Rock Music of the 1960'S Rock Music of the 1960’s Continued….. ò In the sixties rock music comes of age and dominates the popular music charts. ò Elvis Presley continues to score hits in the early part of the decade, but the music continues to diversify. ò The Motown, Stax and Atlantic labels bring more African- American artists to the forefront of the pop charts. ò By 1964 American artists are sharing the top of the charts with U.K. bands led by the Beatles and The Rolling Stones. ò In the U.S. garage bands emerge, inspired by the British Invasion sound. ò Sixties songwriting moves beyond pop love songs and begins to include social consciousness and political statements. ò In the latter half of the decade psychedelic music reflects the growing hippie culture. ò Bubblegum music is created to generate radio friendly pop singles. ò A harder rock sound emerges and sows the seeds for heavy metal. What about T.V.? ò Just like in the Nixon/Kennedy debates, T.V. plays a major role. ò Television becomes a major force in rock music as networks try to attract a younger audience. ò American Bandstand continues with it's afternoon, clean-cut, teen idol format, while the Ed Sullivan Show and other TV variety shows begin showcasing rock bands in prime time. The Outdoor Music Festival ò In the late sixties outdoor rock music festivals begin. ò First with 1967's Monterey Pop Festival which attracts 55,000 fans per day to a three day concert. ò In the summer of 1969 the Woodstock Music and Art Fair draws 500,000 people to a three day concert in Bethel, New York.

  • Monterey Pop Festival: Otis Redding / Jimi Hendrix
    Der folgende Text erschien zuerst in: Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung 5.4, 2010, S. 501 - 505. Er findet sich nun auch im „Archiv der Rockumentaries“ der Zeitschrift Rock and Pop in the Movies: Ein Journal zur Analyse von Rock- und Popmusikfilmen. ZWEI NACHTRÄGE ZUM MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL: OTIS REDDING / JIMI HENDRIX Claus Tieber Rund 20 Jahre nach MONTEREY POP [1] machten D.A. Pennebaker und Chris Hegedus aus dem 1968 gedrehten Material zwei weitere Filme, in deren Mittelpunkt die Auftritte von Otis Redding und Jimi Hendrix stehen. Beide Shows sind vollständig dokumentiert, die Filme dauern 19 (Redding) bzw. 49 Minuten (Hendrix) und werden sowohl aus inhaltlichen wie aus pragmatischen Gründen zumeist gemeinsam gezeigt. Die beiden Shows heben sich aus unterschiedlichen Gründen vom Rest des Festivals ab – und das nicht nur, weil Redding und Hendrix die beiden einzigen afro-amerikanischen Musiker des Festivals waren. Beide Filme sind in der DVD-Box The Complete Monterey Pop Festival der Criterion Collection (Ausg. 167) enthalten (3 DVDs, USA 2002, kein Regional-Code). SHAKE! OTIS AT MONTEREY USA 1989 R: Don A.

  • From Del Ray to Monterey Pop Festival
    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic From Del Ray to Monterey Pop Festival Alexandria Times, February 11, 2016 Image: The Momas and the Popas. Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. t the center of Alexandria’s connection to rock and folk music fame was John Phillips. Born in South A Carolina, John and his family lived in Del Ray for much of his childhood. He attended George Washington High School, like Cass Elliot and Jim Morrison, graduating in 1953. He met and then married his high school sweetheart, Susie Adams, with whom he had two children, Jeffrey and Mackenzie, who later became famous in her own right. Phillips and Adams lived in the Belle Haven area after high school, but John left his young family at their Fairfax County home to start a folk music group called the Journeymen in New York City. The new group included lifelong friend and collaborator Philip Bondheim, later known as Scott McKenzie, also from Del Ray. The young men had met through their mothers, who were close friends. While in New York, John’s romantic interests turned elsewhere and he told Susie he would not be returning to her. Soon after, he married his second wife, Michelle Gilliam, who was barely out of her teens. They had one daughter, Chynna, who also gained fame as a singer. Gilliam and Phillips joined two former members of a group called the Mugwumps, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot to form The Mamas and the Papas in 1965. This photo from that time shows Gilliam and Doherty to the left, Phillips and Elliot to the right, and fellow Alexandrian Bondheim at the center.

  • Harvey Kubernik's End of the Year Interview with Travis Edward Pike
    What’s New at Otherworld Cottage? HK: Thank you for that, but I was referring to the IMDb links you’ve provided whenever you cite your movie industry Harvey Kubernik’s End of the Year colleagues. Interview with Travis Edward Pike TP: Naming them just wasn’t enough. Your recent article, “The Wrecking Crew,” about the studio musicians who actually played the tracks for some of the most popular recordings of our times, and until your cover story in Record Collector News, were essentially unknown, is indicative of how much of our entertainment industry is, like an iceberg, hidden below the surface. I’ve worked with, and been mentored by some extraordinary motion picture professionals, whose work is widely recognized as outstanding, but who are, themselves, unknown to the general public. People are dazzled by the final results, but rarely know much about the talents who make it all possible. My department heads and mentors included line producer Britt Lomond; (co-producer on Sword of Heaven and Crystalstone, UPM on Somewhere in Time, 1st AD on Purple Rain, and 2nd Unit Director on Midnight Run). George Costello was Britt’s production designer on Crystalstone, but he was also the art director for The Terminator, and The Sword and the Sorcerer. You knew that in 2014, Director of Photography and Visual Effects SupervisorPeter Anderson, received the Gordon E. Sawyer Special Oscar “For Technical Contributions that have brought Credit to the Industry.” I first met him in 1982 at Disney Studios, when I was working on Betsy Baytos’ production of the Betsy and Thumper promotion for the re-release of Bambi.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

    - 1 - ANNEXURE Credo Theory of Music training programme GRADE 5 By S. J. Cloete Copyright reserved © 2017 BLUES (JAZZ). (Unisa learners only) WHAT IS THE BLUES? The Blues is a musical genre* originated by African Americans in the Deep South of the USA around the end of the 19th century. The genre developed from roots in African musical traditions, African-American work songs, spirituals and folk music. The first appearance of the Blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery in America. The slavery was a sad time in history and this melancholic sound is heard in Blues music. The Blues, ubiquitous in jazz and rock ‘n’ roll music, is characterized by the call-and- response* pattern, the blues scale (which you are about to learn) and specific chord progressions*, of which the twelve-bar blues* is the most common. Blue notes*, usually 3rds or 5ths flattened in pitch, are also an essential part of the sound. A swing* rhythm and walking bass* are commonly used in blues, country music, jazz, etc. * Musical genre: It is a conventional category that identifies some music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions, e.g. the blues, or classical music or opera, etc. They share a certain “basic musical language”. * Call-and-response pattern: It is a succession of two distinct phrases, usually played by different musicians (groups), where the second phrase is heard as a direct commentary on or response to the first. It can be traced back to African music. * Chord progressions: The blues follows a certain chord progression and the th th 7 b harmonic 7 (blues 7 ) is used much of the time (e.g.

  • MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960S Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 P.M., ENS-280
    MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960s Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 p.m., ENS-280 Instructor: Eric Smigel ([email protected]) M-235, office hours: Mondays & Tuesdays, 3:00–4:00 p.m. This is a lecture class that surveys psychedelic rock music and culture of the 1960s. Psychedelic music played an important role in the development of rock music as a predominant art form during one of the most formative decades in American history. Emerging along with the powerful counterculture of hippies in the mid-1960s, psychedelic rock reflects key elements of the “Love Generation,” including the peace movement, the sexual revolution, the pervasive use of recreational drugs (especially marijuana and LSD), and the growing awareness of Eastern philosophy. The main centers of countercultural activity—the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the London Underground—drew a high volume of media exposure, resulting in the famous “Summer of Love” and culminating in popular music festivals in Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont. Students in this course will examine the music and lyrics of a selection of representative songs by The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and other bands closely associated with the burgeoning psychedelic scene. Students will also consult primary source material—including interviews with several of the musicians, influential literature of the period, and essays by key figures of the movement—in order to gain insight into the social, political,
