ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my professors at the University of Florida for their help and encouragement in this endeavor. An extra special thanks to my mentor through this process, Dr. Paul Richards, whose forward-thinking approach to music made this possible. Dr. James P. Sain introduced me to new ways to think about composition; Scott Wilson showed me other ways of understanding jazz pedagogy. I also thank my colleagues at Florida A&M University for their encouragement and support of this endeavor, especially Dr. Kawachi Clemons and Professor Lindsey Sarjeant. I am fortunate to be able to call you friends. I also acknowledge my friends, relatives and business partners who helped convince me that I wasn’t insane for going back to school at my age.

  • Western Cape Jazz Legends
    Western Cape Jazz Legends Foreword The Western Cape Jazz legends which unveiled on 17 March 2011 pays homage to the rich jazz heritage of the Western Cape. The publishing of the Western Cape Jazz Legends Booklet gives a wider audience access to an appreciation of the contribution of these musicians who often plied their trade under the most difficult circumstances and with very little material reward. The short biographies are informed by existing literature and interviews conducted with family members. The list is by no means comprehensive but it does indicate our resolve to give homage, to acknowledge, to preserve and to promote the rich musical heritage of the Western Cape. Documenting our musical history not only ensures that the impact of the role of these legends on the musical landscape of the Western Cape is captured for posterity, but also that their stories serve as a source of inspiration to aspiring musicians. This booklet represents an important step towards the building of a socially inclusive Western Cape. These Jazz Legends united us around our common love for music and the unique sounds of Cape Town Jazz. Let’s celebrate their achievement and resolve that we will continue to build on this initiative to acknowledge our musicians who created musical melodies which filled us with joy, often leaving us in awe of their amazing talent and with a deep sense of self-worth and cultural warmth. Dr IH Meyer Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Western cape Government. Western Cape Jazz Legends 1 2 Western Cape Jazz Legends IntroductIon The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport has embedded in its vision, “… A socially cohesive and creative Western Cape.” The arts and culture component of the department has embraced this vision and the Western Cape Jazz Legends project is reflective thereof.

Contact, 8. pp. 33-34. ISSN 0308-5066. ! 33 February 23: Central Hall, University of York BROTHERHOOD OF BREATH Chris MacGregor's Brotherhood of Breath arrived at York rather spasmodically; giving rise to that refreshing unpunctuality characteristic of jazz gigs where the audience, unlike any other concert audience, are happy to sit leisurely for the odd half-hour before the band actually gets to blm._r. The music was continuous, following the pattern set in the last few years of allowing one number to flow into the next, usually by ·way ·of a completely imDrovised transition. Much of the material was free; space for the next written theme was prepared by several abortive attempts by drummer Louis Moholo and bassist Harry t1iller to establish a steady pulse. When the horns refused to co-operate the beat would disintegrate by ¥ay of increasingly complex rhythmic embellishments. .. a very dense and sometimes impenetrable r.ass of sound. It is this, maybe, which gives much contemporary jazz its apparently static quality. At times a total of eight horn parts blanketed in percussion made it impossible to listen to the progress of any one instrument; one perceived a statistical field of sound, defined by extremes of register and the emergence of rapid successions of attacks. But there is movement, usually very gradual, eventually unstoppable. Here there were players of experience capable of making a crescendo run for five or six minutes, staying at the top for several more, and bringing things down just when they, as a body, wished.

    1 Vol 15 Issue 01 – 02 January 2007 Introduction UNYAZI Jürgen Bräuninger Associate Professor School of Music University of KwaZulu-Natal Durban 4041 South Africa [email protected] http://www.music.ukzn.ac.za Keywords Unyazi, electronic music, computer music, festival, symposium, workshops, concerts, lectures, South Africa, 2005 Abstract A summary of the first South African electro-acoustic music symposium/festival which took place in Johannesburg, 1-4 September 2005, reviewing its concerts, workshops, and lectures by local and international composers and researchers. Introduction South Africa is famous for many things but certainly not for its electronic music production. However, 35 years after the first electroacoustic music studio was constructed around an ARP-2500 synthesizer at the University of Natal, a small but dedicated number of computer music artists has evolved in the Johannesburg-Cape Town- Durban triangle, and university music departments across the country are now offering music technology courses. In 2003, feeling that it was about time to map the scene and to give it a boost simultaneously, NewMusicSA (the South African section of the International Society for Contemporary Music) proposed an electronic music symposium/festival with Dimitri Voudouris in charge of proceedings. After two years of networking, planning and fundraising, UNYAZI (the isiZulu word for lightning) took place 1-4 September 2005 at all three venues of the Wits Theatre complex in Johannesburg, assembling an illustrious group of local and international electronic music practitioners. Diversity was the obvious festival concept. Halim El-Dabh, who as early as 1944 experimented with a wire recorder in Cairo's radio station, presented some of his vintage works.

Both Smith and Moholo-Moholo have been leading their own groups for nearly five decades but this recording also continues a long line of duo recordings by each of them, in Smith’s case, particularly with drummers (Ed Blackwell, Adam Rudolph, Günter “Baby” Sommer, Jack DeJohnette et al.) and, in Moholo-Moholo’s case, particularly with pianists (Irene Schweizer, Cecil Taylor, John Law, Keith Tippett, Stan Tracey, Marilyn Crispell et al.). Although the two first played together already in the 1970s and occasionally since that time, this is their first recording together. Of his duo companion on this recording, Smith says that “Louis Moholo-Moholo is one of the most unusual artists I have ever played with. Louis has created a drumming practice that does not transfer African drumming onto the drum set but, rather, he has developed a drum tradition that did not exist anywhere in the music before he created his own language.

Johnny Dyani – an African Musician in Europe „I feel that my bass is part of me. I used to sleep with my bass in the bed when I used to get high. My wife used to think it was weird, but she knew because I used to explain to her.“ 1 1. Sharp and Flat The location: Ronnie Scott’s jazz club, London, the time: the late sixties. Charles Mingus is in town. The larger-than-life bassist makes the acquaintance of another powerful bass individualist: Johnny Dyani. Somehow, the South African exile manages the near-impossible: to convince Mingus to let him play with his group. We don’t have Mingus‘ version of this encounter. Johnny Dyani’s story goes as follows: 2 Mingus came to me and he said to me, „Can you read“?“ I said, „No“. He said, „I can read“. I said, „Good for you“, and he was making all funny comments. Then we played [....] When we finished (and it was a helluva night, I’m telling you), he said to me, „You sounded sharp“. So I said, „You sounded flat.“ It takes more than just a bit of self-confidence to confront Charles Mingus – a „mercurial“ personality, euphemistically said - in this way.

  • LOUIS MOHOLO OCTET Spirits Rejoice!
    DESCRIPTION Otoroku present the first vinyl reissue of Louis Moholo Octet 's Spirits Rejoice! , originally released in 1978 on Ogun Recordings. One of the most legendary free jazz records ever produced, Spirits Rejoice! is a high achievement in the movement of the era as it soars beyond oppression with a raucous and spiritually uplifting surge of movement and melody. Featuring Harry Miller , Johnny Dyani , Keith Tippett , Evan Parker , Nick Evans , Radu Malfatti , and Kenny Wheeler , this is former Blue Note artist Louis Moholo 's first album under his own name and is a classic example of the cross-pollination between South African and British players. Mongezi Feza 's 'You Ain't Gonna Know Me 'Cos You Think You Know Me" alone is enough to make your life a better place. Made with permission and in association with Ogun Recordings. Features an exact reproduction of the original artwork and liner notes, along with new liner notes from Matthew Wright . Remastered by Giuseppe IIelasi . High gloss sleeve; edition of 1000. From Matthew Wright's new liner notes: "The South African melodies, now so familiar, were wholeheartedly taken on board by the individual musicians, their LOUIS MOHOLO OCTET unity of purpose mirroring the belief in the strength of the collective. Stunning solos, often close to the edge, feature throughout -- Evan Parker and Keith Tippett Spirits Rejoice! on 'Shine Wherever You Are'; the contrasting trombone styles of Nick Evans and Radu Malfatti on 'You Ain't Gonna Know Me...'; the octet sounding like a full big Label band; and behind them, the relentlessly rhythmic urgency of the piano, bass and OTOROKU drums.
