  • Water Access and Distribution in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
    From Public Pipes to Private Hands Water Access and Distribution in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Marianne Kjellén Department of Human Geography Stockholm University 2006 Abstract In cities around the world, public water systems have increasingly come to be operated by private companies. Along with an internationally funded investment program to refurbish the dilapidated water infrastructure, private operations were tested also in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Only about a third of the households, however, are reached by the piped water system; most households purchase water from those with pipe-connections or private boreholes. Thus, water distribution was informally privatized by way of water vending long before formal private sector participation began. This thesis explores individual and collective endeavors in water development, distribution, and access, along with the global and local influences that shaped the privatization exercise. With regard to the lease of Dar es Salaam’s water system, the institutional set-up has been found to mix the British and French models, having influenced the local situation through development assistance and conditionalities tied to loans. The institutional contradictions may have contributed to the conflictive cancellation of the lease arrangement. Due to the public utility company’s lack of operating capital and investment planning, infrastructure development has responded mainly to immediate individual demands, resulting in a spaghetti-like network and structural leakage. The long-standing under-performance and low coverage of the piped water system have forced many people to devise their own ways to access water. This thesis argues that the individually devised artisan ways of water provisioning constitute the lifeline of Dar es Salaam’s water system.

  • Part 2 of Selected Discography
    Part 2 of Selected Discography Milt Hinton Solos Compiled by Ed Berger (1949-2017) - Librarian, journalist, music producer, photographer, historian, and former Associate Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. This is a chronological list of representative solos by Hinton as a sideman in a variety of settings throughout his career. Although not definitive, Milt was such a consistent soloist that one could cite many other equally accomplished performances. In some cases, particularly from the 1930s when bass solos were relatively rare, the recordings listed contain prominent bass accompaniment.

  • The Exotic Rhythms of Don Ellis a Dissertation Submitted to the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Partial Fu
    THE EXOTIC RHYTHMS OF DON ELLIS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE PEABODY INSTITUTE OF THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS BY SEAN P. FENLON MAY 25, 2002 © Copyright 2002 Sean P. Fenlon All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Fenlon, Sean P. The Exotic Rhythms of Don Ellis. Diss. The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, 2002. This dissertation examines the rhythmic innovations of jazz musician and composer Don Ellis (1934-1978), both in Ellis’s theory and in his musical practice. It begins with a brief biographical overview of Ellis and his musical development. It then explores the historical development of jazz rhythms and meters, with special attention to Dave Brubeck and Stan Kenton, Ellis’s predecessors in the use of “exotic” rhythms. Three documents that Ellis wrote about his rhythmic theories are analyzed: “An Introduction to Indian Music for the Jazz Musician” (1965), The New Rhythm Book (1972), and Rhythm (c. 1973). Based on these sources a general framework is proposed that encompasses Ellis’s important concepts and innovations in rhythms. This framework is applied in a narrative analysis of “Strawberry Soup” (1971), one of Don Ellis’s most rhythmically-complex and also most-popular compositions. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to my dissertation advisor, Dr. John Spitzer, and other members of the Peabody staff that have endured my extended effort in completing this dissertation. Also, a special thanks goes out to Dr. H. Gene Griswold for his support during the early years of my music studies.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. 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”.

He said there was enormous pressure on young players, Darius Brubeck, one of Dave’s sons, for many years a during his fonnative years, to emulate Parker. He called it “a jazz teacher in South Africa and England, told me he was kind ofmusical McCarthyism.” Much ofwhat Paul said was about twelve before he realized that Paul wasn’t actually his frmny not only for its content but his manner of speech, his uncle. idiosyncratic inflections, which ofcourse cannotbe captured “From the very first,” Dave says in that introduction, “we on paper.

  • Hilary Geddes
    Sydney Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Vol. 6, December 2016 Language, Rhythm and Legitimacy Issues: An Examination of Factors Contributing to the Success of Time Out HILARY GEDDES In short: “Time Out” is a first experiment with time, which may well come to be regarded as more than an arrow pointing to the future. Something great has been attempted… and achieved. The very first arrow has found its mark. – Steve Race, 19591 In 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet released Time Out on Columbia Records. Critics and media alike heralded the album as being innovative at the time of release and Time Out subsequently became the first jazz album to sell 500,000 copies.2 Brubeck himself would be strongly associated with the album’s singles “Take Five” – which was in fact written by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond – and “Blue Rondo à la Turk” for the duration of his career.3 As the leader and public face of the quartet, Brubeck’s compositions, and those by other members of the quartet such as Desmond, have often been conflated by the public as being solely Brubeck’s. Time Out’s success was attributed to Brubeck’s exploration of rhythm, specifically the use of uneven metres, polyrhythms and metric modulations, which were perceived as being unusual within the jazz idiom at the time of release.4 Yet upon investigating the historical development of these rhythmic devices within the jazz genre, primarily through listening to the discographies of various artists, it has become apparent that other jazz musicians were experimenting with rhythm in these ways before 1959.
