    BROADWAY CHRISTIAN CHURCH • COLUMBIA, MISSOURI THE WORSHIP OF GOD • APRIL 18, 2021 The Scripture Psalm 4 Answer me when I call, O God of my right! You gave me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer. How long, you people, shall my honor suffer shame? How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? Selah But know that the LORD has set apart the faithful for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him. When you are disturbed, do not sin; ponder it on your beds, and be silent. Selah Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. There are many who say, “O that we might see some good! Let the light of your face shine on us, O LORD!” You have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and wine abound. I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O LORD, make me lie down in safety. The Message What the World Needs Clear Minds Mark Briley Jack Handey was a comedian and writer for Saturday Night Live for a number of years. He is most known for a segment of short quips that would appear on the show just before going to commercial break. You’d hear the voiceover coming as a scene of a 1 gentle stream flowed through a meadow or something like that. The voice would say, “And now, deep thoughts, by Jack Handey.”1 They would be random like, “Do you know what happens when you slice a golf ball in half? Someone gets mad at you.

  • John Eckert Musician

    John Eckert Musician

    John Eckert Musician John Eckert is one of the busiest freelance trumpet players on the East Coast. He can play it all: jazz, latin, pop, classical, even opera. John juggles his engagements, often working one or two recording or rehearsal sessions during a day followed by a bebop big-band gig or an evening at the Carlyle with Bobby Short later that same night. John has played on concert stages worldwide as well as in orchestra pits of operas and Broadway shows. He is equally comfortable in the lead trumpet chair of a big band or small jazz ensemble, and enjoys playing all types of music with all kinds of musicians. "The variety just presents itself," says John, explaining how he can play Benny Goodman or Stan Kenton arrangements one day, then work with the Simon & Garfunkle Reunion Band, the Smithsonian Jazz Orchestra, Deodato's 2001 Orchestra, or the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra the next. "1 remember liking music at an early age, maybe 3 or 4," John recalls. A child ofthe 1940s, he grew up in New Jersey. "We had a piano and my mother played a little, but I was always whistling and singing songs 1 heard on the radio." At the age often John began studying trumpet and playing in the grade school band. A few years later when his sister, influenced by her trumpet-playing boyfriend, began bringing home jazz records, the sounds ofChet Baker, Shorty Rogers, and other proponents of the West Coast jazz sound caught his attention. By his second year in high school, he and some friends had formed a small jazz ensemble and began playing weddings and other parties.
  • Making America's Music: Jazz History and the Jazz Preservation

    Making America's Music: Jazz History and the Jazz Preservation

    Making America’s Music: Jazz History and the Jazz Preservation Act Jeff Farley Department of American Studies University of Glasgow A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2, 2008 c Jeff Farley 2008 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate some significant examples of the process by which jazz has been shaped by the music industry and government and their ideas of the place of jazz within American culture and society. The examples demonstrate that the history and traditions of jazz are not fixed entities, but rather constructions used to understand and utilise issues of race, national identity, cultural value, and musical authenticity and innovation. Engagement with such issues has been central to identifying jazz as America’s music, as it earned this status from its worldwide popularity and its identity as an inno- vative black American art form. Recognition for jazz as American music, in conjunction with its improvisational nature, consequently led to the identification of jazz as ‘demo- cratic’ music through its role in racial integration in America and in its representation of American democracy in government propaganda programmes. The different histories of jazz and its status as democratic, American music have all been especially important to the development of House Concurrent Resolution 57 in 1987, referred to as the Jazz Preservation Act (JPA). Authored by Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, the JPA defined jazz as a ‘national treasure’ that deserved public support and inclusion in the education system. Few in the industry have criticised the recognition and public subsidy of jazz, but many have found fault with the JPA’s definitions of jazz and its history that have dictated this support.
