Indeed, from a position of relative obscurity when he arrived in New York in 1959, he went on to become one of contemporary jazz’s most prolific and commercially successful composers. The main focus of this dissertation will be Zawinul’s rise to prominence in American jazz during the 1960s and 1970s.

BIO TIGRAN HAMASYAN in Its Ever-Evolving State, Jazz Invites Into
BIO TIGRAN HAMASYAN In its ever-evolving state, jazz invites into its fold imaginative artists who freely and courageously pursue their own vision, not only built on tradition but also infused with their own personality and passion. In the case of pianist/keyboardist Tigran Hamasyan, potent jazz improvisation fuses with the rich folkloric music of his native Armenia. Tigran is one of the most remarkable and distinctive jazz-meets-rock pianists of his generation. Tigran’s fresh sound is marked by an exploration of time signatures, charged dynamics, the shifting between acoustic and electric modes of expression, all undergirded by an affinity to the grind of heavy metal. Born in Gyumri, Armenia, in 1987, Tigran grew up in a household that was full of music—his father more of a rock fan while his uncle was a huge jazz buff. When he was just a toddler, Tigran gravitated to tape players and the piano instead of regular childhood toys, and by the time he was 3, he was working his way through figuring out songs on piano by the Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Queen. His jazz tastes early on were informed by Miles Davis’s fusion period, and then around the age of 10 when his family moved to Yerevan, he came to discover the classic jazz songbook under the aegis of his teacher Vahag Hayrapetyan, who had studied with Barry Harris. Tigran chose to study music. While he studied classical music at an Armenian high school geared toward music studies, Tigran continued to grow on his own as a jazz pianist.

Jaco Three Views of His Secrets
26 bassplayer.com /january2016 Jaco Three Views of his secreTs By e.e. Bradman About hAlf An hour into the new documentary Jaco, there’s a scene that reflects a cru- cial aspect of the Jaco Pastorius legend. It’s the fall of 1975, and Blood, Sweat & Tears drummer Bobby Colomby has flown a virtually unknown Jaco from Ft. Lauderdale to New York to record his debut with jazz luminaries Hubert Laws, Herbie Hancock, Don Alias, Wayne Shorter, and Lenny White. The product of those sessions, the soulful, eclectic stunner simply titled Jaco Pastorius, would shake the bass world to its foundations, of course, but the album cover—with its bold lettering across a no-nonsense black & white portrait by Don Hunstein—might suggest that the unsmiling young maestro was overly serious about making a good first impression. That wasn’t true at all. “It was wild,” says Return To Forever drummer Lenny White of the sessions in October 1975. “Basically, we would play, do a take, and go outside and play basketball.” “We could have done it on bicycles with microphones, and he would have played it perfectly,” remembers producer Colomby, still impressed four decades later. Far from nervous, in fact, 23-year-old Jaco was natural, relaxed, and in his element. “I walked into the studio, and Jaco’s eyes were lit up because he had found home—this was the level he belonged on,” recalls trombonist/musical direc- tor Peter Graves. These quintessential Pastorius hallmarks—soul- ful virtuosity, athletic showmanship, and superhu- man technique, with confidence to burn—are central bassplayer.com / january2016 27 CS JACO JEFF YEAGER Robert Trujillo themes of Jaco.

Oddjob Tolkar Weather Report På Nytt Album
2016-10-27 08:00 CEST Oddjob tolkar Weather Report på nytt album Oddjob släpper nytt album den 25 november och har den här gången valt att tolka sina husgudar Weather Report. Den 2 december kan man se bandet framföra låtarna live på Fashing i Stockholm. I år firar det klassiska skivbolaget Amigo Musik 50 år och eftersom Oddjob gav ut sina tre första album där (bland annat Grammisvinnande debutalbumet ”Oddjob”) fick bandet en förfrågan om att släppa en EP för att fira detta jubileum. Under en längre tid har bandet haft en idé om att tolka och hylla en av sina husgudar; det legendariska jazzfusionbandet Weather Report, och detta var ett utmärkt tillfälle att förverkliga den drömmen. De har valt ut låtar som inte är de mest uppenbara hittarna utan snarare musik som de kände både utmanade bandet och samspelade med det Oddjobska soundet och svänget. Musiken är hämtad från deras kanske mest kreativa period 1974- 1978 med albumen Mysterious Traveller, Tale Spinnin´, Black Market, Heavy Weather och Mr. Gone. Albumet "Oddjob Plays Weather Report" släpps digitalt den 25 november och firas med en spelning på jazzklubben Fasching den 2 december. Den kommer även ges ut i begränsad upplaga på 10" vinyl i ett samarbete med Headspin Recordings i början av 2017.

Lucas Stephen M 2014 Masters
TRIPLE SYNTHESIS by Stephen Lucas A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2014 © STEPHEN LUCAS 2014 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis supervisors and committee members Professor Michael Coghlan and Professor Alan Henderson, for their guidance and support in the development of this thesis. I must also thank committee member Professor Holly Small for her generous input and support. In addition, I wish to thank my graduate studies Professors Dorothy de Val, Pat Bradley and David Mott for their advice and expert instruction in my coursework at York University. iii Abstract This thesis investigates the result of merging three musical approaches (jazz fusion, breakbeat/IDM and Electronic Dance Music) and their respective methodologies as applied to music composition. It is presented in a progressive manner. Chapters two to four identify and discuss each of the three styles separately in terms of the research undertaken in the preparation of this thesis. Chapter 2 discusses, through a close examination of selected compositions and recordings, both Weather Report and Herbie Hancock as representing source material for research and compositional study in terms of melody, harmony and orchestration from the 1970s jazz-fusion genre. Chapter 3 examines breakbeat and Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) drum rhythm programming through both technique and musical application. Chapter 4 presents an examination of selected contemporary Electronic Dance Music (EDM) techniques and discusses their importance in current electronic music styles. Chapters 5, 6 and 7 each present an original composition based on the application and synthesis of the styles and techniques explored in the previous three chapters, with each composition defined by proportions of influence from each of the three styles as in the Venn diagram shown in the introduction.
