    CATALOGUE WELCOME to NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS and NAXOS NOSTALGIA, Twin Compendiums Presenting the Best in Vintage Popular Music

    NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS/NOSTALGIA CATALOGUE WELCOME TO NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS AND NAXOS NOSTALGIA, twin compendiums presenting the best in vintage popular music. Following in the footsteps of Naxos Historical, with its wealth of classical recordings from the golden age of the gramophone, these two upbeat labels put the stars of yesteryear back into the spotlight through glorious new restorations that capture their true essence as never before. NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS documents the most vibrant period in the history of jazz, from the swinging ’20s to the innovative ’40s. Boasting a formidable roster of artists who forever changed the face of jazz, Naxos Jazz Legends focuses on the true giants of jazz, from the fathers of the early styles, to the queens of jazz vocalists and the great innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. NAXOS NOSTALGIA presents a similarly stunning line-up of all-time greats from the golden age of popular entertainment. Featuring the biggest stars of stage and screen performing some of the best- loved hits from the first half of the 20th century, this is a real treasure trove for fans to explore. RESTORING THE STARS OF THE PAST TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, by transforming old 78 rpm recordings into bright-sounding CDs, is an intricate task performed for Naxos by leading specialist producer-engineers using state-of-the-art-equipment. With vast personal collections at their disposal, as well as access to private and institutional libraries, they ensure that only the best available resources are used. The records are first cleaned using special equipment, carefully centred on a heavy-duty turntable, checked for the correct playing speed (often not 78 rpm), then played with the appropriate size of precision stylus.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lashonda Curry 727-896-266, ext. 236 813-447-1752 (c) [email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos Brings to Life Epic Literary Work A series by the late, prominent Ybor City artist features larger-than-life paintings inspired by Dante’s Inferno ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 29, 2019) – One of Tampa Bay’s best-known artists, Theo Wujcik (1936-2014), spent a decade creating a series drawn from the dark and profound literary classic, Dante’s Inferno. Now, those extraordinary paintings are the theme for Theo Wujcik: Cantos, a special exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and inspired by two works in its collection. Gates of Hell (1987) and Canto II (1997) are centered around Inferno, the first part of the epic poem Divine Comedy by Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). The painting Gates of Hell was acquired by the MFA in 2017, but has never been publicly shown at a museum in the Tampa Bay area until now. Other art institutions that own Wujcik’s work include the Art Institute of Chicago; Detroit Institute of Arts; Museum of Modern Art, NY; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is on view April 13 through June 2, 2019. Addressing select cantos from the poem, the 10 paintings on view—many of them epically scaled— range from 1987–1997, and showcase Wujcik’s literal and symbolic interpretation of the captivating journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. Many artists have been inspired by the moral drama of Dante’s Inferno, including English poet and painter William Blake (1757–1827) and French illustrator Gustave Doré (1832–1883).

To unravel the geologic history of Florida and Tampa Bay, Hine dug back over 700 million years. His surprising results have been documented in his book, The Geological History of Florida – the Major Events that Formed the Sunshine State, and an award-winning multi-media project, Tampa Bay Water Story, produced by Katy Hennig, MA ’16. “In one of our projects, we discovered buried freshwater lake sediments in Tampa Bay,” Hine says. “From about 20,000 years ago to about 10,000 years ago, Tampa Bay was partly a freshwater lake. The best record of early humans in Florida, what they ate and how they lived, is right there slightly beneath the seafloor of the bay.” Hine, who specializes in geological oceanography, collects and uses fossils to help tell the story of Florida’s land and water. “Our appreciation for beauty helps remind us of the importance of protecting our natural environment,” he says.

Lieberman Introduction by Virginia Allen 4- The Tamarind Lithography Workshop has almost single- handedly revived the difficult medium of lithography in the past decade. It has provided not only the materials but also the environment that fosters the delicate collaboration be tween artist and printer. Such an environment and indeed even the materials were almost nonexistent in the United States before June Wayne and the Ford Foundation agreed on the importance of providing them. Since Tama rind opened its doors in 1960 it has provided fellowships for numerous artists and printers, most of whom have con tinued their exploration of lithography after leaving Tama rind. The author describes this unique Workshop and also gives a brief history of lithography in Europe and in the United States. Included is a list which catalogs part of the promised gift to The Museum of Modern Art of the Kleiner, Bell and Company Collection of Tamarind Impressions.

Introduction “Dinah,” published in 1925, was one of the leading hit songs to emerge from New York City’s “Tin Pan Alley” music industry during the interwar period, and was recorded in the U.S. by numerous singers and dance bands during the late 1920s and 1930s. It was also one of the most popular songs of the 1930s in Japan, where Japanese composers, arrangers, lyricists and performers, inspired in part by U.S. records, developed and recorded their own versions. In this paper I examine and compare a selection of the American and Japanese recordings of this song with the aim of tracing lines ─ 155 ─ 愛知県立大学外国語学部紀要第43号（言語・文学編） of influence, focusing on the aural evidence of the recordings themselves in relation to their recording and release dates. The analysis will show how American recordings of the song, which resulted from complex interactions of African American and European American artists and musical styles, established certain loose conventions of performance practices that were conveyed to Japan and to Japanese artists. It will then show how these Japanese artists made flexible use of American precedents, while also drawing influences from other Japanese recordings and adding their own individual creative ideas.

    CHAPTER SIX: “IN THE MOOD”: THE SWING ERA, 1935–1945 Chapter Outline I. Swing Music and American Culture A. The Swing Era: 1935–45 1. Beginning in 1935, a new style of jazz-inspired music called “swing” transformed American popular music. 2. Initially developed in the late 1920s by black dance bands in New York, Chicago, and Kansas City 3. The word “swing” (like “jazz,” “blues,” and “rock ’n’ roll”) derives from African American English. a) First used as a verb for the fluid, rocking rhythmic momentum created by well-played music, the term was used by extension to refer to an emotional state characterized by a sense of freedom, vitality, and enjoyment. b) References to “swing” and “swinging” are common in the titles and lyrics of jazz records made during the 1920s and early 1930s. c) Around 1935, the music industry began to use “swing” as a proper noun—the name of a defined musical genre. 4. Between 1935 and 1945, hundreds of large dance orchestras directed by celebrity bandleaders dominated the national hit parade: 1 CHAPTER SIX: “IN THE MOOD”: THE SWING ERA, 1935–1945 a) Benny Goodman b) Tommy Dorsey c) Duke Ellington d) Count Basie e) Glenn Miller 5. These big bands appeared nightly on radio, their performances transmitted coast to coast from hotels and ballrooms in the big cities. 6. Their music was featured on jukeboxes. 7. Many of the bands crisscrossed the country in buses, playing for dances and concerts at local dance halls, theaters, and colleges. 8. The big bands were essentially a big-city phenomenon, a symbol of sophistication and modernity.
