  • Biographies of Panelists Odean Pope Odean Pope Is a Prolific Composer
    Biographies of Panelists Odean Pope Odean Pope is a prolific composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and educator. His musical training and maturation began in Philadelphia, where he was among a remarkable group of young jazz innovators that included John Coltrane, Benny Golson, Jymie Merritt, Shirley Scott, Hasaan Ibn Ali, McCoy Tyner, the Heath Bros., among others. His distinctive voice on the tenor saxophone and composing aesthetic continually extend and refresh compositional and improvisational ideas/ approaches that draw on that fertile musical environment. His music resonates with his experience in the African American church and playing with noted R&B artists, and 22 years of playing tenor with drummer Max Roach. His compositional practice is also influenced by formal academic studies in woodwind technique, orchestration, modern harmony and arranging. Pope expresses his compositional prowess through various-sized ensembles—-trios, quartets, sextets, octets, and his saxophone choir composed of nine saxophones and a rhythm section. He continues to perform, lead workshops and give master classes. His extensive discography includes 22 recordings as leader, and an additional 2 dozen as a side man (including 9 with Max Roach) or collaborating/guest artist. In 2018 thru 2019, with support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, he led Sounds of the Circle, a multi- dimensional project that honored the collective genius among jazz innovators who lived and gigged in North Philadelphia in the 1950s-70s. Spring 2021 will bring the long-delayed release of Metaphysics, a 1965 recording Pope made with Hasaan Ibn Ali, a pianist whose creative genius is just reaching broad recognition. Among Pope’s numerous awards and recognitions are a Pew Fellowship in the Arts for Music Composition, and in 2017 the Mid-Atlantic Arts Living Legacy Jazz Award.

  • Plankning Och Transkribering
    FG1299 Självständigt arbete, grundnivå inom lärarprogram (musik som ämne 2), 15 hp Ämneslärarexamen med inriktning mot arbete i gymnasieskolan 2021 Institutionen för musik, pedagogik och samhälle (MPS) Handledare: Viveka Hellström Rasmus Tholin Plankning och transkribering Influenser för solospel på trumset ! Sammanfattning Att härma och hitta inspiration från förebilder har varit vardaglig praxis under jazzhistorien. Genom att appropriera (Säljö, 2014), lägger individer beslag på andra individers kunskap och omvandla det till egen kunskap. Senare i externaliseringen (Bruner, 2002) synliggörs kunskapen i handling. I denna studie har metoderna plankning och transkribering undersökts som verktyg för att utveckla eget solospel på trumspel. Genom att följa den egna läroprocessen undersöktes också hur man pedagogiskt kan använda plankning och transkribering som metod för att bidra till konstnärlig utveckling. Den musikgenre som behandlas i studien är jazz, där trumslagaren Max Roach solospel använts genom valda exempel. I resultatet presenteras en jämförelse av två egna trumsolon där ett spelades in i början och ett i slutet av studien. Läroprocessen i övningsrummet och under instrumentallektioner har dokumenteras med hjälp av loggbok. Resultatet visar att en del fraser har härmats exakt och en del har härmats rytmiskt men med en egen konstnärlig prägel. Vid en egen konstnärlig prägel av en exakt rytm har en antydan till ett mer självständigt solospel påträffats och plankning och transkribering har visat sig fungera som metod för att utveckla

  • Prophetics and Aesthetics of Muslim Jazz Musicians in 20Th Century America Parker Mcqueeney Committee: Marty Ehrlich and Carl Clements
    1 S ultans of Swing: Prophetics and Aesthetics of Muslim Jazz Musicians in 20th Century America Parker McQueeney Committee: Marty Ehrlich and Carl Clements 2 3 Table of Contents Introduction….4 West African Sufism in the Antebellum South….12 Developing Islamic Infrastructure….20 Bebop’s “Mohammedan Leanings”....23 Hard Bop Jihad….26 A Different Kind of Cat….37 Islam for the Soul of Jazz….41 Bibliography….51 4 Introduction The arrival of Christopher Columbus to the beaches of San Salvador did not only symbolize the New World’s first contact with white Christian Europeans- but black Muslims as well. Since 1492, Islam has been an essential, yet concealed presence in African diasporic identities. In the the continental US, Muslim slaves often held positions of power on plantations- and in several instances became leaders of revolts. Islam became a tool of resistance and resilience, and a way for a kidnapped people to preserve tradition, knowledge, and spirit. It should come as no surprise to learn that when Islam re-emerged in the African-American consciousness in the postbellum period 1, eventually in harmony with the Black Arts Movement, it not only retained these characteristics, but took on new meanings of prophetics, aesthetics, and resistance in cultural, spiritual, and political contexts. Even in the pre-9/11 dominant American narrative, images of Black Islam conjured up fearful and vague memories of the political and militant Nation of Islam of the 1960s. The popularity of Malcolm X’s autobiography brought this to the forefront of perceptions of Black Islam, and its place in the Black psyche was further cemented by Spike Lee’s 1992 film Malcolm X.

Well, here is a living proof to the contrary in human form, named Odean Pope, tenor saxophonist, bursting with creativity at the age of 73. Most recently, the Philadelphia icon impressed with an all-star band on the In & Out album, „Odean‘s List“. Two years later, he is committed to demonstrating his art in a concentrated trio setting: „Three“ comes as a multi-faceted work that reveals a fresh, almost youthful touch. Odean Pope‘s career touched many striking points of jazz history: In Philadelphia, he grew up in the jazz, gospel and R&B environment of the fifties. When John Coltrane moved to New York, he chose the young tenor player to be his successor in Jimmy Smith‘s group. Searching for his own characteristic sound, Pope studied wit the leader of the Philadelphia Orchestra‘s woodwind section, Ron Rubin, and received his degree in orchestration, modern harmony, African, bebop and arranging at the Paris Conservatory for Music.

  • Relationship
    RELATIONSHIP Relationship is ubiquitous. Good, bad or indifferent, it is the air we breathe, the sunshine we seek and the gravity that grounds us. The condition of being human requires relationship. Germaine says it is “a theme that is central to the motivation and structure for the entire project.” The CIRCLE of notable jazz greats in North Philadelphia that included Odean Pope and Reggie Workman, represented relationship at its best. It was a rarified group of highly self-disciplined and talented young men who were bound together by making music. It was Reggie being teased by Philly Joe Jones on the 23 trolley (Jones was the first black conductor) because his bass was without a case. It was Reggie driving his friends and their instruments to gigs in his father’s hearse. it was Odean practicing everyday with Hasaan Ibn Ali and Coltrane. It was Hasaan Ibn Ali, the brilliant iconoclastic piano player, cutting his tie short bucking a dress requirement and it is still Reggie and Odean reminiscing about those times. It is the reverence heard from Odean when he repeatedly refers to “ standing on shoulders.” In a circle of shared mutuality, the musical men influenced each other, many developing into great jazz masters. Some continue to perform and create into their eighties and nineties! The friendships remain golden. Jazz has always been interested in human relationships. Historically, black people subjected to slavery, torture, dislocation and motherless children were able to develop one body of music. Jazz is an amalgamation formed by vital human needs, coming from the requirements for survival; survival with dignity, survival with hope, survival with joy and survival with relationship! A People can draw strength from the enduring art that links them to their past.

As Music Editor for the Voice, he had come up with the Consumer Guide format back in 1969. His original format was twenty records, each accorded a single-paragraph review ending with a letter grade. His domain was rock and roll, but his taste and interests ranged widely, so his CGs regularly featured country, blues, folk, reggae, jazz, and later world (especially African), hip-hop, and electronica. Aside from two years off working for Newsday (when his Consumer Guide was published monthly in Creem), the Voice published his columns more-or-less monthly up to 2006, when new owners purged most of the Senior Editors. Since then he's continued writing in the format for a series of Webzines -- MSN Music, Medium,
