January 1994 Features ADAM NUSSBAUM By deftly balancing adaptability and personality, Adam Nussbaum has landed prime gigs with a host of top jazzers like Gil Evans, John Scofield, Stan Getz, and Michael and Randy Brecker. Adam's recipe for success: putting the music first. William F. Miller 18 JIMMY CHAMBERLIN Smashing Pumpkins are climbing to the top their own way. That unwavering independence is reflected in drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, who insists that his drumming has lots more to do with jazz than grunge. 24 Matt Peiken DRUMMING AND BANDLEADING Worries, worries, and still more worries. So why would Bill Bruford, Tony Williams, Steve Smith, Billy Cobham, Ed Shaughnessy, Danny Gottlieb, Cactus Moser, and Louie Bellson trade in perfectly good sideman positions for all the stress involved in leading a band?

Added inventiveness is found on Dresser’s GLOBE UNITY: BRAZIL composition “Yeller Grace”, which blends “Yellow Rose of Texas”, “Amazing Grace” and the National Anthem into a barely recognizable yet fully engaging mix. And they show plenty of versatility, as piano and bass converse equally well within the sweeping, legato passages of “For My Mother” or the jarring, playful bounces of “Big Mama”. But the true highlight is their interplay on Dresser’s composition “Mattress on a Stick”, which leads with a breathtakingly lyrical bass introduction, over Moser’s sparse and haunting choice Patience of chords.

  • LA MUSICA D'avanguardia (Provenienza Sconosciuta
    LA MUSICA D’AVANGUARDIA (provenienza sconosciuta!!) Presentazione Questo volume si propone di fornire una panoramica, la piu' aggiornata possibile, sui fenomeni musicali che esulano dalle correnti tradizionali del rock, del jazz e della classica, e che rappresentano in senso lato l'attuale "avanguardia". In tal senso l'avanguardia, piu' che un movimento monolitico e omogeneo, appare come una federazione piu' o meno aperta di tante scuole diverse e separate. Alcune costituiscono la cosiddetta "contemporanea" (capitoli 1-7), figlia dell'avanguardia classica; altre sono scaturite della sperimentazione dei complessi rock (capitoli 8-10); altre ancora appartengono al nuovo jazz, e non fanno altro che legittimare una volta per tutte il jazz nel novero della musica "intellettuale" (capitoli 11-13); la new age, infine, sfrutta le suggestioni delle scuole precedenti (capitoli 14-17). Piuttosto che un'introduzione generale ci sembra allora piu' opportuno fornire una presentazione capitolo per capitolo: 1. L'avanguardia popolare. Per avanguardia si intendeva un tempo soltanto l'avanguardia classica. A dimostrazione di come i tempi siano cambiati, questo libro e' in gran parte dedicato a musicisti che hanno le loro origini nel rock, nel jazz o nella new age. In questo primo capitolo ci proponiamo di fornire una panoramica storica sulla nascita dei movimenti musicali che hanno introdotto le novita' armoniche, acustiche, ideologiche su cui speculano tuttora gli sperimentatori moderni. Ci premeva anche trasmettere la sensazione che esista una qualche continuita' fra i lavori di Varese e Stockhausen (per citarne due particolarmente famosi) e i protagonisti di questo libro. 2. Minimalismo. La scuola minimalista degli anni Settanta era chiaramente delimitata.

  • Jack-Of-All-Trades Ketil Vestrum Einarsen on His Numerous Projects
    Jack-of-all-trades Ketil Vestrum Einarsen on his numerous projects »Prog is actually unpretentious in its pretentiousness« The name „Weserbergland“ and the album title “Sehr Kosmisch Ganz Progisch“ made curious. Communication with the man behind this project started very quickly and turned out to be substantial. And it became obvious how wide his influence is – see below. Zur deutschen Übersetzung des Interviews All english interviews on BetreutesProggen.de Would you please provide some key information on WESERBERGLAND? Is it a band or a short-time project? The album „Sehr Kosmisch Ganz Progisch“ took nine years to write and record (not full time, of course, but I did spend a lot of time, especially in the writing process). I would probably call it a long time project, as we do try to challenge the whole idea of what a band is, and not a band. And we are working on new material. … Why this funny project name and these funny song titles? The whole project was born out of my love of Krautrock. To be more precise, it´s more than just Krautrock. I am indeed a lover of all German things. From wine to literature and art to the beautiful landscapes and towns and cities. I love it. The titles on the album were working titles. I intended to change them, as they are indeed rather silly (see e.g.Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde). But then I just thought, who cares? It is what it is. It is an album where I interpret some aspects of German culture from an outsider´s point of view.
