I told him that my music teacher Eugene Steiker was the 8/7 – Sera Cahoone and Chris Pureka most important teacher in my life and he told me of his (recorded 12-6-12) teachers who were incredibly patient with him. That really made me think of just how anyone who had a 8/14 – Dancing on The Air clear genius on his or her hands must feel, as in “I better not blow this.” 8/21 – Who Are You (recorded 10-13-12) I’ve always loved the Joshua Bell story of how he was put in a Washington D.C. subway station and how few 8/28 – Ellis Paul (recorded 3/3/13) people paid attention. So I asked Yo Yo whether he had David Wax Museum (recorded 9/19/12) ever wanted to do the same thing. He said that he had always wanted to do it and then confessed that on two occasions he had a chance to see how it worked. He For details on upcoming concerts, films and events used the term “busker.” The first was when he was at The Linda, tickets, parking information and performing at the church in which Bach worked and directions, visit www.TheLinda.org played. He was to perform that night but he needed to test out the acoustics so the church led him to the podium where he would play for just a few minutes.

He was surprised when he Alan Chartock – President and CEO heard a clink in his open cello case and realized that people were putting coins in, thinking that was how he Dona Frank-Federico– Chief of Staff made his living. The second time he tried it he did it in Selma Kaplan – Senior Vice President Times Square and I think he said that he collected a dollar sixty seven. Some of the musicians I have Pat Cooney – Vice President, Operations interviewed at Tanglewood, the greats and the near greats, would never have told that kind of self Joe Donahue – Vice President, News/Programming deprecating story about themselves, but the Management Staff unforgettable Yo Yo does. Meegan Finnegan – Membership Director He also did something else for me. He told me that he and his family listen to WAMC in every room in his Mary Jackson – Business Manager house: bedroom, bathroom and kitchen among others. Ian Pickus – News Director You know, I was taken back to earlier in our conversation when he said that a great teacher inspires Katie Britton – Programming & Outreach Director self confidence in his students. When Yo Yo said nice Ray Graf – New Media Director things about the station, and even about me, I felt it was one of the most charitable of gifts. He was doing for us Marian Wise – Grants Director at the station what had been done by his teachers for Stacey Rosenberry – Engineering/Operations Manager him. It really makes a difference when one of the greatest men in the world reinforces what we’ve all Graeme McKenna – General Manager, The Linda, been trying to do here. In fact, I can’t think of a greater WAMC’s Performing Arts Studio gift. As he spoke of his love of Tanglewood and the Peter Koniuto – Fund Drive Manager Berkshires I thanked my lucky stars that all of us have either, by design or just plain luck, got plunked down Stefanie Abel – Marketing /Underwriting Manager where we are.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • The Voices of NPR
    Episode 11 – Michael Goldfarb – All Along the Watchtower The Voices of NPR And now a personal word, Michael Goldfarb has the voice of a journalist who has witnessed important events. He speaks with weariness and authority. His voice evokes a chorus of NPR announcers who report from near and distant places. Writer Dierdre Mask noted in an article in the Atlantic magazine, “We can’t see NPR reporters, so we have to picture them. And because they are with us in our most private moments—alone in the car, half-asleep in bed—we start to think we know them.” And we do think we know them. Their voices are iconic: distinct, informative, comforting, familiar. Their voices are the sounds of our better selves when we are bright and learned and engaged in the affairs of the world. No matter the day’s events, they give us hope that in a crazy world, sense and sensibility will prevail. Here are a few names I grew up with: Susan Stamberg, Bob Edwards, Carl Kasell, Noah Adams, Linda Wertheimer, Robert Siegel, Scott Simon, Cokie Roberts, and Bob Mondello. Each name evokes a voice, a style, a beat, that is the news soundtrack of our lives and shared imagination. We hear their stories as they report from bureaus from foreign capitals: Eleanor Beardsley, Paris; Rob Gifford, London; Ofiebea Quist-Arcton, Dakar; and, of course, Sylvia Poggioli, Rome. We hear war correspondents in the thick of battle: Michael Golfarb in Northern Ireland and Bosnia; Kelly McEvers in the midst of death and kidnapping in the Arab Spring, Tom Bowman among the fire and mortars of Helmand Province, and David Gilkey ambushed and killed by the Taliban.
