This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

Again, there is a mixture of set-price and auction items. As usual, the set-price records can be ordered, paid for and sent to you now. Alternatively, the set-price items can be reserved and paid for at a later date, either when the auction closes or put aside and collected from an upcoming record fair (see below). Again, there is no LP auction this time; instead there is a larger modern jazz set-price list. Finally, I need to point out that 2020 may well be the last year that I send out such large lists. I am aiming to at least partially retire by the end of the year. This means that I want to sell large quantities of my remaining stock. I have now managed to sell most of my excess stock of 78s. However, if you, or anyone you know, are interested in buying a quantity of LPs, please get in touch. SEE YOU AT THE RECORD FAIR: For the first time for as long as I can remember, this regular feature of our lists is a blank. This is, of course, not through any dimunition in our enthusiam for such events but as a result of the current crisis we are all living through. At present the Utrecht Fair in November is still pencilled in but I fear, in the end, this event will go the same way as the one that should have been held in April.

  • South African Music in Transition: a Flutist's Perspective
    South African Music in Transition: A Flutist‘s Perspective by Liesel Margrit Deppe A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Liesel Margrit Deppe (2012) South African Music in Transition: A Flutist‘s Perspective Liesel Margrit Deppe Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT In April 1994 the citizens of South Africa found themselves in the unique position of contemplating a new national culture; one that would for the first time embrace all South Africans, regardless of race, colour or religion. Official segregation, which began in 1948, ended with the first democratic election held in1994. Cross-cultural awareness in South Africa emerged in the 1980s. Within this temporal context, this investigation will trace parallel developments in the South African classical music genre and will relate these developments to the concurrent socio-political environment. Looking specifically at music written for the flute, the selected works were composed for the flute as a solo instrument, or in combination with up to four other instruments by a cross-section of South African composers who either live in South Africa or who have South African roots. The works included in this study were composed roughly ten years before and after 1994; the purpose being to document the changes that were taking place in South African Art Music leading up to the first democratic election and during the exciting times that followed.

  • Jazz Guitarist Jimmy Ponder: a Case Study of Creative Processes and Identity Formation in American Popular Music
    JAZZ GUITARIST JIMMY PONDER: A CASE STUDY OF CREATIVE PROCESSES AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC By Colter Harper BM Duquesne University, 2001 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Department of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA, Ethnomusicology University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Faculty of Arts and Sciences This thesis was presented by Colter Harper It was defended on November 30, 2006 and approved by Akin Euba, PhD, Andrew Mellon Professor of Music Andrew Weintraub, PhD, Associate Professor of Music Thesis Director: Nathan Davis, PhD, Professor of Music ii Copyright © by Colter Harper 2006 iii JAZZ GUITARIST JIMMY PONDER: A CASE STUDY OF CREATIVE PROCESSES AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC Colter Harper, MA University of Pittsburgh, 2006 This study examines musical and social processes in American popular music through the creative life of Pittsburgh born jazz guitarist Jimmy Ponder. I contextualize Ponder’s technical and conceptual approaches with a historical analysis of developments in jazz during the mid-20th century. In examining intersections between jazz and other popular forms of music during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, I aim to identify Ponder’s “musical identity,” which encapsulates the totality of his musical existence. In this study, I focus on relating musical sounds to social contexts and the processes that give these sound meaning. Musical identity, as a tool for examining the creative life of the jazz musician, is comprised of the individual’s approach to their instrument(s), recording, band leading, performance, song interpretation, and improvisation. From these approaches develops a “voice” with which the musician creates meaningful musical experiences (authentic performances) as well as engages certain social realities in public contexts (affective collective listening).
