trope that appears in many pop culture products of the time, and these transgressive teenagers came to stand for much more than simple adolescent strife. As the work of psychoanalysts Robert Lindner and Erik Erikson gained notoriety, a multiplicity of meanings accrued in the teenage rebel archetype. Still, despite their multivalence as cultural symbols, Cold War rebels looked remarkably homogenous. The best-known rebel figures are young, middle-class, white, and male. In this piece, I suggest that current work on the archetype of the rebel in Cold War popular culture has not adequately addressed girl rebellion.

  • Lainie Cooke Reviews
    Lainie Cooke Reviews The Music is the Magic CADENCE April 2015 Bob Rusch LAINIE COOKE’s [voc], THE MUSIC IS THE MAGIC [Onyx 005] is a full length CD and I’m glad it is. At 73 when she recorded this, she shows little sign of voice deterioration and her choice of material is refreshingly hip. Beside the title track, one of Abbey Lincoln’s finest compositions, there is Ronnell Bright’s “Sweet Pumpkin”, Monk’s “How I wish” [Ask Me Now], Peggy Lee’s “Mañana”, Frishberg’s “Our Love Rolls On” and Kellaway’s “I Have The Feeling I’ve Been Here Before”. These titles are joined by “Lazy Afternoon”, “Loving You”, “When I Look Into Your Eyes”, “Fascinating Rhythm”, “Out Of this World” and “Them Their Eyes”. Besides fine renderings of the program (the aging of this singer is only apparent on ballads like “When I Look Into Your Eyes” but with it comes an emotional punch youth could not bring) add to that fine jazz work from the rest of the group [Tedd Firth-p, Luques Curtis or Tabari Lake-b, Myron Walden-sax, Ralph Peterson-dms/tpt] and you get music well worth listening to. All About Jazz C. Michael Bailey Published: April 4, 2015 Lainie Cooke is a singer not afraid to take chances. Her third recording, The Music is the Magic, she populates her recital with near standards: songs that are familiar but not cliche. Supported by a reeds-led quartet anchored by drummer (and producer on this recording) Ralph Peterson, Lainie displays a command of vocal jazz that is impressive.
