  • Adult Fall Classes 2021 Catalog
    COMMUNITY EDUCATION Lexington AUTUMN 2021 hanks primarily to our amazing teachers and students, we recently completed a successful return to some in-person summer learning at our Lexplorations children’s program. To be able to witness and hear the Tchildren enjoying their days through learning and play was tremendously hopeful. That’s not to say that in-person programming during a pandemic wasn’t extra challenging. On many days, upon being the last staff person to leave the Estabrook School (besides the custodian), I would step a few paces into the woods behind the school and onto the Lexington Conservation Land Paint Mine Trail. A few steps onto the trail, I entered an almost magical, foreign, yet very familiar world, seemingly right out of the old myths and storybooks. As if entering an enchanted space through a hidden portal in a hedgerow, school sounds were replaced by the sound of the breeze through the trees. Linear school hallways and stairs were replaced by a winding dirt path descending toward small still ponds and the old ochre paint mine. Looking at the forest floor and the tall trees, there was the realization that season after season, all things in nature disintegrate and are reformed in new and different ways. I think our autumn cover art resonates with that awareness. Similarly, our aim in this catalog is to present you with educational and community offerings to inspire stepping into new connections and perspectives through both in-person and online classes and events. As a self-supporting program of the Lexington Public Schools we sincerely thank you for your continued participation and support, season after season.

  • THE SHARED INFLUENCES and CHARACTERISTICS of JAZZ FUSION and PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014
    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

  • For Immediate Release
    For Immediate Release Pioneer Announces End of LaserDisc Player Products January 14, 2009, Tokyo, Japan - Pioneer Corporation today announces that it will cease to manufacture its LaserDisc (LD) players upon completing the production of a total of approximately 3,000 more players. In 1980, Pioneer introduced its first consumer LD player (VP-1000) in the U.S. market, followed by the Japanese market in 1981 and other markets accordingly. The company has seen worldwide sales of its LD players reach more than 9.5 million units to date in a market that saw worldwide sales top 16.8 million devices. It has contributed to the audiovisual enjoyment of so many consumers all over the world. However, under the market environment in which new media such as DVD and Blu-ray discs now dominate, it has become difficult for Pioneer to procure the parts required to produce LD players. Consequently Pioneer has been forced to terminate production of its LD products. The final models produced by Pioneer are the DVL-919 (DVD/LD compatible player), CLD-R5 (LD/CD player), DVK-900 (DVD/LD karaoke system), and DVL-K88 (DVD/LD compatible karaoke player). As for repair services, Pioneer will maintain the spare parts required to restore the normal functions of Pioneer LD players during the minimum storage period. About Pioneer: Pioneer Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, is a leading global manufacturer of consumer- and business-use electronics products such as audio, video and car electronics. Its shares are traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. # # # For further information, please contact: Public Relations Pioneer Corporation, Tokyo, Japan Phone: +81-3-3495-9885 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://pioneer.jp/e/ .

  • Annual Jim Pepper Native Arts Festival August 7-10, 2013 Parkrose HS Performing Arts Center, Portland, Oregon
    1st annual Jim Pepper Native Arts Festival August 7-10, 2013 Parkrose HS Performing Arts Center, Portland, Oregon The Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission (OCHC) and many partners are working hard to create an important cultural and educational institution – the Jim Pepper Native Arts Festival. OCHC first recognized the accomplishments of Jim Pepper (Creek/Kaw) in 2005, as co-sponsor of a series of events celebrating Jim’s legacy. The same year the Oregon Legislative Assembly honored his life and achievements in Senate Joint Resolution 31. It reads in part: “Whereas the 2005 Portland Jazz Festival paid tribute to the musical legacy of Jim Pepper, a true son of Oregon, with a concert dedicated to the late Native American saxophonist and jazz legend; “… Jim Pepper, born to Gilbert and Floy Pepper in Salem on June 18, 1941, blazed a unique trail across the musical horizon with his innovative synthesis of Native American song, the harmonic structures of modern jazz, and the rhythms of Africa, South America and the Caribbean.” Join musicians and Jim Pepper enthusiasts coming from near and far to Portland this August in remembrance of his legacy in the Parkrose neighborhood where he first picked up a saxophone. We are staging the historic reunion concert of the original The Free Spirits, the first jazz-rock fusion band in music history. It features legendary guitarist Larry Coryell, drummer Rakalam Bob Moses, bassist Chris Hills, guitarist Columbus Chip Baker, and special guest artists to be named. Who will take the Jim Pepper chair in this band? Don’t miss this show.
