    Contact: A Journal for Contemporary Music (1971-1988) http://contactjournal.gold.ac.uk Citation Reynolds, Lyndon. 1975. ‘Miles et Alia’. Contact, 11. pp. 23-26. ISSN 0308-5066. ! [I] LYNDON REYNOLDS Ill Miles et Alia The list of musicians who have played with Miles Davis since 1966 contains a remarkable number of big names, including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, Jack de Johnette, Dave Hol l and, John McLaughlin and Miroslav Vitous. All of these have worked success fully without Miles, and most have made a name for themselves whilst or since working with him. Who can say whether this is due to the limelight given them by playing alongside , Miles, the musical rewards of working with him, or Miles's talent-spotting abili- ties? Presumably the truth is a mixture of all these. What does Miles's music owe to the creative personalities of the musicians working with him? This question is unanswerable in practice, for one cannot quan- tify individual responsibility for a group product - assuming that is what Miles's music is. It is obvious that he has chosen very creative musicians with which to work, and yet there has often been an absence of conspicuous, individual, free solo playing in his music since about 1967. It would appear that Miles can absorb musical influences without losing his balance. What we find then, is a nexus of interacting musicians, centring on Miles; that is, musicians who not only play together in various other combinations, but influence each other as well. Even if the web could be disentangled (I know not how, save with a God's-eye-view), a systematic review of all the music that lies within it would be a task both vast and boring.

  • Kajikawa, Loren. 2015. Sounding Race in Rap Songs. Oak- Land: University of California Press
    Kajikawa, Loren. 2015. Sounding Race in Rap Songs. Oak- land: University of California Press. Reviewed by Tracy McMullen In 1991, Scott Deveaux warned that an “official history of jazz had taken hold,” aided and abetted by the work of academics. From a “chaotic di- versity of style and expression” came a “coherent whole, . a skillfully contrived and easily comprehended narrative” (525). Deveaux attributed this primarily to textbooks, which reinforced the narrative of neat stylistic decades (1920s New Orleans jazz, 1930s Swing, 1940s Bebop, etc.) and the institutionalization of jazz studies within colleges and universities. Because jazz was a relatively recent art form, Deveaux could watch the official his- tory develop and cohere before his eyes. Now it may be hip-hop’s turn. Like jazz, hip-hop is a new art form minted in the United States through the ex- pressive practices of African Americans. The rise of hip-hop has been con- current with the rise of ethnic studies departments and, more recently, the inclusion of popular music as a serious field of study in the academy. Thus, while jazz studies took decades to be accepted as a legitimate field within music departments, hip-hop studies is better positioned to find its way into a multitude of academic disciplines. It is important, therefore, to take les- sons from the development of jazz studies as the field of hip-hop studies takes shape. Is it possible for hip-hop studies to resist the model of “official history” with monograph-style counters from the margins (“women in hip-hop,” “Latinx in hip-hop”)? What would the field look like if scholars could collectively eschew the tendency to create a dominant narrative with its immutable “key elements,” masterpieces, and great innovators? Rather than center and margin, perhaps hip-hop as a field could choose flow as a model—an early example of which might be the foundational and help- fully plural text, The Hip-Hop Studies Reader (Forman and Neal 2012).

    UNDERSTANDING MILES DAVIS IN 9 PARTS by Greg Cwik and David Marchese ________________________________________________________ [*This article appeared in the September 21, 2015 issue of New York Magazine.] PHOTO CREDIT DAVID REDFERN/REDFERNS/GETTY IMAGES hen Miles Ahead, directed by and starring Don Cheadle, premieres at the New York Film Festival in October, 2015, it’ll mark the first time that the W jazz genius Miles Davis has been the subject of a non-documentary film. It wasn’t a lack of interest that has kept Davis from movie theaters till now. Nor was it lack of material: Davis, who died in 1991, lived a dynamic and controversial life, both personally and musically. (Multiple biopics wound up in development hell.) Cheadle’s film focuses on a period when the trumpeter was living in seclusion, so here’s a broader overview of one of American music’s true giants. 1. What to Know About His Sound ____________________________________________ Grammy-nominated trumpeter and jazz educator Jon Faddis explains: “The thing that is special about his sound is economy when he was improvising. Before Miles, most people thought of the trumpet as a very extroverted instrument. Miles was more introverted in his approach. He used a Harmon mute — it wasn’t really popular before he started to use it — and it’s a very beautiful sound. I also 1 Jon Faddis: one of the things that set Miles apart was his use of space, making the space a part of the music… think his minimal use of vibrato was a tremendous influence on instrumentalists. Recordings like Round Midnight, Someday My Prince Will Come, I Thought About You were ingenious.

The report can be viewed or downloaded at http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/issr/csup/index.php or http://www.uic.edu/cuppa/uicued ON THE CORNER: Day Labor in the United States Executive Summary This report profiles, for the first time, the national phenomenon of day labor in the United States. Men and women looking for employment in open-air markets by the side of the road, at busy intersections, in front of home improvement stores and in other public spaces are ubiquitous in cities across the nation. The circumstances that give rise to this labor market are complex and poorly understood. In this report, we analyze data from the National Day Labor Survey, the first systematic and scientific study of the day-labor sector and its workforce in the United States. This portrait of day labor in the United States is based on a national survey of 2,660 day laborers. These workers were randomly selected at 264 hiring sites in 139 municipalities in 20 states and the District of Columbia.

  • Functional Mobility of Community-Dwelling Older Persons: an Ethnographic Pre-Feasibility Study
    Functional Mobility of Community-Dwelling Older Persons: An Ethnographic Pre-Feasibility Study by Uirá Duarte Wisnesky A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Nursing University of Alberta © Uirá Duarte Wisnesky, 2019 Abstract The purpose of this pre-feasibility study was two-fold: first, to examine perceptions and experiences of mobility challenges in the urban Brazilian community-dwelling older persons; second, to examine study participants’ perceptions about a sit-to-stand activity. The method of exploration was qualitative focused ethnography. Convenience and purposive sampling were used to recruit 23 older persons living in Paquetá, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data was collected via observant participation and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis utilized qualitative content analysis to describe and interpret the phenomena under study. Findings revealed that perceptions of urban Brazilian community-dwelling older persons with mobility are culturally transmitted and influenced by the social, physical and health environments they are part. Older persons’ experiences with mobility challenges was an integral part of sense of self and strongly related to contextual factors. Accordingly, the experience of mobility challenged older persons with the sit- to-stand activity was dependent on their mobility expectations involving many factors that worked together to influence their activity beliefs and attitudes, preferences, behaviors, and cultural perceptions; however, the most noticeable shortcomings for participants’ engagement in the sit-to-stand activity emerged as gaps in their personal and intrapersonal needs. The recommendations generated from my findings call for the design of implementation strategies of the sit-to-stand intervention that are tailored to this particular population’s needs.

FROM BIRTH TO DEATH OF COOL by Brandon Theriault An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Lee Honors College of Western Michigan University April, 2009 INTRODUCTION "Miles Davis was a bad dude. He was one of the baddest men in jazz... baddest jazzman ever." -Alvin Jones. Who is Alvin Jones? Alvin Jones is the man I just met outside of the Bernhard Center on Western Michigan University's campus in Kalamzoo, MI. I have been laboring over my honors thesis for months now; I am approaching its completion and was at a loss for a way to start the piece. As Alvin Jones stumbled up to me panhandling for a cigarette I could not help but notice his physical similarity to Miles. He looked to be approaching 65, white whiskers sparsely covering his face and making appearances throughout his eyebrows. He was slender, taller than average, and had exaggerated facial features; large luminous eyes, long eyelashes and high cheekbones.

In its first year, 1909, the camp was simply an outing of a dozen or so students from Horace Mann School at Columbia Teacher’s College, who summered with the Farnsworths in Thetford. Farnsworth had been brought up in Turkey by his missionary father, and the camp always had a Turkish flavor. The Camp’s name, “Hanoum” is a Turkish word meaning “gracious lady”. Charles Farnsworth was known as “Chelebe” (Master) and Charlotte Farnsworth was affectionately known as “Madama” (Mistress). In subsequent years, the Camp expanded from its original location on Houghton Hill Road to the shores of Mud Pond (Lake Abenaki), and formalized its offerings to an eight-week program that included nature study, swimming, canoeing and water safety, crafts, and hiking. Music also played a large role in camp life, and Camp Hanoum was known locally as “the singing camp”, with instructors and professional musicians who summered in Thetford and taught at the Camp.

  • West Palm Beach by DORA DOSTER UTZ*
    West Palm Beach by DORA DOSTER UTZ* It was not long after this that Papa decided to move down to West Palm Beach which he did, and again set up his merchandising business. This lovely resort town was just eighteen miles south of Jupiter. He built a comfortable two-story house on a big lot with a picket fence around it and a gate to swing on. Since all the streets were named for tropical plants and were laid out alphabetically, we were just one block from his store on Datura Street, whereas his store was on Clematis Avenue, the main street. In fact, he could step out the back door of our home, walk through a vacant lot, and reach his store in a few minutes. We occupied this home about a year and Papa had such a profitable offer to sell it that he sold and built another two-story home on Evernia Street another block away. Again he was offered a price for the house which he felt he could not afford to turn down, so that house was sold also. Then Papa brought the house we had owned and lived in on the shell mound at Jupiter, and another house he owned in Jupiter, on big lighters to West Palm Beach and deposited them on a half block lot he owned there. This lot was on the corner of Fern and Poinsettia Streets. We rented out one house, and the other one in which we had lived in Jupiter he placed on the corner and built an addition to it.
