Donde mejor recompensa obtiene el esfuerzo por comuni- car esta oferta es sin duda en la demanda de los suscriptores de Alertas Culturales que sigue creciendo con la misma intensidad que en ediciones anteriores. Deseamos que el mismo éxito acompañe a la difusión realizada a través de la página web que ofrecen conjuntamente los Vicerrectorados de Extensión de las diez universidades públicas andaluzas, diezencultura.es Adentrándonos en la oferta cultural que realiza el Vicerrectorado, puede desta- carse que la participación en premios, concursos y otras convocatorias abiertas ha crecido notablemente, con una atención preferente al concurso de fotografía Un día en la UCA y al de Pintura rápida. Tal vez por ese mismo motivo las Exposiciones son una de las convocatorias que más alto grado de participación concitan, seguidas de las actividades relacionadas con el mundo audiovisual, particularmente Campus Cinema, y de las musicales, especialmente a través del Campus Rock y Campus Jazz. No queda a la zaga el poder de convocatoria de los Cursos Estacionales, así como el programa cultural asociado a los mismos: cine, música, conferencias. No es extraño, tampoco, que los talleres de formación de carácter musical o audiovisual sean también los que mayor expectativas y aceptación han generado. De los foros de debate, el de Presencias literarias parece haber recuperado el tono que lo había caracterizado, tras el traslado de su sede habitual a la Kursala, una nueva ubicación cuyas características han favorecido un mayor acercamiento entre autores y público. Asimismo se consolida el programa de Presencias científicas en el campus de Puerto Real, convirtiéndose en cita habitual para distintos sectores interesados en la divulgación científica. Además de las actividades organizadas por nuestro Vicerrectorado, de la mano del proyecto Atalaya, se han realizado nuevo estudios concernientes al diagnóstico de la actividad de los Vicerrectorados de Extensión Universitaria de las universida- des públicas andaluzas. Para avanzar en este proceso se ha abordado la medición de los impactos culturales en los medios de comunicación, coordinado desde Cá- diz y que ha arrojado magníficos resultados para nuestra Universidad, como puede comprobarse en la selección del dossier de prensa que acompaña a esta memoria. Desde el punto de vista económico el Vicerrectorado ha gestionado en este año 2007 un total de 766.859,30 euros. Tras esta cifra fría, como todas, se esconde una 7 prólogo lectura que me gustaría compartir: casi un 70 % de los fondos económicos que ma- nejamos (69,32 %) proceden de financiación externa a la UCA (ingresos por matrícu- la, patrocinios, subvenciones y financiación del proyecto Atalaya). Este porcentaje, también frío, creo indica bien a las claras nuestro esfuerzo y también, cómo no, el atractivo de nuestras actividades para instituciones, patrocinadores y usuarios. Pero no debo concluir estas páginas sin destacar un elemento que considero esencial. Sin dejar de potenciar la realización de distintas actuaciones en materia cultural, el Vicerrectorado, tras la superación de los procesos de Evaluación de los Servicios de Extensión y de Publicaciones, se ha volcado en la elaboración de sen- das Cartas de Servicios y ha iniciado la elaboración de los Mapas de Procesos. En el caso del de Extensión Universitaria, esta tarea ha culminado en los primeros días del 2008, gracias al apoyo de la Unidad de Calidad y al seminario impartido por el Director del Servicio. Del mismo se ofrece un resumen en las páginas siguientes. No son estas las únicas actuaciones que permiten al Vicerrectorado seguir profundizando en los procesos de evaluación y calidad. El equipo del Servicio de Extensión, de la mano del Servicio de Personal de la UCA ha realizado a lo largo del 2007 una Evaluación del Desempeño, una experiencia piloto, que ha llegado a buen puerto en diciembre de 2007 y ha sido valorada muy positivamente tanto por el Servicio de Personal como por los propios trabajadores que decidieron apostar por ella voluntariamente. Se trata pues de conocer mejor el trabajo que realiza cada uno de los miembros del Vicerrectorado para desempeñar su labor de forma más eficaz, coordinada y equilibrada y ofrecer, al mismo tiempo, un mejor servicio. Sirvan estas palabras para agradecer al equipo técnico la buena disponibilidad mostrada desde el principio para abordar esta nueva iniciativa. Por último, con el fin de potenciar

    Bio information: JOEL HARRISON, LORENZO FELICIATI, CUONG VU, ROY POWELL, DAN WEISS Title: HOLY ABYSS (Cuneiform Rune 334) Cuneiform publicity/promotion dept.: 301-589-8894 / fax 301-589-1819 email: joyce [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (Press & world radio); radio [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (North American radio) www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ “When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.” – Friedrich Nietzsche Full of foreboding and existential terror, the abyss resides in the darkest corners of the human imagination. Holy Abyss, a collaborative project between New York guitarist Joel Harrison and Italian bassist Lorenzo Feliciati, is an antidote to angst. Flowing from a deep communion between the artists, the album turns dread on its head, offering a series of expansive soundscapes full of lustrous harmonies, searching melodies and knowing interplay. Featuring trumpeter Cuong Vu, drummer Dan Weiss and Roy Powell on piano and Hammond B3 organ, the quintet reflects jazz’s increasingly international reach. Harrison and Weiss, musical comrades for many years, are New Yorkers, while longtime collaborators Feliciati and Powell hail from Rome and Oslo via the UK, respectively. Vu, who has toured and recorded with Feliciati and Powell, was born in Vietnam and is now based in Seattle, near where he grew up. The musicians are united by a passion for modern jazz unbounded by stylistic conventions. Open to sounds from around the world, they have all created music infused with electronics, odd meters, and uncommon timbres and tonal palettes. Holy Abyss opens with Harrison’s anguished ballad “Requiem for an Unknown Soldier,” which establishes the album’s elemental sensibility with its ethereal trumpet fanfare and slow burning guitar solo.

  • 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.

  • About Miguel Zenón
    About Miguel Zenón “This young musician and composer is at once reestablishing the artistic, cultural, and social tradition of jazz while creating an entirely new jazz language for the 21st century.” -- MacArthur Foundation, 2008. Multiple Grammy Nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often-contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation, he has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Latin American Folkloric Music and Jazz. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón has built a distinguished career as a leader, releasing twelve albums under his own name. In addition, he has crafted his artistic identity by dividing his time equally between working with older jazz masters and the music’s younger innovators --irrespective of styles and genres. The list of musicians Zenón has toured and/or recorded with includes: The SFJAZZ Collective, Charlie Haden, Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner, David Sánchez, Danilo Pérez, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Kurt Elling, Guillermo Klein & Los Guachos, The Jeff Ballard Trio, Antonio Sánchez, David Gilmore, Paoli Mejías, Brian Lynch, Jason Lindner, Dan Tepfer, Miles Okazaki, Dan Weiss, Ray Barreto, Andy Montañez, Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band, The Mingus Big Band, Bobby Hutcherson and Steve Coleman. As a composer he has been commissioned by SFJAZZ, The New York State Council for the Arts, Chamber Music America, NYO JAZZ, The Logan Center for The Arts, The Hyde Park Jazz Festival, The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, MIT, Jazz Reach, Peak Performances, PRISM Quartet and many of his peers.
