  • The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development
    THE SAXOPHONE IN CHINA: HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT Jason Pockrus Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Eric M. Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.

    Nr. 5 März 2002 ► swissjazzorama jazzletter Das Schweizer Jazzmuseum Liebe Leserinnen liebe Leser Q£ Auch in dieser Ausgabe stellen wir O keinen Musiker ins Zentrum, sondern den am 22. November letzten Jahres in Genf verstorbenen Norman Granz, ei­ □ nen Impresario und Schallplatten Pro­ LU duzenten von einmaligem Zuschnitt. Er war sozusagen der Erfinder der be­ rühmten Jazz at the Philharmonie- Konzerte. Granz brachte die grossen Jazz- Koryphäen der 40er- und 5Oer-Jahre auf die Bühnen der grossen Konzert­ säle, wo man bis anhin nur klassische Musik nach Noten spielte, und Hess sie über die sogenannten Jazzstandards improvisieren. Dass dies ohne Noten ablief, versteht sich von selbst. M it diesem Jam-Session-Jazz setzte er be­ wusst einen Gegenpol zu einer Musik, bei der jede Note für jedes Instrument vom Komponisten vorausbestimmt ist. Vorausbestimmt bei den Granzschen Konzerten war lediglich das musikali­ sche Thema und die Tonart. Wir freuen uns, mit Pierre Bouru einen A utoren gewonnen zu haben, dem es auf Grund seiner langjährigen Zusammenarbeit mit Granz gelang, das Bild einer Persönlichkeit zu zeich­ nen, die - ohne selbst Musiker zu sein - den Gang der Jazzgeschichte nach­ haltig beeinflusst hat. Von Jammin’ the Blues zu Pablo: Norman Granz (6. August 1918-22. November 2001 ) Kaum einem Jazzfan ist der Name Norman ren vielfältiger Natur: lokaler Konzertorgani­ Granz kein Begriff.
