Abreu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof Associate Professor Richard Turits Associate Professor Yeidy Rivero Associate Professor Anthony P. Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.

  • Primary Sources: an Examination of Ira Gitler's
    PRIMARY SOURCES: AN EXAMINATION OF IRA GITLER’S SWING TO BOP AND ORAL HISTORY’S ROLE IN THE STORY OF BEBOP By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Master of Arts M.A. Program in Jazz History and Research Written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter And approved by ___________________________ _____________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Primary Sources: An Examination of Ira Gitler’s Swing to Bop and Oral History’s Role in the Story of Bebop By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON Thesis director: Dr. Lewis Porter This study is a close reading of the influential Swing to Bop: An Oral History of the Transition of Jazz in the 1940s by Ira Gitler. The first section addresses the large role oral history plays in the dominant bebop narrative, the reasons the history of bebop has been constructed this way, and the issues that arise from allowing oral history to play such a large role in writing bebop’s history. The following chapters address specific instances from Gitler’s oral history and from the relevant recordings from this transitionary period of jazz, with musical transcription and analysis that elucidate the often vague words of the significant musicians. The aim of this study is to illustratethe smoothness of the transition from swing to bebop and to encourage a sense of skepticism in jazz historians’ consumption of oral history. ii Acknowledgments The biggest thanks go to Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr.

  • Lorraine Feather
    LORRAINE FEATHER SELECTED CREDITS RULES DON’T APPLY (2016) ‘Rules Don’t Apply’ title song (Critics’ choice award nominated) co-written with Eddie Arkin THE PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROAYAL ENGAGEMENT (2004) (Lyrics: “Your Crowning Glory”) THE JUNGLE BOOK 2(2003) (Original Songs) (Lorraine nominated for World Soundtrack Award) DICK TRACY (1990) (Performer: “Back In Business”) BIOGRAPHY Lorraine Feather was born in Manhattan. Her parents named her Billie Jane Lee Lorraine after godmother Billie Holiday, her mother Jane (formerly a big band singer), her mother’s ex-roommate Peggy Lee, and the song ‘Sweet Lorraine’. She is the daughter of the late jazz writer Leonard Feather. The Feathers moved to L.A. when Lorraine was 12; at 18, after two years as a theater arts major at L.A. City College, she returned to New York to pursue an acting career. Some touring, off-Broadway work and the Broadway show ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ followed, interspersed with countless waitressing jobs up and down Manhattan’s West Side. Frequently out of work, and discouraged by more than one restaurateur from pursuing a career in the food service industry, Lorraine decided to try singing. She began working with various jazz and Top 40 bands in and around New York. She sang backup for Petula Clark and Grand Funk Railroad, and finally put her own act together, eventually moving back to L.A., where she sang at local jazz clubs. Soon after, she joined producer Richard Perry’s vocal trio Full Swing and recorded three albums with the group. Lorraine wrote lyrics for most of the songs on these releases, some for classic pieces like Duke Ellington’s “Rockin’ in Rhythm,” the Yellowjackets’ ‘Ballad of the Whale’ and Horace Henderson’s “Big John’s Special” (later heard in the movie ‘Swing Shift’).

  • Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, MM
    ABSTRACT Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel’s Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, M.M. Mentor: Jean A. Boyd, Ph.D. In 2001, the release of Fantasies and Delusions officially announced Billy Joel’s remarkable career transition from popular songwriting to classical instrumental music composition. Representing Joel’s eclectic aesthetic that transcends genre, this album features a series of ten solo piano pieces that evoke a variety of musical styles, especially those coming from the Romantic tradition. A collaborative effort with classical pianist Hyung-ki Joo, Joel has mentioned that Fantasies and Delusions is the album closest to his heart and spirit. However, compared to Joel’s popular works, it has barely received any scholarly attention. Given this gap in musicological work on the album, this thesis focuses on the album’s content, creative process, and connection with Billy Joel’s life, career, and artistic identity. Through this thesis, I argue that Fantasies and Delusions is reflective of Joel’s artistic identity as an eclectic composer, a melodist, a Romantic, and a Piano Man. Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music by Jie Fang Goh, B.M. A Thesis Approved by the School of Music Gary C. Mortenson, D.M.A., Dean Laurel E.

  • Barry Manilow
    B I O G R A F I A BARRY MANILOW INTRAMONTABILE MIETITORE DI SUCCESSI BARRY MANILOW INTRAMONTABILE MIETITORE DI SUCCESSI DALLA RIVISTA SM 44 Barry Alan Pinkus , in arte Barry Manilow, nasce a New York il 17/6/1943 in una famiglia umile di origini ebreo russe . Fin da giovanissimo dimostra un notevole talento artistico anche se il debutto sulla grande scena musicale arriva relativamente tardi , nel 1972, quando esce il primo album che porta il suo nome. Il successo non è ancora quello sperato ma è solo questione di tempo: nel 1974 pubblica Mandy – primo di una serie di singoli , confluiti poi in diversi album, tra cui Even now , This one’s for you , Weekend in New England , I write the song e Tryin’ to get the feeling again presenti nelle chart americane per intere settimane – e la porta della celebrità si spalanca. Da questo momento Barry si trasforma in una macchina sforna successi : grazie all’entusiasmo del pubblico inizia una vera e propria Manilow-mania , che si traduce in una produzione discografica così fitta da avere pochi riscontri nella storia del pop . Le continue apparizioni, i concerti che incantano folle di spettatori, il carisma fanno di Barry uno dei maggiori artisti degli anni Settanta e Ottanta . Vediamo quali sono le tappe principali : nel 1978 esce Even Now , seguito un anno dopo da One voice (1980). If I should love again (1981) e Here comes the night (1982) fanno da apripista alla fantastica tournée che avrà nelle cinque esibizioni alla Royal Albert Hall di Londra il suo apice.

  • Fats Waller, If You Got to Ask, You Ain't Got
    “Fats Waller, If You Got to Ask, You Ain’t Got It!” Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 2006 “Fats is gone now, but to me he’s still here with us. His very good spirit will keep him with us for ages. Right now, anytime someone mentions Fats Waller’s name, why, you can see the grins on all the faces, as if to say, “Yea, yea, yes, yes, Fats is a solid sender, ain’t he?” — Louis Armstrong More than six decades have passed since Louis Armstrong eulogized his friend shortly after his untimely death at 39, and as always, Satchmo stuck just the right note. As this marvelous collection proves, the joyous spirit of Fats Waller is as alive as ever, to seasoned fans and first-time listeners alike. Thomas Wright Waller, the seventh of 11 children born to Adaline and Edward Waller, six of whom died in childhood, came into this world on May 21, 1904 in New York City— some sources say in Greenwich Village, others claim Harlem. In any case, the family did live on Waverley place but moved uptown during Tom’s early childhood. His first contact with a piano came at the age of six, at an upstairs neighbor’s apartment; the instrument fascinated him, and he was soon looking for pianos wherever he could. His musical mother and an elder brother, Robert, born in 1893, we’re so impressed with little Tom’s zeal that they persuaded a better-off relative to provide a piano, and lessons were procured; however, Tom had such a good ear that he could replicate most pieces after a single hearing and saw no need to practice his lessons, so formal training ended.

    Volume 44 • Issue 10 November 2016 Journal of the New Jersey Jazz Society Dedicated to the performance, promotion and preservation of jazz. DO I KNOW YOU? If you saw a musician walking along Manhattan’s West Side the last Sunday in September, there could only have been one place he was heading: The fourth edition of the New York Hot Jazz Festival. Bassist Andrew Hall brought to mind Dennis Stock’s iconic shot of Bill Crow crossing Times Square as he made is way across Tenth Avenue on his way to the McKittrick Hotel. Photo by Mitchell Seidel. Retro’s The Thing At 2016 ALSO INSIDE New York Hot Jazz Festival nachronism reigned supreme as producer Michael Katsobashvili’s vision of Central Jersey’s Athe hot jazz world of the 1920s and ’30s came to life at the fourth annual New 3-Day Jazz Festival York Hot Jazz Festival — turning Chelsea’s McKittrick Hotel into a costumed page 12 retro Disneyland for enthusiasts of early jazz and swing. Katsobashvili credited saxophonist Dan Levinson and his band, the Gotham Sophisticats, as being “the Princeton’s JazzFeast culprits” who “took me down the rabbit hole of hot jazz” during a performance at page 28 the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel some five years earlier.
