  • Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67
    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

  • Sammy Figueroa Full
    Sammy Figueroa has long been regarded as one of the world’s great musicians. As a much-admired percussionist he provided the rhythmical framework for hundreds of hits and countless recordings. Well-known for his versatility and professionalism, he is equally comfortable in a multitude of styles, from R & B to rock to pop to electronic to bebop to Latin to Brazilian to New Age. But Sammy is much more than a mere accompanist: when Sammy plays percussion he tells a story, taking the listener on a journey, and amazing audiences with both his flamboyant technique and his subtle nuance and phrasing. Sammy Figueroa is now considered to be the most likely candidate to inherit the mantles of Mongo Santamaria and Ray Barretto as one of the world’s great congueros. Sammy Figueroa was born in the Bronx, New York, the son of the well-known romantic singer Charlie Figueroa. His first professional experience came at the age of 18, while attending the University of Puerto Rico, with the band of bassist Bobby Valentin. During this time he co-founded the innovative Brazilian/Latin group Raices, which broke ground for many of today’s fusion bands. Raices was signed to a contract with Atlantic Records and Sammy returned to New York, where he was discovered by the great flautist Herbie Mann. Sammy immediately became one of the music world’s hottest players and within a year he had appeared with John McLaughlin, the Brecker Brothers and many of the world’s most famous pop artists. Since then, in a career spanning over thirty years, Sammy has played with a

In 2017, Cowherd released Gateway, a new recording on the exclusive, vinyl only, Newvelle record label. He has played and recorded with Joni Mitchell as part of a collaboration with Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band. Christopher Thomas: GRAMMY-nominated Christopher Thomas was born in 1970 in St. Louis, Missouri. Although he’s the only musician in his family, Thomas took to music as if he were a born legacy.

    February 23-25, 2017 Grounded in Tradition. Breaking New Ground. www.uidaho.edu/jazzfest hampjazz ii University of Idaho GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL Welcome TO THE FESTIVAL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO! elcome to 50 years of Vandal tradition – a half century of excellence at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. This signature Vandal event is where key aspects of our mission – teaching, learning and exploration, and community engagement – truly take Wcenter stage. As we gather for a celebration of our festival’s history and its bright future, effectively captured in the “Grounded in Tradition. Breaking New Ground.” theme, we celebrate our students, our teachers both from UI and visiting, and our performers. Our 50th anniversary sees the festival with some changes, intended to refocus and reenergize this great event. For 2017 the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival returned to our Lionel Hampton School of Music within the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences. I thank our School of Music for the way they’ve seamlessly handled this transition intended to improve the overall event experience for students, faculty and attendees. Their behind-the-scenes management is something many attendees may not notice, but will benefit from through a memorable experience. This year we have three days and nights of exciting music education and concerts, with all of it taking place right on campus. Another noticeable change is a shift in the student experience: The festival now offers a competitive track option for student performers. Adjudicators will hand-select soloists and combos from our K-12 participant ranks to perform on the main stage at each evening’s concert, as they did when Lionel performed here.
