  • Brian Casserly, Who Also Goes by the Name "Big B" Plays Trumpet, Trombone and Is Also a Vocalist with the Band
    Cornet Chop Suey – Biographies The Cornet Chop Suey Jazz Band has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity since its arrival on the jazz scene in 2001. The band's unique front line with Brian Casserly on trumpet, Tom Tucker on cornet, Jerry Epperson on reeds and Brett Stamps on trombone is driven by a powerful rhythm section consisting of Paul Reid on piano, Al Sherman on bass and John Gillick on drums. Best known for a wide variety of styles, Cornet Chop Suey applies its own exciting style to traditional jazz, swing, blues and "big production" numbers. Every performance by Cornet Chop Suey is a high-energy presentation and is always a memorable experience for the audience. Named after a somewhat obscure Louis Armstrong composition, Cornet Chop Suey now has six CD's available. The "St. Louis Armstrong" CD includes many of the tunes performed in the special Louis Armstrong show. The band is in great demand at jazz festivals, jazz cruises, conventions and concerts around the country. Brian Casserly, who also goes by the name "Big B" plays trumpet, trombone and is also a vocalist with the band. A professional musician since the age of 14, Brian has played for many greats in the music business, including Tony Bennett,Tex Beneke, Stan Kenton, Chuck Berry and even Tiny Tim. He has also played the prestigious Monterey Pops Festival for several years. An in-demand session musician, Brian has performed in many commercials, recordings and musicals in the U.S. and Canada and is the past musical director for the S.S.

(DMA, Music) Trombone Embouchure Type Self-Assessment Thesis directed by Dr. William Stanley The focus of this study is to create a self-assessment tool with which the user may identify their own embouchure type. The assessment criteria and embouchure types are derived from the embouchure pedagogy of Donald Reinhardt as revised and clarified by Doug Elliott and David Wilken. Three possible embouchure types include Very High Placement, Medium High Placement, and Low Placement. This study utilizes audio/video recordings, user-recorded musical examples, pre-recorded musical examples, self-observation analysis questions, external observation questions, and comparative analysis questions for assessment. The resulting study complements my other dissertation study, Selected Published Literature Concerning Trombone Embouchure: An Evaluation and Reference (2020), which provides accessible information about embouchure-related content in trombone pedagogical literature. In conjunction, these two studies allow trombonists and teachers to filter the reviewed texts according to their compatibility with each of the specified embouchure types. 2 TROMBONE EMBOUCHURE TYPE SELF-ASSESSMENT Daniel Twentey TMUS 8249 Pedagogy Practicum Outline of Assessment Contents I.

    Tidlige Jazz-Pianister Tidlige Pianister Armstrong, Lil Hardin Basie, Count Blake, Eubie Bloom, Rube Confrey, Zez Hines, Earl Johnson, James P. Joplin, Scott Lamb, Joseph Morton, Jelly Roll Roberts, Luckey Scott, James Smith, Willie "The Lion" Tatum, Art Waller, Fats Williams, Mary Lou Wilson, Teddy Joplin, Scott (b nr Marshall, TX, or Shreveport, LA, 24 Nov 1868; d New York, 1 April 1917). American composer. The circumstances of his training and early career remain obscure, but by 1896 he had settled in Sedalia, Missouri. There, after studying at the George R. Smith College for Negroes to improve his musical technique, he began to issue, with the publisher John Stark, the numerous piano rags on which his reputation as the ‘king of ragtime’ largely rests. Ragtime had been a predominantly improvised folk genre, but Joplin wished to elevate it to ‘classical’ status – a goal he pursued energetically throughout his life – and the idea of a ragtime opera was an early obsession. Almost operatic is The Ragtime Dance of 1899, a six-minute display of ragtime dance steps with sung narration by a ‘caller’ (after the fashion of square dances) and an orchestral accompaniment. In the wake of the success of Maple Leaf Rag (1899), Joplin married and moved (1901) to St Louis. There he composed A Guest of Honor (1903), a ‘ragtime opera’ in one act comprising 12 numbers, all rags. He formed the Scott Joplin Drama Company in April of that year, presenting a single performance of the opera in St Louis before taking it on tour. The renamed Scott Joplin Ragtime Opera Company, however, quickly collapsed, and the touring production was probably heard only in four small Midwestern towns.

  • Ii H. Ragtime – the Dave Willmorth/Maple Leaf Club Archive
    II H. RAGTIME – THE DAVE WILLMORTH/MAPLE LEAF CLUB ARCHIVE It is seldom that a single musical archive could be described as “definitive,” but this collection of musical materials devoted to, and documenting, the rediscovery, re- examination, and renewal of classic American ragtime in the period of roughly the 1960s to the 1990s is a monument to the enthusiasm and sustained interest of a group of researchers, including Dave Willmorth, associated with the Maple Leaf Club of Los Angeles. The archive, consisting of more than 800 cassettes and nearly 300 reel to reel tapes, includes examples of the playing of younger ragtime performers, as well as performances by the older generation of performers and interpreters. There is extensive presentation of the music of the last surviving major ragtime composer, Joseph Lamb, as well as newly composed rags by dozens of writers, from obscure beginners to established classical artists like William Bolcom. To extend the range of the material there are examples of earlier related recordings by jazz artists like Jelly Roll Morton. The archive is an incomparable resource for anyone interested not only in ragtime, but in American popular culture itself. A partial list of artists represented: Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Earl Hines, Jimmy Yancey, Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Itzak Perlman, Andre Previn, Jean Pierre Rampal, William Bolcomb, Brun Campbell, Trebor Tichenor, David Thomas Roberts, John Arpin, Max Morath, Knocky Parker, Bob Darch, Frank French, Joshua Rifkin, John Arpin. Also in the archive are recordings of most of the major ragtime festivals in the 1970s to 1990s, including the major festival at Sedalia, Missouri, and the important Toronto festival.

I’m Ed Berger. I’m here at the Institute of Jazz Studies in Newark interviewing my good friend and colleague Dan Morgenstern. Ken Kimery is presiding at the technical aspects. This is for the Smithsonian Oral History Project. Dan, we want to begin the inquisition with your earliest memories, but first, for the record, could you state your full name and your birth date and place? Morgenstern: I’m Dan Michael Morgenstern. I was born on October 24th, 1929. I am presently director of the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University’s Newark campus. Berger: Why don’t you tell us about your ancestry, as much as you remember – your parents and even further back if you . Morgenstern: It’s a fairly complicated – but I’ll try to be brief. My father was born in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Between the world wars it was Poland. After World War II it became the Soviet Union, but now it’s Ukraine. So it had a scattered history. He was born into a Hassidic family, but not in what we generally think of as eastern European Jewry. We mostly think of what they call a stetl, which is a small For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] 2 town or a village.
