Se spolužáky jsme nazkoušeli a koncertně provedli několik jeho skladeb. Uvědomil jsem si, jak překvapivě působí aranžmá vyvolávající dojem mnohem většího hudebního tělesa než ve skutečnosti je, jak se ve skladbách prolíná vtip, vztek a další emoce. Všichni zúčastnění hudebníci hráli intuitivně s obrovskou energií, hudba si o ni sama řekla. Neobvyklé tóniny, formy a harmonie znemožnily hrát klišé, kombinace čistých zvuků a chaosu udržela neustálé napětí. „Černá“ emotivní hudba plná překvapení, experimentů. Obklopil jsem se hudbou Charlese Minguse, začal studovat jeho život. Někdy jsem po delším poslouchání měl pocit, že mě ten trvalý tlak, neustálé vrstvení hudebních informací a expresívní sóla přivedou k šílenství, nicméně po krátké odmlce jsem se zase na další dávku těšil. Mingusovy projekty byly vždy sestaveny z výjimečných, osobitých hudebníků. Někteří začali hrát s Mingusem jako velice mladí hráči, teprve na počátku své kariéry. Spolupracovali s ním potom řadu let, někteří takřka pořád (Dannie Richmond). Stali se z nich velice originální a respektovaní hudebníci. Charles Mingus byl velmi aktivní autor, po celý svůj život vydával obrovské množství alb. Na každém předvedl svůj autorský talent, hráčskou virtuozitu, jasný nekompromisní názor. V jeho bohaté diskografii jsou pouze dvě pauzy. První odmlkou byla stávka hudebníků 1942–1944. Druhá odmlka přišla po smrti saxofonisty a klarinetisty Erica Dolphyho v roce 1964, jednoho z jeho nejoriginálnějších spoluhráčů. Byla částečně způsobená i finanční krizí a trvala až do roku 1972, kdy vydává album Let My Children Hear Music. Zabývat se komplexně tvorbou Charlese Minguse přesahuje formát této práce. Vybral jsem si dvě raná alba z období 1956–1957, ve kterém už byl usazen Mingusův originální aranžérský rukopis a okruh dlouhodobě spolupracujících hudebníků - Pithecanthropus Erectus a The Clown. Dále se podrobněji zabývám živou nahrávkou Town Hall Concert z roku 1964, kdy dosáhl podle mě Mingus svého tvůrčího vrcholu. Opíral jsem se o publikaci Passions of a Man, která obsahuje řadu článků od hudebních publicistů věnujících se Mingusovi i texty lidí z okruhu vydavatelství 1 Atlantic, kteří se na nahrávkách nějakým způsobem podíleli. Součástí jsou kompletní dochované nahrávky u firmy Atlantic, včetně dosud nevydaných tracků. Ty jsou řazeny chronologicky bez ohledu na pořadí na vydaných albech. Dále jsem pracoval s knihou Charles Mingus – More Then Fakebook, která obsahuje transkripce některých Mingusových skladeb včetně stručných analýz. 2 Úvod Práce se zabývá komplikovanou osobností Charlese Minguse. Pokouším se v ní popsat různé jevy, které ovlivnily Mingusovu tvorbu – rodinné zázemí, hudební vzory, sociální prostředí. Snažím se vybrat zlomové okamžiky v bouřlivém Mingusově hudebním životě. Vybrané nahrávky z vrcholných období analyzuji včetně notových příkladů. Tyto příklady jsem přepisoval z nahrávek. Zabývám se také výběrem spoluhráčů, výrazných sólistů. Zmiňuji se stručně i o obdivuhodné technické výbavě Minguse jako kontrabasisty. Ovšem největší prostor věnuji Mingusovi jako skladateli a aranžérovi. 3 1 Život Charlese Minguse 1.1 Složitá osobnost Charlese Minguse Gene Santoro začíná svou podrobnou knihu o legendárním vášnivém basistovi Myself When I Am Real často uváděným popisem – tlustý, štětinatý, světlý černoch, který zastavil koncert kvůli cinkotu pokladny nebo když spoluhráči či publikum dělali něco,

  • Album Covers Through Jazz
    SantiagoAlbum LaRochelle Covers Through Jazz Album covers are an essential part to music as nowadays almost any project or single alike will be accompanied by album artwork or some form of artistic direction. This is the reality we live with in today’s digital age but in the age of vinyl this artwork held even more power as the consumer would not only own a physical copy of the music but a 12’’ x 12’’ print of the artwork as well. In the 40’s vinyl was sold in brown paper sleeves with the artists’ name printed in black type. The implementation of artwork on these vinyl encasings coincided with years of progress to be made in the genre as a whole, creating a marriage between the two mediums that is visible in the fact that many of the most acclaimed jazz albums are considered to have the greatest album covers visually as well. One is not responsible for the other but rather, they each amplify and highlight each other, both aspects playing a role in the artistic, musical, and historical success of the album. From Capitol Records’ first artistic director, Alex Steinweiss, and his predecessor S. Neil Fujita, to all artists to be recruited by Blue Note Records’ founder, Alfred Lion, these artists laid the groundwork for the role art plays in music today. Time Out Sadamitsu "S. Neil" Fujita Recorded June 1959 Columbia Records Born in Hawaii to japanese immigrants, Fujita began studying art Dave Brubeck- piano Paul Desmond- alto sax at an early age through his boarding school.

    Santa Clara University School of Law Center for Global Law and Policy 2015 Tokyo Summer Program At Asia Center of Japan, June 8 – June 12, 2015 Introduction to Japanese Law Professor Yasuhei TANIGUCHI, LL.M. Berkeley 1963 & J.S.D.Cornell, 1964 Prof. Em. of Kyoto University and Of Counsel, Matsuo & Kosugi, Tokyo This course follows the Prof. Abe’s course of the same title and tries to approach the Japanese legal system from a slightly different perspective. Emphasis will be on general subjects such as historical developments, constitutional schemes, judiciary and legal professions, dispute resolution, etc. rather than on specific topics of practical interest, which are to be dealt with in other courses. The instructor was born in 1934. His long personal experiences will be infused in the course hopefully to make the course historically interesting. A. Historical and Comparative Basis of Japanese Law It is important to understand the present Japanese law from a historical perspective. Japan experienced a radical legal reform at least twice in its modern history, firstly during Meiji period starting in 1868 under an influence of the European Civil Law and secondly after the defeat in the Pacific War under an influence of the American Common Law. The third wave of reform has visited Japan in the first decade of this century as the justice system reforms dealt with in C below. (1) Tokugawa Law (1603-1868) 1. John H.
