»By Eric Harabadian GOSPEL»Photos By Michael Weintrob OFGOOD D N A EVIL Rachel Z and Her Trio Embark on a Fervent Jazz Caravan achel Z wears all black. Purple angel wings jut out from her back as she stands in front Rof an ominous sky. With her pasty white skin and dark eye shadow, the pianist resembles late-night horror TV host Elvira or Siouxsie Sioux of the ’80s alternative band The Banshees—an image a bit more macabre than that of a traditional jazz artist. “Jazz is not dead!! It is alive and well right here!!” The paradox between the words and imagery on the promotional flyer for Z’s new eponymous CD from her trio, The Dept. Of Good And Evil, offers a bold and brash invitation to discover what possible musical inventions Z and her group have in store. Z serves as the musical temptress, so to speak. “A lot of people were looking at the flyers and wondering what to make of my band, my look,” Z said before a March show with the trio at the Firefly Club in Ann Arbor, Mich. “I had to laugh because my friends who know me would see the humor in it right away.” The inside joke lays in Z’s penchant for layer- ing dark chords and ominous 20th century classical harmonies—dubbed playfully as the “evil” by a fellow musician—over the upbeat and swinging “good” grooves of her rhythm section. The Dept. Of Good And Evil includes drummer Bobbie Rae and bassist Maeve Royce. “We wanted to go with the Dept.

Dept. of Good and Evil Featuring Rachel Z
DEPT. OF GOOD AND EVIL FEATURING RACHEL Z Savoy Jazz 17630 March 13 Release As fearless in her eclectic, ever evolving approach to jazz piano as she is bold in creating sweeping thematic concepts, Rachel Z has proven masterful over the course of eight solo releases in bridging both generations and genres. Stylishly blending her bebop and progressive jazz sensibilities with an equal affinity for the most exciting pop and rock artists of the past few decades, she’s fashioned groundbreaking tributes to the female artists who have inspired her ( A Room Of One’s Own ), saxophone legend and frequent collaborator Wayne Shorter ( On The Milkyway Express ), Joni Mitchell ( Moon At The Window ) and—on her most recent three recordings, which include occasional originals and vocals—fascinating re- workings of songs made famous by The Rolling Stones, in New York. Rachel decided to formalize her band with a new Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, U2 and Nine Inch Nails, name when she realized the level of collaboration that was among others. happening when the ensemble was together. Declaring to the world, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that “jazz “The album is really about taking great pop and Goth tunes to is not dead, it is alive and right here!,” Rachel’s latest another unexpected level,” says Rachel. “I loved the Good and fascinating creative stop Dept.

JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.
