Io ho deciso di svolgere questo lavoro su un musicista (non mi piace parlare solo di bassista) che non è particolarmente noto per il suo lavoro solistico, ma ben noto come turnista di fama mondiale, e (questo è un parere personalissimo ed opinabile) ancor di più su un punto nel quale ne condivido ogni aspetto, ovvero il divertirsi con gli altri ed essere al servizio della musica sotto quasi ogni genere. Certo! Sarei falso se dicessi che anche io amo fare quasi ogni genere di musica, neanche io ce la faccio a divertirmi con ogni genere! Anche perché è umano avere delle propensioni e virare per quello in cui si è più in sintonia (esattamente come i gusti sessuali). Attenzione! Non sto dicendo che il cosiddetto bassista è importante solo perché si diverte e non è qualitativamente bravo, anzi! È sicuramente uno dei musicisti più completi che ci sia stato fino ad oggi e sicuramente anche fino ad un domani. E non sto dicendo neppure che gli altri musicisti non si divertono lo stesso come lui, basta pensare a Flea dei RHCP o a Jaco Pastorius o a Marcus Miller e molti altri, per vedere cosa significa la vera essenza del divertimento e passione. Però, ho sempre trovato in lui questo modo di divertirsi assieme al brano e assieme ai musicisti che lo circondano (il tutto mischiato con un bel gusto nel suonare) che va particolarmente a braccio con il mio modo di essere (o per lo meno che vorrei essere!). Vuoi perché l’ho sempre visto al fianco di Stevie Wonder e già di per se i suoi brani sono letteralmente favolosi, vuoi perché ispira sicurezza e semplicità, vuoi perché fa paura (data la sua stazza! Haha), non lo so. La cosa che so per certo è che approfondendo il suo modo di essere musicista, la sua vita ed il suo modo di porsi più da “amicone” che da “musicista sulle sue che se la tira”, mi ha incuriosito e sicuramente arricchito musicalmente e caratterialmente. P.S. Se ci sono degli errori vi prego di farmelo sapere, anche perché sbagliare è umano e in più ho voglia di migliorare. Accetto tutto…………………………………………… volendo anche un piccolo acconto… quello magari si!

Pagina 5 di 33 Inizio Pagina 6 di 33 BIOGRAFIA Nathan Lamar Watts, meglio noto come Nathan Watts, è un bassista turnista di fama mondiale. Nato il 25 marzo 1954 a Detroit (Michigan – U.S.): città che ben presto divenne la culla per ispirazione di un fenomeno musicale ben conosciuto, prese ispirazione musicale già dalla tenera età dal jazzista Lee Morgan, cominciando così a suonare tromba alle scuole elementari. Fece parte di un trio che caratterizzò altri futuri musicisti turnisti di rilievo come Ray Parker Junior al clarinetto e Ollie Brown alla batteria e frequentò inoltre lo studio della Motown Hitsville assistendo alle prove e alle registrazioni dei “The Funk Brothers” che fecero da band alle basi dell’etichetta. Quando Ray Parker abbandonò il clarinetto in favore della chitarra, convinse Watts a passare al basso e fu la prima cosa che fece appena dopo laureatosi alla High School. (un giovanissimo Nathan alle prese con uno dei suoi primi bassi) Nathan Watts con il suo primo basso imparò “Cold Sweat” di James Brown, cominciando da subito a studiare le linee di altri grandi bassisti come James Jamerson, Chicky Rainey e Bob Babbitt. Quando Ray Parker Jr. si unì alla band di Marvin Gaye, Watts si unì ad un gruppo locale chiamato “Final Decision” con l’intenzione di studiare contabilità nel caso la sua carriera da musicista avesse fallito. Pagina 7 di 33 Detroit: Il motore musicale della città, ed un piccolo Watts In quella città chiamata Detroit, che viveva e respirava di musica, stava sviluppandosi un fenomeno musicale molto importante, un fenomeno che aumentò al di fuori di quella grande città del Michigan, e che attraverso il 20° secolo lasciò un impronta indelebile nel moderno Rhythm and blues, strisciando infine nella musica popolare di moda, mainstream. Esattamente come l’espansione nel settore automobilistico, alimentato dal grasso e la sporcizia degli operai di auto di quel periodo con tanto sudore e fatica, nel frattempo il motore sonoro della città (che mano a mano divenne “accampamento” e meta turistica per molte leggende musicali), si forgiava con il sudore e l’anima di musicisti magistrali quali cantanti e produttori stellari, musicisti di fama mondiale etc, che influirono nella creazione di nuove virtuali hit musicali con un fresco e nuovissimo sound. Molte di quelle hit venivano sfornate nel seminterrato di una piccola casa di proprietà di Berry Gordy JR. e soprannominata “Hitsville USA” dal suo proprietario. È proprio in questo studio di registrazione che si forgiava la storia musicale della città, come un energia combustibile che alimentava un corteo di registrazioni esemplari. I musicisti “di casa” (ovvero coloro che ero abitualmente gli “ospiti” che registravano giorno dopo giorno) si chiamavano “The Funk Brothers”. Probabilmente erano ben consapevoli di cosa accadeva in quel posto e di quanta creatività si sprigionava durante quelle sezioni di lavoro in quel seminterrato, ma forse erano ancora meno consapevoli del fatto che alcune delle loro note musicali della Motown, sfuggirono attraverso le piccole finestre della Hitsville ridondando ed echeggiando nell’anima di un giovane ragazzo di Detroit chiamato “Nathan Lamar Watts” che era al di fuori della struttura cercando di ascoltare

    NARRATIVE EXPERIENCES OF SCHOOL COUNSELLORS USING CONVERSATION PEACE, A PEER MEDIATION PROGRAM BASED IN RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. by HEATHER M. MAIN B.Ed., University of British Columbia, 1982 Dipl.E.C.E., University of British Columbia, 1987 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Counselling Psychology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2008 © Heather M. Main, 2008 11 Abstract This study narratively explores the experiences of five public school counsellors and one high school teacher using Conversation Peace, a restorative action peer mediation program published jointly in 2001 by Fraser Region Community Justice Initiatives Association (CJI), Langley, British Columbia, Canada, and School District #35, Langley, British Columbia, Canada. This categorical-content analysis (Lieblich, Tuval-Mashiach, & Zilber, 1998) resulted in data describing 20 common themes, 12 with similar responses, and 8 with varying responses amongst participants. Two of the similar findings were the crucial importance of(a) confidentiality within the mediation process, and (b) the school counsellor’s role within the overall and day-to-day implementation of this peer mediation program. Two of the varying findings were (a) the time involvement of the school counsellor within the peer mediation program, and (b) the differences in the number of trained peer mediators and peer mediations within schools. 111 .Table of Contents Abstract ii Table of Contents iii List

  • Read an Excerpt
    The Artist Alive: Explorations in Music, Art & Theology, by Christopher Pramuk (Winona, MN: Anselm Academic, 2019). Copyright © 2019 by Christopher Pramuk. All rights reserved. www.anselmacademic.org. Introduction Seeds of Awareness This book is inspired by an undergraduate course called “Music, Art, and Theology,” one of the most popular classes I teach and probably the course I’ve most enjoyed teaching. The reasons for this may be as straightforward as they are worthy of lament. In an era when study of the arts has become a practical afterthought, a “luxury” squeezed out of tight education budgets and shrinking liberal arts curricula, people intuitively yearn for spaces where they can explore together the landscape of the human heart opened up by music and, more generally, the arts. All kinds of people are attracted to the arts, but I have found that young adults especially, seeking something deeper and more worthy of their questions than what they find in highly quantitative and STEM-oriented curricula, are drawn into the horizon of the ineffable where the arts take us. Across some twenty-five years in the classroom, over and over again it has been my experience that young people of diverse religious, racial, and economic backgrounds, when given the opportunity, are eager to plumb the wellsprings of spirit where art commingles with the divine-human drama of faith. From my childhood to the present day, my own spirituality1 or way of being in the world has been profoundly shaped by music, not least its capacity to carry me beyond myself and into communion with the mysterious, transcendent dimension of reality.

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.
