    A Conversation with Petra Haden by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.Com, 1/2009)

    A Conversation with Petra Haden by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 1/2009) A short while back, we interviewed a fascinating accordionist, music-oriented photographer, and image and scene maker in Portland named Alicia J. Rose, aka Miss Murgatroid. She'd taken very compelling photos of several bands we'd covered (Sophe Lux and Boy Eats Drum Machine come to mind), and then we stumbled on to her signature accordion work, which often involved multiple effects pedals. Her best known CD was one she'd woven with her friend and musical partner Petra Haden. Although you might know Petra as a member of the Decemberists, or as one of Charlie Haden's daughters (the legendary jazz bassist), or the guest soloist in any of many bands (including the recent Foo Fighters tour), she is still and deservedly best known for her a capella version of the entire Sell Out record by The Who. (She later cut a record with Bill Frisell that happens to be rather divine, called simply Petra Haden and Bill Frisell.) But the Petra project that ignited our conversation was Hearts and Daggers, the long awaited and satisfying reunion with Miss Murgatroid. Some sounds are best heard before described, and you'll find the customary links to those audio clips along the way. We're sure you'll find Petra's words interesting, as we certainly did. And thanks to Miss Murgatroid, aka Alicia J. Rose, who led us here. Puremusic: Let's talk first about this recent release with Miss Murgatroid, Hearts and Daggers. We like that a lot.

    Joe Alterman "When listening to Joe Alterman perform, it is obvious that he has studied the history of jazz piano. However, his own style of playing is appealing, challenging and quite satisfying." — Ramsey Lewis "Joe is a true inspiration to me. He is a part of the next generation of great jazz musicians who care and he is going to go somewhere with his music."— Les McCann "Joe has a great sense of what is most meaningful in the history and tradition of our music, and a real solid musical vision of where he wants to take it.” — Houston Person "Talk about the joy of jazz!...It's a pleasure to hear this music...You've got it!" — Nat Hentoff, from "Joe Alterman Strikes A Chord," published in the Wall Street Journal on May 1, 2013 "The new Harry Connick.” — Linda Lorence Critelli, vice president, SESAC For more information, please visit www.joealtermanmusic.com For booking inquiries or to contact Joe directly, please email [email protected] In a recent feature on Joe Alterman in the Wall Street Journal, legendary writer Nat Hentoff wrote, “'Talk about the joy of jazz!...It's a pleasure to hear this music'…You've got it!” Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Alterman moved to New York in the fall of 2007 to study music at New York University, where he also earned his Master’s Degree in Music. While there, he had the opportunity to study with greats including Don Friedman, Joe Lovano and John Scofield. He has performed at venues around the world including the Blue Note Jazz Club in Milan, Blues Alley in Washington, DC, and Preservation Hall in New Orleans; he has led groups at venues in New York City including the Blue Note Jazz Club, the Iridium, the Kitano, and Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, among others.

    partnership IX rassegna 2017/18 ECOTOPIA Direttore Artistico M° Roberto Ottaviano Coordinatore M° Pietro Laera Ecotopia: il romanzo del nostro futuro. È un romanzo utopico scritto da Ernest Callenbach, pubblicato nel 1975. La società descritta nel libro è una delle prime utopistiche nonché ecologiche, ed ebbe inuenza sulla controcultura e sul movimento ambientalista nel corso degli anni '70. Da questa lettura prende spunto la realizzazione del programma di questa edizione. L'idea di Cultura che sostiene la nostra Associazione è quella di una ricchezza ineguagliabile e non barattabile per uno sviluppo forte delle idee, dei sentimenti che debbono guidare ogni azione di buon governo e che non si lasci fuorviare da canoni il cui peso, è sotto gli occhi di tutti, sta raggiungendo il punto critico di non ritorno. Una idea di Cultura, attraverso lo strumento della Musica, che rende possibile una Utopia insieme al suo impatto ecosostenibile. Ed ecco che in una parola ritorna il senso di tutto questo: ECOTOPIA. Come sempre l'Associazione Culturale Nel Gioco del Jazz, che sta per toccare il traguardo della sua decima programmazione, mantiene fede agli assunti iniziali consolidandoli e potenziando, attraverso un maggiore e più efcace impiego di mezzi, il rapporto con un tessuto sociale che è cresciuto ed ha riconosciuto alla stessa Associazione un ruolo ormai trainante nelle attività territoriali. Con i suoi eventi in cartellone, oltre agli appuntamenti fuori programma, le letture editoriali, gli incontri con autori e protagonisti della vita musicale, il coinvolgimento delle scuole, l'Associazione Nel Gioco del Jazz creerà una rete di interessi ed un dibattito vivo che tiene acceso l'interesse sulla creazione di Cultura, ben oltre il momento della messa in scena e del suo circoscritto periodo.

    Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa

    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.
