  • Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water
    Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water Here is someone standing at the entrance to the gallery who goes on talking all the time while almost all the visitors who come are rushing by in their eagerness to inspect what is on show inside. The hall a little way beyond is packed with rare and wonderful things, beautifully laid out and informatively labelled. There is much to see, much to learn. This is what the visitors have come for. Why, then, linger at the doorway? Why wait? But you, you have stopped. Thank you. Yes, this is the gallery, this the exhibition: a catalogue. We can use the word either to mean this paper object you hold in your hands or the totality of items a publisher or, as in this case, record company has available for sale: the CATALOGUE, as we may put it. Such a CATALOGUE is changeable as the ocean is: things will go (though rarely, where ECM is concerned), more will come. The catalogue, on the other hand, is fixed, a photograph of the ocean. There was a moment, probably before it reached print, when the catalogue was identical with the CATALOGUE. But that moment has passed and will not come again, for the ocean is growing and the photograph cannot. Is the catalogue therefore impoverished? No, no more than a photograph is. This is no snapshot, no fuzzy image trapped half_thoughtlessly on a mobile phone. Look at what you have in your hands: this is something well made, something composed. A professional photographer must have been invited to make a study of the ocean.

    John Abercrombie Джон Эберкромби Родился: 16 декабря 1944 в Порт Честере,штат Нью-Йорк Удивительное умение Джона Эберкромби сочетать в своем творче- стве многообразие джазовых направлений сделало его одним из самых влиятельных акустических и электро гитаристов 70-х и начала 80-х годов. Записи Эберкромби на ECM помогли этому рекорд лейблу обрести свою уникальную нишу в продвижении прогрессивного камерного джаза. В по- следнее время свет его звезды несколько угас - этому есть свои причины. Его излишняя дань консерватизму доминирует над джазом, но Эберкромби по-прежнему остается гранд-персоной с высокой творческой энергетикой. Есть понятие "стиля Эберкромби": он основан исключительно на джазе и содержит в себе весь арсенал современной импровизационной музыки. Но главное - он всегда подразумевает и демонст- рирует нечто большее, чем могут вместить все диапазоны музыки - от фолка и рока до Вос- точной и Западной классической музыки. С 1962 по 1966 год Эберкромби учился в Бостон- ском музыкальном колледже (Berklee College of Music), и во время учебы гастролировал с блюзменом Джонни Хэммондом (Johnny Hammond). В 1969 году Эберкромби переезжает в Нью-Йорк и некоторое время играет в группах, возглавляемых барабанщиками Чико Хамиль- тоном и Билли Кобэмом. Группа, в которой он впервые обратил на себя внимание, называлась "Spectrum", а первый альбом, где Эберкромби заявил о себе как бэнд-лидер, назывался "Timeless. Альбом был записан с барабанщи- ком Джеком ДеДжонетте и клавишником Яном Хаммером. Затем последовал "Gateway" в со- ставе другого трио с Джеком ДеДжонетте и ба- систом Дэйвом Холландом, заменившим Яна Хаммера. Тонкий и проникновенный стиль Эберкромби дает наибольший эффект в малых формах: в составе Gateway трио, или в дуэте с гитаристом Ральфом Таунером.

  • Re-Thinking the London Gay Community Marco Venturi UCL Gender and Sexuality Studies
    1 Out of Soho, Back into the Closet: Re-Thinking the London Gay Community Marco Venturi UCL Gender and Sexuality Studies (Centre for Multidisciplinary & Intercultural Inquiry) April 2018 2 3 Declaration 'I, Marco Venturi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis'. Date: 09/04/18 Signature: Marco Venturi 4 Abstract Over the past three decades, Soho has become known, both nationally and internationally, as London's gay district, functioning as a place where gay men could openly interact and express their sexual identities while also developing a sense of community. At the same time, Soho also worked as a bridge between these men and British society, laying the ground for those legal and social changes that contributed to a shift in attitudes towards homosexuality at the start of the millennium. However, many gay-targeted venues in the district have recently gone out of business or are struggling to stay open. Even though this tendency is often described as a direct result of the relentless process of gentrification that is swiftly changing the image of Soho, it does not explain why so many gay men seem to be almost complicit in the district's seeming disappearance. While it is impossible to ignore the part that gentrification is playing in the transformation of the district and the changing face of its gay scene, it is not the only element contributing to the process. Academic research has often concentrated on similar examples of gay districts around the world, but not much attention has been given to Soho.
