Like the Jazz Ambassador tours depicted in Jam Session, present day State Department- sponsored programs celebrate some of the United States’ greatest artistic and cultural achievements. Contemporary jazz great Wynton Marsalis has followed in the footsteps of Dizzy and Duke, traveling the world and connecting cultures with his music and ambassadorial skills. The U.S. government has expanded this type of initiative to include both hip-hop and sports diplomacy. In 1999, the State Department awarded the title of U.S. Hip-Hop Ambassador to the rap lyricist, vocalist, actress, and writer Toni Blackman, who went on to tour countries in Africa and southeast Asia. Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice appointed figure-skating champion Michelle Kwan as a cultural ambassador in 2006; the following year, major-league baseball star Cal Ripken, Jr. represented the U.S. in a similar capacity. In all of these diplomatic initiatives, the State Department views interaction with American artists and cultural icons as a way to establish relationships, build trust, and clarify what these individuals and the United States represent. INSTRUCTIONS: Pretend you are the President of the United States of America. Choose who you would like to send on a cultural diplomatic tour. As the paragraph above shows, your choice does not have to be from the world of jazz. Feel free to select a musician, athlete, movie star, or a person you admire. Just make sure to explain why you think this particular individual would successfully represent the U.S. abroad. Also, consider the following questions: Where would you send them? Who would be your audience? What message would your selection of this specific individual send to the world? 11 If I was President of the United States... 12 INSTRUCTIONS: Pick a specific Jazz Ambassador’s appearance in any country he or she visited and pretend you are that nation’s Foreign Minister. Your task is to compose a brief speech welcoming this individual. Before you begin writing, do preliminary research on your chosen country to make the speech as specific as possible to its history, society, and culture. Try to set aside your American perspective and adopt the point of view of a government official from a host country. Keep this question in mind: why would your government want American jazz musicians to perform in your homeland? Dave Brubeck, 1958; Baghdad, Iraq Other Questions to Consider: •What are some of the major differences and similarities between your country and the United States? •What message would you, as a representative of your government, want to convey with this specific jazz performance? •Which American ideals do you hope to promote in your country? Which do you seek to downplay? Benny Goodman, 1956; Bangkok, Thailand •What does it mean for your country to partake in cultural exchange with the U.S.? •Why do you think the Jazz Ambassadors are so popular with local populations? Why are the people of your country excited about this tour? Louis Armstrong, 1960; Kaduna, Nigeria 13 Welcome Speech (Continued) 14 Duke Ellington, 1963 Damascus, Syria Benny Goodman, 1962 Moscow, USSR John Shirley, 1962 Benahmed, Morocco Louis Armstrong, 1961 Cairo, Egypt INSTRUCTIONS: Using the wall labels and the hints below name the country that each of the Jazz Ambassadors visited. 1. Gillespie, Ellington, Carter, and Terry visited this southeast Asian country which experienced poltical turmoil after the December 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister and political leader Benazir Bhutto. ________________ 2. Brubeck and Ellington visited this Middle Eastern country. It has been the setting for a large U.S. military operation since a 2003 invasion removed then-President Saddam Hussein from power. _________________ 3. Goodman visited this Asia-Pacific country, an island nation with the world’s second-largest economy. ________________ 4. Goodman and Ellington visited this large country. It is has reemerged as a key international power after the political and economic instability that followed its 1991 dissolution (an event that also ended the Cold War). __________________ 5. Ellington visited this South American nation, which in October 2007 elected Cristina Fernandez its President. Her husband, Nestor Kirchner, preceeded her as the country’s president. ____________ 6. Carter visited this European country. Its position between the continents of Europe and Asia has given it a strong economic and cultural influence on both regions.

  • The Historic Recordings of the Song Desafinado: Bossa Nova Development and Change in the International Scene1
    The historic recordings of the song Desafinado: Bossa Nova development and change in the international scene1 Liliana Harb Bollos Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brasil [email protected] Fernando A. de A. Corrêa Faculdade Santa Marcelina, Brasil [email protected] Carlos Henrique Costa Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brasil [email protected] 1. Introduction Considered the “turning point” (Medaglia, 1960, p. 79) in modern popular Brazi- lian music due to the representativeness and importance it reached in the Brazi- lian music scene in the subsequent years, João Gilberto’s LP, Chega de saudade (1959, Odeon, 3073), was released in 1959 and after only a short time received critical and public acclaim. The musicologist Brasil Rocha Brito published an im- portant study on Bossa Nova in 1960 affirming that “never before had a happe- ning in the scope of our popular music scene brought about such an incitement of controversy and polemic” (Brito, 1993, p. 17). Before the Chega de Saudade recording, however, in February of 1958, João Gilberto participated on the LP Can- ção do Amor Demais (Festa, FT 1801), featuring the singer Elizete Cardoso. The recording was considered a sort of presentation recording for Bossa Nova (Bollos, 2010), featuring pieces by Vinicius de Moraes and Antônio Carlos Jobim, including arrangements by Jobim. On the recording, João Gilberto interpreted two tracks on guitar: “Chega de Saudade” (Jobim/Moraes) and “Outra vez” (Jobim). The groove that would symbolize Bossa Nova was recorded for the first time on this LP with ¹ The first version of this article was published in the Anais do V Simpósio Internacional de Musicologia (Bollos, 2015), in which two versions of “Desafinado” were discussed.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

    JAZZ WRITING? I am one of Mr. Turley's "few people" who follow The New Yorker and are jazz lovers, and I find in Whitney Bal- liett's writing some of the sharpest and best jazz criticism in the field. He has not been duped with "funk" in its pseudo-gospel hard-boppish world, or- with the banal playing and writing of some of the "cool school" Californians. He does believe, and rightly so, that a fine jazz performance erases the bound• aries of jazz "movements" or fads. He seems to be able to spot insincerity in any phalanx of jazz musicians. And he has yet to be blinded by the name of a "great"; his recent column on Bil- lie Holiday is the most clear-headed analysis I have seen, free of the fan- magazine hero-worship which seems to have been the order of the day in the trade. It is true that a great singer has passed away, but it does the late Miss Holiday's reputation no good not to ad• LETTERS mit that some of her later efforts were (dare I say it?) not up to her earlier work in quality. But I digress. In Mr. Balliett's case, his ability as a critic is added to his admitted "skill with words" (Turley). He is making a sincere effort to write rather than play jazz; to improvise with words,, rather than notes. A jazz fan, in order to "dig" a given solo, unwittingly knows a little about the equipment: the tune being improvised to, the chord struc• ture, the mechanics of the instrument, etc.

Their value is thus very dependent on their relationships with other reissues of this material - something that is their main weakness. Apart from the general excellence of the music, their main virtue is in their presentation. All the reissues are programmed in chronological order (usually the best way) and all the relevant discographical infor­ mation is supplied (though in the almost unreadable jumble that is common to too many jazz reissues). As a bonus there are also pages of photos and notes that contain an abundance of relevant fact and inte­ resting opinions - (only one incorrect fact stands out concerning Max Roach's recording debut), Overall, the most successful of this series is the one dealing with the earliest music, the KING OLIVER, All of the fifteen Okeh's and four Columbia's are brought together with much better sound than ever before, so that it definitely replaces all previous reissues of this material.

  • Brazillian Voices
    FROM BRAZIL TO THE WORLD Who are the Brazilian Voices Brazilian Voices is a female vocal ensemble engaged in musical performances as an instrument for the advancement of intercultural, educational, philanthropic and entertainment activities, with the purpose of creating a peaceful artistic movement with social responsibility to the local and global community. Five times award winner of the International Brazilian Press Awards, Brazilian Voices is composed of about fifty females who have been expanding Brazilian music in the United States, Brazil, Italy and Spain singing famous composers of Brazilian music. Brazilian Voices will immerse you in the beauty of the Brazilian culture with the educational program “From Brazil to the World”. Through a combination of informative presentations and live performances, the participants will learn in an interactive and interesting way about Brazilian rhythms and culture. Music allows all of us to develop a greater capacity for concentration, creative group work, and imagination, while fostering a greater sense of responsibility as well as more adaptive interpersonal involvement. Music also offers unique communication as it provides individuals with an alternative channel of interaction and participation with a wide range of abilities, from listening and active contribution to adept performance. With these objectives in mind, Brazilian Voices has developed this educational program that offers a broader understanding and greater appreciation of musical and cultural diversity. FROM BRAZIL TO THE WORLD What to Know About Brazil Discovered in 1500, Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese, but its population is very diverse, with many races and ethnic groups. Brazil declared its independence in 1822, now being a Federal Republic with a multi-party political system, holding democratic elections.
