    Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Soun... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/arts/music/bobby-hutchers... http://nyti.ms/2bdO8F9 MUSIC Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Sound, Dies at 75 By NATE CHINEN AUG. 16, 2016 Bobby Hutcherson, one of the most admired and accomplished vibraphonists in jazz, died on Monday at his home in Montara, Calif. He was 75. Marshall Lamm, a spokesman for Mr. Hutcherson’s family, confirmed the death, saying Mr. Hutcherson had long been treated for emphysema. Mr. Hutcherson’s career took flight in the early 1960s, as jazz was slipping free of the complex harmonic and rhythmic designs of bebop. He was fluent in that language, but he was also one of the first to adapt his instrument to a freer postbop language, often playing chords with a pair of mallets in each hand. He released more than 40 albums and appeared on many more, including some regarded as classics, like “Out to Lunch,” by the alto saxophonist, flutist and bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy, and “Mode for Joe,” by the tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson. Both of those albums were a byproduct of Mr. Hutcherson’s close affiliation with Blue Note Records, from 1963 to 1977. He was part of a wave of young artists who defined the label’s forays into experimentalism, including the pianist Andrew Hill and the alto saxophonist Jackie McLean. But he also worked with hard-bop stalwarts like the tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon, and he later delved into jazz-funk and Afro-Latin grooves. Mr. Hutcherson had a clear, ringing sound, but his style was luminescent and 1 of 4 8/17/16, 2:43 PM Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Soun..

    PUBUC WORKS &GANG REDUCTiO. -. MOTION Gerald Wilson played for more than 75 years, a musician who delighted millions, all over the world, with his music. Wilson later served in the US Navy and while there he played with musicians like Clark Terry, Willie Smith and Jimmy Nottingham which would later be reunited as "The Great Lakes Experience Big Band." In the 1940s, Gerald made his way out to Los Angeles and began working the club circuit along the famous South Central Avenue corridor, including famous musical venues like and the Dunbar Hotel. It was along Central that Gerald solidified his musical career, providing guidance and assistance to a number of up and coming jazz musicians like Bobby Bryant, Harold Land Jr., Jack Wilkins and many others and helping to make Los Angeles the epicenter of Jazz on the west coast. Over more than seven decades, Gerald played and arranged for a tremendous number of jazz legends including Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, Julie London, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington, among many others. But Gerald was driven to do more for his community. So he spent several years as a professor at California State University Los Angeles, California State University Northridge, Cal Arts and the University of California at Los Angeles, helping to train a new generation of jazz aficionados and musicians and where he was recognized several times by students and faculty as "teacher ofthe year." I THEREFORE MOVE that the intersection of 42nd Place and S. Central Avenue be named as "Gerald Wilson Square" and that the Department of Transportation be directed to fabricate and install permanent ceremonial signs to this effect at this location, in consultation with Council District 9, in recognition of Gerald Wilson dedication to bringing music education to the Greater Los Angeles Community.

  • XIII. Supplemental Information (PDF)
    Annual Budget Process The City of Durham’s annual budget process is the framework for communicating major financial operational objectives and for allocating resources to achieve them. This process is a complex undertaking involving the whole government. The process begins in October and runs until the end of June. By state law, the City must adopt an annual budget ordinance by June 30 of each year. Coordination of the process is essential to the building of the budget. To achieve coordination, a calendar of activities is summarized on this page. Once the budget is approved, the focus of the budget becomes control. Ongoing monitoring of expenditures and revenues throughout the year is a responsibility shared by department heads and the Budget Department. The Accounting Services Division ensures that changes are correctly entered and payments are appropriate. The Budget and Management Services Department reviews all requests from departments to make sure that sufficient appropriations have been budgeted. All funds are reviewed on a regular basis, and a budget report is submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis. The City Manager has the authority to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any function. However, transfers between functions, additions or deletions require a budget amendment. To amend the budget, a revised budget ordinance must be approved by the City Council. January February March Department budgets submitted Coffees with Council continue. Budget kick-off.

The main part of campus - aside from the Duke Forest and other properties - is nearly 2000 acres, with approximately 500 acres of that being actively maintained. The large amount of tree coverage, road network, topography, and natural drainage system, along with extensive designed landscapes, athletic fi elds and gardens, makes the campus an incredibly rich and complex place. These guidelines are intended to be a resource for creating and maintaining a campus landscape with a certain level of consistency that exists across various precincts with specifi c contextual requirements. These guidelines will help to set the character for the different landscape types while also providing detailed recommendations and precedents for what has and has not worked on campus previously.

  • Romare Bearden
    Let’s Create A Collage An abstract mixed-media project inspired by the work of Romare Bearden What is COLLAGE and DÉCHIRAGE? Collage is a technique where a piece of art is created by assemblying different images and shapes and adding them in layers to a piece of paper, canvas, or object. A collage might include images or headlines from a magazine or news- paper, photos, color papers, fabric, items found in nature, and/or other objects. Déchirage, which means “to tear” in French, is an artistic style that distresses paper to create a 3D patchwork. Déchirage is a form of décollage (which is the opposite of collage) because the art is created by cutting, tearing away, or otherwise removing pieces of the original image.

  • Introduction to Romare Bearden #1 “Jamming at the Savoy” by Bearden
    Copyright, 1994, Art Outreach, an extension of the Education Department and School of Art, Springfield Art Association of Edwards Place, an Illinois non-profit corporation. #53 ROMARE BEARDEN AND WILLIAM H. JOHNSON Images Artists #1 “Jamming At the Savoy” Bearden #2 “The Return of Maudelle Sleet” Bearden #3 “Return of the Prodigal Son” Bearden #4 “The Lamp” Bearden #5 “Out Chorus” Bearden #6 “Man in a Vest” Johnson #7 “Going to Church” Johnson #8 “Mom and Dad” Johnson Introduction to Romare Bearden “He struck me as taller somehow and even more substantial than his 5”11”, 210 pound frame would warrant, smiling with a gaze in his hazel green eyes that was at the same time congenial, approachable, yet detached and distant--and there was a decidedly special aura about him. Although Bearden was a remarkably fair-skinned black American, he was also what Albert Murray had called an Omni-American--part frontiersman, part Cherokee, part Southerner, part urbane Harlemite, and part blues-idiom hero. He was a man whose presence charged a room with intelligence, not that he ever put on any airs: he had no need to.” Quote by Myron Schwartzman, author. Right now, it is almost impossible to go into a bookstore and not come across a book with Romare Bearden’s art on its cover. We make two assumptions when encountering this phenomenon: that the contents of the book have something to do with the “black experience”: and that the publisher wants to be absolutely sure we know this. These assumptions expose an underlying problem in the literature on Bearden: the common reduction of his work to just a record of the black experience.
