  • Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67
    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

  • SEED Ensemble & Guests: Celebrating the Music of Pharoah Sanders Live
    SEED Ensemble & guests: celebrating the music of Pharoah Sanders Live from the Barbican Start time: 8pm Approximate running time: 60 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change. This performance is subject to government guidelines. Arwa Haider examines SEED Ensemble’s influences and musical style. When London band SEED Ensemble emerged around four years ago, they were hailed as proof of thrilling new revolutions in the UK music scene, and among its jazz musicians – crucially repping its creative fluidity, and linking generations of inspiration across music and other art forms with 21st century youth culture. The talented instrumentalists in SEED Ensemble simultaneously play their parts in a range of other contemporary acts, and are led by composer, arranger and alto saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, also a key figure in the outfits Kokoroko and Nerija. The combination of these elements and visions yields a sound that is expansive, musically adventurous, and excitingly immediate. They earned a Mercury Prize nomination for their brilliant 2019 debut album Driftglass, released on the seminal Jazz re:freshed label, and taking its name from a novel by the Black American sci-fi novelist and queer theorist Samuel R Delaney. Its tracks are enriched with personal experience – in particular, pan-African and Caribbean roots – political references and pop cultural hooks, creating an exploration of the undeniable issues in modern British society, as well as a spirit-soaring celebration of Black British experience. SEED Ensemble offer a lucid heads-up, that jazz is essentially ‘a community genre for everyone’ (as Kinoshi remarked in a Jazzwise interview), and that this latest explosion is deep-rooted, including the disparity of Black voices, and the presence of strong female leaders and collaborators.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

The rhythm section was playing with a straight-ahead yet contemporary feel, while Sanders was seamlessly blending the avant-garde or free aesthetic and main- stream straight-ahead jazz, as well as the blues and R&B influences from early in his career.2 This band—and this period of Sanders’s career—have been largely neglected and Sanders himself has generally been poorly represented in the media.3 Sanders, as is true for many, many musicians, suffers from the fact that in critical discourses jazz styles often remain conceptualized as fitting into pre-conceived cat- egories such as straight-ahead, mainstream, and avant-garde or free jazz.

  • SELECTED SOLOS of CHARLIE HADEN: TRANSCRIPTIONS and ANALYSIS
    SELECTED SOLOS of CHARLIE HADEN: TRANSCRIPTIONS and ANALYSIS By JONATHAN ZWARTZ A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Music) August 2006 School of Music, Faculty of Arts, The Australian National University I hereby state that this thesis is entirely my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to sincerely thank the following people for their assistance in this folio.Mike Price, Nick Hoorweg, Jenny Lindsay, Dylan Cumow, Jane Lindsay, Peter Dasent, Sally Zwartz. Abstract Charlie Haden is a unique bassist in jazz today. He has an instantly identifiable sound, and broad stylistic taste in both the music that he records and the musicians he records with. The one constant throughout his recorded work is his own distinctive musical style. I was attracted to Charlie Haden’s playing because of his individual approach, particularly his soloing style on more traditional song forms as opposed to the freer jazz forms that he became famous for play ing and soloing on in the earlier part of his career. For the purpose of this analysis, I chose duet settings for the reason that duets are more intimate by nature and perhaps because of that, more revealing. Haden has a reputation for simplicity in his soloing. Indeed, he employs no great theatrical displays of technical virtuosity like other bass soloists. However, my analysis of Haden’s performances show that he is a master soloist in command of his instrument and the musical principles of harmony, melody and rhythm, all incorporated within the particular piece he’s soloing on, coupled with the uncanny ability to ‘tell a story’ when he solos.
