Used with permission. chapter 1 O Taming the Wildest What We've Made of Louis Prima jOHN j. PAULY For over forty years, Louis Prima had survived one change after another in the pop~ ular music business. He was, in succession, a trumpet section player in his home~ town ofNew Orleans, the front man for a popular New York City jazz quintet, and the leader of a touring big band. In the 1950s, with his career flagging, he reinvent~ ed himself as a spectacular Las Vegas lounge act, then nudged his career through the 1960s with help from his old friend, Walt Disney. He explored many forms of popular music along the way, but aspired only, in his own words, to "play pretty for the people." The same man who wrote the jazz classic "Sing, Sing, Sing," would also record easy listening instrumental music, Disney movie soundtracks, and ltalian~American novelty songs. In all these reincamations, he performed with an exuberance that inspired his Vegas nickname, "the wildest." Prima's career would end in deafening silence, however. He spent the last thirty~five months of his life in a coma, following a 197 5 operation in which doctors partially removed a benign tumor from his brain stem.

  • Genre, De Muziekstijl, Stemming Van De Muziek En De Instrumentatie Die Een Bepaalde Artiest Uitoefende
    Een Sociaal Netwerk Onder Muziekartiesten: Een analyse van het sociaal netwerk van muzikanten en daaraan verbonden muzikale kenmerken Gegevens student B.J.G.M. Kuppens Corporate Communication & Digital Media Universiteit van Tilburg [email protected] Begeleiding dr. J. J. Paijmans Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen dpt. Comm.‐ Infor.wetensch [email protected] 1 Abstract Dit onderzoek verdiept zich in de structuur van het sociaal netwerk van muziekartiesten. Wat onderzocht wordt, is of er binnen dit sociaal netwerk een zogenaamde power law verdeling te ontdekken valt. Dit is interessant vanwege de maatschappelijke relevantie van power law structuren in de samenleving. Om dit vast te stellen is er gekeken naar wie de meest invloedrijke artiesten zijn en van wie er de meeste nummers gecoverd zijn. De verwachting is dat er relatief weinig artiesten zijn met relatief veel invloed op medeartiesten, en overeenkomstig staan veel artiesten die weinig invloed hebben op hun medeartiesten. Hetzelfde fenomeen wordt verwacht bevestigd te worden voor gecoverde nummers. Nadat is gebleken dat de structuur van het sociaal netwerk onder muziekartiesten daadwerkelijk de kenmerken vertoont van een power law verdeling, is er vervolgens nog gekeken naar een viertal muzikale kenmerken van de meest invloedrijke artiesten gevonden tijdens dit onderzoek. Het betreft het genre, de muziekstijl, stemming van de muziek en de instrumentatie die een bepaalde artiest uitoefende. Ook van deze variabelen is er een frequentieverdeling gemaakt en is er gekeken of er op een power law gelijkende verdeling is. Dit bleek alleen bij de variabelen genre en instrumentatie het geval te zijn. Muziekstijl in mindere mate en wat stemming betreft zijn er geen dominante items gevonden.

  • Approaching the Jazz Past: MOPDTK's Blue and Jason Moran's
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 11, no. 2, pp. 1-28 (2016) Approaching the Jazz Past: MOPDTK’s Blue and Jason Moran’s “In My Mind: Monk at Town Hall, 1959” Tracy McMullen “Polemical traditions seem to valorize the literal” -Henry Louis Gates In October 2014, the jazz group Mostly Other People Do the Killing released their seventh album, Blue, a “painstakingly realized, note-for-note” re- performance of the classic 1959 album by the Miles Davis Sextet, Kind of Blue. Some jazz critics have described this album as “ingenious and preposterous” and “important.”1 Many of my fellow jazz scholars have been intrigued, wondering just how closely these artists come to re-performing the nuances of Miles or Coltrane or Evans. I have been far less impressed or intrigued. MOPDTK’s album is the product of a long Western tradition of understanding the art object, the artist, and history. Far from preposterous, ingenious, or even new, I argue this album is a stark example of comprehending jazz via a Western epistemology that informs “classical music” rather than, as one reviewer argues, a critique of this tendency. Using the 1939 Jorge Luis Borges story the band offers as liner notes as my pivot point, I argue that MOPDTK assumes an epistemology that privileges objectivity and an obsession with naming while suspecting the subjec- tive and what cannot be named. In an obtuse reading of the Borges story, bassist and bandleader Moppa Elliott asserts that we must have a new object in order to re-read the old one. An obsession with naming (that is, locating boundaries) breeds a fascination with difference, which is then found in a predictable place: racial difference.

  • “Right to Refusal”: Practices of Consent in the Pittsburgh Swing Dance Community
    Title Page “Right to Refusal”: Practices of Consent in the Pittsburgh Swing Dance Community by Hannah Standiford Bachelor of Music, Virginia Commonwealth University, 2011 Submitted to Graduate Faculty of the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Pittsburgh 2020 Committee Membership Page UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This thesis was presented by Hannah Standiford It was defended on April 29th, 2020 and approved by Dr. Andrew Weintraub (advisor) Professor, Music Dr. Adriana Helbig, Associate Professor, Music Dr. Michael Heller, Associate Professor, Music ii Copyright © by Hannah Standiford 2020 iii Abstract “Right to Refusal”: Practices of Consent in the Pittsburgh Swing Dance Community Hannah Standiford, MA University of Pittsburgh, 2020 In 2015, professional swing dancer Steven Mitchell was outed online by several women as a serial sexual abuser and was ostracized from the swing dance community both within the United States and globally. The first woman to share her story was Sarah Sullivan and her blog post detailing her sexual assault has been translated into at least seven languages. Within a week, swing dance organizers began having conversations online, leading to changes in practices of consent and the promotion of safer spaces during dance events. While etiquette of the swing dance revival starting in the mid-1980s dictated that dancers should say “yes” to any dance, current practices have shifted to encourage dancers to feel empowered to say “no” for any reason. This thesis joins a small but growing body of literature on social dance in the field of ethnomusicology and other fields including dance and performance studies.
