O’Connell, Joel Roberts, John Sharpe, Elliott Simon, Andrew Vélez, Ken Waxman Everyone sings. But not everyone is a singer. And fewer few are real jazz singers. But that Contributing Writers term is as inclusive as jazz itself. There are, of course, the totems of jazz singing, the Ellas and Duck Baker, Brian Charette, Sarahs and Billies to go with the Birds, Tranes and Monks, but the range of music created Brad Cohan, Phil Freeman, under the vocal jazz banner is vast and varied. Dianne Reeves (On The Cover) may be the jazz George Kanzler, Mark Keresman, Ken Micallef diva of her generation; find out for yourself over Valentine’s Day weekend at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater. Catherine Russell (Interview) was literally born into jazz via her Contributing Photographers musical parents but has an impressive resumé of her own; she performs this month at Zankel Reto Andreoli, Jacob Blickenstaff, Hall, Tribeca Performing Arts Center and The Rainbow Room. And while Swiss experimental Marv Goldschmitt, Erika Kapin, vocalist Andreas Schaerer (Artist Feature) won’t be on this side of the pond, we hope that his Jerris Madison, Alan Nahigian, Jack Vartoogian fans increase, fueled by his already-prolific discography, and that he’ll hit The Big Apple soon. Two sides of the jazz vocal coin are represented by avant garde songstress Linda Sharrock (Encore) and the late singer Helen Humes (Lest We Forget). And while it is only a part of its output, local record label Red Piano is making its own mark on vocal jazz. And our CD Reviews are front-loaded with a wide swath of new vocal releases (pg. 14-19). nycjazzrecord.com The voice was the first instrument but, like the bodies in which it resides, continues to evolve.

    Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67

    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

    Ella Fitzgerald Music Festival Subject: Ella Fitzgerald Music Festival Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 09:11:31 -0500 From: Paul Trible <[email protected]> To: [email protected] On November 25, we will publicly release the line-up for CNU's sixth annual Ella Fitzgerald Music Festival. I wanted to share this exciting news with you and give you the opportunity to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the general public. The Ella Fitzgerald Music Festival will run April30, May 1-3 and, as in years past, some of the biggest names in jazz will be performing on our campus. The festival will kick off on Wednesday, April 30 as we showcase the incredible talent that exists right here at CNU! Our own award winning Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Bill Brown promises an exciting evening of big band music and jazz standards. The CNU Vocal Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Lauren Fowler will also perform, singing in a variety of styles from swing to bebop. This evening of high energy and enormous talent is always a sell out. One of the most significant and important vocalists of this decade, Dianne Reeves, will perform on Thursday, May 1. With 11 recordings and three Grarnrny nominations to her credit, this Blue Note/EM! artist thrills audiences far and wide- from New York to London to Japan. Born in Detroit in 1956 and raised in Denver, Reeves says that music was a treasured gift from her family. Her eclectic style ranges from pop, to rhythm and blues, to soul, to marvelous jazz standards.

Buket Cengiz reports on an event marked by star-studded concerts and discussions that revealed the ’heretofore unknown’ rhetorical powers of bassist Marcus Miller On 30 April, the sun shone with the hum of jazz tunes in Istanbul, inviting Istanbulites to wake up f or a day of a sweet rush in the host city f or International Jazz Day 2013.

Throughout the year, there is an abundance of clubs to choose f rom, and thanks to its temperate climate, there are open air concerts and f estivals as well. All year round, rock and indie, classical, ethnic and f olk, and of course jazz tunes f lit about the city, particularly during the never-ending summer nights. Istanbul is proud of its two international jazz f estivals: The Istanbul Jazz Festival organized by Istanbul Foundation f or Culture and Arts (IKSV), which will celebrate its 20th anniversary this July, and the Akbank Jazz Festival, which will be held f or the 23rd time this September.

It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.

This is the Jazz Oral History Program interview for the Smithsonian Institution with Art Farmer in one of his homes, at least his New York based apartment, conducted by Anthony Brown. Mr. Farmer, if I can call you Art, would you please state your full name? Farmer: My full name is Arthur Stewart Farmer. Brown: And your date and place of birth? Farmer: The date of birth is August 21, 1928, and I was born in a town called Council Bluffs, Iowa. Brown: What is that near? Farmer: It across the Mississippi River from Omaha. It’s like a suburb of Omaha. Brown: Do you know the circumstances that brought your family there? Farmer: No idea. In fact, when my brother and I were four years old, we moved Arizona. Brown: Could you talk about Addison please? Farmer: Addison, yes well, we were twin brothers. I was born one hour in front of him, and he was larger than me, a bit. And we were very close. For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] 1 Brown: So, you were fraternal twins? As opposed to identical twins? Farmer: Yes. Right.

She has eschewed genre for originality, celebrity for longevity, and musicals trends for musical truths. She has lived through the boom and bust of the industry and emerged just as she entered - unequivocally herself. Fans have come to expect the unexpected from Meshell, and faithfully followed her on sojourns into soul, spoken word, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, rock, all bound by a lyrical, spiritual search for love, justice, respect, resolution, and happiness. Groove driven, infectiously melodic and lyrically meditative, Meshell’s latest album, Comet, Come To Me, finds her returning to the same well of creativity that launched her career.
