  • Part 2 of Selected Discography
    Part 2 of Selected Discography Milt Hinton Solos Compiled by Ed Berger (1949-2017) - Librarian, journalist, music producer, photographer, historian, and former Associate Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. This is a chronological list of representative solos by Hinton as a sideman in a variety of settings throughout his career. Although not definitive, Milt was such a consistent soloist that one could cite many other equally accomplished performances. In some cases, particularly from the 1930s when bass solos were relatively rare, the recordings listed contain prominent bass accompaniment.

I know that music made a tremendous difference in the anti- war movement of the 60s as well as the civil rights movement. Music is a powerful force that is often unrecognized. A song has a way of inspiring folks that nothing else comes even close to. We are in need of inspiring songs. One of the roles of a songwriter is not only to reflect on what is happening in the present but also to provide a vision of the future. What is your vision of the future? For some it is nihilistic bleakness – a very cynical response to our world. For others, it is filled with hope – we are somehow going to be able to figure out how we can live together and with all of creation. If you are a performer, I want to challenge you to get out of yourself and add songs that reflect your vision of the future to your repertoire.

    UC Irvine UC Irvine Previously Published Works Title Bringing jazz back to its roots: Urban students explore their musical heritage Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9fk9x1sc Journal Teaching Artist Journal, 4(1) Author Brouillette, LR Publication Date 2006 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Bringing Jazz Back to Its Roots: Urban Students Explore their Musical Heritage1 Liane Brouillette University of California, Irvine This article looks at an inner-city playwriting project that brought professional writers and artists into inner city classrooms to help students explore the cultural history of their community and begin to find their own voices as writers. Scholars have argued that artistic voice is deeply rooted in one's past experiences, so that development of one’s voice as an artist becomes an ongoing process that involves the discovering and sharing of personal and cultural history (Fine, 1987; Giroux, 1988; Walsh 1991). In addition, research concerning the effect of arts education on academic achievement has repeatedly shown that classroom drama enhances verbal achievement in other areas (Hetland & Winner, 2004). Since initiating drama activities can be daunting for inexperienced teachers, this is also an area where a pivotal contribution can be made by professional artists and writers working in K-12 classrooms. Bringing Artists and Writers into Public Schools My first involvement with teaching artists came while I was spending a postdoctoral year with Writers In The Schools (WITS) in Houston, Texas.
