Shanghai is, of course, the home of Jazz in China - a position solidified back in the heyday of the 1930's when the music was the backdrop to a colorful world of gangsters, dance halls, exotic ladies, and an international cast of characters that inspired Hollywood movies, as well as a whole new style of music known as "Shanghai Jazz." The key players at that time came from the United States, Europe, Philippines and of course China, itself. And just as the music always has done everywhere it reached, Jazz picked up distinctly new sounds and influences once it hit Shanghai, including Jazzed-up versions of Chinese pop tunes and sultry vocals sung in the Shanghainese dialect. All of that came to a rather abrupt end with the onset of World War II and the ensuing Cultural Revolution, as once opulent dance halls were shuttered and the music was music festival of any kind in Shanghai. Each year, it "I'm really happy to be hosting this event at Shanghai officially banned. But in the 1990's, the sounds of Jazz continues to grow and expand, drawing bigger names and Centre," Ren adds. "It's the perfect venue for this once again began stirring in Shanghai at legendary spots audiences.

    The Politics Underlying the Art Movements in China During two key Ten-year Periods: {1945-1955 Liberation} and {1985-1995 Opening} by David Harrison O'Dell [email protected] www.texasdavid.com/export/index.html Under the mentorship of Dr. Janice Leoshko The University of Texas at Austin, Department of Asian Studies Research term: Beijing, CHINA 1995-1997 Written term: Beijing, CHINA 1996-1997 Added revisions / pictures: 2000 to present (Xiao Guo Fu, Morgan) 1 Politics behind the Arts in China – David O’Dell This thesis is divided into two chronological parts that I chose as representing modern Chinese art at its most vibrant. I state now that I don't see the Cultural Revolution as containing much positive influence at all; therefore I saddle my research periods before and after it. In my opinion it seems that more people find the Cultural Revolution, a period of warped societal possession, strikingly interesting, I however do not. I personally find the Liberation period of the 1940's-the spirit that drove a burgeoning young Communist party to fight for China's independence-contrasted with the New Reform period of the 1980's-the time in which the battle for artistic independence is waged while new technologies and new ideas are assimilated into everyday life-to be incredibly insightful and ripe with valuable lessons for tomorrow's China. Part One takes the Chinese art world of the Liberation period, art being a normally "qualitative" entity, and describes it "quantitatively" through the policies issued by the CCP that steered art's path during the years preceding and following Liberation.

    Jazz in Beijing Royal Hartigan I Received an Invitation from the Beijing

    Jazz In Beijing royal hartigan I received an invitation from the Beijing MIDI Contemporary Music School to perform in their 2004 Music Festival on May 1-3. You can imagine how excited I and the members of my ensemble were. Even though I visited the school in 1999 and 2001 during the summer vacation, this time I hoped to not only witness the bustling activities of the music festival hosted by the school but also experience the close interactions among students, faculty, staff, and our ensemble members during our two-week residency from April 27 to May 10. After considerable planning with the MIDI School’s director, Mr. Zhang Fan, the four members of my group were able to arrive in Beijing from different cities and were met by representatives of the school. Ethnomusicologist Weihua Zhang also joined our residency as an assistant and interpreter. I had previously given a workshop in August 1999 on African rhythms for drumset at the school when it was located at Shangti, a northern suburb of Beijing. The students and faculty were very receptive at that time and were interested in my subsequent return to their community. In July 2001 I returned with saxophonist David Bindman and contrabassist Wes Brown, performing in the Beijing area, and we visited the school for an open rehearsal in its new campus near the Fragrant Mountain. It was there that we met Liu Xiaoguang, a composer, saxophonist, and pianist. Mr. Zhang Fan had arranged for Liu to join our ensemble for some of our performances. The Ensemble In our recent visit from April 27 to May 10, 2004, we had a very strong ensemble.

Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.

'Jazz is, saying, I dare you' added Wayne Shorter, arguably the most creative composer and saxophone player around, and quoted another great saxophonist, Sonny Rollins who, when once asked 'why do you play jazz', responded: 'We do not play jazz to be f amous or to be a master of the instrument, but to be more human.' Jarreau, Shorter and many other jazz virtuosos -- Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, John McLaughlin, Robert Glasper, Lee Ritenour, Terence Blanchard etc -- were assembled today, April 29, in Istanbul's f amous Topkapi Palace Gardens to announce the most anticipated global musical event of the year. When I met Herbie Hancock on Saturday, the 'something extra' in his usual, joyous mood was impossible not to notice. It was on his personal initiative that UNESCO two years ago declared April 30 as the International Jazz Day, to be hosted by the cities as we all know as 'global hubs of jazz'. For us all who have remained f ully aware that this revered art f orm was one of the greatest gif ts, wonderf ul heritages of the past century, UNESCO's was a call f elt long overdue. So each year, in April 30, we shall have, as the call goes, a great occasion 'to promote peace, dialogue among cultures, diversity, and respect f or human rights and human dignity, eradicating discrimination, promoting f reedom of expression, f ostering gender equality, and reinf orcing the role of youth f or social change.' Last year, UNESCO and the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz -- of which Hancock is the chairman -- organized the f irst one.
