It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.

Some noteworthy performances of Cobra include those played by a group of jazz journalists and critics, an all-women performance, and a hip-hop ver- sion as well!1 At the same time, Cobra is routinely played by students in colleges and universities all over the world, ensuring that the work will continue to grow and evolve in the years to come.

    INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR IMPROVISED MUSIC SIXTH FESTIVAL/CONFERENCE Improvisation · Self · Community·World February 16-19, 2012 William Paterson University Wayne, New Jersey, USA Keynote artists and performers: Pyeng Threadgill & trio Ikue Mori, Sylvie Courvoisier & Jim Black Mulgrew Miller WyldLyfe Robert Dick & Tom Buckner Karl Berger with the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra And over 50 other artists presenting concerts, panels, talks and workshops! ISIM President’s Welcome ISIM President’s Welcome On behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Improvised Music, I extend to all of you a hearty welcome to the sixth ISIM Festival/Conference. Nothing is more gratifying than gatherings of improvising musicians as our common process, regardless of surface differences in our creative expressions, unites us in ways that are truly unique. As the conference theme suggests, by going deep within our reservoir of creativity, we access subtle dimensions of self—or consciousness—that are the source of connections with not only our immediate communities but the world at large. It is dificult to imagine a moment in history when the need for this improvisation-driven, creativity revolution is greater on individual and collective scales than the present. Please join me in thanking the many individuals, far too many to list, who have been instrumental in making this event happen. Headliners Ikue Mori, Pyeng Threadgill, Wyldlife, Karl Berger, the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra, the William Paterson University jazz group, Mulgrew Miller, Robert Dick, and Thomas Buckner—we could not have asked for a more varied and exciting line-up. ISIM Board members Stephen Nachmanovitch and Bill Johnson have provided invaluable assistance, with Steve working his usual heroics with the ISIM website in between, and sometimes during, his performing and speaking tours.

  • Larry Ochs' Interview with Luca Canini for Allaboutjazzitalia.Com Via Email in Winter 2013.(Published April 2013.) Questions
    Larry Ochs’ interview with Luca Canini for AllAboutJazzItalia.com via email in winter 2013.(published April 2013.) Questions in bold. Some years ago, when I first listened to “Electric Ascension”, I was shocked by the intensity and power of the performance: past/future, tradition/innovation. That disc and the few concerts around the world are a deep reflection on jazz, history, improvisation, sound. But everything started back in 1995, when Rova decided to celebrate the 30th anniversary of John Coltrane’s masterpiece. Can you tell me something about the birth of the project? How do you decide to approach such a “problematic” piece (if you consider Ascension a “piece”)? And do you remember the first time you listen to Ascension? I think Coltrane’s “Ascension” is one of the great jazz compositions of all time. A great formal structure; a great piece. Not that I consider myself an expert on all jazz music. I really don’t. But I am an expert on the greatness of that composition. We have played it 11 times as “Electric Ascension.” And yes it is true that we re- arranged the piece and changed the instrumentation, but the basic composition “Ascension” is absolutely at the center of “Electric Ascension;” it totally influences all the music we play in the spontaneous performance. There is no doubt of that. I remember seeing John Coltrane live at the Village Vanguard with his late great quartet in 1967. I was 18. The music overwhelmed me completely. There were maybe 20 people there for that second set of their night.

  • Dave Douglas/Marcus Rojas Duo
    Solos and Duos Series Glenn Siegel, Program Director 15 Curry Hicks, 100 Hicks Way (413) 545-2876 University of Massachusetts [email protected] Amherst, MA 01003 www.fineartscenter.com THE 2008 SOLOS & DUOS SERIES PRESENTS: Dave Douglas/Marcus Rojas Duo The Solos & Duos Series, produced by the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, concludes its 7th season with a duo concert by trumpeter Dave Douglas and tuba player Marcus Rojas on Thursday, November 20, in Bezanson Recital Hall at 8:00pm. Dave Douglas is widely recognized as one of the most important and original American musicians to emerge from the jazz and improvised music scene of the last decade. His collaborations as a trumpeter read like a who's who of important contemporary artists: John Zorn, Joe Lovano, Bill Frisell, Don Byron, Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, Myra Melford, Andy Bey, Trisha Brown, Henry Grimes, Tom Waits, Rabih Abou-Khalil, DJ Olive, Ikue Mori, Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg, Uri Caine, Roswell Rudd, Andrew Cyrille, Marc Ribot, Karsh Kale, Mark Dresser, Marty Ehrlich, and many others. For the past half decade Dave Douglas has repeatedly been named trumpeter, composer, and jazz artist of the year by such organizations as the New York Jazz Awards, Down Beat, Jazz Times, and Jazziz. Dave Douglas is “an original thinker blessed with a seemingly bottomless well of intriguing ideas,” writes Howard Reich. Since 1993, Douglas has released 21 albums of original music, and has appeared on over one hundred recordings. His 2000 album “Soul on Soul”, was voted “Album of the Year” by DownBeat.

    BAD 58 ALCHEMY 1 STEINER: ... Die Musik besiegt den Tod, aber dann besiegt das Mysterium tremendum die Musik. Orpheus stirbt, von den Mänaden zerrissen. Dann kommt etwas, das für uns heute abend wichtig ist: Der Körper blutet aus, aber, das ist eine archaische Überlieferung, der Kopf singt weiter. Aus dem Mund des toten Orpheus strömt Musik. Das zweite Thema ist Marsyas, dieser grausame, furchtbare Mythos vom Kampf zwischen ihm und Apollon, in dem Marsyas geschändet wird. Auf Tizians berühmtem Gemälde finden wir alle Motive unseres heutigen Gesprächs. Es ist das größte seiner Bilder, und auch das grausamste. Worum ging es in dem Kampf? In dem Logos Apollons heißt es: Musik ist das Ornament der Sprache. Und Marsyas sagt: Der Wind ist Musik, der Vogel singt Musik, das Meeresrauschen ist Musik. Die Sprache ist ein später Gast und ein falscher. Dann das Sirenen-Motiv. Der Gesang tötet, er hält ganz mysteriös das Versprechen. Was sagen die Sirenen? Wir können dir sagen, was in der Welt war, was in der Welt ist und was in ihr sein wird. Die Verheißung des Alten Testa- ments. Die Verheißung des Baums im Paradies, des Baums der Wissenschaft, des Wissens. Hör unserem Gesang zu. Odysseus überlebt, er segelt weiter. Das war der letzte Moment, wo der Mensch in der Musik die Urkraft der Schöpfung hören konnte. Aber die Warnung war da: Musik ist übermenschlich, aber auch unmenschlich. Schopenhauer sagt: Auch wenn die Welt nicht wäre, könnte die Musik bestehen. Ich bin sicher, der Satz stimmt. Zuerst sind wir Gäste der Musik. Vielleicht kommt die Sprache erst viel später.

  • Conducted Improvisation
    EXAMENSARBETE 15hp Vårterminen 2015 Lärarutbildningen i musik Handledare: Stefan Östersjö Conducted Improvisation A study of the effect of the concept of signs on musical creativity Nana Pi Aabo Larsen 1 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis Conducted Improvisation is to study how a musical sign language can effect creativity, musical interaction and sense of freedom in ensemble playing by analyzing Extemporize, a sign system I have developed, with the further goal to explore the pedagogical potential in this practice. The research questions that drive this study are: In what ways does the sign system effect creativity and playfulness in improvised performance? In what ways does the sign system affect the sense of freedom in ensemble performance? In what ways does the sign system effect musical interaction? The material for the survey has been acquired through video documentation of rehearsals and concerts and interviews with the participants. 15 musicians took part in this study whereof 10 of them were interviewed. The results of the study indicate that sign language is effective in working with improvisation in ensemble and can have an impact on both freedom and constraint, it has the possibility to strengthen the voice of the musicians and push them in other musical directions than normally. But conducted improvisation can also create frustrations in the musicians, especially if the sign system is not rehearsed enough. Keywords: Conducted improvisation, sign system, musical performance, ensemble teaching, artistic research. 3 Sammenfatning Formålet med denne afhandling Conducted Improvisation er at undersøge, hvordan et musikalsk tegnsprog kan påvirke kreativitet, musikalsk interaktion og følelse af frihed i sammenspilssituationer ved at analysere Extemporize, et tegnsprog jeg har udarbejdet, med yderligere det formål at udforske det pædagogiske potentiale i denne praksis.
