Heller, PhD Hybridity and Identity in the Pan-American Jazz Piano Tradition William D. Scott, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The term Latin jazz has often been employed by record labels, critics, and musicians alike to denote idioms ranging from Afro-Cuban music, to Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and more broadly to Latin American fusions with jazz. While many of these genres have coexisted under the Latin jazz heading in one manifestation or another, Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez uses the expression “Pan-American jazz” to account for both the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition and non-Cuban Latin American fusions with jazz. Throughout this dissertation, I unpack the notion of Pan-American jazz from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Latinx identity discourse, transcription and musical analysis, and hybridity theory.

  • Glen Gould Scriabin Prokofiev Sp Corner
    Scriabin Piano Sonata No.3 in F sharp minor, Op.23 Prokofiev Piano Sonata No.7 in B flat minor, Op.83 Glenn Gould (piano) Recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studio during July 1967 and January, February and June 1968 Producer: Andrew Kazdin Sound Engineers: Fred Plaut and Milton Cherin Speakers Corner 180gm LP: MS 7173 Performance: 3/4/5 Glen Gould isn’t usually associated with Russian music, so this Speakers Corner LP is an intriguing prospect. In both works Vladimir Horowitz (HMV LP and Original Jackets) has been used for comparison. The Drammatico first movement of Scriabin’s Third Sonata has an opening metronome marking of sixty four quarter notes; here Gould is suitably measured, which enables him to convey some of the mood of quiet melancholy that underpins the work, he uses old-school tempo and dynamic variation, rubato, discrete pedal control and will highlight an inner voice or rhythm. Given that in Bach and music of the Classical period Gould was often noted for his brisk tempi, it may come as a surprise to find that he ignores the last movements Presto con fuoco marking and underplays the difference between the Allegretto and Andante movements. Nevertheless this is a powerful - if somewhat emotionally detached - account of an under-rated masterwork Prokofiev’s Seventh is probably his best known sonata and again the word power best describes Gould’s approach to the work. He pounds out the opening theme, yet relaxes for the second thematic group, but then ruins everything with a loud, brutal account of the Andante caloroso slow movement; which is a pity, because his fast and furious boogie- woogie approach to the finale is compelling.

  • Ready for Anything
    Thomas Tyrrell (’67) always loved music. As a Northwestern Engineering student, he quickly fell into the 1960s music subculture on campus. Every Friday afternoon, he and his friends went to Chicago, first combing through the vinyl at Rose Records, then taking in a classical music concert at Orchestra Hall. He and seven roommates were even evicted during winter finals for playing music in their off-campus apartment. “We got into a thing with the owner downstairs that we shouldn’t play our records so loud,” he says. “My roommate was a bit of a hothead, so that night he put the stereo on the floor with the speakers face down and played the 1812 Overture. When we came back from class the next day, we had our eviction notice.” Quickly, Tyrrell moved to Sargent Hall. He has a prescient photo of himself there listening to his latest purchase—the CBS/Columbia Records LP of Pablo Casals and the Marlboro Festival Orchestra’s Six Brandenburg Concerti of Johann Sebastian Bach. “Little did I know that I would spend most of my career at CBS Records and its successor, Sony Music,” he says.
