    Bio information: THE CLAUDIA QUINTET Title: SUPER PETITE (Cuneiform Rune 427) Format: CD / DIGITAL RELEASE DATE: JUNE 24, 2016 Cuneiform promotion dept: (301) 589-8894 / fax (301) 589-1819 email: joyce [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (Press & world radio); radio [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (North American & world radio) www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ / POST-JAZZ Acclaimed Drummer-Composer John Hollenbeck Pens Rich, Complex Tunes for an Era of Short Attention Spans on The Claudia Quintet's 8th album – Super Petite – a Potent Package that Condenses Virtuoso Playing and a Wealth of Ideas into Ten Compact Songs Short doesn’t necessarily mean simple. Drummer-composer John Hollenbeck acrobatically explores the dichotomy between brevity and complexity on Super Petite, the eighth release by the critically acclaimed, proudly eccentric Claudia Quintet. The oxymoronic title of the band’s newest album on Cuneiform Records captures the essence of its ten new compositions, which pack all of the wit and virtuosity that listeners have come to expect from the Claudia Quintet into the time frame of radio-friendly pop songs. As always, Hollenbeck’s uncategorizable music – which bridges the worlds of modern jazz and new music in surprising and inventive ways - is realized by Claudia’s longstanding line-up: clarinetist/tenor saxophonist Chris Speed, vibraphonist Matt Moran, bassist Drew Gress, and accordionist Red Wierenga. Over the course of 19 years and 8 albums, the band has forged an astounding chemistry and become expert at juggling mind-boggling dexterity with inviting emotion and spirit. Like the band’s name, the title Super Petite originated as an affectionate nickname for one of the band’s fans.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

Anthony Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Music in Jazz Studies YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2012 Improvisational Devices of Jazz Guitarist Adam Rogers on the Thelonious Monk Composition “Let’s Cool One” John J. Anthony I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: John J. Anthony, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Morgan, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Kent Engelhardt, Committee Member Date Dr. Randall Goldberg, Committee Member Date Dr. Glenn Schaft, Committee Member Date Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies and Research Date ABSTRACT Adam Rogers is one of the most influential jazz guitarists in the world today. This thesis offers a transcription and analysis of his improvisation on the Thelonious Monk composition “Let’s Cool One” which demonstrates five improvisational devices that define Rogers’s approach over this composition: micro-harmonization, rhythmic displacement, motivic development, thematic improvisation, and phrase rhythm. This thesis presents a window into the aesthetics of contemporary jazz improvisation and offers a prism for conceptualizing not only the work of Adam Rogers, but
