    Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67

    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

Annie Brings Crowds To Har Shalom The last weekend of January saw near-capacity crowds filling the Burke Sanctuary for the Har Shalom Players’ (HSP) two performances of the musical, Annie. Recognized by co-producers Stew Remer and Ken Lechter as one of the top-attended shows in HSP’s 14 years of productions, Annie brought together actors from the congregation and other local community theater groups, production and tech crews, and talented musicians. It indeed took a special community to pull off a live production such as this one. With a combined 78 individuals among the production team, crew, orchestra, and actors (including children from eleven area schools), Annie shared a message of hope and optimism with Har Shalom congregants and theater-goers in the surrounding area.

Voulgaris A Thesis in the Field of History for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 © November 2016, Panos John Voulgaris Abstract The rhetoric and life of Muhammad Ali greatly influenced the advancement of African Americans. How did the words of Ali impact the development of black America in the twentieth century? What role does Ali hold in history? Ali was a supremely talented artist in the boxing ring, but he was also acutely aware of his cultural significance. The essential question that must be answered is how Ali went from being one of the most reviled people in white America to an icon of humanitarianism for all people. He sought knowledge through personal experience and human interaction and was profoundly influenced by his own upbringing in the throes of Louisville’s Jim Crow segregation.

We also envisioned the Center to be one that called upon Muhammad’s core principles to encourage visitors to become good global citizens and carry on Muhammad’s legacy of finding common ground with others, while actively pursuing humanitarian opportunities to create a better world for all people. Like the “Lighthouse” Muhammad often drew, we want the Muhammad Ali Center to be a personal symbol of global understanding, that welcomes everyone to share in Muhammad’s vision of hope for building a better world, united under our common Annual Report 2015 banner of humanity. In this report, you will read about our humanitarian programs and activities. You’ll discover how these initiatives are inspired by Muhammad’s six core principles: Confidence, Conviction, Dedication, Giving, Respect and Spirituality. We feel a tremendous debt of gratitude to all who have shared our vision and have supported us over the past ten years. The great citizens of Louisville and Kentucky helped open the Muhammad Ali Center and we will always be grateful. The friendship and support of good friends and dedicated fans around the world have helped make the Muhammad Ali Center a global gathering place that has welcomed guests from more than 5 100 countries.

    Milton Friedman, Anna Schwartz, and a Monetary History of the US

    Milton Friedman, Anna Schwartz, and A Monetary History of the US Thomas S. Coleman∗ Draft – February 21, 2019 PEOPLE: Milton Friedman, Anna Schwartz RELATED: Inflation, monetary stimulus, Quantitative Easing DATES: A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960 was published in 1963. Friedman and Schwarz’s book was preceded and followed by substantial work on monetary policy and monetary history. CHICAGO: Milton Friedman is one of the best-known economists to have taught at University of Chicago. Anna Schwartz was Friedman’s co-author and collaborator, associated with the NBER REFERENCES: A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960, particularly chapter 7 VIGNETTE Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz published their book A Monetary History of the United States in 1963; in doing so re-wrote monetary theory and history. In fact, it is only something of an exaggeration to say their research saved the world during the 2008 financial crisis. To see why we need to delve into monetary history, starting with the financial crisis and depression of 1907-08, following the thread through the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the 1930s Great Depression, Friedman and Schwartz’s revisions of monetary history (1960s), Ben Bernanke’s acknowledgement (in 2002) of the Fed’s role in creating the 1930s Great Depression, and finally the Fed’s 2008 response with QE1’s massive liquidity injection. Understanding the role of banks, money, and the Fed ties together the three episodes (the 1907-08 depression, the 1930s Great Depression, and the 2008 financial crisis) and illuminates how and why these differed.
