    Bio information: JOHN SURMAN Title: FLASHPOINT: NDR JAZZ WORKSHOP – APRIL '69 (Cuneiform Rune 315-316) Cuneiform publicity/promotion dept.: (301) 589-8894 / fax (301) 589-1819 email: joyce [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com [Press & world radio]; radio [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com [North American radio] www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ One of Europe’s foremost jazz musicians, John Surman is a masterful improvisor, composer, and multi-instrumentalist (baritone and soprano sax, bass clarinet, and synthesizers/electronics). For 45 years, he has been a major force, producing a prodigious and creative body of work that expands beyond jazz. Surman’s extensive discography as a leader and a side man numbers more than 100 recordings to date. Surman has worked with dozens of prominent artists worldwide, including John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath, Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, Jack DeJohnette, Terje Rypdal, Weather Report, Karin Krog, Bill Frisell, Paul Motian and many more. Surman is probably most popularly known for his longstanding association with the German label ECM, who began releasing Surman’s recordings in 1979. Surman has won numerous jazz polls and awards and a number of important commissions. Every period of his career is filled with highlights, which is why Cuneiform is exceedingly proud to release for the first time ever this amazing document of the late 60s 'Brit-jazz' scene. Born in Tavistock, in England, Surman discovered music as a child, singing as soprano soloist in a Plymouth-area choir. He later bought a second- hand clarinet, took lessons from a Royal Marine Band clarinetist, and began playing traditional Dixieland jazz at local jazz clubs.

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.

  • An Assessment of Psychoacoustical Models in The
    Abstract A simple system for recognizing music is presented, based on various musical descriptors, num- bers that describe some aspect of the music. Various descriptors are discussed; in particular, a novel descriptor, the floor-1 cepstral coefficient (F1CC) measure, a refinement of MFCCs based on the Vorbis psychoacoustical model is presented and evaluated. Also, various forms of statistical dimensionality reduction, among them PCA and LDA, are considered in the present context. Finally, a few directions for future work are discussed. vii viii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my advisor Jan Tro, who patiently provided feedback and guidance over the course of the entire semester. However, several other people have played important roles: Greg Maxwell originally proposed the idea that eventually led to the develop- ment of F1CCs, and Chris Montgomery provided helpful guidance on the internals of the Vorbis encoder. Mette Langaas helped with various insights on statistics, in particular dimensionality reduction. H˚avard Midtkil provided his entire music collection in FLAC format as data mate- rial, saving countless hours of ripping labor. Finally, Rune Holm and Magne Mæhre proofread the manuscript at various stages, providing invaluable feedback, corrections and suggestions. ix x Contents Abstract vii Acknowledgments ix Contents xi 1 Introduction 1 1.1 MusicInformationRetrieval . ....... 1 1.2 Aimofstudy ...................................... 2 1.3 Structure ....................................... 2 1.4 Previouswork.................................... 2 2 Audio descriptors 5 2.1 Motivation ...................................... 5 2.2 Formaldescription ............................... .... 5 2.3 Desiredproperties ............................... .... 6 2.4 Distortionandnoise .............................. .... 7 2.5 Choiceofsourcefragment . ..... 9 2.6 Basicmusicaldescriptors . ...... 9 2.7 Humandescriptors ................................ 13 3 Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) 15 3.1 Psychoacoustical motivation .

CLASSICAL LEGAL NATURALISM AND THE POLITICS OF JOHN MARSHALL'S CONSTITUTIONAL JURISPRUDENCE ROBERT LOWRY CLINTON* INTRODUCTION For many scholars, John Marshall has been a great puzzle. Although Marshall is venerated as the "Great Chief Justice" by almost everyone; his jurisprudence has not been regarded as highly, or as thoughtfully, as it ought to have been by most contemporary judges and commentators. Christopher Wolfe stated the problem bluntly almost a decade-and-a-half ago, noting that the "almost unchallenged understanding of Marshall today" is comprised in a view "which dismisses his own statements as words 'well and finely said' but not to be taken seriously."' Happily, the appearance of excellent Marshall studies by such scholars as Charles Hobson and Herbert Johnson during the past few years has ameliorated the situation somewhat.' Still, I think a fair assessment of Marshall's position today would nonetheless confirm the lingering truth of Wolfe's observation.

In December 1973, it added guitarist Allan Holdsworth (recently with Jon Hiseman’s Tempest, and previously Nucleus) to its line-up, which then consisted of Soft Machine founding member and keyboardist Mike Ratledge, along with pianist and saxophonist Karl Jenkins, bass player Roy Babbington, and drummer John Marshall. Jenkins and Ratledge then composed a whole new repertoire, which the band road-tested on extensive tours of North America and continental Europe in the first half of 1974. That material eventually made up Soft Machine’s eighth recording, the first not named after its order of release: the album Bundles, widely acknowledged as a jazz-rock / fusion classic. When released by EMI’s Harvest Label in early 1975, Bundles would secure Soft Machine’s role in the transcontinental jazz-rock pantheon alongside Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra in the USA, and Nucleus, Brand X, and Isotope in the UK. Soft Machine’s status in the international jazz/rock avant-garde was widely apparent even before Bundles’ official release.
