April 2012, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Als 25-jähriger war der Pianist Duke Jordan (1922-2006) im Auge des Hurrikans, sprich: Er war der Pianist im legendären Quintett von Charlie Parker, neben Kollegen wie Miles Davis und Max Roach. Als Charlie Parkers Pianist ist er in die Jazzgeschichte eingegangen, egal wie viele Alben er später noch unter eigenem Namen realisieren sollte. In die Liste der Komponisten von Jazzstandards trug sich Duke Jordan ein mit seinem Stück «Jordu», das er 1953 schrieb. Der Berner Pianist Franz Biffiger hat sich durch das uneinheitliche Plattenwerk von des eigenwilligen Duke Jordan gehört und die «Bijoux» hervorgesucht Duke Jordan: Flight To Jordan CD Blue Note Track 1: Flight To Jordan Track 6: Si-Joya Charlie Parker: The Savoy Recordings Vol.2 CD Savoy Track8: Bird Gets The Worm Duke Jordan: Trio & Quintet CD Savoy Jazz Track 5: Summertime Track 1: Forecast Duke Jordan: Flight To Japan CD Steeplechase Track 7: Flight To Japan Track 2: Bridgetown Duke Jordan: One For The Library CD Storyville Track 4: Everthing Happens To Me Bonustracks – nur in der Samstagsausgabe Bud Powell: Bud Plays Bird CD Roulette Track 13: Scrapple From The Apple Barry Harris: Barry Harris Plays Tadd Dameron & Thelonious Monk CD Jazz Lips Track 14: Pannonica Barry Harris: Breakin’ It Up CD Jazz Beat Track 13: It’s Hipper Than That Tommy Flanagan: Tommy Flanagan Plays The Music Of Harold Arlen CD DIW Track 5: Out Of This World Tommy Flanagan & Hank Jones: Live In Marciac 1993 CD Groovin’ High Track 4/II: Confirmation Sonny Clark: Sonny’s Crib CD Blue Note Track 8: News For Lulu Barney Wilen: At The Club Saint-Germain CD BMG Track 4/II: Round Midnight .

    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

  • Jazz at the Crossroads)
    MUSIC 127A: 1959 (Jazz at the Crossroads) Professor Anthony Davis Rather than present a chronological account of the development of Jazz, this course will focus on the year 1959 in Jazz, a year of profound change in the music and in our society. In 1959, Jazz is at a crossroads with musicians searching for new directions after the innovations of the late 1940s’ Bebop. Musical figures such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane begin to forge a new direction in music building on their previous success earlier in the fifties. The recording Kind of Blue debuts in 1959 documenting the work of Miles Davis’ legendary sextet with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb and reflects a new direction in the music with the introduction of a modal approach to composition and improvisation. John Coltrane records Giant Steps the culmination of the harmonic intricacies of Bebop and at the same time the beginning of something new. Ornette Coleman arrives in New York and records The Shape of Jazz to Come, an LP that presents a radical departure from the orthodoxies of Be-Bop. Dave Brubeck records Time Out, a record featuring a new approach to rhythmic structure in the music. Charles Mingus records Mingus Ah Um, establishing Mingus as a pre-eminent composer in Jazz. Bill Evans forms his trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian transforming the interaction and function of the rhythm section. The quiet revolution in music reflects a world that is profoundly changed. The movement for Civil Rights has begun. The Birmingham boycott and the Supreme Court decision Brown vs.

  • New World NW 271 Jazz Historians Explain the Coming of Bebop—The Radically New Jazz Style That Established Itself Toward
    Bebop New World NW 271 Jazz historians explain the coming of bebop—the radically new jazz style that established itself toward the end of World War II—as a revolutionary phenomenon. The motives ascribed to the young pioneers in the style range from dissatisfaction with the restrictions on freedom of expression imposed by the then dominant big-band swing style to the deliberate invention of a subtle and mystifying manner of playing that could not be copied by uninitiated musicians. It has even been suggested that bebop was invented by black musicians to prevent whites from stealing their music, as had been the case with earlier jazz styles. Yet when Dizzy Gillespie, one of the two chief architects of the new style, was asked some thirty years after the fact if he had been a conscious revolutionary when bebop began, his answer was Not necessarily revolutionary, but evolutionary. We didn't know what it was going to evolve into, but we knew we had something that was a little different. We were aware of the fact that we had a new concept of the music, if by no other means than the enmity of the [older] musicians who didn't want to go through a change.... But it wasn't the idea of trying to revolutionize, but only trying to see yourself, to get within yourself. And if somebody copied it, okay! Were he able, the other great seminal figure of bebop, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, would probably amplify Gillespie's opinion that the new music arose from inner needs rather than external factors.

  • Ornette Coleman and Harmolodics by Matt Lavelle
    Ornette Coleman and Harmolodics by Matt Lavelle A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research Written and approved under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin ________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2019 © 2019 Matt Lavelle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Ornette Coleman stands as one of the most significant innovators in jazz history. The purpose of my thesis is to show where his innovations came from, how his music functions, and how it impacted other innovators around him. I also delved into the more controversial aspects of his music. At the core of his process was a very personal philosophical and musical theory he invented which he called Harmolodics. Harmolodics was derived from the music of Charlie Parker and Coleman’s need to challenge conventional Western music theory in pursuit of providing direct links between music, nature, and humanity. To build a foundation I research Coleman’s development prior to his famous debut at the Five Spot, focusing on evidence of a direct connection to Charlie Parker. I examine his use of instruments he played other than his primary use of the alto saxophone. His relationships with the piano, guitar, and the musicians that played them are then examined. I then research his use of the bass and drums, and the musicians that played them, so vital to his music. I follow with documentation of the string quartets, woodwind ensembles, and symphonic work, much of which was never recorded.

  • Herman Cook “Junior”
    1 The TENORSAX of HERMAN COOK “JUNIOR” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Oct. 9, 2019 2 Born: Pensacola, Florida, July 22, 1934 Died: NYC. Feb. 3, 1992 Introduction: Oslo Jazz Circle in the old days was very interested in the exciting art of the famous Horace Silver, and thus we also became familiar with Junior Cook. Unfortunately they never visited our backward country although they came pretty close. For me personally though, I solved the problem by visiting New York! History: Played alto saxophone while he was in high school but soon took up the tenor instrument instead. Played with Dizzy Gillespie in early 1958 and joined the Horace Silver Quintet in May; also in that year he recorded with Kenny Burrell. After leaving Silver in 1964 he played until 1969 with Blue Mitchell, who had also been one of Silver’s sidedmen, and recorded with Barry Harris (1967) and organists John Patton and John Patterson (both 1968). Taught at the Berklee College of Music before working with Freddie Hubbard (1973-75). Played in a quintet with with Louis Hayes (from 1975) (ref. The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz). 3 JUNIOR COOK SOLOGRAPHY KENNY BURRELL SEPTET NYC.
