Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World
1 Chapter Seven Cold Commodities: Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World Haftor Medbøe Since gaining prominence in public consciousness as a distinct genre in early 20th Century USA, jazz has become a music of global reach (Atkins, 2003). Coinciding with emerging mass dissemination technologies of the period, jazz spread throughout Europe and beyond via gramophone recordings, radio broadcasts and the Hollywood film industry. America’s involvement in the two World Wars, and the subsequent $13 billion Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe as a unified, and US friendly, trading zone further reinforced the proliferation of the new genre (McGregor, 2016; Paterson et al., 2013). The imposition of US trade and cultural products posed formidable challenges to the European identities, rooted as they were in 18th-Century national romanticism. Commercialised cultural representations of the ‘American dream’ captured the imaginations of Europe’s youth and represented a welcome antidote to post-war austerity. This chapter seeks to problematise the historiography and contemporary representations of jazz in the Nordic region, with particular focus on the production and reception of jazz from Norway. Accepted histories of jazz in Europe point to a period of adulatory imitation of American masters, leading to one of cultural awakening in which jazz was reimagined through a localised lens, and given a ‘national voice’. Evidence of this process of acculturation and reimagining is arguably nowhere more evident than in the canon of what has come to be received as the Nordic tone. In the early 1970s, a group of Norwegian musicians, including saxophonist Jan Garbarek (b.1947), guitarist Terje Rypdal (b.1947), bassist Arild Andersen (b.1945), drummer Jon Christensen (b.1943) and others, abstracted more literal jazz inflected reinterpretations of Scandinavian folk songs by Nordic forebears including pianist Jan Johansson (1931-1968), saxophonist Lars Gullin (1928-1976) bassist Georg Riedel (b.1934) (McEachrane 2014, pp. -

Gábor Juhász - Palle Mikkelborg P (2004) Titre: 60/40
Artiste: Gábor Juhász - Palle Mikkelborg P (2004) Titre: 60/40 L’aspect rythmique de l’existence La vie se fige parfois dans une certaine forme d’immobilité – du moins, elle semble l’être, lorsque vous vous trouvez seul en forêt, par exemple, retenant votre souffle, sans un seul clignotement des yeux. La forme rythmique est beaucoup plus évidente ; respiration, battements du cœur, jours, années, amour, vie... musique. J’ai entendu dire que les cycles rythmiques complexes de la musique indienne reproduisent le cours des étoiles. L’indescriptible et difficile rubato ressemble, quant à lui, à la plupart des cycles de l’existence : imprévisible. Le jazz vient du cœur, et il bat au rythme du cœur. Je remercie particulièrement mes amis Elemér, József, Péter, András et Zoltán, un groupe fort de ses connaissances sur le rythme, pour leur art et leur amour. Un grand merci également à Helen et à Palle dont la musique et l’amitié enrichissent mon existence. Je suis reconnaissant à Palle à plus d’un titre : lorsque je l’entends jouer de la trompette (retenant mon souffle, sans cligner des yeux), je peux sentir la présence de cette forme d’immobilité qui accompagne notre vie. Il est le seul à y arriver. Gábor Juhász J’ai rencontré Gábor pour la première fois au cours d’une soirée pluvieuse à Budapest, ou je donnais un concert avec Helen et Terje. Nous nous sommes séparés avec la promesse de se revoir et de jouer ensemble. Peu de temps après, György Wallner entra en contact avec moi et me demanda si je désirais jouer sur le prochain CD de Gábor et si je voulais également apporter quelques-uns de mes propres airs à enregistrer. -

100 YEARS OF RECORDED SOUND INSIDE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE: Music Collections at the National Library of Norway, Rana Division Trond Valberg (Senior Archivist, National Library of Norway)* The National Library of Norway, Rana Division (hereafter NB Rana), was founded in 1989 when Parliament passed its latest Legal Deposit Act. The decision to choose a location 1,000 km north of the capital was a political one. In connection with the establishment of NB Rana it was decided to build a huge storage vault blasted into the mountain. The constant rock temperature of 9°C during every season makes it suitable for long-term storage of different kinds of material. There are 42,000 metres of shelves on four floors, and we have already prepared for another storage vault. The mountain vaults can resist all conventional bombs. To some extent it is important to know the origin of our institution to understand the development of the collections and associated activities. In addition to its state-of-the art storage facilities, much focus has been made on building a good technical infrastructure. We have a fully- equipped conservation laboratory and a recording studio that can handle most analogue and digital formats. Our digital mass storage system became fully operational in 2001, serving both legal deposit documents and historical material. On the subject of finance, though, I have to add that due to our budget we have barely spent any money on buying records or CDs. Since NB Rana is not open to the general public, our services can only be accessed online or by contacting the staff by phone or in other ways. -
Norway's Jazz Identity by © 2019 Ashley Hirt MA
Mountain Sound: Norway’s Jazz Identity By © 2019 Ashley Hirt M.A., University of Idaho, 2011 B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology. __________________________ Chair: Dr. Roberta Freund Schwartz __________________________ Dr. Bryan Haaheim __________________________ Dr. Paul Laird __________________________ Dr. Sherrie Tucker __________________________ Dr. Ketty Wong-Cruz The dissertation committee for Ashley Hirt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: _____________________________ Chair: Date approved: ii Abstract Jazz musicians in Norway have cultivated a distinctive sound, driven by timbral markers and visual album aesthetics that are associated with the cold mountain valleys and fjords of their home country. This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization. -

The Helsinki Spirit.Indd
HELSINGIN HENKI THE HELSINKI SPIRIT A Report on the Annual Meeting of the European Jazz Network held in Helsinki, Finland between 2nd and 3rd September 2006. The 2006 meeting of the European Jazz Network comprised the Working Parties meeting held on the 2nd September in the conference suites of the Hotel Sokos Presidentti and the General Assembly held on 3rd September at the UMO Jazz House. The 2006 meeting came at crucial moment in the EJN’s development. As chairman Lars Thorborg pointed out in his address, the success of the organization could be measured by its remarkable growth over the last five years, from fourteen members in 2000 to over fifty in 2006. Indeed, several new members were present for the first time at this year’s meeting while several potential members had been identified who were committed to joining in the near future, including the internationally famous Porgy & Bess jazz club in Vienna. However at a time when the EJN was enjoying its greatest success, a key funding line from the EEU under its Culture 2000 programme was not renewed, news of which had only been conveyed to the EJN a matter of weeks before the meeting. As Lars Thorborg pointed out, this demanded an imaginative and creative response from the organization and while it certainly represented a challenge for the future, it also represented financial independence. 3 THE WORKING PARTIES MEETING 2nd September held in the Conference Suites of the Hotel Sokos Presidentti After a welcome address by EJN President Lars Thorborg and a brief outline why the EJN/European Jazz Network bid for continued funding from the EEU under their Culture 2000 Programme was unsuccessful, the membership were asked for innovative thinking in deciding the future direction of the organization. -
