Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • The Piano As Percussion Instrument in Jazz
    EIGHTY-EIGHT DRUMS: THE PIANO AS PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT IN JAZZ by Thomas Andrew Van Seters A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Thomas Andrew Van Seters 2011 Eighty-eight Drums: The Piano as Percussion Instrument in Jazz Thomas Andrew Van Seters Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2011 Abstract Evidence of a link between piano and drumming performance practices in western music dates back to at least the mid-nineteenth century. The modern construction of the piano had yet to be fully standardized when percussive techniques were being applied to its keyboard. Since that time, pianists and drummers (especially those involved with the creation of groove-based music) have grown closer and closer, participating in what remains a richly symbiotic relationship. This study examines parallels between piano and drumming performance practices in jazz. In this context, drumming is acknowledged as an important inspiration guiding the expression of rhythm and percussive attack by non-drummers, pianists in particular. Historical connections between pianism and drumming in jazz are addressed through an examination of those legacies that are widely believed to derive from West African drumming, European march and dance traditions, and various aspects of the so-called "Latin tinge" from the Caribbean and South America. Playing techniques are compared in part based on the premise ii that similarities in musical output flow naturally from congruencies in instrumental architecture. Percussive action unites pianists and drummers, as do shared abilities to create rhythmic layers through the independent functioning of multiple limbs.

  • Musical, Cultural, and Personal Contexts of Jazz in the Compositions of Harold Arlen
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: A BLUE TIN PAN: MUSICAL, CULTURAL, AND PERSONAL CONTEXTS OF JAZZ IN THE COMPOSITIONS OF HAROLD ARLEN Sarah Jean England Doctor of Philosophy Musicology, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Patrick R. Warfield, Professor, Musicology This dissertation explores the compositions of songwriter Harold Arlen, viewing them as musical portraits of the immigrant experience and the racial politics of the United States in the early part of the twentieth century. This approach reveals how Arlen’s upbringing in a racially diverse neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, where Jewish American immigrants and African Americans formed the core of the community, as well as his early years playing in jazz bands and his tenure at the Cotton Club, left a permanent and indelible mark on his compositional style. I trace the influence of African American popular music on his compositional approach, structure, and style. In doing so, this dissertation adds a more nuanced view to narratives about Jewish American songwriters’ use of jazz and blues in Tin Pan Alley song by demonstrating their specific application in the works of one composer. In addition to musical function, the personal and cultural implication of jazz elements in Arlen’s music are also explored. A BLUE TIN PAN: MUSICAL, CULTURAL, AND PERSONAL CONTEXTS OF JAZZ IN THE COMPOSITIONS OF HAROLD ARLEN by Sarah Jean England, B.M., M.A. Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Advisory Committee: Dr. Patrick Warfield, Chair Dr.
