Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi- Cultural Tonality
Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi- Cultural Tonality By Carlo Estolano Commentaries for the PhD folio of compositions University of York Music December 2017 2 3 Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi-Cultural Tonality Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of a PhD degree in Music at The University of York, December 2018 by Carlo Estolano. Abstract This folio is conceived to propose and demonstrate music realisation of original compositions throughout the employment of elements of mainly two distinct sources: a selection from the wide palette of Brazilian folk styles that have improvisation as a strong element, which is internationally acknowledged as Brazilian Jazz; and its intersections with a certain style of European Jazz represented by artists notable by their keenness to combine elements from distinct musical genres with their Classical background, such as Ralph Towner, Jan Garbarek, John Abercrombie, Eberhard Weber, Kenny Wheeler, Terje Rypdal, Keith Jarrett to name a few. Both Brazilian and European approaches to Jazz seem to share processes of appropriation of foreign musical languages, as well as utilising characteristic features of their own traditions. Another common ground is their relation with some elements and procedures of classical music. The methodology to accomplish an organized collection of musical material was to divide them in five major influences, part of them by composers and part by genres notable by having evolved through absorbing elements from distinct cultural sources. In five projects, fifteen original compositions are provided along with their recorded and/or filmed performances and commentaries about the compositional aspects, concerningthe style or composer focused on.

Knut Rössler Johannes Vogt
KNUT RÖSSLER Knut Rössler was born in 1945. For him the jazz of the late ’and early ’(jazz as he first got to know it) was the music of the young generation. The freedom of improvisation fascinated him from the outset. After playing a number of different instruments, and venturing into pop and rock in the late ’and early ‘– more a lifestyle choice than a musical decision, Rössler only began to seriously devote himself to the saxophone and flute and the fundamentals of music, at age thirty. In the following years, he became involved in all forms of music making, from duo, trio, quartet and quintet to big band. Festival gigs, radio recordings and tours throughout Europe followed, as well as an East- Asia tour for the Goethe-Institute. His work is documented on ’ and ’ with Joachim ü Hal Galper, Janusz Stefanski, Alphonse Mouzon, Christoph Spendel, Pax Wallace, Christian Scheuber, Christoph Kaiser, Werner Goos, Joachim Fuchs, Georg Lawall, and many others. His sound on the saxophone is strongly influenced by South-Indian classical music, as well as some European musicians such as Jan Garbarek. The happy encounter with lutenist Johannes Vogt triggered a strong fascination for old European music and the European music traditions. A fascination that is reflected and brought into a harmonious balance with his other interests, influences and roots in the group “the Timesú. JOHANNES VOGT Johannes Vogt was born in 1953 in Bochum, where he gained his first stage experience as an electric guitarist. He later studied classical guitar, lute and musicology in Heidelberg, where he lives and works today.

We will admit to a certain trepidation towards modern social technology and media for the past few years but who are we not to take advantage of New York@Night something that can benefit our valued readers? Some of you may already have 4 guessed what this means while others are still scratching their heads, wondering what on earth “modern social technology” means. Anyway, we’ve started Interview: Danilo Pérez tweeting. Check us out on Twitter (@AAJNY) for pithy reviews of the various 6 by Terrell Holmes shows we attend nightly (and wonder if we ever sleep), just more evidence of how jazz in New York City is a simple matter of schedule and stamina. Artist Feature: Dado Moroni Of course we are still fully committed to so-called dead-only-to-survive print 7 by Thomas Conrad media and this issue is brimming full of our usual offerings, amazingly international in scope.

Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water
Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water Here is someone standing at the entrance to the gallery who goes on talking all the time while almost all the visitors who come are rushing by in their eagerness to inspect what is on show inside. The hall a little way beyond is packed with rare and wonderful things, beautifully laid out and informatively labelled. There is much to see, much to learn. This is what the visitors have come for. Why, then, linger at the doorway? Why wait? But you, you have stopped. Thank you. Yes, this is the gallery, this the exhibition: a catalogue. We can use the word either to mean this paper object you hold in your hands or the totality of items a publisher or, as in this case, record company has available for sale: the CATALOGUE, as we may put it. Such a CATALOGUE is changeable as the ocean is: things will go (though rarely, where ECM is concerned), more will come. The catalogue, on the other hand, is fixed, a photograph of the ocean. There was a moment, probably before it reached print, when the catalogue was identical with the CATALOGUE. But that moment has passed and will not come again, for the ocean is growing and the photograph cannot. Is the catalogue therefore impoverished? No, no more than a photograph is. This is no snapshot, no fuzzy image trapped half_thoughtlessly on a mobile phone. Look at what you have in your hands: this is something well made, something composed. A professional photographer must have been invited to make a study of the ocean.

Miroslav Vitous: Universal Syncopations ECM 1863 038 506-2
“Jazz Without Moment” Miroslav Vitous: Universal Syncopations ECM 1863 038 506-2 If musicians appear on a record without ever playing together, are they a band? If the music they improvise is recorded at different times by playing to a tape, is it “jazz?” These are the questions which underlie consideration of Miroslav Vitous’ new ECM release, Universal Syncopations. The arc of the bassist’s career is a study in the power of the right idea at the wrong moment. On the strength of some New York City jam sessions, Mr. Vitous got the call to play with Roy Haynes on Chick Corea’s third solo album. The product was Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, the 1968 disc which moved Mr. Corea to leading-artist status as both player and composer. Mr. Vitous’ virtuostic if somewhat formulaic performance on that record earned him a solo turn the following year, Mountain in the Clouds for Atlantic. This fine disc featured a who’s who of the New York scene of the day, including such well-known players as John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock and Jack DeJohnette. After a very brief visit with Miles Davis’ band, Mr. Vitous went on to form a new avant-garde free/electronic group with the saxophonist Wayne Shorter and keyboardist Josef Zawinul. The result is documented on Weather Report’s first record, I Sing the Body Electric. In fairly short order, though, the other two leaders decided to turn from astronomy (i.e. space exploration) to physics (through the mode of fusion). Mr. Vitous was gone, the band turned toward more formal compositions and the rest is history.

Miroslav Vitous Universal Syncopations II
ECM Miroslav Vitous Universal Syncopations II Miroslav Vitous: double-bass; Randy Brecker: trumpet; Gary Campbell: soprano and tenor saxophone; Bob Mintzer: tenor saxophone, bass clarinet; Bob Malach: tenor saxophone; Daniele di Bonaventura: bandoneon; Vesna Vaško-Cáceres: voice; Gerald Cleaver, Adam Nussbaum: drums. ECM 2013 CD 6025 171 8357 (5) Release: June 2007 “Universal Syncopations II” – recorded between November 2004 and April 2005 - features music for ensemble, orchestra and choir composed, archived, arranged, directed, produced and engineered by Miroslav Vitous. The mutli-gifted bassist began work on “Universal Syncopations II” immediately after completing its critically acclaimed predecessor. (Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik Bestenliste 1/2004; Jazz Review, Editor’s Choice; Jazz Magazine, Disque d’émoi; Jazzman, Choc de l’année; Jazzman, Choc du mois; Répertoire, Recommandé; Stereoplay, CD des Monats; La Liberté, Coup de cœur, etc. etc.) Aware that the constellation of high-profile soloists featured on the first Syncopations disc – Garbarek, Corea, DeJohnette, McLaughlin - was not about to become ‘a band’, Vitous sought to make integrated ensemble playing one of the focal points of the new recording. Soloists include outstanding players of the post-fusion era - : Randy Brecker, Bob Malach, Bob Mintzer, Gary Campbell – all four making their ECM debuts. The core group for most of this disc’s length features drummer Gerald Cleaver and saxophonist Campbell, players who have toured extensively with Miroslav in recent seasons. “Almost all the ensemble playing is live this time,” Miroslav notes. “Universal Syncopations II” nonetheless proposes a wider stylistic range than volume one, as orchestral colours now swirl around its shifting cast of modern jazz players and choirs loom out of the mix.

Recorded Jazz in the Early 21St Century
Recorded Jazz in the Early 21st Century: A Consumer Guide by Tom Hull Copyright © 2016 Tom Hull. Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................................1 The Consumer Guide: People....................................................................................................................7 The Consumer Guide: Groups................................................................................................................119 Reissues and Vault Music.......................................................................................................................139 Introduction: 1 Introduction This book exists because Robert Christgau asked me to write a Jazz Consumer Guide column for the Village Voice. As Music Editor for the Voice, he had come up with the Consumer Guide format back in 1969. His original format was twenty records, each accorded a single-paragraph review ending with a letter grade. His domain was rock and roll, but his taste and interests ranged widely, so his CGs regularly featured country, blues, folk, reggae, jazz, and later world (especially African), hip-hop, and electronica. Aside from two years off working for Newsday (when his Consumer Guide was published monthly in Creem), the Voice published his columns more-or-less monthly up to 2006, when new owners purged most of the Senior Editors. Since then he's continued writing in the format for a series of Webzines -- MSN Music, Medium,
