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. -

Arve Henriksen Cartography
ECM Arve Henriksen Cartography Arve Henriksen: trumpets, voice, field recordings. With Jan Bang: live sampling, beats, dictaphone, programming; Audun Kleive; percussion; David Sylvian: voice, samples, programming; Helge Sunde: string arrangements, programming; Eivind Aarset: guitars; Lars Danielsson: double-bass, Erik Honoré: synthesizer, samples; Arnaud Mercier: treatments; Trio Mediaeval: voice sample; Vérène Andronikof: vocals; Vytas Sonndeckis: vocal arrangement (collective personnel) ECM 2086 6025 178 0116 (5) Release: October 2008 The uniquely lyrical, liquid and mellifluous sound of Arve Henriksen’s trumpet has had an important supportive role to play on a number of ECM recordings of the last decade. Amongst them – Christian Wallumrød’s “No Birch”, “Sofienberg Variations”, “A Year from Easter” and “The Zoo is Far”, Trygve Seim’s “Different Rivers”, “The Source and Different Cikadas” and “Sangam” , Jon Balke’s “Kyanos”, Sinikka Langeland’s “Starflowers”, Frode Haltli’s “Passing Images”, Arild Andersen’s “Elektra” ... albums which between them represent a very broad range of musical possibilities. In each context, however, Henriksen has proven to be both a highly-distinctive and uncommonly adaptive player. This versatility provides a subtext for the present disc, which pools a shifting cast of creative musicians from diverse genres including jazz, electronica, ambient and classical music and the world of the remix. Ex-pop singer David Sylvian makes two appearances reading his own texts, Ana Maria Friman sings fragments of William Brooks’s “Anima Mea” and the voices of the Trio Mediaeval emerge, sampled, on “recording Angel”. Guitarist Eivind Aarset, and drummer Audun Kleive loom out of the mix, and Ståle Storløkken, Arve’s colleague from noise/rock/improv band Supersilent, has a cameo on “Famine’s Ghost”. -

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. -

22Nd Istanbul Jazz Festival Programme
22nd Istanbul Jazz Festival Programme The Festival Hosts Young Jazz Prodigy Tigran Hamasyan in Two Projects Tuesday, 30 June, 21:00, Hagia Eirene Museum Wednesday, 1 July, 19:00, Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall Young musical prodigy Tigran Hamasyan, born in Armenia in 1987, will be at the festival with two special concerts. Hamasyan started the piano when he was three and won the piano competitions of both the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Thelonious Monk Institiute when he was 18, the same age when he released his debut album World Passion. Then in 2011, he won the Victoires de la Musique, which is considered to be the French Grammy’s, with his album A Fable. The Guardian describes him as, “a multi-stylistic jazz virtuoso and a groove-powered hitmaker simultaneously.” Herbie Hancock has already told him, “You are my teacher now!” and Hancock is not alone in his admiration of the young musician, but rather joined by others like Brad Mehldau and Chick Corea. On Tuesday, 30 June, Tigran Hamasyan will render traditional Armenian music at the Hagia Eirene Museum, where he will be joined by the Yerevan State Chamber Music Choir, directed by Harutyun Topikyan, for his chamber choir project Luys i Luso. This project will be performed at a hundred different churches around the world and its album will be released under the title of ECM in September. Hamasyan will meet jazz-lovers a second time the next evening and this time it will be for a lilting and melodic concert with his trio at the Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall. -
Tore Brunborg
Tore Brunborg Slow Snow ACT 9586-2 German release date: April 24th, 2015 Still waters run deep And the admiration for Brunborg goes further than Manu Katché, in 2012 he was honoured with the On a per-capita basis, no other country in the world "Buddyprisen", Norway's most prestigious jazz award. spawns more top-class jazz musicians than Brunborg now proves his worth one yet again on "Slow Norway. Jan Garbarek is the guiding star, but it was also Snow", an album that exclusively showcases his own the second generation born in the 60s that helped "Nordic compositions. It is characterised by the interweaving of Jazz" to global notoriety: Nils Petter Molvær, Bugge closeness and distance, relaxation and compaction, Wesseltoft, Geir Lysne, Eivind Aarset and saxophonist Tore eccentricity and simplicity, of electronic and natural sounds. Brunborg. Although highly respected in the Norwegian jazz Especially the contrast between the entirely reduced, almost scene, Brunborg has until now been known internationally gnarly bass rhythms and motifs and the warm and lyrical as a sideman, however this year, the 54 year-old brings out saxophone lines that lend pieces like "History" and "Tree his own international release, his ACT debut "Slow Snow". Strong, Tall Swaying, Swinging, Sighing" (a title that borders on an allegorical description of the song's The fact that he has not stepped into the limelight contents) an inspired, powerful flow that grabs you and until now may be due to Brunborg's unassuming doesn't let go. Brunborg selected his fellow campaigners and halcyon character. He grew up in the introspective for the record carefully: on the drums the 46 year-old Per and placid Voss, a town of 7000 inhabitants on the banks of Oddvar Johansen, a five-time winner of the Lake Vangsvatnet just north of the city of Bergen, "Spellemannprisen" (the Norwegian Grammy), who has surrounded by mountains, forests and waterfalls. -

Gratis omvisning i Berger museum hver dag kl. 13.00. Café Jebsen holder åpent tirsdag–søndag kl. 11.00–19.00. FOSSEKLEIVA KULTURSENTER RUNI LANGUM TEGNING OG SKULPTUR Runi Langum viser en serie nye arbeider. Temaet er menneske i natur, som blander seg og er en del av hverandre – i evig bevegelse. «Kunsten er et uttrykk for det åndelige som vi kan sanse i livet og som vi blir forbundet av. Energien i streken og i en bearbeidet masse skaper beskjeder i omformingen til et verk.» Runi Langum er utdannet ved Kunstakademiet i Trondheim, og ved det prestisjetunge Ècole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts i Paris der hun spesialiserte seg i tegning og fikk 1. prix de dessin i 1986. Hun bor og arbeider på Berger og Fossekleiva. Som grafiker arbeider Runi Langum hovedsakelig med litografiske teknikker. Hennes motivbruk består av mennesker og natur fremstilt med vare, flytende streker satt i kontrast mot ekspressive anslag. Streken er seismografisk. På denne måten skaper hun et figurativt formspråk der motivene blir satt i bevegelse i bildet. Hun har også tegnet på stein. I Elveparken Drammen står to skulpturer med relieff.
