  • The Interstitial, Musical Authenticity, and Social Identity
    Hector N. Qirko* The Interstitial, Musical Authenticity, and Social Identity Resumen: Se exploran los procesos de autentificación musical examinando las reacciones de expertos de música y auditorios frente a la música de un grupo neoyorquino ‘intersticial’, es decir, entre diferentes géneros, “Los Cubanos Postizos”. Parece que cuestiones de autenticidad musical son de importancia para los críticos y el auditorio del grupo, al contrario de las expectativas basa- das en características del arte posmoderno, de la globalización social y de la constitución compleja del grupo mismo. De 54 comentarios examinados (im- presos, distribuidos por el Internet, o en entrevistas), 40 definen autenticidad por uno o más de los cuatro criterios siguientes: intención artística, característi- cas musicales técnicas, emoción musical y las credenciales de los artistas. Esto sugiere la continuidad de la relevancia de la autentificación para la formación y el mantenimiento de identidades de grupos en la sociedad contemporánea. Summary: This paper explores the process of musical authentication by examining the reactions of music experts and audiences to the music of an interstitial (inter-genre) New York group, “Los Cubanos Postizos”. Contrary to expectations based on characteristics of postmodern art, social globalization, and the complicated nature of the group itself, issues of musical authenticity appear to be important to the band’s reviewers and audience. Of 54 print, web, and interview commentaries examined, 40 address authenticity by means of one or more of the following four criteria: artistic intent, technical musical characteristics, musical emotion, and the credentials of the artists. This suggests the continuing relevance of authentication to the formation and maintenance of group identities in contemporary society.

  • John Zorn and the Construction of Jewish Identity Through Music
    HARVARD JUDAICA COLLECTION STUDENT RESEARCH PAPERS No.7 Studies in Jewish Musical Traditions Insights from the Harvard Collection of Judaica Sound Recordings Edited by Kay Kaufman Shelemay Professor of Music Harvard University '. HARVARD •COLLEGE LIBRARY Cambridge, Massachusetts 2001 Free Improvisation: John Zorn and the Construction of Jewish Identity through Music Michael Scott Cuthbert In early 1993, the Japanese record company Eva released a new disc of pieces by a composer best known for his work in free jazz, avant-garde "classical" music, and film scoring.! Taking its title from the night of violence against Jewish people, their businesses, and their property which occurred in Nazi Germany on November 9 and 10, 1938, Kristallnacht was John Zorn's first musical exploration of his Jewish heritage. After working with a group of musicians, most of whom he had little or no prior recorded collaboration with, Zorn built on the success of this project by turning in a new direction in his creative life. Quickly founding his own Hebrew-titled record company, encouraging other Jewish musicians to embrace their ethnic and religious heritage, and releasing in quick succession a CD series of Klezmer-flavored tunes, John Zorn's seemingly abrupt decision to visibly take up his cultural identity has gained him not only fans in the Jewish and free jazz worlds, but also critics and accusations of ethnic profiteering. This paper examines the underlying assumptions, aims, and methods for achieving these goals in Zorn's recent Jewish work through statements made by the composer, and reception by his fans and critics, but primarily through his recorded legacy.

  • 2008 TOP 10 Cds
    2008 TOP 10 CDs Tell us what you were listening to this past year! Hit that "reply to all" and let's have it! Again, these are the top 10 albums that I was listening to, not necessarily released in 2008, just what was the most influential, most-listened-to things in 2008: 1.) Pendulum: Mosaic Select: Pendulum: Live at the Village Vanguard This is a Mosaic Select 3-CD set chronicling a live set by Dave Liebman, Randy Brecker, Rich Beirach and a rhythm section in the ‘70’s. And no, they don’t make groups like this anymore. Stylistically all over the map and unapologetic about it. Grooving but abstract. Great stuff, and most of it totally unavailable until now. And while we’re at it…in the past two years I’ve been dealing in Mosaic jazz sets on eBay, making some decent bread and throwing the discs into my 160GB iPod as I sell them off. This label really is the best jazz label ever, if you don’t know about them, go to www.mosaicrecords.com and check them out. The big box sets that have really floored me include Wayne Shorter/ Lee Morgan, Herbie Nichols, Elvin Jones, and quite a few others; the smaller Mosaic Selects that are incredible include Grachan Moncur III, Don Pullen, and the Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band. Mosaic provides a way of making incredible jazz available without a big, “have to have a hit” release. My life is richer these days thanks to this label. 2.) Elvis Costello: Momofuku I saw Elvis this summer with the Police, and I would have gone home happy after his set.
