Mike Mantler and Carla Bley, being the only two non-leader members of the Guild, had decided to organize an orchestra made up of musicians both inside and outside the Guild. This group, then known as the Jazz Composer's Guild Orchestra and consisting of eleven musicians, began rehearsals in the downtown loft of painter Mike Snow for its premiere performance at the Guild's Judson Hall series of concerts in December 1964. The orchestra, set up in a large circle in the center of the hall, played "Communications no.3" by Mike Mantler and "Roast" by Carla Bley. The concert was so successful musically that the leaders decided to continue to write for the group and to give performances at the Guild's new headquarters, a triangular studio on top of the Village Vanguard, called the Contemporary Center. In early March 1965 at the first of these concerts, which were presented in a workshop style, the group had been enlarged to fifteen musicians and the pieces played were "Radio" by Carla Bley and "Communications no.4" (subtitled "Day") by Mike Mantler.

    BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DE ALICANTE BIOGRAFÍA Roy Haynes nació el 13 de marzo de 1925 en Boston, Massachusetts. A finales de los años cuarenta y principios de los cincuenta, Roy Haynes tuvo la clase de aprendizaje que constituiría el sueño de cualquier músico actual: sentarse en el puesto de baterista y acompañar al gran Charlie Parker. Ahora, cincuenta años después, y tras haber tocado con todos los grandes del jazz: Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, o Bud Powell, todavía coloca sus grabaciones en la cima de las listas de las revistas especializadas en jazz. Este veterano baterista, comenzó su andadura profesional en las bigbands de Frankie Newton y Louis Russell (1945-1947) y el siguiente paso fue tocar entre 1947 y 1949 con el maestro el saxo tenor, Lester Young. Entre 1949 y 1952, formo parte del quinteto de Charlie Parker y desde ese privilegiado taburete vio pasar a las grandes figuras del bebop y aprender de ellas. Acompañó a la cantante Sarah Vaughan, por los circuitos del jazz en los Estados Unidos entre 1953 y 1958 y cuando finalizó su trabajo grabo con Thelonious Monk, George Shearing y Lennie Tristano entre otros y ocasionalmente sustituía a Elvin Jones en el cuarteto de John Coltrane. Participó en la dirección de la Banda Sonora Original de la película "Bird" dirigida por Clint Eastwood en 1988 y todavía hoy en activo, Roy Haynes, es una autentica bomba dentro de un escenario como pudimos personalmente comprobar en uno de sus últimos conciertos celebrados en España y mas concretamente en Sevilla en el año 2000. En 1994, Roy Haynes recibió el premio Danish Jazzpar, que se concede en Dinamarca.

  • Carla Bley Wurde Im Kalifornischen Oakland Geboren Und Lebt Heute in Den Catskill Mountains Im US-Bundes- Staat New York
    Bley, Carla Carla Bley wurde im kalifornischen Oakland geboren und lebt heute in den Catskill Mountains im US-Bundes- staat New York. Mit verschiedenen Bands, kammermusi- kalischen Ensembles und Orchestern hat sie die ganze Welt bereist, vor allem Europa und Südostasien. Als „composer-in-residence“ war sie unter anderem beim Glasgow Festival und wurde in die Essener Philharmo- nie eingeladen. Biografie Carla Bley wurde am 11. Mai 1936 als Lovella May Borg in Oakland, Kalifornien, als Tochter zweier Musiker gebo- ren. Bei ihrem Vater Emil Borg erhielt sie ersten Klavier- und Orgelunterricht und begleitete bereits im Alter von vier Jahren Hochzeiten und Begräbnisse. Mit acht Jah- ren verweigerte sie jeden weiteren Unterricht (Carla Bley betrachtet sich selbst als Autodidaktin). Im selben Jahr starb ihre Mutter Arline Borg. Fünfzehnjährig brach sie die Schule ab und jobbte in einem Plattenladen. Zusätzli- ches Geld verdiente sie mit Auftritten in örtlichen Piano- Bars. Insbesondere die Musik Erik Saties, die sie zufällig Carla Bley im Radio gehört hatte, beschäftigte ihre Fantasie. Carla Bley 1957 verließ sie Kalifornien und ging nach New York, wo Geburtsname: Carla Lovella Borg sie sich Carla Borg nannte.

  • Dinner and Dance Music in the 1920S & 30S Popular Tunes Performed by the Era’S Top Pianists on the Ampico Reproducing Piano
    (LYRCD 6017) Lyrichord Presents Dinner and Dance Music in the 1920s & 30s Popular Tunes Performed by the Era’s Top Pianists on the Ampico Reproducing Piano Performed by: J. Milton Delcamp Henry Lange Adam Carroll Victor Arden & Adam Carroll Paul Rickenbach Murial Pollock Ferde Grofe Frank Milne Victor Lane (Adam Carroll) & Zez Confrey Edgar Fairchild Ampico, which stood for American Piano Company, was one of the leading manufacturers of reproducing pianos in the early 20th century. Numerous musical luminaries, including composers Sergei Rachmaninoff and Fritz Kreisler and legendary pianists Arthur Rubinstein and Artur Schnabel, recorded for this musical marvel. Emil Welte patented the first true reproducing piano that used a perforated paper roll in 1883. Early interest in the Welte-Mignon reproducing piano, combined with the longstanding popularity of standard player pianos, led several firms to take note. Ampico bought the invention and hired engineer Charles Fuller Stoddard, who had patented his 1 own reproducing piano design in 1908. When he joined Ampico, the company began manufacturing reproducing instruments as well as an add-on reproducing roll-playing mechanism capable of retrofitting some standard pianos. There is a fundamental difference between the player piano and the reproducing piano. Although both use perforated paper rolls to convey the notes and tempo of the piece being played, the reproducing piano’s rolls also contain all of the expressive dynamics. This means that the roll plays the exact performance recorded by the pianist. A piano capable of reproducing an existing performance on a paper roll soon came to be the high- end, technological/musical device that any affluent music lover wanted in his or her parlor.

Mai 2016, 22.05 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Erste Kompositionen von Carla Bley hörte man auf den Platten ihres damaligen Ehemannes Paul Bley, wundersam schöne Miniaturen mit einem ganz eigenen Ton. Bald aber emanzipierte sich Carla von Paul und wurde selbst zur wichtigsten Frau im Jazz. «Ich studierte nie Musik, und so konnte ich nie jemanden imitieren», sagt Carla Bley, und tatsächlich klang sie von ihrem allerersten Stück an wie sie selber. Ihre Musik hat einen identifizierbaren Geschmack, ob sie sie nun im Duo mit ihrem jetzigen Lebenspartner Steve Swallow spielt, mit einem Quartett oder einer Big Band. Vera Kappeler, die im Gespräch mit Annina Salis dem Phänomen Carla Bley nachspürt, ist ein ähnliches Temperament, gleich eigenständig und originell!

By working as a cigarette girl at Birdland or checking coats at Basin Street or the Jazz Gallery, I was able to hear Count Basie and many other great bands nightly. The clubs were dark and smoky. People would order drinks and talk and laugh between sets. The music was sophisticated and hard-swinging. The music I wrote for this album was inspired by the atmosphere of nightclubs in the 1950s. It began when I was commissioned to write and perform a big band composition for the 2005 Monterey Jazz Festival. Looking for a starting point, I immediately thought of “The Black Orchid”, a nightclub in Monterey where I taken a job as a pianist when I was seventeen. The piano had a bar built around it, and soldiers from the nearby military base would sit there and listen to me play standards. Often one of them would request a favorite song, but I had a very small and carefully arranged repertoire and wouldn’t play anything I didn’t like and couldn’t fake anything I didn’t know.

  • Teatro Lirico Di Cagliari Stagione Concertistica 2006-2007 Al Teatro Lirico Di Cagliari “Carla Bley – the Lost Chords”, Os
    Teatro Lirico di Cagliari Fondazione Stagione concertistica 2006-2007 VII Festival di Sant’Efisio Giovedì 3 maggio, ore 20.30 Al Teatro Lirico di Cagliari “Carla Bley – The lost chords”, ospite Paolo Fresu Giovedì 3 maggio alla 20.30 ancora jazz al Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, per un nuovo appuntamento sul calendario della settima edizione del Festival di Sant’Efisio. È “Carla Bley – The lost chords”, progetto intrigante e originale, che ospita sul palcoscenico la tromba virtuosa di Paolo Fresu. Il gruppo è d’eccezione: Carla Bley (pianoforte), Andy Sheppard (sax tenore e soprano), Steve Swallow (basso) e Billy Drummond (batteria). Il concerto è fuori abbonamento. “Se pensiamo a un ideale ciclo di reincarnazioni per ognuno di noi, è chiaro come Carla Bley sia stata, o sia destinata a ritrovarsi nei panni dell’esploratrice. È quello che tra i suoni e le partiture, in una carriera poderosa, frastagliata, fitta di movimenti secchi, svolte nette, progressioni, scarti, ha sempre fatto, e continua a prospettare, a ripromettersi. Intellettualmente inquieta, impagabilmente curiosa e portata con naturalezza a fiutare l’aria della tappa successiva del suo itinerario, Carla ha fatto della musica una ragione di vita profonda, una missione possibile che conduce con grazia pari solo alla forza, fin da quando era ragazza. A studiare la sua storia pare quasi incredibile che la ragazza di Oakland stia navigando intorno ai settant’anni: non lo si immaginerebbe ad ascoltarla in concerto, a seguire le vicende produttive e i progetti di cui si fa testimone, che mai danno l’impressione di voler ribadire il passato, di riciclare idee e intuizioni già affiorate in precedenza.

  • A Classical Clarinetists Guide to Klezmer Music D.M.A
    A Classical Clarinetists Guide to Klezmer Music D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor in Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dylan Mikhail Lloyd, B.M. M.M. Graduate Program of Music The Ohio State University 2017 Document Committee Doctor Caroline Hartig, Advisor Doctor Russel Mikkelson Professor Karen Pierson Doctor Jan Radzynski Copyright By Dylan Mikhail Lloyd 2017 Abstract The overarching purpose of this document is to provide a classical clarinetist/musician with a starting resource that will enable them to better understand klezmer music. Klezmer music is the traditional instrumental folk music of the Jewish people. Klezmer music developed alongside the diaspora of the Jewish people across Europe. The evolution of klezmer includes a plethora of musical characteristics derived from other cultures. A consistent and official klezmer repertoire does not exist, each band would have a unique collection of songs borrowed and repurposed from Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Palestine, Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy, and many other countries. Klezmer musicians learned local marches, anthems and shepherd songs so they could entertain Jewish and Christian communities. Throughout history the Jewish people have had to wander from country to country, trying to find acceptance. While they may have been welcomed for a time and contributed and participated in the local culture. Each time the Jewish people were forced to leave their homes a portion of the local culture would come with them. This cross-cultural synthesis would become a hallmark feature of klezmer music. An understanding of the history of klezmer music is necessary, to grasp its spiritual and cultural significance.
