    MUSICAL BORROWING IN HIP-HOP MUSIC: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS AND CASE STUDIES Justin A. Williams, BA, MMus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2009 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop Music: Theoretical Frameworks and Case Studies Justin A. Williams ABSTRACT ‗Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop‘ begins with a crucial premise: the hip-hop world, as an imagined community, regards unconcealed intertextuality as integral to the production and reception of its artistic culture. In other words, borrowing, in its multidimensional forms and manifestations, is central to the aesthetics of hip-hop. This study of borrowing in hip-hop music, which transcends narrow discourses on ‗sampling‘ (digital sampling), illustrates the variety of ways that one can borrow from a source text or trope, and ways that audiences identify and respond to these practices. Another function of this thesis is to initiate a more nuanced discourse in hip-hop studies, to allow for the number of intertextual avenues travelled within hip-hop recordings, and to present academic frameworks with which to study them. The following five chapters provide case studies that prove that musical borrowing, part and parcel of hip-hop aesthetics, occurs on multiple planes and within myriad dimensions. These case studies include borrowing from the internal past of the genre (Ch. 1), the use of jazz and its reception as an ‗art music‘ within hip-hop (Ch. 2), borrowing and mixing intended for listening spaces such as the automobile (Ch. 3), sampling the voice of rap artists posthumously (Ch. 4), and sampling and borrowing as lineage within the gangsta rap subgenre (Ch.

  • Zen in the Art of Drumming: Jim Blackley and His Influence on the Jazz Drummers of Canada
    ZEN IN THE ART OF DRUMMING: JIM BLACKLEY AND HIS INFLUENCE ON THE JAZZ DRUMMERS OF CANADA GIUSEPPE IANNUZZI A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY 2019 © GIUSEPPE IANNUZZI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to examine how the pedagogy of Jim Blackley (1927- 2017)— the late Scottish-Canadian jazz drummer and educator— influenced several generations of Canadian jazz drummers. Blackley’s seminal publications such as Syncopated Rolls for the Modern Drummer Vol.1 (1961) and The Essence of Jazz Drumming (2001) disavow the traditional instruction of the snare drum rudiments in favour of playing and interpreting musical lines. Consequently, Blackley inculcated in his students the importance of the drummer’s ride cymbal acting as the primary means of stating time and providing the accents, punctuations, and phrases so vital to jazz rhythmic accompaniment. Through emphasizing the development of strong time keeping skills, an awareness of song form, the memorization and vocalization of rhythmic figures and phrases, and the significance of listening carefully to the bass line, chord changes and melody when improvising, Blackley instilled in his students the inviolable tenet of playing the drums musically. Using an ethnographic approach culling data from interviews with Blackley’s former students such as Terry Clarke, Barry Elmes, Duris Maxwell, and others, this thesis will also explore issues of identity construction and construal examining how Blackley’s pedagogy had led his students on an important journey of identity realization.

    Press Contact: Lydia Liebman Promotions 570 - 730 - 5297 [email protected] Grammy® Nominated Vocalist, Pianist, Composer and Arranger Nicole Zuraitis Releases Her Exciting, Provocative New Album All Wandering Hearts, Out ______ On Dot Time ​ ​ Records Dot Time Records recording artist Nicole Zuraitis’ fourth album as a bandleader, All ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Wandering Hearts explores the raw emotions and tribulations of life on the road as a full-time ​ ​ musician. Listeners will take a journey through genre-bending jazz-adjacent soundscapes that are both complex and lyrical in nature. Delving into themes of love, loss, and exploration, the album is an insight into the experience of the creative mind in today’s socio-political climate. Alongside Nicole, the album features an all-star cast of New York City based musicians including Idan Morim on guitar, Dan Pugach on drums, Alex Busby Smith on bass, Carmen ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Staaf on the rhodes and organ, Thana Alexa on vocals, Elise Testone on vocals and Chase ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Potter on strings. ​ Recorded in August 2019, All Wandering Hearts consists of seven original compositions by ​ ​ Zuraitis, and three unique arrangements of classic songs. On this impassioned release, Zuraitis taps into the psyche of modern-day America with her clever songwriting and stunning vocal performance. The tracks of this album cover major issues that working artists face on the road such as maintaining their mental and physical health, homesickness, relationship woes, coping with death, social media burnout, exhaustion, mercurial emotions and the constant worry of making ends meet. “With this diversion into the songwriting world, I wanted to pay homage to ​ ​ ​ my jazz roots and the great american songbook,” Zuraitis notes.
