AM 8:05 2aAAa1. Introduction and overview—Libraries as a building type and reflections of multipurpose trends that have an acoustical impact. Dennis Paoletti (Paoletti Consulting, 708 Foothill Dr., San Mateo, CA 94402, [email protected]) Libraries have developed from vast storehouses of bookshelves and hard covered manuscripts and literary materials to vibrant com- munity centers and true multipurpose facilities, acoustically. This paper will discuss the: history of libraries, politics of libraries, archi- tectural design of libraries, acoustical design of libraries, and the future of libraries. Examples of library projects ranging from main urban public libraries and university library systems to a number of smaller, standalone local community libraries. will provide interest- ing insight into the variety of activities that go on today in libraries that challenge the best of our acoustical design sensibilities and con- trols. Libraries share the basic acoustical parameters of many other building types, e.g., open plan spaces, offices and conference rooms, cafes, and even digital/multimedia and performing arts facilities. Lessons learned from challenging consulting efforts, especially when budgets are limited, will be explored and discussed. 8:25 2aAAa2. Soundscape of the evolving library. Gary W. Siebein, Hyun Paek, Marylin Roa, Keely Siebein, Jennifer R. Miller, Gary Sie- bein, and Matthew Vetterick (Siebein Assoc., Inc., 625 NW 60th St., Ste. C, Gainesville, FL 32607, [email protected]) Historically libraries were thought of as places of quiet reading and research. There were 2 general acoustical design approaches to reading rooms in libraries. One was to use large volume spaces with sound reflective materials that amplified every sound made in the room so that people would be self-conscious of the sounds that they made. A second approach was to design rooms with sound absorbent finishes that would reduce the spread of sounds from one part of the space to another. The evolving library of the future has many more complex functions and rich programs than the traditional library. Many of these encourage discussion, recreation, public involvement, experiencing multi-sensory media in addition to traditional books and a variety of other activities such as coffee shops, community meet- ing rooms, auditoriums, recording studios, listening rooms for amplified audio, interactive computer work stations, collaborative work/ study areas where students can gather, talk, view and listen in active sessions all in close proximity to each other. Case studies of 2 libra- ries will be presented to identify links between soundscape design issues, architectural planning strategies and practical systems for designing the library of the future as it continues to rapidly evolve in concept. 8:45 2aAAa3. Recording room trends in libraries. Nicole Cuff (Acentech, 33 Moulton St., Cambridge, MA 02138, [email protected]) The use of libraries in communities and universities continue to evolve to where now there is a trend toward recording rooms in pub- lic and university libraries. One such space is a recording suite in a public library intended for the community to use, teens to seniors, with fully amplified bands next to study spaces, with control equipment available for patrons to use. Another in a private university is a podcast suite that overlooks a 4-story glass Atrium, which will be the new central meeting place on campus. The author even personally used recording studio space immediately adjacent to quiet study space at a private university library with their singing group to record an album. Some of the strategies used to make these spaces work together acoustically will be discussed. 1695 J. Acoust. Soc. Am., Vol. 145, No. 3, Pt. 2, March 2019 177th Meeting: Acoustical Society of America 1695 9:05 2aAAa4. Acoustic conditions in two libraries at the University of Nebraska. William Spallino (Durham School of Architectural Eng. and Construction, Univ. of Nebraska-Lincoln, 1110 S 67th St. #210C, Omaha, NE 68182, [email protected]) and Lily M. Wang (Durham School of Architectural Eng. and Construction, Univ. of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE) University libraries serve many roles for students, from group gathering places to quiet study spaces; this makes analyzing and opti- mizing their acoustics very worthwhile. This paper reviews the acoustics of both main areas and small-group study rooms at the Univer- sity of Nebraska—Omaha’s Criss Library and the University of Nebraska—Lincoln’s Love Library. Sound level meters were used to log sound levels in the two libraries over multiple days. Those data were then analyzed to understand the libraries’ soundscapes through metrics like average sound levels, statistical sound levels, and occurrence rates of specific sound levels. Impulse responses and transmis- sion loss of partitions were also measured. From those analyses, conclusions are drawn about the acoustic behavior of the libraries and its appropriateness for their purpose. 9:25 2aAAa5. West Hollywood Library—More than just another pretty space. K. Anthony Hoover (McKay Conant Hoover, 5655 Lin- dero Canyon Rd., Ste. 325, Westlake Village, CA 91362, [email protected]) The West Hollywood Library is a 35 000 sqft branch of the County of Los Angeles Library, with construction funded by the City and operated by the County. It serves as a cultural and artistic community center, and includes a children’s library, teen center, career de- velopment center, special collections, cafe, bookstore, two parking garages, community meeting room, and multipurpose public meeting room (for council and commission meetings, performances, and other uses). An ornamental wood ceiling, the wood stage in the multi- purpose meeting room, the children’s reading room, and the overall aesthetic presented interesting challenges for acoustics. Visual aes- thetic and acoustic performance aspects will be discussed, along with references to various other library projects. 9:45 2aAAa6. Acoustics and AV technology of modern collegiate learning centers. David S. Woolworth (Roland, Woolworth & Assoc., 356 CR 102, Oxford, MS 38655, [email protected]) and William Roland (Roland, Woolworth & Assoc., Meridian, MS) Many universities are creating new dedicated spaces for interactive learning that can host all subjects and a more modern and holistic approach to collegiate education. In order to achieve high performance facilities that mix classrooms, testing rooms, collaborative spaces, offices, and counseling all together, acoustical and audio visual requirements must be coordinated early in the project with the end user, with room to adjust to changing programming and technology. This paper presents 3 case studies of repurposed and new colle- giate construction and outlines the types of program requirements and the approach to acoustics and audio visual for these projects. 10:05–10:20 Break 10:20 2aAAa7. Acoustical design for libraries in schools to comply with ANSI S12.60. Bennett M. Brooks (Brooks Acoust. Corp., 30 La- fayette Square - Ste. 103, Vernon, CT 06066, [email protected]) In K-12 schools, the library functional space is now usually called the media center, as this space houses and disseminates informa- tion that is stored on both print and digital media. These spaces have fewer sound absorbent book stacks than were found in previous print-only libraries. Instead, computer workstations for student access to local and web-based material are provided. Often these facili- ties are used as group learning spaces, with several group classes occurring simultaneously. These changes to the traditional school library space present challenges to the acoustical design. Another challenge is that in a number of school districts across the US, a media center must be designed to meet the requirements of ANSI/ASA 12.60-2010/Part 1, “American National Standard Acoustical Perform- ance Criteria, Design Requirements and Guidelines for Schools, Part 1: Permanent Schools,” also known as the “Classroom acoustics standard.” This is because a media center can be defined as a core learning space that is subject to that standard, with its requirements for low noise and reverberation, and for higher sound isolation from adjacent spaces. Several case studies are presented which highlight the design challenges for modern school media centers, and the successful design solutions. 10:40 2aAAa8. Considerations for media center design in unconventional environments. Melvin Saunders (None, 1601 Elm St., Fl. 33, Dallas, TX 75201, [email protected]) The consolidation and simplification of media in production environments has rapidly changed the way that many businesses de- velop content. Rather than outsourcing media development, many clients have undertaken the task to develop content for both internal and external consumption by building in-house media centers. This paper will focus on some of the lessons learned for these types of projects from both a remediation and new construction process. Acoustical solutions for projects of varying budget and scope including room

For 45 years, he has been a major force, producing a prodigious and creative body of work that expands beyond jazz. Surman’s extensive discography as a leader and a side man numbers more than 100 recordings to date. Surman has worked with dozens of prominent artists worldwide, including John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath, Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, Jack DeJohnette, Terje Rypdal, Weather Report, Karin Krog, Bill Frisell, Paul Motian and many more. Surman is probably most popularly known for his longstanding association with the German label ECM, who began releasing Surman’s recordings in 1979. Surman has won numerous jazz polls and awards and a number of important commissions. Every period of his career is filled with highlights, which is why Cuneiform is exceedingly proud to release for the first time ever this amazing document of the late 60s 'Brit-jazz' scene. Born in Tavistock, in England, Surman discovered music as a child, singing as soprano soloist in a Plymouth-area choir. He later bought a second- hand clarinet, took lessons from a Royal Marine Band clarinetist, and began playing traditional Dixieland jazz at local jazz clubs.

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.

  • {PDF EPUB} out of the Long Dark the Life of Ian Carr by Alyn Shipton Ian Carr
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Out of the Long Dark The Life of Ian Carr by Alyn Shipton Ian Carr. Ian Carr (21 April 1933 – 25 February 2009) was a Scottish jazz musician, composer, writer, and educator. Carr performed and recorded with the Rendell-Carr quintet and jazz-rock band Nucleus, and was an associate professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He also wrote biographies of musicians Keith Jarrett and Miles Davis. Early years. Carr was born in Dumfries, Scotland, the elder brother of Mike Carr. From 1952 to 1956, he attended King's College, now Newcastle University, where he read English Literature, [1] followed by a diploma in education. Musical career. At the age of 17 Carr started to teach himself trumpet. After university he joined his brother in a Newcastle band, the EmCee Five, from 1960 to 1962, before moving to London, where he became co-leader with Don Rendell of the Rendell–Carr quintet (1963–69). In its six years, the group (including pianist Michael Garrick, bassist Dave Green, and drummer Trevor Tomkins) made five albums for EMI – all of which have been re- issued – and performed internationally. During the 1960s he also played with the New Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Neil Ardley and recorded an album with altoist Joe Harriott. After leaving the quintet, Carr went on to form the ground-breaking jazz-rock band Nucleus. [2] This led to the release of 12 albums (some under the band's name, some under Carr's), and a successful international career.

  • What the Press Has Said About: John Surman Way Back When Cuneiform 2005
    WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT: JOHN SURMAN WAY BACK WHEN CUNEIFORM 2005 “Critical reappraisal of modern British jazz circa 1969-72, long overdue, can’t hurt John Surman. His long association with ECM chronicles a nurturing and productive relationship… What it has obscured is the passionate soloist who has done as much to expand the baritone saxophone as Steve Lacy did for the straight horn. Way Back When is thus both a good surprise and a healthy reminder. …Surman went into London’s Tangerine Studios on October 9 to record with friends John Taylor (electric piano), Brian Odgers (bass guitar), and John Marshall (drums), with Mike Osborne (alto) arriving slightly late in the game. … The hand of Miles is not so invisible, with ticking drums and a warm cushion of electric piano drawing inevitable comparisons to In A Silent Way. Roughage makes the difference. The four-part title suite features Surman on soprano with what sounds to be discreet electrification. … John Warren’s “Owlshead” gives them more to chew on. Surman finds the honeycomb and coffee flavours in the warm melody, and anticipates the vigorous poet to come. …” – Randal McIlroy, CODA, Issue 325, Jan/Feb 2006 “You could make a case for John Surman as England’s Wayne Shorter… To hear Surman at his youthful best… the previously unreleased Way Back When–a 1969 studio session teaming Surman with altoist Mike Osborne…provides a splendid introduction. …when he switches to baritone for “Owlshead” and “Out and About”–oh, boy, there wasn’t an American baritonist taking the horn up as high or down as low and exhibiting as much muscle and smarts until Hamiet Bluiett.

Thus, the only depictions of record collectors in the public domain tend to be very stereotypical and demeaning. This work aims to serve as a new starting point in how the record collector and the practices involved are viewed and understood by considering the roots of these stereotypes, which mainly stem from the work of the Frankfurt School theorists who lived during a time of great insecurity both in regards to new methods of production for cultural artefacts and art, but also their physical lives.

The result was SOS, the trio of John Surman, Mike Osborne and Alan Skidmore, saxophonists who led or played on many of the groundbreaking British jazz recordings of the late 1960s and ‘70s. Although SOS lasted less than three years, they paved the way for World Saxophone Quartet, Rova and other all-sax bands. During their brief existence, SOS recorded only one LP – a self-titled studio album for the legendary Ogun label – that has been frequently cited by critics and historians for almost 40 years as a landmark recording in British jazz history. Undoubtedly, Cuneiform’s release of Looking For The Next One, a 2-CD compilation of studio sessions and live recordings, will not only rekindle discussions about SOS’s innovative music among connoisseurs, but introduce their exciting, virtuosic music to a new generation of listeners. The inclusion of the entirety of their legendary July 1974 Balver Höhle Jazz Festival concert is a game- changer, as it reveals SOS’s penchant for connecting multiple compositions with open improvisations, an approach they did not employ on the Ogun album. The concert also documents how Surman seamlessly integrated keyboards and synthesizers – instruments that were overdubbed for SOS – into a performance, and gives more space to Skidmore’s energetic drumming than on the Ogun album.
