Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

Cone Concert Series ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE 2020–2021 Matthew Shipp The Piano Equation Saturday, November 21 2020 8:00 p.m. ET Virtual Concert, Live from Wolfensohn Hall V wo i T r n tu so osity S ea Institute for Advanced Study 2020–2021 Edward T. Cone Concert Series Saturday, November 21, 2020 8:00 p.m. ET MATTHEW SHIPP PROGRAM THE PIANO EQUATION Matthew Shipp Funding for this concert is provided by the Edward T. Cone Endowment and a grant from the PNC Foundation. ABOUT THE MUSIC David Lang writes: Over the summer I asked Matthew Shipp if he would like to play for us the music from his recent recording The Piano Equation. This album came out towards the beginning of the pandemic and I found myself listening to it over and over—its unhurried wandering and unpredictable changes of pace and energy made it a welcome, thoughtful accompaniment to the lockdown. My official COVID soundtrack. Matthew agreed, but he warned me that what he would play might not sound too much like what I had heard on the recording. This music is improvised, which means that it is different every time. And of course, that is one of the reasons why I am interested in sharing it on our season. We have been grouping concerts under the broad heading of ‘virtuosity’–how music can be designed so that we watch and hear a musical problem being overcome, right before our eyes and ears. Improvisation is a virtuosity all its own, a virtuosity of imagination, of flexibility, of spontaneity.

  • Genre, De Muziekstijl, Stemming Van De Muziek En De Instrumentatie Die Een Bepaalde Artiest Uitoefende
    Een Sociaal Netwerk Onder Muziekartiesten: Een analyse van het sociaal netwerk van muzikanten en daaraan verbonden muzikale kenmerken Gegevens student B.J.G.M. Kuppens Corporate Communication & Digital Media Universiteit van Tilburg [email protected] Begeleiding dr. J. J. Paijmans Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen dpt. Comm.‐ Infor.wetensch [email protected] 1 Abstract Dit onderzoek verdiept zich in de structuur van het sociaal netwerk van muziekartiesten. Wat onderzocht wordt, is of er binnen dit sociaal netwerk een zogenaamde power law verdeling te ontdekken valt. Dit is interessant vanwege de maatschappelijke relevantie van power law structuren in de samenleving. Om dit vast te stellen is er gekeken naar wie de meest invloedrijke artiesten zijn en van wie er de meeste nummers gecoverd zijn. De verwachting is dat er relatief weinig artiesten zijn met relatief veel invloed op medeartiesten, en overeenkomstig staan veel artiesten die weinig invloed hebben op hun medeartiesten. Hetzelfde fenomeen wordt verwacht bevestigd te worden voor gecoverde nummers. Nadat is gebleken dat de structuur van het sociaal netwerk onder muziekartiesten daadwerkelijk de kenmerken vertoont van een power law verdeling, is er vervolgens nog gekeken naar een viertal muzikale kenmerken van de meest invloedrijke artiesten gevonden tijdens dit onderzoek. Het betreft het genre, de muziekstijl, stemming van de muziek en de instrumentatie die een bepaalde artiest uitoefende. Ook van deze variabelen is er een frequentieverdeling gemaakt en is er gekeken of er op een power law gelijkende verdeling is. Dit bleek alleen bij de variabelen genre en instrumentatie het geval te zijn. Muziekstijl in mindere mate en wat stemming betreft zijn er geen dominante items gevonden.

Both outsiders coming to New Orleans such as Ornette Coleman and Cannonball Adderley and locally born musicians such as Alvin Battiste, Ellis Marsalis, and James Black have contributed to this music. These musicians have influenced later players like Steve Masakowski, Shannon Powell, and Johnny Vidacovich up to more current musicians like Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, and Christian Scott. There are multiple reasons why New Orleans modern jazz has not had a greater profile. Some of these reasons relate to the economic considerations of modern jazz. It is difficult for anyone involved in modern jazz, whether musicians, record
