September 2016, 22.35 - 24.00 Uhr (Erweiterungssendung) Redaktion: Beat Blaser Moderation: Annina Salis Es war eine kurze Karriere, die dem Saxophonisten Alber Ayler vergönnt war: 1962 stand er erstmals in einem Studio, 1970 wurde er leblos aus dem New Yorker East River gezogen. Dazwischen lagen rastlose acht Jahre, die bis heute nachhallen. Kein Exponent des Freejazz der 1960er-Jahre war so umstritten wie der Saxophonist Albert Ayler. Für die einen hatte seine Musik nichts mit Jazz zu tun, für die anderen war er der Verkünder eines neuen Zeitalters. Ein musikalischer Prediger war er in jedem Fall: Mit hymnischem Gestus, obertonreichem und expressivem Klang und frei fliessendem Rhythmus schrie er seine Botschaft in die Welt. «We play peace!», betonte er immer wieder, - wie das zu hören ist, diskutiert Annina Salis mit der deutschen Saxophonistin Silke Eberhard.

Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67
Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

The News Is Next | Publishing: Essay
The News Is Next “The times they are aaaa-chaaangin’.” But Bob Dylan never really said whether the changes were for better or for worse. Then again, when the song was written it was hard to tell, probably because it was neither or both. The sixties, chronologically near at hand but just distant enough to qualify as a chapter in history, have become the subject of both critical assessment and rampant nostalgia. Take as examples the wealth of Vietnam films produced a few years ago, Oliver Stone’s The Doors, and JFK, the Public Broadcasting System’s sober miniseries analyzing Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidential term, the recently released Forrest Gump, and the soon to be released Panther. These are all proof that the first media-saturated era is being resurrected. The sixties however, already understood itself largely through the televised image, and it is through these images, whether re-broadcast or incorporated into film, that the era is being re-presented. In short, the sixties is the first era whose historical events are able to be mediated almost entirely through television. But our historical perch is a privileged position. Footage used to revive the past is curated with historical and statistical hindsight. Events as reported at the time, particularly by way of nightly news broadcasts, lack a relationship to one another or a sense of causality to give them a broader context. As a series of media milestones, the sixties presented a genuine challenge to the nightly news broadcasts. The myriad sensational events required a style of reporting, which could comfortably modulate information regardless of content.

The Avant-Garde 15
CURRENT A HEAD ■ 407 ORNETTE COLEMAN lonely woman CECIL TAYLOR bulbs CECIL TAYLOR willisau concert, part 3 ALBERT AYLER ghosts DAVID MURRAY el matador THE AVANT-GARDE 15 Forward March T e word “avant-garde” originated in the French military to denote the advanced guard: troops sent ahead of the regular army to scout unknown territory. In English, the word was adapted to describe innovative composers, writers, painters, and other artists whose work was so pioneering that it was believed to be in the vanguard of contemporary thinking. Avant-gardism represented a movement to liberate artists from the restraints of tradition, and it often went hand-in-hand with progressive social thinking. T ose who championed avant-garde art tended to applaud social change. T ose who criticized it for rejecting prevailing standards couched their dismay in warnings against moral laxity or political anarchy. In the end, however, all art, traditional or avant-garde, must stand on its merit, inde- pendent of historic inﬂ uences. T e art that outrages one generation often becomes the tradition and homework assignments of the next: the paintings of Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso, music of Gustav Mahler and Claude Debussy, and writings of Marcel Proust and James Joyce were all initially considered avant-garde. Two especially promi- nent twentieth-century avant-garde movements gathered steam in the decades follow- ing the world wars, and jazz was vital to both. Sonny Rollins combined the harmonic progressions of bop with the freedom of the avant-garde and sustained an international following.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 © Copyright by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia by Alex Warner Rodriguez Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Steven J. Loza, Chair Drawing from anthropological fieldwork in three jazz clubs, this dissertation explores the global scale of contemporary jazz practice through an examination of the communities that sustain them in Los Angeles, California; Santiago, Chile; and Novosibirsk, Siberia. These spaces, which bear striking similarities to one another both in terms of architectural aesthetics and community practices despite the vast distance between them, are investigated as instantiations of jazz space informed by logics of jazz listening, and as sites of jazz practice—a process that I call jazz anthropology. It argues that to understand why jazz practices continue to manifest anywhere, we must understand what they mean to people elsewhere—that is, beyond the music’s geographical centers of production on the U.S. East Coast. By attending to these peripheries, we can hear the music as a manifestation of jazz consciousness, as tendrils of black radical modes of thinking transposed to far-flung geographies—even ones that very few black people inhabit. To situate these practices in a longer genealogical timespan, the dissertation also includes brief historical ii sketches of jazz practice in each of the three locations in 1917, 1959, and 1990, demonstrating the long local histories that inform the music in each locale.
