  • Jerry Goodman (Chicago, Illinois, March 16, 1949) Is an American Violinist Best Known for Playing Electric Violin in the Bands T
    Jerry Goodman (Chicago, Illinois, March 16, 1949) is an American violinist best known for playing electric violin in the bands The Flock and the jazz fusion Mahavishnu Orchestra. Goodman actually began his musical career as The Flock's roadie before joining the band on violin. Trained in the conservatory, both of his parents were in the string section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. His uncle was the noted composer and jazz pianist Marty Rubenstein. After his 1970 appearance on John McLaughlin's album My Goal's Beyond, he became a member of McLaughlin's original Mahavishnu Orchestra lineup until the band broke up in 1973, and was viewed as a soloist of equal virtuosity to McLaughlin, keyboardist Jan Hammer and drummer Billy Cobham. In 1975, after Mahavishnu, Goodman recorded the album Like Children with Mahavishnu keyboard alumnus Jan Hammer. Starting in 1985 he recorded three solo albums for Private Music -- On the Future of Aviation, Ariel, and the live album It's Alive with luminaries such as Fred Simon and Jim Hines—and went on tour with his own band, as well as with Shadowfax and The Dixie Dregs. He scored Lily Tomlin's The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe and is the featured violinist on numerous film soundtracks, including Billy Crystal's Mr. Saturday Night and Steve Martin's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels . His violin can be heard on more than fifty albums from artists ranging from Toots Thielemans to Hall & Oates to Styx to Jordan Rudess to Choking Ghost to Derek Sherinian. Goodman has appeared on four of Sherinian's solo records - Inertia (2001), Black Utopia (2003), Mythology (2004), and Blood of the Snake (2006) In 1993, Goodman joined the American instrumental band, The Dixie Dregs, fronted by guitarist Steve Morse.

  • Carlos Santana & John Mclaughlin's 1973 Masterpiece Love Devotion
    Sound Colour Vibration Carlos Santana & John McLaughlin’s 1973 Masterpiece Love Devotion Surrender Reissued As Gatefold LP With Speakers Corner | Music Reissues Posted by Sound Colour Vibration on May 5, 2015 · Leave a Comment Carlos Santana & John McLaughlin’s 1973 Masterpiece Love Devotion Surrender Reissued As Gatefold LP With Speakers Corner | Music Reissues by Erik Otis When I first read the John McLaughlin biography Go Ahead John, author Paul Stump gave the 1973 LP Love Devotion Surrender a fairly bad review and it was shortly after this lasting impression that I was exposed to the collaborative record between guitar icons Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin. Many reviews upon its release were in a more negative slant then positive and it was a shock after initially hearing it, considering how soulful, spiritual and sophisticated the music is and how much I fell in love with the album right away. In a world full of expectations and concrete view points, I can see how this album would fly over some heads during the day, taking on a much different route then pop structures spoke for of the era and even going beyond the fusion voyages of many musicians around them. An enactment of the full spiritual awakening both musicians were finding through guru Sri Chinmoy, these teachings brought them together in a unique way and they executed on stunning levels with a cast that included Larry Young (org), Doug Rauch (b), Armando Peraza (cga), Billy Cobham, Don Alias, Jan Hammer and Mike Shrieve. The incorporation of John Coltrane covers and themes inspired form his works is a staple of the record’s identity, produced and released for those who were tapping into energy far outside of the radio waves of the day.

  • University of Alberta 'Indo-Jazz Fusion'
    University of Alberta ‘Indo-Jazz Fusion’: Jazz and Karnatak Music in Contact by Tanya Kalmanovitch A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music Edmonton, Alberta Spring 2008 Abstract An inherently intercultural music, jazz presents a unique entry in the catalog of interactions between Indian music and the west. This dissertation is situated in a line of recent accounts that reappraise the period of Western colonial hegemony in India by tracing a complex continuum of historical and musical events over three centuries. It charts the historical routes by which jazz and Karnatak music have come into contact in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, both in India and abroad. It presents a detailed account of the history of jazz in India, and Indian music in jazz, and examines jazz’s contact with Karnatak music in three contexts—jazz pedagogy, intercultural collaboration, and the Indian diaspora in the United States—illustrating the musical, social and performative spaces in which these musics come into contact, and describing the specific musical and social practices, and political and social institutions that support this activity. Case studies in this dissertation include an educational exchange between the Jazz and Contemporary Music Program of the New School University (New York, NY) and the Brhaddhvani Research and Training Centre for Musics of the World (Chennai, India), directed by the author in December 2003 – January 2004; a 2001 collaboration between Irish jazz/traditional band Khanda and the Karnataka College of Percussion; and analyses of recent recordings by pianist Vijay Iyer, saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa and drummer Ravish Momin.

  • Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting…
    1 of 38 Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting… By, Rick Calic www.jazzrockworld.com March 2006 Writing an article about Jazz Rock Fusion these days might seem as pointless as debating the benefits of Hi-Fi equipment with vacuum tubes vs. transistors to someone that uses an iPod. The only people that would care are older folks who even remember tubes and dedicated enthusiasts. On the other hand, while Jazz Rock Fusion might be older or seem equally pointless to many reading this article, there remains a large but scattered segment of the world’s population that sees the genre as a vibrant and legitimate art form. Sadly though, the musical perspective regarding Jazz Rock Fusion was narrow from the beginning and will probably always be that way. Jazz Rock Fusion, in terms of the entire world of music, constitutes just a tiny fraction of interest. Yet, if we accept this as fact, which most fans, musicians and certainly “big business” does, the generation of any interest at all is meritorious. In order to discuss the music with integrity, a ground rule needs to be established. This ground rule is required due to the unsolved, long lasting, and ongoing mysteries of the music and its unique identity. Mysteries such as: What is Jazz Rock Fusion? Who started Jazz Rock Fusion? What should it be called? And finally, with no major media support why is there still a market? So, what are the answers you ask? Quite simply these mysteries will remain mysteries. Answering the questions definitively will end up as trivial as the facts regarding the creation and development of the gut bucket.

  • The Wire / March
    muso in the promisedland By Paul Stump (Reprinted from The Wire magazine: March 1996) What’s going on? Fusion, that most despised of musical genres, has suddenly become an essential reference point for musicians such as Goldie, LTJ Bukem and Howie B. In turn, a first generation fusion head like John McLaughlin is revitalising his career by exploring the new technologies of drum ’n’ bass. Paul Stump talks to McLaughlin, and discovers that everything in the jungle is rosy It’s one of the more curious phenomena of recent developments in musical taste. The movers and shakers and cutting-edge crusaders of the sonic millennium, upon whose subversions of past practice and performance rest so many needs and desires, appear more concerned with recreating the music of earlier epochs. Moreover, they are taking their cues from music which, by common consent, has long been branded as culturally and musically irredeemable (or so we thought). For instance: fusion, it seems, still counts. Even in the futuristic forests of drum ’n’ bass, the past protagonists of this most vilified of musical genres exert a powerful hold: LTJ Bukem cites Return To Forever’s Romantic Warrior as a definitive influence; Goldie goes for The Yellowjackets as his current group-of-choice. Meanwhile in these pages Howie B and The Durutti Column’s Vini Reilly have recently solemnly stated their allegiance to John McLaughlin, perhaps the greatest bête noire of that whole 70s cheesecloth-clad bacchanalia of speed, solos and Marshall amps. And so as bêtes noires go, John McLaughlin is a pretty happy one right now.

  • Electronic Music
    ELECTRONIC MUSIC Definitions Electronic music refers to music that emphasizes the use of electronic musical instruments or electronic music technology as a central aspect of the sound of the music. Basics Electronic music refers to music that emphasizes the use of electronic musical instruments or electronic music technology as a central aspect of the sound of the music. Historically electronic music was considered to be any music created with the use of electronic musical instruments or electronic processing, but in modern times, that distinction has been lost because almost all recorded music today, and the majority of live music performances, depends on extensive use of electronics. Today, the term electronic music serves to differentiate music that uses electronics as its focal point or inspiration, from music that uses electronics mainly in service of creating an intended production that may have some electronic elements in the sound but does not focus upon them. Contemporary electronic music expresses both art music forms including electronic art music, experimental music, musique concrète, and others; and popular music forms including multiple styles of dance music such as techno, house, trance, electro, breakbeat, drum and bass, industrial music, synth pop, etc. A distinction can be made between instruments that produce sound through electromechanical means as opposed to instruments that produce sound using electronic components. Examples of electromechanical instruments are the teleharmonium, Hammond B3, and the electric guitar, whereas examples of electronic instruments are a Theremin, synthesizer, and a computer. History Late 19th century to early 20th century Before electronic music, there was a growing desire for composers to use emerging technologies for musical purposes.
