About the Cover Cylindrical Surface Plot of the Head-Related Transfer Function: Magnitude Response as a Function of Frequency over Azimuth Angle on a Radial Axis, by William Martens of E-mu/Creative Technology Center. The cover photograph shows a visualization of the magnitude response (gain) of the head-related transfer function (HRTF) measured at the eardrum position of the anthropomorphic mannequin KEMAR. HRTFs were measured for 19 loudspeaker directions circling the side of the head facing the loudspeaker placed at ear level. The surface was constructed by interpolating the gain within each of 50 log-spaced frequency bands for the 19 HRTFs using a bicubic spline. The lowest band was centered on 55 Hz, the highest on 21,331 Hz. The distance of the surface from the origin and the color indicates the gain at a particular frequency and azimuth, which ranges from blue-black at the lowest gain (-43.9 dB) to a desaturated yellow at the peak gain (14.6 dB).

    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLII, Number 2 Sprimg 2013 “Live From The East”: Pharoah Sanders in Brooklyn By Jeffrey Taylor, Brooklyn College, CUNY Though for most jazz historians Brooklyn remains in the shadow of Manhattan, two previous articles in this journal have documented a robust tradition that can be traced back as far as performances by The Creole Band at Coney Island in 1915.1 Though often paralleling musical developments across the East River, Brooklyn jazz has also been shaped by the unique dynamic of the borough’s ethnic and racial makeup, as well as the very spe- cial qualities of its many, often insular, neighborhoods.2 The historically black neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant in central Brooklyn, or “Bed-Stuy” as it is more commonly referred to, has long been a center of jazz, with its “Golden Age” of the 1940s and 1950s seeing performances by first-tier jazz musicians, includ- ing Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and many oth- ers. Though the popular imagination may now see Bed-Stuy primar- ily as a backdrop for Spike Lee movies, it boasts a black presence that goes far back into the 19th century, with the establishment of communities of freedmen in places such as Weeksville—now part of neighboring Crown Heights. With the construction of the A train in the mid-1930s, which connected Bed-Stuy with Harlem, the neigh- borhood became a cultural mecca that rivaled Manhattan’s larger and more famous African American community.

As new age tries to redefine itself as "contemporary instrumental music," the presence of other cultures has grown more audible. A nice example of the trend comes from a new release by Milwaukee's Narada Records, Ancient Future's "Asian Fusion." Some of the American group's compositions fall perilously close to tropical mood music. Some of them succeed at meeting the ambitious goal, set out in the CD's title, of a synthesis between Asia and the contemporary West.
