Thomas JAZZ IN CHICAGO APRIL 2021 3 APRIL 30: INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY BY HOWARD MANDEL ©2021 [email protected] The Jazz Institute of Chicago, in partnership with Fulton Street Collective, presents Chicago’s Wide World of Jazz on International Jazz Day, April 30, 2021, joining a world-wide cultural occasion sponsored by UNESCO, co-chaired by celebrated Chicago-native pianist Herbie Hancock. On that day, visitors to www.jazzinchicago.org will access a unique audio-animated video production, highlighting lands from which some of our city's most distinctive musicians have come, dropping in to watch them in exclusive new Jazz Institute video performances. Bassist Tatsu Aoki, originally from Japan; percussionist Juan Pastor, from Peru; vocalist Grazyna Auguscik, from Poland; pianist Liza Micelli, of Italian heritage and Caribbean experience, with Venezuelan-born bassist Freddy Quintero, and guitarist Fareed Haque, of Chilean and Pakistani background, all retain echoes of their native cultures while reveling in the practical, creative, individualistic Chicago jazz ethos. That Chicago ethos is exemplified, too, by multiple Grammy Award-winning, platinum selling Herbie Hancock, a child prodigy from the city's South Side. Hancock has been in jazz's forefront for 60 years -- writing "Watermelon Man" for Mongo Santamaria in 1962, as Miles Davis' accompanist throughout the 1960s while releasing classics of his own with Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard and other firebreathers, ushering in electro-acoustics with his Mwandishi band, having the fusion hit "Chameleon," inventing instrumental hip-hop with "Rockit" and acid jazz when US3 sampled "Cantaloupe Island," convening all-stars to explore the music of Joni Mitchell and George Gershwin. Fans await the release of his rumored recording with Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Kamasi Washington, Thundercat and Flying Lotus. All the while Hancock has collaborated with artists from Africa (such as Chicago-resident griot Jali Foday Musa Suso on Village Life), Brazil (Gal Costa, Antonio Carlos Jobim), Japan (Kimiko Kasai) and India (Zakir Hussain), and has long worked with international students at the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz (formerly the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz). In 2011 he was named a Goodwill Ambassador of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in recognition of his "dedication to the promotion of peace through dialogue, culture and the arts." In December 2012 the United Nations formally welcomed the UNESCO General Conference's proclamation of April 30 as International Jazz Day, celebrating the art form's global manifestations and "its roots, recognizing it for promoting peace, dialogue among cultures, diversity, respect for human rights and human dignity; eradicating discrimination; promoting freedom of expression; fostering gender equality, and reinforcing the role of youth in enacting social change." From that beginning Hancock has served as a performing host of International Jazz Day webcasts bringing together events from everywhere. In 2020 IJD was held online due to pandemic restrictions on in-person gatherings, and that will be the case again on April 30, 2021. This gives the Jazz Institute of Chicago an opportunity to proudly hail our city's role as a birthplace – since Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong arrived from New Orleans in the early 1920s -- and continuing generator of new jazz, and a magnet for musicians from the world over, seeking fertile ground and a strong tradition from which to draw. Chicago’s Wide World of Jazz on International Jazz Day cheers on all that! n JAZZ IN CHICAGO APRIL 2021 4 * PLEASE NOTE: Not all venues have their schedules set by our deadlines EVENTS CALENDAR or present jazz exclusively.

  • The Four Freshmen...ON the ROAD!
    Volume 22, No.4 October, November, December 2008 Brian Eichenberger "AND SO IT'S OVER" Lead Voice Borrowing on that great closer of the Freshmen, the curtain came down on the 60th anni- versary celebration in Indianapolis on August 23rd. Closing on the 21st edition of the Four Freshmen Society's annual get-together was indeed a bittersweet moment for the conven- tion planning committee which had worked for the past two and a half years to organize the event, attended by nearly 600 "guests" from 36 states and nine countries. On behalf of the planning committee, we hope everyone in attendance had a great experi- ence, and we're sorry for those of you who couldn't be here. From all reports, the hotel accomodations, the food, the 113 Club (music mart, silent auction, FF gallery, etc), the tour, the overflow Wannabee sessions, Fresh Talk, and especially the music did not disappoint. For all of that and the new and renewed friendships of the legions of Freshmen fans, we are most thankful. Curtis Calderon And, of course who will ever forget the presence and performances of Freshmen Bob Flani- 2nd Voice gan, Ross Barbour, Bob Ferreira, Brian Eichenberger, Vince Johnson, Curtis Calderon, Ray Brown, Rod Henley, Kirk Marcy, and Greg Stegeman. Mrs. Don Barbour also joined in the anniversary festivities. In the event that anyone missed the opportunity to purchase some of the extra registration "goodies", we have a few of each of the following for sale.

It has evolved while balancing traditional forces with the pursuit of new ideas and approaches. Today jazz continues to expand at an exciting rate while following a similar path. 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.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.

  • Diasporic P'ungmul in the United States
    Diasporic P’ungmul in the United States: A Journey between Korea and the United States DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Soo-Jin Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Professor Udo Will, Advisor Associate Professor Chan E. Park Assistant Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright by Soo-Jin Kim 2011 Abstract This study contributes to understanding diaspora and its music cultures by examining the Korean genre of p’ungmul as a particular site of continuous and dynamic cultural socio-political exchange between the homeland and the host society. As practiced in Los Angeles and New York City, this genre of percussion music and dance is shaped by Korean cultural politics, intellectual ideologies and institutions as p’ungmul practitioners in the United States seek performance aesthetics that fit into new performance contexts. This project first describes these contexts by tracing the history of Korean emigration to the United States and identifying the characteristics of immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York City. While the p’ungmul troupes developed by Korean political refugees, who arrived during the 1980s, show the influence of the minjung cultural movement in Korea, cultural politics of the Korean government also played an important role in stimulating Korean American performers to learn traditional Korean performing arts by sending troupes to the United States. The dissertation then analyzes the various methods by which p’ungmul is transmitted in the United States, including the different methods of teaching and learning p’ungmul—writing verbalizations of instrumental sounds on paper, score, CD/DVD, and audio/video files found on the internet—and the cognitive consequences of those methods.

  • After the Arusha Declaration, 1967-1984 Amandina Lihamba
    POLITICS AND THEATRE IN TANZANIA AFTER THE ARUSHA DECLARATION, 1967-1984 AMANDINA LIHAMBA A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS SCHOOL OF ENGLISH 1985 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the practice of theatre in Tanzania after the Arusha Declaration of 1967, The Arusha Declaration as Tanzania's blueprint for socialist transformation ushered in an era in which economic and political attempts were made to direct the country towards Ujamaa and away from capitalist structures and development. The social reality of the period has been dominated by the articulation between the attempts for the socialist transformation and the histor­ ical political factors supporting or undermining the transformation. This thesis discusses contemporary Tanzanian theatre within the frame­ work of the political events and social reality after 1967. There are six chapters in the thesis. Chapter 1 provides the historical back­ ground of contemporary Tanzanian theatre. It includes an examination of traditional theatre performances within and outside the colonial experience as well as the historical role of Kiswahili as a chosen language of theatre communication. Chapter 2 looks into the Arusha Declaration, its tenets, objectives, some aspects of its effects on social practices and the theoretical responses regarding the role of an art form such as theatre within Ujamaa. A discussion on the works of Tanzania's leading playwright, Ebrahim Hussein, is the concern of Chapter 3. Chapter 4 examines plays and performances by the other theatre practitioners of the period. Official policies and the practice of theatre in state institutions are described in Chapter 5 and the last Chapter covers the development of theatre for social development as well as the nature of theatre control and censorship in the period under investigation.
