  • The Social Work of Music a Musician's Path to Change
    ALUMNI GAZETTE The Social Work of Music Jazz composer and pianist Darrell Grant ’84E measures his success not only by how his music sounds, but also by what it does. b y Karen McCally ’02 (PhD) Darrell Grant ’84E has been a celebrat- ed jazz composer and pianist since early in his career, when his first solo project, Black Art (Criss Cross), was named by the New York Times as one of the top 10 jazz recordings of 1994. In 1997, he took an unusual step for a ris- ing jazz artist. He moved out of New York City to Portland, Oregon, a place much less known for its jazz scene. Grant and his wife, Anne McFall ’85E, who studied viola at Eastman, were eager to start a new life there. Yet it was also a place Grant felt would allow him, to a far greater extent than in New York City, to form meaningful connections with audi- ences and with his community. “One of the things I was interested in was the idea of doing well by doing good,” says Grant, who teaches at Portland State University. “If you’re going to create some- thing, you get to determine the measures for success. And something I always want- ed to figure out was ways to connect my musical projects to something broader in VaLuE(S)-aDDED: In a variety of projects, Grant seeks to integrate his music with his values. the community.” ESSAY This past fall, Grant contributed an es- say for a special edition of Chamber Mu- sic magazine (see “A Musician’s Path to A Musician’s Path to Change Change”).

  • Remembering Hugh Masekela: the Horn Player with a Shrewd Ear for Music of the Day
    1/24/2018 Remembering Hugh Masekela: the horn player with a shrewd ear for music of the day Academic rigour, journalistic flair Remembering Hugh Masekela: the horn player with a shrewd ear for music of the day October 29, 2017 1.12pm SAST •Updated January 23, 2018 10.13am SAST Hugh Masekela performing during the 16th Cape Town International Jazz Festival. Esa Alexander/The Times Trumpeter, flugelhorn-player, singer, composer and activist Hugh Ramapolo Masekela Author has passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer. When he cancelled his appearance last year at the Johannesburg Joy of Jazz Festival, taking time out to deal with his serious health issues, fans were forced to return to his recorded opus for reminders of his unique work. Listening through that half-century of Gwen Ansell Associate of the Gordon Institute for disks, the nature and scope of the trumpeter’s achievement becomes clear. Business Science, University of Pretoria Masekela had two early horn heroes. The first was part-mythical: the life of jazz great Bix Biederbecke filtered through Kirk Douglas’s acting and Harry James’s trumpet, in the 1950 movie “Young Man With A Horn”. Masekela saw the film as a schoolboy at the Harlem Bioscope in Johannesburg’s Sophiatown. The erstwhile chorister resolved “then and there to become a trumpet player”. The second horn hero, unsurprisingly, was Miles Davis. And while Masekela’s accessible, storytelling style and lyrical instrumental tone are very different, he shared one important characteristic with the American: his life and music were marked by constant reinvention.

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.
