Heller, PhD Hybridity and Identity in the Pan-American Jazz Piano Tradition William D. Scott, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The term Latin jazz has often been employed by record labels, critics, and musicians alike to denote idioms ranging from Afro-Cuban music, to Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and more broadly to Latin American fusions with jazz. While many of these genres have coexisted under the Latin jazz heading in one manifestation or another, Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez uses the expression “Pan-American jazz” to account for both the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition and non-Cuban Latin American fusions with jazz. Throughout this dissertation, I unpack the notion of Pan-American jazz from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Latinx identity discourse, transcription and musical analysis, and hybridity theory.

  • July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO Come to Wolf Trap
    July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO come to Wolf Trap By Roger Catlin For a generation of Americans, the earliest love of classical music came not through shared family symphony experiences or early childhood music appreciation classes, but through mayhem-laced TV cartoons, often involving a bunny in drag. Walt Disney may have taken the high road to classical music interpretation through some early Silly Symphony cartoons and “Fantasia” (which in its first run was a flop). But it was Warner Bros. and particularly the animators behind Bugs Bunny who may have been the most successful in drumming key classical passages into the heads of impressionable audiences when the studio’s theatrical cartoons of the 1940s and ’50s were incessantly replayed on TV in the ’60s. Warner Bros. - Still image from the 1950's Merrie Melodies short, “What's Opera, Doc?” Even today, the most serious gray-haired music lover, sitting in the world’s most august concert halls, may be listening to the timeless refrains of Rossini or Wagner only to have the phrase “Kill the Wabbit!” come to mind. Conductor George Daugherty has embraced this meld of classical knowledge and pop-culture conditioning and celebrates it in his “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony.” Its first tour, in 1990, was such a success that it spawned, as most successes in Hollywood do, a sequel. “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II” comes to Wolf Trap on Thursday and Friday, with Daugherty conducting the National Symphony Orchestra. In its honor, we pause to hail the greatest uses of classical music by Warner Bros.

  • Glen Gould Scriabin Prokofiev Sp Corner
    Scriabin Piano Sonata No.3 in F sharp minor, Op.23 Prokofiev Piano Sonata No.7 in B flat minor, Op.83 Glenn Gould (piano) Recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studio during July 1967 and January, February and June 1968 Producer: Andrew Kazdin Sound Engineers: Fred Plaut and Milton Cherin Speakers Corner 180gm LP: MS 7173 Performance: 3/4/5 Glen Gould isn’t usually associated with Russian music, so this Speakers Corner LP is an intriguing prospect. In both works Vladimir Horowitz (HMV LP and Original Jackets) has been used for comparison. The Drammatico first movement of Scriabin’s Third Sonata has an opening metronome marking of sixty four quarter notes; here Gould is suitably measured, which enables him to convey some of the mood of quiet melancholy that underpins the work, he uses old-school tempo and dynamic variation, rubato, discrete pedal control and will highlight an inner voice or rhythm. Given that in Bach and music of the Classical period Gould was often noted for his brisk tempi, it may come as a surprise to find that he ignores the last movements Presto con fuoco marking and underplays the difference between the Allegretto and Andante movements. Nevertheless this is a powerful - if somewhat emotionally detached - account of an under-rated masterwork Prokofiev’s Seventh is probably his best known sonata and again the word power best describes Gould’s approach to the work. He pounds out the opening theme, yet relaxes for the second thematic group, but then ruins everything with a loud, brutal account of the Andante caloroso slow movement; which is a pity, because his fast and furious boogie- woogie approach to the finale is compelling.
