Humor can first be divided into two major types: individual level humor or social level humor. These levels are then further divided int.: the following categories: (1) bisociation and cognition;(2) arousal and physiological response; (3) managing social relationships;(4) social control; (5) reference group affiliation; and (6) disparagement.

  • 'Doc' Severinsen by Unknown This Photograph Shows Twelve-Year-Old Carl Severinsen After Winning a Regional Musical Contest in 1939
    Carl 'Doc' Severinsen By Unknown This photograph shows twelve-year-old Carl Severinsen after winning a regional musical contest in 1939. “Doc” Severinsen went on to become an award-winning musician best known for his work as music director of television’s Tonight Show. Born on July 7, 1927, Carl Severinsen grew up in the northeastern Oregon community of Arlington. His father was the town dentist as well as an accomplished musician who played violin in the town band. Severinsen remembers his father often practicing the violin in the house, and said in a 1996 interview that “music was a natural part of my life.” Severinsen began playing the trumpet at age seven. His father wanted him to learn the violin, but Severinsen wanted to learn how to play the trombone. Since the trombone was too big for him, he started playing the trumpet, given to him by a neighbor as Arlington did not have a music store. He later said that he “took to the trumpet naturally.” Just a week after getting his first trumpet Severinsen gave his first public performance at the local Methodist church. He soon became known as “Little Doc” in honor of his father’s profession. Although he won the Music Educator’s National Contest at age twelve, Severinsen did not begin playing seriously until he was in the Army. He organized a band at Ft. Lewis, Washington, where he was stationed, playing in officers clubs and on radio shows. He went on tour when he was discharged from the service, playing with the Charlie Barnet, Benny Goodman, and Tommy Dorsey bands.

  • DOC SEVERINSEN Bio Conductor/Trumpeter
    DOC SEVERINSEN BIO Conductor/Trumpeter Heeeeere’s Johnny!” That lead-in, followed by a big band trumpet blast, was the landmark of late night television for three de- cades. The ‘Johnny’ was Johnny Carson, the announcer was Ed McMahon and the bandleader was Doc Severinsen. Beginning in October 1962, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson ruled the night air for thirty years. On May 22, 1992, it came to an end… Within a week of the final telecast, Doc Severinsen and His Big Band were on the road, and to this day, audiences across America love and respect Doc and his big band, not just because he shared their living room with them for so many years, but because of Doc’s love of the Big Band repertoire. His musicianship keeps this iconic American music fresh to this day. Their repertoire includes Ellington and Basie standards, pop, jazz, ballads, big band classics and, of course, The Tonight Show theme. Severinsen can still blow hard with his horn, and hit the high notes, a result of his continued commitment to the practice studio and the refinement of his craft. But as a band leader, Doc continues to surround himself with the best in the business, and he’s only too happy to give them a turn in the spotlight. A Grammy award winner, Doc has made more than 30 albums–from big band to jazz-fusion to classical. Two critically acclaimed Telarc CDs with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra showcase his multifaceted talents from Bach to ballads. The Very Best of Doc Severinsen reprises fifteen of Doc’s signature pieces.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.
