It started with my parents Dennis and Celeste, and continued through important High School teachers like Mr. Handlen, and life-changing undergraduate professors like Dr. Jesse Swan. It culminated with the insights and invaluable support of my dissertation committee: John Watkins, Shirley Nelson Garner, Gordon Hirsch, and Kelley Harness. Thanks for your guidance in my life and the part you played in helping me complete this project. As I have worked on this dissertation, I have become the proud father of two lovely daughters, Eleanor and Abigail. Even as they have learned their first words, they‘ve helped me think about sirens, or as Eleanor prefers mermaids, in new ways. Thank you Eleanor and Abigail for making the best of the times that I couldn‘t take you to the park, play dress up, or eat your imaginary culinary delights. For her encouragement, her patience, and her unwavering faith in me, I thank my wife, Beth. Though certainly not a siren, you are, after all, the only temptation I shall ever pursue. i Dedication To Beth, Eleanor, and Abigail: the inspirations for my songs.

I had done a couple of CDs; one was with my brother Elvin and Richard Davis, the bass player. They made – – I think they made two releases from that date. And I did another date with Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci. But, these two albums were the objects of the promotion. I mean, they promote very, very heavily everyday. I must have had 40 interviews and about 30 record signings at the record shops, plus all of the recording. We did seven concerts and people inevitably want the records, CDs of the concert for us to sign. I have a trio over there, with Jimmy Cobb and John Fink. It was called, “The Great Jazz Trio.” It was not my name, but the Japanese have special names for everything, you know? That's only one in a series of tree others which he called the great jazz trio. The first one was Ron Carter, Tony Williams and myself. But, there had been a succession of different changes in personnel. It changed about six times. The current one was Jimmy Cobb and Dave Fink--Oh, the cookies have arrived and not a minute too soon.

Nun, sich das Handwerk anzueignen, das war für den jungen Arrangeur aus Cleveland kein Problem, und die guten Ideen wurden immer besser. Nach einigen Jahren als Arrangeur für Swing-Bands beginnt Tadd Dameron die komplexe und schnelle Musik der Bebop-Pioniere ins Grossformat zu übertragen, und er gilt bald als wichtigster Bebop-Arrangeur. Tadd Dameron selber hat über seine Arrangements allerdings gesagt, er achte stets darauf, dass sich die Stücke langsam und kohärent entwickeln, so wie wenn man ein Buch lese.

  • Visual Intelligence in Painting / Robert Sokolowski
    PART II: CIVIUZATION AND THE ARTS VISUAL INTELLIGENCE IN PAINTING 1 Robert Sokolowski 1. Introduction Philosophers have long agreed that thinking is expressed in the use of language, that we "think in the medium of words."2 It is also true, however, that we think in the medium of pictures, and it is likely that these two ways of thinking are interrelated; certainly, we could not think in pictures if we did not have words, and perhaps we could not use words, in principle, unless we were also engaged in some sort of picturing, at least in our imagination. An ideographic language like Chinese would give greater support to the latter possibility than would our phonetically based form of writing. Philosophically, words and pictures can be used to illuminate one another and to shed light on what it is to think. In both words and pictures, we deal with compositions, and in both cases the compositions are, to use a phrase of Michael Oakeshott, "exhibitions of intelligence.''3 There is a difference between the two that we notice immediately: spoken words are fleeting and pictures are durable; words and pictures differ in their temporality. They also differ in other ways that are philosophically important. Let us explore these differences. 1 This essay has also appeared in the Review of Metaphysics. Reprinted with permission. 2 The phrase is from David Braine, The Human Person: Animal and Spirit (Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 1992), p. xxii. 3 See Michael Oakeshott, On Human Conduct (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1975), p. 15: "Thus the movement of a human eyelid is a categorially ambiguous identity; it may be a wink or a blink, a wink which is an exhibition of intelligence, a subscription to a 'practice' and has a reason, and a blink which is a component of a 'process' to be understood in terms of a 'law' or a 'cause'."

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.
