Something is happening out there. In re - cent years, at the city and at national levels, data are being collected, action plans are being implemented, and “live music offices” are being staffed. The evidence is conclusive. Under the right conditions a vibrant music scene positively affects community and economic development. Link it to tourism and it can really bring in the dollars and jobs. Austin, Nashville, New Orleans, and Berlin are clearly “music cities” where festivals, clubs and the supporting in - dustries provide jobs and attract tourist dollars.

  • Glenn Siegel, Ken Irwin, (413) 545-2876
    Contact: Glenn Siegel, Ken Irwin, (413) 545-2876 www.fineartscenter.com/magictriangle THE 2011 MAGIC TRIANGLE JAZZ SERIES PRESENTS: Mostly Other People Do the Killing The Magic Triangle Jazz Series, produced by WMUA, 91.1FM and the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, concludes its 22nd season on Wednesday, April 20, at Bezanson Recital Hall with an 8:00pm performance by Mostly Other People Do the Killing. Deconstructing jazz standards and original compositions, weaving in and out of styles erratically and often humorously, Mostly Other People Do the Killing (MOPDtK) is led by bassist and composer Moppa Elliot and features Peter Evans, trumpet, Jon Iragabon, saxophone and Kevin Shea, drums. “Bolstered by a youthful visceral intensity,” writes All About Jazz, “the mercurial quartet has a historically aware yet stylistically irreverent take on the jazz tradition." Mostly Other People Do the Killing formed in the fall of 2003 in New York City. Moppa Elliott met Peter Evans in 1998 at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where both studied. Upon relocating to New York, Elliott met Jon Irabagon and Kevin Shea. Mostly Other People Do the Killing recorded its first eponymous album during the summer of 2004 and released it on Elliott's Hot Cup label. "There’s a bustling, ostentatious impiety in the music of Mostly Other People Do the Killing,” writes The New York Times. “It’s a jazz quartet with a diligent grasp of history but an anarchic take on convention.” Their most recent release, Forty Fort (Hot Cup), is their fourth. By 2009, they had been voted the winners of the DownBeat Critics' Poll in the Rising Star Ensemble category, and Evans, Irabagon, and Elliott had been mentioned in their respective categories Jon Irabagon won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone competition in 2008, while Peter Evans released his second solo trumpet album on Evan Parker's psi label.

  • 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.

  • Thumbscrew-Never Is Enough PR
    Bio information: THUMBSCREW Title: NEVER IS ENOUGH (Cuneiform Rune 478) Format: CD / VINYL (DOUBLE) / DIGITAL www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ How much is too much when it comes to THUMBSCREW? The All-Star Collective Trio Delivers a Decisive Answer with Their Sixth Album NEVER IS ENOUGH a Riveting Program of Originals by Tomas Fujiwara, Mary Halvorson and Michael Formanek A funny thing happened while Thumbscrew was hunkered down at City of Asylum, the Pittsburgh arts organization that has served as a creative hotbed for the collective trio via a series of residencies. Late in the summer of 2019 the immediate plan was for drummer Tomas Fujiwara, guitarist Mary Halvorson and bassist Michael Formanek to rehearse and record a disparate program of Anthony Braxton compositions they’d gleaned from his Tri-Centric Foundation archives, pieces released last year on The Anthony Braxton Project, a Cuneiform album celebrating his 75th birthday. At the same time, the triumvirate brought in a batch of original compositions that they also spent time refining and recording, resulting in Never Is Enough, a brilliant program of originals slated for release on Cuneiform. There’s a precedent for twined projects by the trio serving as fascinating foils for each other. In June 2018, Cuneiform simultaneously released an album of Thumbscrew originals, Ours, and Theirs, a disparate but cohesive session exploring music by the likes of Brazilian choro master Jacob do Bandolim, pianist Herbie Nichols, and Argentine tango master Julio de Caro. Those albums were also honed and recorded during a City of Asylum residency. While not intended as the same kind of dialogue, The Anthony Braxton Project and Never Is Enough do seem to speak eloquently (if cryptically) to each other.

  • Dieses Jahr Wird Es Zum Moers Festival Kein Gedrucktes Programmmagazin Geben
    Sie werden es mitbekommen haben: Dieses Jahr wird es zum moers festival kein gedrucktes Programmmagazin geben. Doch nicht der Spardruck allein, der zurzeit auf dem moers festival lastet, hat uns als Redaktion dazu veranlasst, das bisherige Printkonzept ins Internet zu verlegen – als Magazin-Blog innerhalb von moers-festival.de. Vielmehr sind es die vielfältigen und neuen Möglichkeiten von Web 2.0, die uns von der Richtigkeit dieses Schritts überzeugt haben – um das „alte“ Programmmagazin an der Dynamik und Vitalität des Word Wide Web teilhaben zu lassen. Sämtliche Rubriken im moers ferstival Magazin-Blog werden sukzessive in Blogfunktionen bis zum Festivalstart veröffentlicht. Mit einer Blog- typischen Kommentarfunktion können Sie direkt auf die Artikel reagieren – und am „Diskurs“ teilnehmen. Zudem lassen wir einige Musiker tatschlich zu Wort kommen und machen die mit Worten beschriebene Musik für Sie hör- und sichtbar – mit unserem moers festival Podcast etwa, oder mit MySpace- und YouTube-Links. Und über jedes Update in unserem moers festival Magazin-Blog können Sie sich problemlos per „RSS Feed“ informieren lassen. Die dreiteilige Struktur des „alten“ Magazins haben wir beibehalten. Im „Programm“-Teil schreiben Fachjournalisten Beiträge über die Musiker und Bands, die beim Festival auftreten werden. Im „Magazin“-Teil stellen Autoren neue Tendenzen und Strömungen innerhalb der Szene aktueller, improvisierter Musik vor. So hat uns zum Beispiel Hank Shteamer ein Update zu seinem letztjährigen Artikel über die „Young Guns From New York“ geschickt.
