  • “Cannonball” Adderley
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 101-106 (Summer 2013) Portrait of Cannonball: Cary Ginell's Walk Tall Dustin Mallory Walk Tall: The Music and Life of Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. By Cary Ginell. Milwaukee: Hal Leonard Books, 2013. 190 pp. $18.99. Very few jazz musicians can say that their band had a Top 20 single and a Top 20 album. Within that elite group of artists, only two men can state in the same breath that they also performed on jazz’s best-selling album of all time, Kind of Blue. One is Miles Davis and the other is Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. Cannonball’s success in album sales is just one measure of his achievements, albeit a tangible one. However, a casual stroll through the practice rooms of any jazz school in the country or jazz club in a city will aurally reveal the sheer volume of musicians that practice, perform, and revere the vocabulary that poured from Cannonball’s saxophone. Yet, despite the respect that Cannonball has been accorded over the years, both measureable and immeasurable, there is relatively little in the way of published biographical information. With the exception of the occasional feature in a periodical, an entry in The Encyclopedia of Jazz, a handful of scholarly works, and a few publications geared toward theory or discography,1 Mr. Adderley’s biography has gone largely unwritten. Furthermore, it can be said definitively that there is nothing in the marketplace that even closely resembles a comprehensive biography. Cary Ginell’s Walk Tall is one of the first publications that sets theory, analysis, and discography on the back burner in favor of history/biography.

It has been accepted for inclusion in English Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. HOW THE PERFORMANCES, SONG LYRICS, AND ACTIVISM OF THE INDIGO GIRLS DEMONSTRATE THE MUTABLE COMPOSITION OF SOUTHERN IDENTITY by ALISON LAW Under the Direction of Gina Caison, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A common misconception about the southern region of the United States is that any one part of the region can stand alone as an accurate representation of the territory as a whole. To refute any notion of a homogeneous South and demonstrate the dynamic nature of an individual or community identity, I examine the history, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the folk-rock duo the Indigo Girls and their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. This project applies the theories of locational feminism found in Susan Stanford Friedman’s Mappings and New Southern Studies in Tara McPherson’s text Reconstructing Dixie . Analyzing the biographies, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the Indigo Girls as an archive of southern literature allows us to understand the fluid, multiplex nature of regional identity and view Atlanta as one “borderland” in a heterogeneous U.S.

  • Theologian, Musician, Author and Educator
    Theologian, Musician, Author and Educator The gift collections of Dr. Jon Michael Spencer A Catalogue of Books, Microfilm, Journals and Vertical Files Donated to the L. Douglas Wilder Library Virginia Union University Compiled by Suzanne K. Stevenson, Special Collections Librarian Michelle A. Taylor, Technical Services Librarian Library Bibliography Series ©Spring 2002 1 PREFACE Since 1998, Dr. Jon Michael Spencer has donated more than 1,100 books from his personal research library as well as selected journals, microfilm of historic papers and research documentation to the L. Douglas Wilder Library at Virginia Union University. The subject areas reflect his specialties in the history and theology of African-American sacred and secular music, African history and slave culture, and African-American history and sociology. The collection includes a significant number of hymnals from various denominations. The former University of Richmond music and American studies professor is now a professor of religious studies at the University of South Carolina. He earned a music degree from Hampton University and completed graduate work in music composition as well as theology at Washington University and Duke Divinity School. Spencer donated this extensive collection to VUU for several reasons. Until the summer 2000, he was a resident of Richmond and VUU was the city’s African American university. As well, VUU has a School of Theology and Spencer has published extensively in the area of religion. Finally, his architect father, John H. Spencer, participated in the design of the Wilder library. It is in the elder Spencer’s name that Dr. Spencer has donated his collections. The books are housed in the library’s closed collections.
