February 2020 FEBRUARY 2020 I'M TALKIN' JAZZ SUNDAY AT 8 AM 2/2 Mulgrew Miller with Lee Thomas Influential composer/pianist Miller contributed a slew of modern compositions that encompassed everything from Church and Blues strains to driving Hard Bop. His impressive creative output includes producing 15 albums as a leader and playing on over 400 albums as a sideman. 2/9 Dorthaan Kirk with Chuy Varela Jazz Advocate and radio host, Dorthaan has been a major force at WBGO for over four decades, curating and producing events supporting musicians and jazz education for children. 2/16 Max Roach with Dick Conte Considered among the most important drummers in history, bandleader and civil rights activist, Max Roach worked with the brightest stars in jazz. Most notably he co-led the pioneering quintet with trumpeter Clifford Brown and later led his own percussion ensemble M’Boom. 2/23 Wayne Wallace with Chuy Varela Five-time Grammy nominee, trombonist and bandleader Wayne Wallace is one of the more respected exponents of African American-Latin music in the world today well-known for his use of traditional forms in combination with contemporary music. JAZZ NIGHT IN AMERICA WITH CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE MONDAY AT 9 PM 2/3 Crosscurrents: East Meets West Virtuosity—of a dazzling, ebullient, yet altogether generous sort—might be the most obvious bridge between David Holland and Zakir Hussain. But there’s also a deep cultural foundation behind their musical dialogue, which forms the beating heart of a project called Crosscurrents. 2/10 ‘The Black Messiah’ And The Legacy Of Cannonball Adderley This episode of Jazz Night in America takes a fond look at the legacy of Cannonball Adderley, illuminating it from multiple angles. Guided by our host, self-avowed Cannonball fanatic Christian McBride, we’ll hear from some of Adderley’s former bandmates, and spend quality time with Patrick Bartley Jr., a young alto saxophonist who has taken Cannonball Adderley’s music and message to heart. 2/17 Wilco Guitarist Nels Cline Reclaims Mood Music In The City Of Brotherly Love The first and only performance of Lovers (for Philadelphia) took place at Union ransferT on June 2, and Jazz Night in America was there. We're there for an up-close-and-personal view of the concert, and get more insights on just how Cline and Leonhart made new tapestries of sound out of classic tunes like Benny Golson’s Whisper Not, McCoy Tyner’s Aisha, and The Delfonics’ “La-La (Means I Love You). 2/24 Electric Miles: Behind the Brew This episode of Jazz Night in America takes us behind the furious mystique of Bitches Brew, illuminating the musical and cultural forces Miles was metabolizing at the time. We’ll hear from an array of authorities on the subject — notably his second wife, funk heroine and fashion icon Betty Davis, who inspired his outrageous transformation in the Age of Aquarius.

  • “Cannonball” Adderley
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 101-106 (Summer 2013) Portrait of Cannonball: Cary Ginell's Walk Tall Dustin Mallory Walk Tall: The Music and Life of Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. By Cary Ginell. Milwaukee: Hal Leonard Books, 2013. 190 pp. $18.99. Very few jazz musicians can say that their band had a Top 20 single and a Top 20 album. Within that elite group of artists, only two men can state in the same breath that they also performed on jazz’s best-selling album of all time, Kind of Blue. One is Miles Davis and the other is Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. Cannonball’s success in album sales is just one measure of his achievements, albeit a tangible one. However, a casual stroll through the practice rooms of any jazz school in the country or jazz club in a city will aurally reveal the sheer volume of musicians that practice, perform, and revere the vocabulary that poured from Cannonball’s saxophone. Yet, despite the respect that Cannonball has been accorded over the years, both measureable and immeasurable, there is relatively little in the way of published biographical information. With the exception of the occasional feature in a periodical, an entry in The Encyclopedia of Jazz, a handful of scholarly works, and a few publications geared toward theory or discography,1 Mr. Adderley’s biography has gone largely unwritten. Furthermore, it can be said definitively that there is nothing in the marketplace that even closely resembles a comprehensive biography. Cary Ginell’s Walk Tall is one of the first publications that sets theory, analysis, and discography on the back burner in favor of history/biography.

Thesis, Georgia State University, 2015. https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/english_theses/191 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of English at ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. It has been accepted for inclusion in English Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. HOW THE PERFORMANCES, SONG LYRICS, AND ACTIVISM OF THE INDIGO GIRLS DEMONSTRATE THE MUTABLE COMPOSITION OF SOUTHERN IDENTITY by ALISON LAW Under the Direction of Gina Caison, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A common misconception about the southern region of the United States is that any one part of the region can stand alone as an accurate representation of the territory as a whole. To refute any notion of a homogeneous South and demonstrate the dynamic nature of an individual or community identity, I examine the history, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the folk-rock duo the Indigo Girls and their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. This project applies the theories of locational feminism found in Susan Stanford Friedman’s Mappings and New Southern Studies in Tara McPherson’s text Reconstructing Dixie . Analyzing the biographies, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the Indigo Girls as an archive of southern literature allows us to understand the fluid, multiplex nature of regional identity and view Atlanta as one “borderland” in a heterogeneous U.S.

  • Theologian, Musician, Author and Educator
    Theologian, Musician, Author and Educator The gift collections of Dr. Jon Michael Spencer A Catalogue of Books, Microfilm, Journals and Vertical Files Donated to the L. Douglas Wilder Library Virginia Union University Compiled by Suzanne K. Stevenson, Special Collections Librarian Michelle A. Taylor, Technical Services Librarian Library Bibliography Series ©Spring 2002 1 PREFACE Since 1998, Dr. Jon Michael Spencer has donated more than 1,100 books from his personal research library as well as selected journals, microfilm of historic papers and research documentation to the L. Douglas Wilder Library at Virginia Union University. The subject areas reflect his specialties in the history and theology of African-American sacred and secular music, African history and slave culture, and African-American history and sociology. The collection includes a significant number of hymnals from various denominations. The former University of Richmond music and American studies professor is now a professor of religious studies at the University of South Carolina. He earned a music degree from Hampton University and completed graduate work in music composition as well as theology at Washington University and Duke Divinity School. Spencer donated this extensive collection to VUU for several reasons. Until the summer 2000, he was a resident of Richmond and VUU was the city’s African American university. As well, VUU has a School of Theology and Spencer has published extensively in the area of religion. Finally, his architect father, John H. Spencer, participated in the design of the Wilder library. It is in the elder Spencer’s name that Dr. Spencer has donated his collections. The books are housed in the library’s closed collections.

  • Chicagoland Music Festival but from a Black Perspec- Omnipresent Backdrop
    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLIV, Number 2 Spring 2015 Black and White, then “Red” All Over: Chicago’s American Negro Music Festival Mark Burford, Reed College The functions of public musical spectacle in 1940s Chicago were bound up with a polyphony of stark and sometimes contradic- tory changes. Chicago’s predominantly African American South Side had become more settled as participants in the first waves of the Great Migration established firm roots, even as the city’s “Black Belt” was newly transformed by fresh arrivals that bal- looned Chicago’s black population by 77% between 1940 and 1950. Meanwhile, over the course of the decade, African Ameri- cans remained attentive to a dramatic narrowing of the political spectrum, from accommodation of a populist, patriotic progres- sivism to one dominated by virulent Cold War anticommunism. Sponsored by the Chicago Defender, arguably the country’s flagship black newspaper, and for a brief time the premiere black-organized event in the country, the American Negro Music Festival (ANMF) was through its ten years of existence respon- sive to many of the communal, civic, and national developments during this transitional decade.

  • Meaning, Value and Social Process in the South African History of Handel's Messiah
    THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MUSICAL TRADmON: MEANING, VALUE AND SOCIAL PROCESS IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN HISTORY OF HANDEL'S MESSIAH Submitted in fulfilment ofthe requirements for the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy, in the Graduate Programme in Music, University ofKwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. CHRISTOPHER COCKBURN December 2008 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own unaided work. All citations, references and borrowed ideas have been duly acknowledged. It is . being submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophyin the Faculty of Humanities, Development and Social Science, University of KwaZulu­ Natal, Durban, South Africa. None of the present work has been submitted previously for any degree or examination in any other University. 15 December 2008 111 ABSTRACT Handel's Messiah occupies a unique position in the musical life ofSouth Africa. No item from the canon of 'classical' European choral music has been performed more often, over a longer period oftime, and in a wider range ofsocial contexts. This thesis seeks to answer two broad and interrelated questions: what were the social processes which brought this situation about; and how were perceptions ofMessiah's meaning affected by its performance in social contexts markedly different from those ofits origins? I concentrate on the two South African choral traditions for which Messiah has been central- those ofthe 'English' and 'African' communities - and on the period from the first documented performance ofany item from Messiah until the emergence ofa pattern ofannual performances, which I take as a significant indicator ofthe historical moment at which the music could be regarded as firmly established in its new context.
