Specifically, it focuses on musical engagements between, on the one hand, the Caribbean and West Africa and, on the other, the United States and Southern Africa. It argues that the influence of diasporan music on modern African music, especially popular music, has been immense. These influences and exchanges have created a complex tapestry of musical Afro- internationalism and Afro-modernism and music has been a critical site, a soundscape, in the construction of new diasporan and African identities.

  • Top 12 Soul Jazz and Groove Releases of 2006 on the Soul Jazz Spectrum
    Top 12 Soul Jazz and Groove Releases of 2006 on the Soul Jazz Spectrum Here’s a rundown of the Top 12 albums we enjoyed the most on the Soul Jazz Spectrum in 2006 1) Trippin’ – The New Cool Collective (Vine) Imagine a big band that swings, funks, grooves and mixes together R&B, jazz, soul, Afrobeat, Latin and more of the stuff in their kitchen sink into danceable jazz. This double CD set features the Dutch ensemble in their most expansive, challenging effort to date. When you can fill two discs with great stuff and nary a dud, you’re either inspired or Vince Gill. These guys are inspired and it’s impossible to not feel gooder after listening to Trippin.’ Highly recommended. 2) On the Outset – Nick Rossi Set (Hammondbeat) It’s a blast of fresh, rare, old air. You can put Rossi up there on the Hammond B3 pedestal with skilled survivors like Dr. Lonnie Smith and Reuben Wilson. This album is relentlessly grooving, with no ballad down time. If you think back to the glory days of McGriff and McDuff, this “set” compares nicely. 3) The Body & Soul Sessions – Phillip Saisse Trio (Rendezvous) Pianist Saisse throws in a little Fender Rhodes and generally funks up standards and covers some newer tunes soulfully and exuberantly. Great, great version of Steely Dan’s “Do It Again.” Has that feel good aura of the old live Ramsey Lewis and Les McCann sides, even though a studio recording. 4) Step It Up – The Bamboos (Ubiquity) If you’re old enough or retro enough to recall the spirit and heart of old soul groups like Archie Bell and the Drells, these Aussies are channeling that same energy and nasty funk instrumentally.

  • Brochure 2017 2018
    partnership IX rassegna 2017/18 ECOTOPIA Direttore Artistico M° Roberto Ottaviano Coordinatore M° Pietro Laera Ecotopia: il romanzo del nostro futuro. È un romanzo utopico scritto da Ernest Callenbach, pubblicato nel 1975. La società descritta nel libro è una delle prime utopistiche nonché ecologiche, ed ebbe inuenza sulla controcultura e sul movimento ambientalista nel corso degli anni '70. Da questa lettura prende spunto la realizzazione del programma di questa edizione. L'idea di Cultura che sostiene la nostra Associazione è quella di una ricchezza ineguagliabile e non barattabile per uno sviluppo forte delle idee, dei sentimenti che debbono guidare ogni azione di buon governo e che non si lasci fuorviare da canoni il cui peso, è sotto gli occhi di tutti, sta raggiungendo il punto critico di non ritorno. Una idea di Cultura, attraverso lo strumento della Musica, che rende possibile una Utopia insieme al suo impatto ecosostenibile. Ed ecco che in una parola ritorna il senso di tutto questo: ECOTOPIA. Come sempre l'Associazione Culturale Nel Gioco del Jazz, che sta per toccare il traguardo della sua decima programmazione, mantiene fede agli assunti iniziali consolidandoli e potenziando, attraverso un maggiore e più efcace impiego di mezzi, il rapporto con un tessuto sociale che è cresciuto ed ha riconosciuto alla stessa Associazione un ruolo ormai trainante nelle attività territoriali. Con i suoi eventi in cartellone, oltre agli appuntamenti fuori programma, le letture editoriali, gli incontri con autori e protagonisti della vita musicale, il coinvolgimento delle scuole, l'Associazione Nel Gioco del Jazz creerà una rete di interessi ed un dibattito vivo che tiene acceso l'interesse sulla creazione di Cultura, ben oltre il momento della messa in scena e del suo circoscritto periodo.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
