Studienblatt / degree A 066 836 programme code as it appears on the student record sheet: Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt / degree Masterstudium Musikwissenschaft programme as it appears on the student record sheet: Betreut von / Supervisor: Dr. Oliver Seibt Danksagung Inmitten von Überlegungen stehend, welchem Thema ich mich in meiner Masterarbeit widmen wolle, stolperte ich zufällig in ein Gespräch mit meinem späteren Betreuer Oliver Seibt über Jazz und Paris. Er erzählte von einem Forschungsausflug nach Paris, bei dem er mit Studierenden aus Frankfurt den historischen Spuren des Jazz in Paris gefolgt sei. Sympathisiert teilte ich ihm meinen Wunsch mit, eine Forschungsarbeit zu schreiben, die Paris und Jazz verbinden könne. So brachte er mich auf das Imaginäre, das urban imaginary von Paris in Verbindung mit Jazz: Kein geeigneteres Thema hätte ich mir als Abschluss meines Masterstudiums vorstellen können, deshalb danke ich zuallererst Oliver Seibt für seine Inspiration und die Unterstützung. Diese Arbeit zu schreiben war kein leichtes Unterfangen – ohne meinen Freund Fips Funk hätte ich die nötige Kraft nicht aufgebracht. Auch nicht ohne die Wahnsinns-Unterstützung meiner KommilitonInnen fürs Leben, den „fleißigen Bienchen“ Eva-Maria Bauer, Stefana Mihaicuta, Stephan Steiner, Martina Mühlbauer, Felix Biller, Sarah Blum und Carmen Rosenkranz. Und wo wäre ich erst ohne die unersetzbare Liebe und Unterstützung meiner Familie und Freunde? Belma Balci, Murat Üregen, Berfin Üregen, Irem Balci, Ferhat Arslan, Konuray Mutluer und Jasmin, ich danke euch von ganzen Herzen. Auf ein neues Kapitel. Wien, Juni 2017 Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.

  • Starten Met Jazz
    Themalijst Starten met Jazz Inleiding De Openbare Bibliotheek Kortrijk heeft een zeer uitgebreide jazzcollectie een paar duizend cd’s en een paar duizend vinylelpees) waardoor het voor een leek moeilijk is het bos door de bomen te zien. Ik zie voor de leek die iets meer wil weten ver jazzmuziek drie opties: 1. Je komt naar de Bib en grasduint wat in onze fantastische collectie. Grote kans dat je de ‘verkeerde’ cd’s meeneemt en voorgoed de jazz afzweert. Wat jammer zou zijn.. 2. Je neemt enkel verzamel-cd’s mee, bijvoorbeeld de Klara cd’s 3. Ok, dan heb je een staalkaart van het beste wat er ooit verschenen is en wil je misschien nog iets dieper gaan, meer exploreren, meer voelen wat échte jazz is.. Dan lees je 4. De beknopte lijst hieronder die chronologisch in enkele tientallen cd’s je wegwijs maakt in de verschillende subgenres van de jazz. Verwacht geen uitgebreide biografieën of discografieën maar een kort situeren van de belangrijkste stromingen met haar prominentste vertegenwoordigers. Dit is alleen maar een kennismaking, een aanzet. Maar dit document probeert een chronologisch overzicht te geven met de belangrijkste namen per sub genre. Als je van al deze artiesten één cd beluisterd hebt, kan je al wat meepraten voor jazz. Het is belangrijk op te merken dat al die sub genres soms zeer lang blijven en zelfs heropleven. Uiteraard overlappen ze elkaar in de tijd. En weinig muzikanten beperken zich echt tot één stijl. Jazzrecensent Mark Van den Hoof stelt dat na de jaren ‘60 niets nieuws meer gebeurde in de jazz en dat men zich beperkt tot het spelen in de stijlen van de vorige eeuw.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

  • French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.

  • Django Reinhardt: the Journey of the Gypsy King
    Django Reinhardt: The Journey of the Gypsy King [Minor Swing ] [Black Slide] Introduction: The ideas of art music and folk music have always been separate and somewhat black and white. The virtuosity of performance and the complexity of composition have largely defined art music—just as simplicity and relatability have done that for folk music. To combine the two styles of music for creation’s sake is not a new musical idea, but historically the end product generally has seemed to privilege and to lean more towards art music rather than folk. Django Reinhardt, however, is one of the first musicians to ever take it in the other direction, elevating folk influences to be on a par with classical ones. His ability to take simple rhythms and melody lines and add complex virtuosic guitar improvisation over those melodies are what make the gypsy style so innovative, aesthetically rewarding, accessible, and historically influential. His contributions in gypsy jazz have left their mark on other styles of music such as blues, rock and roll, bluegrass and other jazz styles. Furthermore, if we were to mention the greatest guitar players of the last century, we would have to include Django Reinhardt on the list. 1:15 History of Django and his disability: As with most European gypsies, the Reinhardt family was constantly on the move. Therefore, the story of Django Reinhardt's birth is somewhat unclear. However, we do know that he was born somewhere near a little town called Liberchies in Belgium in a gypsy encampment on January 23 rd , 1910. He was named Jean-Baptiste Reinhardt, and as with most gypsy children, he was given a nickname.
