  • Starten Met Jazz
    Themalijst Starten met Jazz Inleiding De Openbare Bibliotheek Kortrijk heeft een zeer uitgebreide jazzcollectie een paar duizend cd’s en een paar duizend vinylelpees) waardoor het voor een leek moeilijk is het bos door de bomen te zien. Ik zie voor de leek die iets meer wil weten ver jazzmuziek drie opties: 1. Je komt naar de Bib en grasduint wat in onze fantastische collectie. Grote kans dat je de ‘verkeerde’ cd’s meeneemt en voorgoed de jazz afzweert. Wat jammer zou zijn.. 2. Je neemt enkel verzamel-cd’s mee, bijvoorbeeld de Klara cd’s 3. Ok, dan heb je een staalkaart van het beste wat er ooit verschenen is en wil je misschien nog iets dieper gaan, meer exploreren, meer voelen wat échte jazz is.. Dan lees je 4. De beknopte lijst hieronder die chronologisch in enkele tientallen cd’s je wegwijs maakt in de verschillende subgenres van de jazz. Verwacht geen uitgebreide biografieën of discografieën maar een kort situeren van de belangrijkste stromingen met haar prominentste vertegenwoordigers. Dit is alleen maar een kennismaking, een aanzet. Maar dit document probeert een chronologisch overzicht te geven met de belangrijkste namen per sub genre. Als je van al deze artiesten één cd beluisterd hebt, kan je al wat meepraten voor jazz. Het is belangrijk op te merken dat al die sub genres soms zeer lang blijven en zelfs heropleven. Uiteraard overlappen ze elkaar in de tijd. En weinig muzikanten beperken zich echt tot één stijl. Jazzrecensent Mark Van den Hoof stelt dat na de jaren ‘60 niets nieuws meer gebeurde in de jazz en dat men zich beperkt tot het spelen in de stijlen van de vorige eeuw.

    FEEST VAN DE BELGISCHE JAZZ ZATERDAG 8 OKTOBER 2016 In februari 2012 sloegen het Concertgebouw en De Werf de handen in elkaar voor een eerste W.E.R.F.- Labelnight. Deze eerste editie huldigde niet alleen 100 releases op het Brugse label, maar vierde even- eens het tienjarige jubileum van het Concertgebouw. De formule bleek een schot in de roos en een ver- volg kon dan ook niet uitblijven! Vandaag draait het W.E.R.F.-label nog steeds op volle toeren en stevent het af op 150 titels. Wat oorspronkelijk startte in 1993 als een eenmalige ondersteuning aan de Brugse pianist Kris Defoort, groeide uit tot wellicht het belangrijkste jazzlabel in Vlaanderen. De oneindige lijst aan jazzmuzikanten die reeds voor het label opnamen, leest als een encyclopedie van de Belgische 18:00 KRIS DEFOORT’S DIVING POET SOCIETY CONCERTZAAL jazzgeschiedenis van de afgelopen 25 jaar.

  • Introduction
    2008 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE – PAG.117–126 STUDIA TERRITORIALIA XII JAZZ IN CZECH CULTURE AFTER WORLD WAR ONE: CLASH OF WESTERN MODERNITY WITH CENTRAL EUROPEAN TRADITIONALISM MILOŠ CALDA Abstract The paper deals with the reception of American culture in the interwar years, the time when the Czech cultural elites tried to abandon the traditional Central European patterns and reoriented themselves to embrace those of Western Europe and North America. The reorientation was accompanied by the discovery of exotic new genres like film and jazz. Perhaps surprisingly, the Western culture was enthusiastically received by the Left. The two prominent representatives of this direction were the left-leaning intellectual Emil František Burian and the Liberated Theatre (Osvobozené divadlo) with such individualities as the composer Jaroslav Ježek and its two main protagonists, playwrights and actors Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich. The paper focuses on the first Czech book on jazz music, E. F. Burian’s Jazz (1928), in which the author, apart from many misjudgements, constructed a novel model of culture hitherto unknown in Central Europe, the model that combined sports, social patterns, lifestyle, modernity, and left-wing politics. The difficulties with finding out what jazz really was are also treated as well as the factor of “technological reproducibility” (W. Benjamin). Lastly, the contribution of Vladimír Polívka, the leading informant of the Czech society about musical life in the United States in the interwar period, is assessed. Keywords: jazz, American popular music, cultural reception, modernity, cultural Left, E. F. Burian, Jaroslav Ježek, Vladimír Polívka, age of technological reproducibility Introduction The paper examines the influx of American popular culture into Czechoslovakia in the aftermath of World War One.

  • The Harmony of Debussy in Contemporary Jazz Brigham
    THE HARMONY OF DEBUSSY IN CONTEMPORARY JAZZ BRIGHAM PHILLIPS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY, 2018 © BRIGHAM PHILLIPS, 2018 ABSTRACT Claude Debussy and other late 19th-century composers (especially Maurice Ravel) introduced several new harmonic innovations that have since become standard tools of the jazz composer/arranger/improviser, among them the rich harmonies of chromatically altered chords as well as the use of the whole tone, pentatonic and octatonic scales. This thesis presents an original composition The Stanley Bridge Suite that demonstrates ​ ​ how these harmonic concepts are used in modern orchestral jazz. A brief history of impressionism is included, followed by a chapter showing the increasing prevalence of impressionist harmony in jazz over the years. Because The Stanley Bridge Suite was arranged for ​ ​ an orchestral jazz ensemble the makeup of the modern jazz orchestra is also discussed. The final chapter analyzes the thesis composition in detail, showing where and how the various Debussy techniques were incorporated in the work. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professors Al Henderson and Dr. Mark Chambers for their guidance and assistance. I would also like to acknowledge and thank my parents for giving me the gift of music and encouraging my choice to make a living as a professional musician. My father, recently deceased, always hoped I would pursue a Masters Degree in Music one day. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, daughter and son for encouraging me to go on this Masters journey and for putting up with my frequent absence from their lives while doing so.

Like a series of postcards, his music is imbued with intuitive experiences from the streets, landscapes lived and musicians encountered on the road. His guitars invite you to discover the music of a universal elsewhere and connect to our Western musical heritage in astonishing and unexpected ways. DISTANCES is the album that announces with groove and sensitivity that artistic maturity has arrived. From nylon to steel-string, through slide and ukulele, Dujardin reveals a universe that encompasses musical meetings that surprise, as in the song Ya Bai Miriam with the Palestinian a capella group El-Funoun.
