  • Oliver Nelson E Le Variazioni Sul Blues
    1 Angelo Peli ‘The Blues and the Abstract Truth’: Oliver Nelson e le variazioni sul Blues Esplorazioni nei territori di confine tra Hard Bop, Soul Jazz e Avant-Garde 2 INTRODUZIONE Oliver Nelson (1932, St.Louis – 1975, Los Angeles), polistrumentista, arrangiatore, compositore e didatta tra i più preparati e prolifici della storia del jazz, si è espresso in ogni campo con grande personalità ed originalità, sostenuto da una dedizione alla professione spinta ai limiti dell’umana resistenza. Nei caotici fermenti degli anni ’60 Nelson si è distinto per l’autonomia di pensiero e azione: la sua arte non risulta omologabile ad una particolare corrente musicale, così come le sue idee ed esternazioni riguardo la condizione dei neri afro-americani rappresentano interessanti testimonianze fuori dal coro degli artisti-militanti in voga in quegli anni. Come molti musicisti afro-americani prima e dopo di lui, Nelson ha intrapreso la carriera jazzistica più per necessità che per vocazione, vedendosi preclusa ogni possibilità nell’ambito della musica ‘colta’ a causa del colore della pelle; il Blues, da lui indicato con slancio poetico e orgoglio di razza come la Verità Assoluta (The Abstract Truth), è stato il suo costante punto di riferimento e la sua inesauribile fonte di ispirazione. Ringraziamo sentitamente il Dr. Wolfram Knauer, direttore del Jazzinstitut di Darmstad, senza la cui squisita disponibilità questo lavoro monografico, primo in Europa a quanto ci è dato sapere, non sarebbe stato possibile. A.P. 3 PREMESSA Termini come hard bop, soul jazz e avant-garde, entrati di prepotenza nel vocabolario jazzistico a partire dalla seconda metà degli anni ’50, sembrano contrassegnare inconciliabili fazioni contrapposte, regioni geografiche collocate agli antipodi.

  • John Goldsby Biography Since 1994, John Goldsby Has Been a Member of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk Big Band (Also Known As The
    John Goldsby Biography Since 1994, John Goldsby has been a member of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk Big Band (also known as the WDR Big Band or the Cologne Radio Big Band). From 1980 to 1994, Goldsby lived in New York City and was a fixture on the jazz scene there. He continues to contribute to the art form as a bassist, bandleader, composer, teacher, clinician and author. The son of a Baptist minister, John was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. He played piano, guitar, and electric bass before taking up the double bass at age 18. His early musical experiences include work with hometown jazz greats Jimmy Raney, Helen Humes, and Jamey Aebersold. In 1979, John got a gig with the house trio at a jazz club in Louisville that brought in famous jazz soloists to play with the trio. For almost one year, John played with some of the legends of jazz including: Jay McShann, Buddy Tate, Johnny Hartman, Barney Kessel, Tom Harrell, Dave Liebman, Buddy DeFranco, and others. When this gig ended, John knew he had to relocate to New York. In 1980, he put his bass in the car and made his move. After moving to New York, John found himself in good company with all of the other young players on the scene. His first experiences with the established New York elite included gigs with Albert Dailey, Sal Nestico, John Hicks, Benny Bailey and Bob Wilber. During his years in New York, Goldsby recorded with many world-class musicians, including Scott Hamilton, Randy Sandke, Michael Brecker, Mel Lewis, Toshiko Akyoshi, John Lewis, and the American Jazz Orchestra.

  • Julius Watkins and the Evolution of the Jazz French Horn Genre
    JULIUS WATKINS AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE JAZZ FRENCH HORN GENRE By PATRICK GREGORY SMITH A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Patrick Gregory Smith This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Donald A. Carlson (1948-2001). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In my efforts to “channel Julius” I have had support and guidance from numerous individuals who deserve my heartfelt thanks and personal gratitude. I cannot overstate my appreciation for my degree supervisor, Dr. David Z. Kushner. With his enthusiasm, teachings, and inspiration, he has helped to increase my passion for music history and, in turn, made me a more competent educator. Throughout my dissertation writing period, he provided support, sound advice, good company and plentiful commentary. I would have been lost without him. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Basler for his guidance, mentorship, empathy and musicality. His encouragement for the performance of non-traditional repertoire for our instrument has caused a significant broadening in my own musical tastes. He has been a teacher and a colleague, and because of him, I am a better horn player and, ultimately, a better person. I would like to thank the other members of my supervisory committee, Dr. Art Jennings, Dr. Leslie Odom, and Dr. Eldon Turner, for their individual help and insightful teachings over the previous semesters. I am grateful to Dr. John Duff whose endless encouragement and generosity in supporting my musicological endeavors has been most appreciated.

  • Jersey Jazz Society Dedicated to the Performance, Promotion and Preservation of Jazz
    Volume 37 • Issue 8 September 2009 Journal of the New Jersey Jazz Society Dedicated to the performance, promotion and preservation of jazz. At Home with the Field trip to Queens Armstrongs with jazz station WBGO Saturday 9 AM meeting time Adid not deter jazz lovers who met in front of jazz radio station WBGO’s Newark studios on July 25, to board a chartered bus bound for the Queens, NY home of Louis and Lucille Armstrong. WBGO staffers Gary Walker, Dorthaan Kirk, David Rosenak, Bill O’Donnell, and Grey Johnson, many familiar voices, welcomed a large group of Jersey listeners who instantly felt like friends. Walker quizzed us to see how many had ever before visited the house, now a museum and archive of Armstrong’s legacy. Seems as though we’d all been waiting for someone to take us by the hand. Making a stop in Manhattan to pick up more WBGO members, the bus filled to capacity. This was the first such trip sponsored by the station; it sold out quickly, and will likely be repeated to accommodate many who had to be turned away.

  • Contemporary Jazz Musicians' Work At
    Jazz Goes to the Movies: Contemporary Jazz Musicians’ Work at the Intersections of the Jazz and Film Art Worlds Gretchen L. Carlson Frederick, MD Bachelor of Arts, Music, Gettysburg College, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, Psychology, Gettysburg College, 2009 Master of Arts, Jazz History and Research, Rutgers University-Newark, 2011 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia, May 2016 © Copyright by Gretchen Lynne Carlson All Rights Reserved May 2016 i ABSTRACT Jazz music has a long history in cinema soundtracks. Its on-screen representations have been widely discussed by jazz scholars and critics alike. But what happens behind-the-scenes in jazz soundtrack production? Why are certain filmmakers interested in engaging jazz artists to create soundtracks for their films? How do jazz artists then negotiate the clash of their own creativity and practices with the reality of film industry conventions and hierarchies? This dissertation investigates contemporary jazz musicians’ work within the film industry from a sociological and ethnographic perspective. I examine the relationships and tensions between jazz artists’ creative autonomy and their “work-for-hire” statuses within film industry hierarchies, read alongside critical examinations of their relationships with particular directors, the directors’ goals and interests, filmmaking risk ideologies, and the artists’ own musical productions. I theorize this work as operating at the intersections of the jazz and film “art worlds.” Drawing on Howard Becker’s conceptualization of the term, I understand each art world as an art-work-producing cooperative network structured around shared conventions.
