  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter 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 Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

There's magic in the air, or at the very least a common ground of shared values that makes this combination of two great musicians turn everything golden. That's not to say their progressive ideas are completely harnessed, but this recording is something lovers of dinner music or late-night romantic trysts will equally appreciate. McCoy Tyner. Extensions - McCoy Tyner. Tyner died on March 6, at his home in New Jersey.

McCoy later said, Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighborhood. He also befriended saxophonist John Coltrane, then a member of trumpeter Miles Davis' band. A flow of adventurous, eclectic albums followed throughout the decade, many featuring his quartet with saxophonist Azar Lawrence, including 's Song for My Lady, 's Enlightenment, and 's Atlantis.

Throughout his career, Tyner continued to push himself, arranging for his big band and releasing Grammy-winning albums with 's Blues for Coltrane: A Tribute to John Coltrane and 's The Turning Point.

The lessons we can learn from his work and his life have been deemed immeasurable. As the Philadelphia Clef Club Of Jazz and Performing Arts prepares to celebrate his having been part of our family, we thought the following might give Lee some new talking points as a sage at this age. Lee Morgan Lesson 1 : WHY LIMIT YOURSELF ??? “Originally interested in the vibraphone, he soon showed a growing enthusiasm for the trumpet. Morgan also knew how to play the alto saxophone ”. Lee Morgan Lesson 2 ::: DON’T JUST HANG AROUND OTHER MUSICIANS; MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS TO TOURTOUR,, RECORD, INSPIRE & MATURE WITH THEM. “His primary stylistic influence was Clifford Brown , who gave the teenager a few lessons before he joined the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band at 18, He began recording for Blue Note Records in 1956, Lee also recorded for a variety of labels, including Blue Note, Vee-Jay, Roulette, Jazzland and Trip eventually recording 25 albums as a leader for the company with more than 250 musicians ”, A SERIOUSLY SMALL SAMPLING of this list includes: Hank Mobley John Coltrane Art Blakey Benny Golson Wayne Shorter Bobby Timmons Jymie Merritt Billy Hart Grachan Moncur III Freddie Hubbard Wynton Kelly Paul Chambers Grant Green Herbie Hancock Reggie Workman Billy Higgins John Gilmore Stanley Turrentine Jackie McLean Ron Carter Joe Henderson McCoy Tyner Lonnie Liston-Smith Elvin Jones Jack Wilson Reuben Wilson Larry Young Clifford Jordan Andrew Hill Billy Harper Bennie Maupin Marold Mabern Mickey Rokey Freddie Waits Oscar Peterson Lee Morgan Lesson 333: NO MATTMATTERER HOW GREAT THE INFLUENCEINFLUENCE,, DON’T LET THEM INFLUENCE YOU WITH DANGEROUS, SSTUPIDTUPID HABITS LIKE DRUGSDRUGS.DRUGS ..
