  • Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the ​ band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke ​ Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in ​ jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & ​ ​ Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more ​ grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

Rajala, (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Eric W. Sager, (Department of History) Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard A. Rajala, (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Eric W. Sager, (Department of History) Departmental Member The Canadian astrophysics program rapidly developed between 1903 and 1914, leading to the wartime construction of what was hoped to be the world’s largest research telescope. The institution opened in Victoria British Columbia in 1918 with fanfare. Throughout the 1920s, the new Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) contributed to discoveries on the frontiers of astrophysics, while educating residents of Victoria about astronomy. In a history often overshadowed by the advent of cosmology in the 1920s, the discoveries of Victoria’s astronomers produced lasting insight into the size and scale of our own galaxy. Accordingly, historians of astronomy have probed the scientific accomplishments of Canadian astronomers, devoting relatively little attention to the regional importance of these scientific facilities.

We are recording this interview at the faculty center at UCLA where Kenny has been teaching for well over three decades. So, good afternoon Mr. Burrell. Burrell: Good afternoon Anthony, my pleasure to be with you, and as I said earlier I’m glad to be able to be interviewed by you. Brown: Well, the feeling is mutual and again this oral history is so that we can capture your life and music in your words, this will be your story told by you. As in every story we have a beginning and we know that you came from Detroit and you came from Detroit at a time when so many of the great jazz innovators and influential artists were thriving in New York, I should say living and thriving in New York, and that list is extensive and we’ll, of course, cover all of your early associates and colleagues. But one question that I had from Barry Kernfeld, who is the editor of the New Grove Jazz Dictionary, he says, “Get Kenny to tell us what was in the water in Detroit at that time [laughs] because how could all of those great musicians come out of there.” So that would be… Burrell: Okay, that’s a good way to start.
