Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa

STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

Dejohnette/Coltrane/Garrison

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAP UCLA presents DeJohnette/Coltrane/Garrison December 7 at Royce Hall "Drummer and jazz legend Jack DeJohnette pairs up with saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and bassist (and electronics whiz) Matthew Garrison, to spellbinding and haunting results." —Pitchfork UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) presents Jack DeJohnette, Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison on Saturday, Dec 7 at 8 p.m. at Royce Hall. Tickets starting at $28 are available now at cap.ucla.edu, 310-825-2101 and the Royce Hall box office. Representing the prestigious lineage of today’s great jazz families, DeJohnette/Coltrane/Garrison explore open improvisation as well as their own compositions. A NEA Jazz Master and Grammy Award-winner, Jack DeJohnette makes his return to the CAP UCLA family and Royce Hall where he previously performed as part of a jazz trio in 2013 with Keith Jarrett and Gary Peacock. DeJohnette/Coltrane/Garrison went through a rebirth in 2016 and have been touring ever since. They first performed the music of the late John Coltrane, Ravi’s father at The Brooklyn Museum. Named after the master sitarist Ravi Shankar, Coltrane is a Grammy nominated saxophonist who has released six albums to date. Matthew Garrison, son of the late Jimmy Garrison who was John Coltrane’s bassist, became a talented bass guitarist in part thanks to his godfather Jack DeJohnette. Garrison has collaborated with several jazz musicians including CAP Alums John Scofield and Pat Metheny. In 1998 Garrison founded GarrisonJazz Productions where he produces, promotes, and markets his music as well as providing music education.
