  • As One of Nola Blue Records' Newest Signings, Clarence Spady Is
    As one of Nola Blue Records’ newest signings, Clarence Spady is thoroughly motivated when it comes to his career. “Here we are in the saddle,” says the veteran blues guitarist. “I’ve got both hands on the reins right now. So I don’t plan on letting go.” Excellent news for contemporary blues fans who are well aware of Spady’s acclaimed 1996 album Nature of the Beast and his equally impressive 2008 followup Just Between Us. Clarence’s musical career has weathered its share of peaks and val- leys, but playing his singularly funky brand of impassioned, electrifying blues—a talent that has taken him all over the world—dominates his time these days as he writes great new material and prepares to record it. By any standard, Clarence embarked on his musical odyssey at an uncommonly tender age. Born in Paterson, New Jersey, Spady began playing guitar when he was only five years old (his family moved a couple of hours west to Scranton, PA during this period, a town Spady lives in today). Clarence’s musical exploits commenced due to encouragement from two guitarists in his immediate family, his father (also named Clarence) and his Uncle Fletchey. “He was a very good blues guitarist, the likes of Otis Rush or Booba Barnes,” Spady says of his uncle. “He had that nasty, raw feel. He was from North Carolina origi- nally. And he could sing. “When I was five, we were sitting at my Uncle Fletchey’s. He had a blues jam every weekend. And I would sit on my dad’s left knee while he was playing, looking at his hand.

  • Who Got Da Funk? an Etymophony of Funk from the 1950S to 1979
    i Université de Montréal Who Got Da Funk? An Etymophony of Funk music from the 1950s to 1979. par Robert Davis Faculté de musique Thèse présentée à la faculté des études supérieures eu vue de l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D) en Musicologie. Décembre 31, 2005. © Robert Davis, 2005 ii Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures Cette thèse intitulée : Who Got da Funk? An Etymphony of Funk from the 1950s to 1979 presénté par Robert Davis a été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes: …………………………………….………….. …………………………………….………….. …………………………………….………….. …………………………………….………….. Thése acceptée le: …………………………………………… i Abstract The codification of music into categories of style or genre is an activity that fans, musicians, journalists, producers and academics engage in on a daily basis. Over the years a significant body of literature has been created theorising genre formations. While we are able to identify, understand and problematize general terms such as rock, jazz, funk, disco and metal, there has been relatively little musicological discourse to investigate the musical basis for this vocabulary. The consequence of the lack of musicological discourse is that genre formations are often created around personality, politics, fashion or socio-cultural activity rather than the sonic experience. Existing musicological discourse on genre suggests a hierarchical approach has developed which privileges writing on jazz and rock leaving ‘minor’ genres such as funk relatively ignored. The aim of this thesis is to present an etymophony of funk which traces the development of the genre through an investigation of the sonic text. To facilitate the discussion I have created a conceptual framework for understanding the process of genre formation.
