Here you will find resources that shed light on the basics of one of the greatest musical developments in modern history.WWW.BSSVE.IN Born in America, jazz can be seen as a reflection of the cultural diversity and individualism of this country. At its core are openness to all influences, and personal expression through improvisation. Throughout its history, jazz has straddled the worlds of popular music and art music, and it has expanded to a point where its styles are so varied that one may sound completely unrelated to another. First performed in bars, jazz can now be heard in clubs, concert halls, universities, and large festivals all over the world. www.bsscommunitycollege.in www.bssnewgeneration.in www.bsslifeskillscollege.in 2 www.onlineeducation.bharatsevaksamaj.net www.bssskillmission.in Key Points: 1.

  • The Guitar Institute Teacher and Soundtrack Doer Lindsey Boullt Has Come True a Life's Dream with This Album
    Progressive Newsletter Review 092907 Lindsey Boullt – Composition (40:12, Privatpressung, 2007) Der Guitar Institute-Lehrer und Filmmusikmacher Lindsey Boullt hat sich mit diesem Album einen Lebenstraum erfüllt. Allein schon die einzigartige Gästeliste vermag allerdings auch höchste Erwartungen von Proghörern einzulösen: Hier geben sich Jerry Goodman (vln, u. a. The Flock, Mahavishnu Orchestra), Derek Sherinian (keyb., Ex-Dream Theater, Chroma Key, Planet X), Stu Hamm (bss, u. a. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Frank Gambale) und Atma Anur (drms, u. a. Tony MacAlpine, Richie Kotzen, Jason Becker, Cacophony, Doppler Inc., Greg Howe) ein Stelldichein. Doch „Composition“ ist mehr, als nur ein Projekt mit ganz großen Namen, es handelt sich hier Omen-mäßig eben auch um zwingende, geradezu in den Bann schlagende Kompositionen aus dem Umfeld Jazzrock, Progmetal und Weltmusik eindeutig orientalisch/indischer Prägung. Beispielsweise die Gitarren- (Tapping)/Keyboard-Duelle, die sich Boullt und Sherinian auf dem einleitenden „Page Revisited“ liefern, brauchen sich vor nichts auf dem legendären Shrapnel-Label Erschienenen zu verstecken. „Chasing the Whirling Dervish“ jagt überwiegend akustisch einen deutlich erkennbar aus der Mclaughlin-Zauberlampe entwichenen Dämon. Und bringt diesen mit Hilfe von Jerrys magischer Geige schließlich auch wunderbar zu einer Art von musikalischer Räson. Auf „Moving Panvishnu“ lässt derselbe Musikerhurricane das Barometer in die gleiche Richtung sacken, während Boullts Solo dann auf's Angenehmste Allan Holdsworth herbeizitiert. Stimmliche Beiträge vom in der Qawwali-/Sham Chorasi-Tradition singenden pakistanischen Künstler Sukhawat Ali Khan sind u. a. auf dem eindringlichen „Call for Peace“ vernehmlich. Stark anbefohlen für Fans von Mahavishnu, Shakti, Sherinian, The Flock, Curved Air. Erhältlich via iTunes, DigStation und www.lindseybullt.com/music.htm.

  • Guilt, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation in Contemporary Music
    IS SORRY REALLY THE HARDEST WORD? GUILT, FORGIVENESS, AND RECONCILIATION IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC Ariana Sarah Phillips-Hutton Darwin College Department of Music University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 ABSTRACT IS SORRY REALLY THE HARDEST WORD? GUILT, FORGIVENESS, AND RECONCILIATION IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC Ariana S. Phillips-Hutton Guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation are fundamental themes in human musical life, and this thesis investigates how people articulate these experiences through musical performance in contemporary genres. I argue that by participating in performances, individuals enact social narratives that create and reinforce wider ideals of music’s roles in society. I assess the interpenetrations of music and guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation through a number of case studies spanning different genres preceded by a brief introduction to my methodology. My analysis of Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw illustrates the themes (guilt, confession and memorialisation) and approach I adopt in the three main case studies. My examination of William Fitzsimmons’s indie folk album The Sparrow and the Crow, investigates how ideals of authenticity, self-revelation, and persona structure our understanding of the relationship between performer and audience in confessional indie music. Analyses of two contemporary choral settings of Psalm 51 by Arvo Pärt and James MacMillan examine the confessional relationship between human beings and God. I suggest that by

  • Interview by Stuart Winkleman, Rocketsounds
    Elmer Ferrer Cuba's Hot Guitar Hand Part 1 Part 2 Guitarist and composer Elmer Ferrer is one of the most active studio musicians in Cuba. When he first dedicated himself to music, he was one of just a handful of Cuban electric guitar players. Since then, he has become a professor at the school where he studied both classical and electric guitar, toured internationally, and appeared on several soundtracks and over 60 CDs. His flexible and eclectic style includes acoustic folk, blues, hard rock, and electric jazz... a diverse mix of different things, or as they say in Cuba, "tremendo arroz con mango." He was gracious enough to grant Rocket Sounds Photo by Iván Soca this exclusive interview, following the release of his new CD, Fango Dance. RS: Elmer, congratulations on the release of your second CD, Fango Dance. It is awesome! EF: Thanks a lot! I´m glad you like it. RS: What is your background and how did you come to be a guitar player? EF: I was born in Sancti Spíritus, one of the central provinces of Cuba, which always had a very rich musical environment. My mother is a musician too, and when I was a kid, I was surrounded by music all the time. I have a sister and a brother, and the three of us are all professional musicians. I used to sing at school and theaters when I was a kid and always liked the sound of the guitars. That was the instrument that captured my attention, and that was the reason I started to study classical guitar at 12.
