    28/7/2018 quaderni d'altri tempi LETTURE / The Mantis – for Cecil Taylor – 1966-2009 – The collected pomes di Steve Dalachinsky Poesia e musica, storia di un incontro di Erika Dagnino Steve Dalachinsky, poeta contemporaneo dell’area newyorkese attivo sulla scena free jazz collaborando con musicisti tra cui William Parker, Susie Ibarra, Matthew Shipp, Roy Campbell, Mat Maneri, Federico Ughi, ha recentemente pubblicato la raccolta The Mantis – for Cecil Taylor – 1966-2009 – The Collected Pomes. È lo stesso Dalachinsky nelle Confessions of a Free Jazz ‘Cultist’, rilasciate alla scrivente (tradotte con Marco Bertoli), ad esporre il percorso artistico e di vita che l’ha portato all’incontro con Cecil Taylor e all’inscindibilità tra parola e musica. – CONFESSIONS OF A FREE JAZZ ‘CULTIST’ – Sono nato a Brooklyn poco tempo dopo l’ultima grande Guerra e sono riuscito a sopravvivere a molte piccole guerre (c’è forse nascosta una lezione, qui?) e dato che attualmente guerre, seppure più piccole, congiurano a determinare le nostre vite, mi sento frustrato da gente sempre schierata. C’è solo un unico partito pro-life (non nel senso fondamentalista cristiano, nel senso di ‘sovvenziona il malato di mente’ – fund-a-mental – Dalachinsky), ed è tutta la vita, ogni cosa che è riuscita a sopravvivere quanto me su questo globo vivente, anch’esso in costante lotta per la vita. Ok, basta. Ora “Il poema della mia vita” – musica. Un critico di musica del New York Times ora in pensione, una volta mi descrisse come un Free Jazz Cultist. E un compositore e saxofonista famoso in città chiamò me e mia moglie, con cui sono sposato da trent’anni e che fortunatamente condivide la mia passione per l’arte e come me è poeta e artista visuale, Jazz Snobs.

The material is largely derived from “The Star-Spangled Banner.” One need not attribute an excess of patriotic fervor in the composer as a source for this optimistic homage to our national anthem; Carolyn Bremer, a passionate baseball fan since childhood, drew upon her feelings of happy anticipation at hearing the anthem played before ball games when writing her piece.

Richard Brautigan (1935-1984) was an American writer popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s and is often noted for using humor and emotion to pro- pel a unique vision of hope and imagination throughout his body of work which includes ten books of poetry, eleven novels, one collection of short stories, and miscellaneous non-fiction pieces. His easy-to-read yet idiosyncratic prose style is seen as the best characterization of the cultural electricity prevalent in San Fran- cisco, Brautigan’s home, during the ebbing of the Beat Generation and the emer- gence of the counterculture movement. Brautigan’s best-known works include his novel, Trout Fishing in America (1967), his collection of poetry, The Pill versus The Springhill Mine Disaster (1968), and his collection of stories, Revenge of the Lawn (1971). Stephen Campiglio’s poems have recently appeared in Marco Polo Arts Maga- zine, Off the Coast, New England Jazz History Database, and the anthology, New Hungers for Old: One-Hundred Years of Italian American Poetry.

    Presenting the New: Battles around New Music in New York in the Seventies A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David Grayson, Adviser December 2012 © Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher 2012 i Acknowledgements One of the best things about reaching the end of this process is the opportunity to publicly thank the people who have helped to make it happen. More than any other individual, thanks must go to my wife, who has had to put up with more of my rambling than anybody, and has graciously given me half of every weekend for the last several years to keep working. Thank you, too, to my adviser, David Grayson, whose steady support in a shifting institutional environment has been invaluable. To the rest of my committee: Sumanth Gopinath, Kelley Harness, and Richard Leppert, for their advice and willingness to jump back in on this project after every life-inflicted gap. Thanks also to my mother and to my kids, for different reasons. Thanks to the staff at the New York Public Library (the one on 5th Ave. with the lions) for helping me track down the SoHo Weekly News microfilm when it had apparently vanished, and to the professional staff at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, and to the Fales Special Collections staff at Bobst Library at New York University. Special thanks to the much smaller archival operation at the Kitchen, where I was assisted at various times by John Migliore and Samara Davis.
