It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland?

  • Conducted Improvisation
    EXAMENSARBETE 15hp Vårterminen 2015 Lärarutbildningen i musik Handledare: Stefan Östersjö Conducted Improvisation A study of the effect of the concept of signs on musical creativity Nana Pi Aabo Larsen 1 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis Conducted Improvisation is to study how a musical sign language can effect creativity, musical interaction and sense of freedom in ensemble playing by analyzing Extemporize, a sign system I have developed, with the further goal to explore the pedagogical potential in this practice. The research questions that drive this study are: In what ways does the sign system effect creativity and playfulness in improvised performance? In what ways does the sign system affect the sense of freedom in ensemble performance? In what ways does the sign system effect musical interaction? The material for the survey has been acquired through video documentation of rehearsals and concerts and interviews with the participants. 15 musicians took part in this study whereof 10 of them were interviewed. The results of the study indicate that sign language is effective in working with improvisation in ensemble and can have an impact on both freedom and constraint, it has the possibility to strengthen the voice of the musicians and push them in other musical directions than normally. But conducted improvisation can also create frustrations in the musicians, especially if the sign system is not rehearsed enough. Keywords: Conducted improvisation, sign system, musical performance, ensemble teaching, artistic research. 3 Sammenfatning Formålet med denne afhandling Conducted Improvisation er at undersøge, hvordan et musikalsk tegnsprog kan påvirke kreativitet, musikalsk interaktion og følelse af frihed i sammenspilssituationer ved at analysere Extemporize, et tegnsprog jeg har udarbejdet, med yderligere det formål at udforske det pædagogiske potentiale i denne praksis.

But with so many concerts spread over the city even two days demands serious decision-making and crisscrossing town. I was primarily focused on the concert-series of musicians collective The Community at Koncertkirken venue. This article will deal with concerts from that series only. Other concerts such as Jakob Bro Quartet, SÏN (Tim Berne, Kasper Tranberg, Petter Eldh, Peter Bruun), The Living Room (Soren Kjaergaard/Torben Snekkestad/Thomas Strønen) feat. Percy Persglove, Korpset, Fiil Free, LUX (Fred Frith/Lotte Anker/Magda Mayas/ Heike Liss) and Lillinger/Dell/Westergaard/Kjægaard/ Snekkestad will be dealt with in another article. Memory Flashes Apart from a lot of biking through the city, there was the special experience of staying at the old Hotel Astoria directly at the square of Copenhagen central station. It took some effort to learn how to switch on the lights in the hotel room at night, which, I learned was due to Danish heritage listed regulations that don't allow replacement of a lot of fittings in the rooms and the building.
