Urging All of Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts So That We Can Know Beyond
CHAPTER 1 HOLISTIC READING We have left the land and embarked. We have burned our bridges behind us- indeed we have gone farther and destroyed the land behind us. Now, little ship, look out! Beside you is the ocean: to be sure, it does not always roar, and at times it lies spread out like silk and gold and reveries of graciousness. But hours will come when you realize that it is infinite and that there is nothing more awesome than infinity... Oh, the poor bird that felt free now strikes the walls of this cage! Woe, when you feel homesick for the land as if it had offered more freedom- and there is no longer any ―land.‖ - Nietzsche Each man‘s life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that- one in an awkward, the other in a more intelligent way, each as best he can. Each man carries the vestiges of his birth- the slime and eggshells of his primeval past-… to the end of his days... Each represents a gamble on the part of nature in creation of the human. We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. But each of us- experiments of the depths- strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each is able to interpret himself alone. – Herman Hesse 1 In this chapter I suggest a new method of reading, which I call “holistic reading.” Building on the spiritual model of the Self offered by Jiddu Krishnamurti and the psychological model of “self” offered by Dr. -

French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.

Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea Has Attained Iconic Status in Music
Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea has attained iconic status in music. The keyboardist, composer and bandleader is a DownBeat Hall of Famer and NEA Jazz Master, as well as the fourth- most nominated artist in Grammy Awards history with 63 nods – and 22 wins, in addition to a number of Latin Grammys. From straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to jazz-rock fusion, children’s songs to chamber and symphonic works, Chick has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his career since playing with the genre-shattering bands of Miles Davis in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Yet Chick has never been more productive than in the 21st century, whether playing acoustic piano or electric keyboards, leading multiple bands, performing solo or collaborating with a who’s who of music. Underscoring this, he has been named Artist of the Year twice this decade in the DownBeat Readers Poll. Born in 1941 in Massachusetts, Chick remains a tireless creative spirit, continually reinventing himself through his art. As The New York Times has said, he is “a luminary, ebullient and eternally youthful.” Chick’s classic albums as a leader or co-leader include Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (with Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes; Blue Note, 1968), Paris Concert (with Circle: Anthony Braxton, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul; ECM, 1971) and Return to Forever (with Return to Forever: Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreria and Flora Purim; ECM, 1972), as well as Crystal Silence(with Gary Burton; ECM, 1973), My Spanish Heart (Polydor/Verve, 1976), Remembering Bud Powell (Stretch, 1997) and Further Explorations (with Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian; Concord, 2012). -

Stefano Bollani - Nato a Milano Nel 1972, Inizia a Studiare Pianoforte a Sei Anni
Stefano Bollani - Nato a Milano nel 1972, inizia a studiare pianoforte a sei anni. Esordisce professionalmente a quindici anni. Dopo aver conseguito nel 1993 il diploma al Conservatorio di Musica di Firenze e dopo una breve esperienza nel mondo della musica pop (con, fra gli altri, Raf, Irene Grandi, Jovanotti), si afferma nel jazz, collaborando con grandissimi musicisti (Richard Galliano, Phil Woods, Lee Konitz, Miroslav Vitous, Han Bennink, Aldo Romano, Michel Portal, Gato Barbieri, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Bobby McFerrin, Franco D’Andrea, Martial Solal, Uri Caine, John Abercrombie, Kenny Wheeler, Greg Osby) sui palcoscenici piú prestigiosi del mondo (da Umbria Jazz al Festival di Montreal, dalla Town Hall di New York alla Fenice di Venezia, fino alla Scala di Milano). Fra le tappe della sua carriera, è fondamentale la collaborazione iniziata nel 1996 - e da allora mai interrotta - con Enrico Rava, al fianco del quale tiene centinaia di concerti e incide tredici dischi. Fra quelli più recenti: “Tati” (ECM 2005), in trio con Paul Motian alla batteria, (disco dell’anno per l’Academie du jazz francese); “The third man” (ECM 2007), (miglior disco dell’anno per la rivista americana “Allaboutjazz” e per l’italiana “Musica jazz”); “New York days” (ECM 2008), in quintetto con Mark Turner, Larry Grenadier e Paul Motian (disco dell’anno per “Musica jazz”). Il referendum dei giornalisti della rivista specializzata “Musica jazz” lo proclama miglior nuovo talento del 1998: in quel periodo, mentre guida il proprio gruppo, “L’orchestra del Titanic”, si lancia nella realizzazione di un ambizioso disco-spettacolo in omaggio alla musica leggera italiana degli anni ‘30-‘40 (“Abbassa la tua radio” con Peppe Servillo, Irene Grandi, Marco Parente, Barbara Casini, Roberto Gatto e tanti altri cantanti e musicisti). -
