Sound panorama is not The bass is shifted to the center, this was done for Portraits in Jazz: A Piano Album reissue. BUT sounds really great. Much better than OJC '83 edition. Great sounding press. Very nice music to just sit back and relax to. Just received this today. Pick this up and enjoy. Is this AAA? Anyone know? Any info would be helpful! I have this, sounds great on my system. It may not sound as good as the remaster, but it costs a fraction of the price, so if you're in the market for an affordable copy, this is great. The distortion on the piano highs is on the master tape as well, it's due to mic overloading during initial recording. Written-By — Cole Porter. Riverside Records.

THE MODALITY OF MILES DAVIS AND JOHN COLTRANE14 ■ THE SORCERER: MILES DAVIS (1926–1991) We have encountered Miles Davis in earlier chapters, and will again in later ones. No one looms larger in the postwar era, in part because no one had a greater capacity for change. Davis was no chameleon, adapting himself to the latest trends. His innovations, signaling what he called “new directions,” changed the ground rules of jazz at least fi ve times in the years of his greatest impact, 1949–69. ■ In 1949–50, Davis’s “birth of the cool” sessions (see Chapter 12) helped to focus the attentions of a young generation of musicians looking beyond bebop, and launched the cool jazz movement. ■ In 1954, his recording of “Walkin’” acted as an antidote to cool jazz’s increasing deli- cacy and reliance on classical music, and provided an impetus for the development of hard bop. ■ From 1957 to 1960, Davis’s three major collaborations with Gil Evans enlarged the scope of jazz composition, big-band music, and recording projects, projecting a deep, meditative mood that was new in jazz.

  • 1959 Jazz: a Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959
    GELB, GREGG, DMA. 1959 Jazz: A Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 69 pp. Towards the end of the 1950s, about halfway through its nearly 100-year history, jazz evolution and innovation increased at a faster pace than ever before. By 1959, it was evident that two major innovative styles and many sub-styles of the major previous styles had recently emerged. Additionally, all earlier practices were in use, making a total of at least ten actively played styles in 1959. It would no longer be possible to denote a jazz era by saying one style dominated, such as it had during the 1930s’ Swing Era. This convergence of styles is fascinating, but, considering that many of the recordings of that year represent some of the best work of many of the most famous jazz artists of all time, it makes 1959 even more significant. There has been a marked decrease in the jazz industry and in stylistic evolution since 1959, which emphasizes 1959’s importance in jazz history. Many jazz listeners, including myself up until recently, have always thought the modal style, from the famous 1959 Miles Davis recording, Kind of Blue, dominated the late 1950s. However, a few of the other great and stylistically diverse recordings from 1959 were John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, and Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, which included the very well- known jazz standard Take Five. My research has found many more 1959 recordings of equally unique artistic achievement.

  • 1959: the Greatest Year in Jazz Instructor: Jeff Denson OLLI
    1959: The Greatest Year in Jazz Instructor: Jeff Denson OLLI Summer 2018 This four week course will examine six of the most significant jazz alBums recorded in the pivotal year of 1959, arguaBly some of the top jazz recordings of all time: Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue,” Dave BruBeck’s “Time Out,” Charles Mingus’ “Ah Um,” Bill Evans’ “Portrait in Jazz,” John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” and Ornette Coleman’s “The Shape of Jazz to Come.” These six master recordings display a wide variety in musical styles and esthetic experimentation and forecast the ever-expanding definition of what jazz is to this day. From the modal, melody-focused style of Miles Davis' “Kind of Blue;” to the vast harmonic exploration and dazzling displays of virtuosity found in John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps;” to the gospel and Blues soaked “Ah Um” By one of jazz’s greatest bassists and composers, Charles Mingus; to the odd meters and Eastern European influences of Dave BruBeck’s “Time Out;” to the new heights of trio interaction and improvised counterpoint of Bill Evans’ “Portrait in Jazz;” to the questioning of what “freedom” in music means in the explorations of Ornette Coleman’s “The Shape of Jazz to Come,” the world of music would never Be the same! This course will include a great deal of listening and explanation of musical devices, concepts and approaches by the instructor as well as live performances By the instructor and other expert visiting jazz musicians.

  • Bill Evans Ebooklet
    After his brilliant young bassist Scott LaFaro died in an automobile crash in July 1961, Bill Evans lapsed into melancholia, with all of its forebodings, gloom and How My Heart Sings lassitude. His trio with LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian had accomplished what Evans imagined for years before he encountered LaFaro. The following conversation is included in a CD of impromptu mid-1950s performances with his friend the multi- instrumentalist Don Elliott (Tenderly, An Informal Session—Milestone). The two had just finished a spontaneous duet in which they achieved swing without establishing an obvious beat. 1. How My Heart Sings 4:59 7.

  • Riverside Label Discography
    Discography of the Riverside Label The Riverside label was established in 1953 by traditional jazz enthusiasts Bill Grauer and Orrin Keepnews in New York City. Originally Grauer and Keepnews intended to reissue classic jazz that they purchased from long defunct labels. Later the label recorded jazz, folk, comedy, spoken word, sound effects, children’s and gospel. Shortly after starting the Riverside label, Grauer went to Richmond Indiana, to see Harry Gennett Jr. to try to purchase the recordings of the Gennett label. The Gennett Record label was formed in 1918 as a division of the Starr Piano Company in Richmond Indiana. In the early 20’s, the label started recording the early jazz bands that were performing in Chicago. Gennett made the first recordings of Ferd “Jellyroll” Morton, King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band with Louis Armstrong and the Wolverines with Bix Beiderecke. The first recording of “Stardust” was made by its author Hoagy Carmichael in the Gennett Richmond studio The Gennett label had ceased operation in 1932, but many of the historic metal recording plates were still stored in Richmond. Grauer was able to purchase all of the remaining plates for $2000. Grauer began a massive reissue campaign, releasing much of the Gennett material on long playing albums for the first time. Later, Grauer obtained masters from other early jazz and blues labels, including Paramount, Circle, and QRS, and reissued that material. Although the early catalog of Riverside releases contained mostly purchased material, Riverside started recording jazz sessions on its own, including Thelonious Monk, Randy Weston, Wes Montgomery and Cannonball Adderley.

  • Jazz Eighth-Notes As Expressive Microrhythm
    VOL. 50, NO. 1 ETHNOMUSICOLOGY WINTER 2006 Slicing the Beat: Jazz Eighth-Notes as Expressive Microrhythm FERNANDO BENADON / American University ntil recently, jazz theorists have directed most of their analytical efforts to U unscrambling aspects of pitch rather than time, mimicking the analysis of “art” music. The perceptual limitations involved in extracting and char- acterizing essential rhythmic nuances, as well as the limitations of standard music notation to convey these, have tended to deter rigorous study of the microrhythmic features of jazz performance. In pitch-oriented studies, tempo- ral aspects have generally been neglected in favor of scalar- and harmonic-re- lated topics (e.g., Cogswell 1994; Hermann 2004; Johnson-Laird 2002; Kenny 1999; Larson 2002; Steedman 1984; Toiviainen 1995; Tymoczko 1997). A few other studies have addressed the interaction between the pitch and time domains, although issues of microrhythm are left largely unexplored (e.g., Berliner 1994; Haywood 1994; Järvinen 1995). An important (and pioneering) exception is that of Pressing (1987), who recorded himself performing two free jazz improvisations and used a computer to extract timing, dynamics, and “legatoness” information. He found that some of the microrhythmic mechanisms sometimes interacted with melody and phrase structure. Microrhythms in jazz have begun to receive increasing attention from jazz scholars over the last decade, partly as a result of the widespread avail- ability of inexpensive and easy to use sound-editing software, and partly as a result of a collective need to catch up with an already advanced pitch-based analytical tradition. However, just as most research on jazz theory has shown a unilateral preference for pitch-related topics, the growing body of work devoted to microrhythm in jazz risks neglecting the interaction between the pitch and time domains.
