The original mono (CL 1085) and stereo (CS 8053) LP issues contained some different takes between them on various tracks, "Willow Weep for Me" being one of them. The CD (CBS 463342 2) liner notes say that "All The Things You Are and "Night and Day" were previously unreleased versions and that "Autumn Leaves" was an alternate take. Analyzing the two versions of "Autumn Leaves" shows that they are identical — but the LP has Ozzie Bailey's first vocal chorus (a French one) edited out. (There is indeed an alternate version of "Autumn Leaves" recorded September 9, 1957 available, on Duke Ellington & His Great Vocalists (Columbia CK 66372).) The stereo versions of "Mood Indigo" and "Willow Weep for Me" are different from their mono counterparts. There are a multitude of versions of this album in circulation.

BENJAMIN GIVAN uring his 2016 election campaign and early months in office, U.S. President Donald J. Trump was occasionally compared to a jazz musician. 1 His Dnotorious tendency to act without forethought reminded some press commentators of the celebrated African American art form’s characteristic spontaneity.2 This was more than a little odd. Trump? Could this corrupt, capricious, megalomaniacal racist really be the Coltrane of contemporary American politics?3 True, the leader of the free world, if no jazz lover himself, fully appreciated music’s enormous global appeal,4 and had even been known in his youth to express his musical opinions in a manner redolent of great jazz musicians such as Charles Mingus and Miles Davis—with his fists. 5 But didn’t his reckless administration I owe many thanks to Robert Adlington, Ben Bierman, and Dana Gooley for their advice, and to the staffs of the National Museum of American History’s Smithsonian Archives Center and the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

  • Pioneers of the Concept Album
    Fancy Meeting You Here: Pioneers of the Concept Album Todd Decker Abstract: The introduction of the long-playing record in 1948 was the most aesthetically signi½cant tech- nological change in the century of the recorded music disc. The new format challenged record producers and recording artists of the 1950s to group sets of songs into marketable wholes and led to a ½rst generation of concept albums that predate more celebrated examples by rock bands from the 1960s. Two strategies used to unify concept albums in the 1950s stand out. The ½rst brought together performers unlikely to col- laborate in the world of live music making. The second strategy featured well-known singers in song- writer- or performer-centered albums of songs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s recorded in contemporary musical styles. Recording artists discussed include Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, and Rosemary Clooney, among others. After setting the speed dial to 33 1/3, many Amer- icans christened their multiple-speed phonographs with the original cast album of Rodgers and Hammer - stein’s South Paci½c (1949) in the new long-playing record (lp) format. The South Paci½c cast album begins in dramatic fashion with the jagged leaps of the show tune “Bali Hai” arranged for the show’s large pit orchestra: suitable fanfare for the revolu- tion in popular music that followed the wide public adoption of the lp. Reportedly selling more than one million copies, the South Paci½c lp helped launch Columbia Records’ innovative new recorded music format, which, along with its longer playing TODD DECKER is an Associate time, also delivered better sound quality than the Professor of Musicology at Wash- 78s that had been the industry standard for the pre- ington University in St.

We invite you to consider the performances on McCallum’s Field Trip Series as non- print texts available for study and investigation by your students. Anyone who has shown a filmed version of a play in their classroom, used a website as companion to a textbook, or asked students to do online research already knows that “texts” don’t begin and end with textbooks, novels, and reading packets. They extend to videos, websites, games, plays, concerts, dances, radio programs, and a number of other non-print texts that students and teachers engage with on a regular basis. We know that when we expand our definition of texts to the variety of media that we use in our everyday lives, we broaden the materials and concepts we have at our disposal in the classroom, increase student engagement, and enrich learning experiences. Please consider how utilizing your McCallum performance as a text might align to standards established for reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language.

  • 2 Duke Ellington
    2 DUKE ELLINGTON Lesson Ideas Younger Students • Discuss Duke Ellington’s childhood and young adulthood with the students. Ask each student to imagine himself or herself as Duke Ellington. Each student creates a comic strip about life as child or teenage Duke Ellington. Comic strips can incorporate factual and imagined storylines. Showcase the finished comic strips in the classroom or compile into a newspaper. Distribute a newspaper photocopy to each student. • Provide students with white card stock and markers so they can construct a one-octave piano keyboard (with eight keys). Make your own to provide an example or allow students to model theirs using the classroom’s piano. Instruct students to write an adjective describing Duke on each piano key, based on what they have learned in class, and to draw a picture to accompany each qualifier. Examples of adjectives include musical, charismatic, noble, graceful, inventive and stylish. Play some of Duke Ellington’s music in the background as students create their piano keyboards. Older Students • Divide students into groups to record a podcast about Duke Ellington. Designate students for specific tasks: • Scriptwriters to write the podcast script • Podcast host to read the main narrative • Recording engineer to tape the podcast • Actors to read pretend commercials or act as interviewees • Sound effects artist You can choose to do a live newscast format instead of a podcast format depending on available resources and number of students. Recording is optional. • Duke Ellington became popular during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s. Langston Hughes, a prominent poet during the Harlem Renaissance, often wrote his poems while listening to jazz music at the local clubs.

At its core are openness to all influences, and personal expression through improvisation. Throughout its history, jazz has straddled the worlds of popular music and art music, and it has expanded to a point where its styles are so varied that one may sound completely unrelated to another.

  • 5. Who Wrote Duke Ellington's Music?
    [fresh page] [recto or verso] [cn][ct]5. Who wrote Duke Ellington’s music? Authorship and collective creativity in ‘Mood Indigo’ [au]Björn Heile ____________________________________________________________________ [txt] Musical copyright law is subtly informed by often tacit aesthetic preferences. For instance, it privileges melody over harmony. As the entry on ‘melody’ of the Music Copyright Infringement Resource (Columbia Law School and USC Gould School of Law 2014) has it: [ext] Melody is overwhelmingly the single most important feature of a musical work in evaluating the merits of copyright infringement claims. The entire corpus of judicial opinions in the area of music copyright infringement dwells on melody as the single most idiosyncratic element of the works in question, and almost entirely the locus of the economic worth of a song.1 [txt] The corresponding entry on harmony only describes the phenomenon in musical terms; its value and relevance in adjudicating copyright infringement claims is not even considered. Indeed, a judgment in a case between the estates of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn (very close to the matters discussed here) argues that ‘[h]armony 1 http://mcir.usc.edu/glossary/M-R/Pages/Melody.html, accessed 14 September 2014. is a derivative creation almost by definition. A composer generally creates a harmony to accompany a particular melody, as opposed to developing harmony in the abstract.’2 Although this confident pronouncement is only true of a very narrow selection of musical styles (whereas in many others melody largely arises from harmony or is inextricably bound up with it), there are fairly sound reasons for privileging melody over harmony in this way: harmony is often relatively anonymous; note, for instance, the importance of stock harmonic progressions such as I–vi–IV–V in popular music (Moore 2004: 334–35), to say nothing of even more ubiquitous progressions such as in the Blues.

  • 1959 Jazz: a Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959
    GELB, GREGG, DMA. 1959 Jazz: A Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 69 pp. Towards the end of the 1950s, about halfway through its nearly 100-year history, jazz evolution and innovation increased at a faster pace than ever before. By 1959, it was evident that two major innovative styles and many sub-styles of the major previous styles had recently emerged. Additionally, all earlier practices were in use, making a total of at least ten actively played styles in 1959. It would no longer be possible to denote a jazz era by saying one style dominated, such as it had during the 1930s’ Swing Era. This convergence of styles is fascinating, but, considering that many of the recordings of that year represent some of the best work of many of the most famous jazz artists of all time, it makes 1959 even more significant. There has been a marked decrease in the jazz industry and in stylistic evolution since 1959, which emphasizes 1959’s importance in jazz history. Many jazz listeners, including myself up until recently, have always thought the modal style, from the famous 1959 Miles Davis recording, Kind of Blue, dominated the late 1950s. However, a few of the other great and stylistically diverse recordings from 1959 were John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, and Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, which included the very well- known jazz standard Take Five. My research has found many more 1959 recordings of equally unique artistic achievement.
