PO Box 1236 Saratoga Springs NY 12866 USA duke ellington series black, brown, and beige (1943) Biographies: Edward Kennedy ‘Duke’ Ellington influenced millions of people both around the world and at home. In his fifty-year career he played over 20,000 performances in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East as well as Asia. Simply put, Ellington transcends boundaries and fills the world with a treasure trove of music that renews itself through every generation of fans and music-lovers. His legacy continues to live onward and will endure for generations to come. Wynton Marsalis said it best when he said, “His music sounds like America.” Because of the unmatched artistic heights to which he soared, no one deserves the phrase “beyond category” more than Ellington, for it aptly describes his life as well. When asked what inspired him to write, Ellington replied, “My men and my race are the inspiration of my work. I try to catch the character and mood and feeling of my people.” Duke Ellington is best remembered for the over 3,000 songs that he composed during his lifetime.

Denton, Texas August, 1996 37? mi M®, 7273 THE FUNCTION OF ORAL TRADITION IN MARY LOU'S MASS BY MARY LOU WILLIAMS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By France Fledderus, B.C.S. Denton, Texas August, 1996 Fledderus, France. The Function of Oral Tradition in Mary Lou's Mass by Mary Lou Williams. Master of Music (Musicology), August, 1996,141 pp., 44 titles. The musical and spiritual life of Mary Lou Williams (1910 - 1981) came together in her later years in the writing of Mary Lou's Mass. Being both Roman Catholic and a jazz pianist and composer, it was inevitable that Williams would be the first jazz composer to write a setting of the mass. The degree of success resulting from the combination of jazz and the traditional forms of Western art music has always been controversial. Because of Williams's personal faith and aesthetics of music, however, she had little choice but to attempt the union of jazz and liturgical worship. After a biography of Williams, discussed in the context of her musical aesthetics, this thesis investigates the elements of conventional mass settings and oral tradition found in Mary Lou's Mass.

  • STANLEY FRANK DANCE (K25-28) He Was Born on 15 September
    STANLEY FRANK DANCE (K25-28) He was born on 15 September 1910 in Braintree, Essex. Records were apparently plentiful at Framlingham, so during his time there he was fortunate that the children of local record executives were also in attendance. This gave him the opportunity to hear almost anything that was at hand. By the time he left Framlingham, he and some friends were avid record collectors, going so far as to import titles from the United States that were unavailable in England. By the time of his death, he had been writing about jazz longer than anyone had. He had served as book editor of JazzTimes from 1980 until December 1998, and was still contributing book and record reviews to that publication. At the time of his death he was also still listed as a contributor to Jazz Journal International , where his column "Lightly And Politely" was a feature for many years. He also wrote for The New York Herald- Tribune, The Saturday Review Of Literature and Music Journal, among many other publications. He wrote a number of books : The Jazz Era (1961); The World of Duke Ellington (1970); The Night People with Dicky Wells (1971); The World of Swing (1974); The World of Earl Hines (1977); Duke Ellington in Person: An Intimate Memoir with Mercer Ellington (1978); The World of Count Basie (1980); and Those Swinging Years with Charlie Barnet (1984). When John Hammond began writing for The Gramophone in 1931 he turned everything upside down and Stanley began corresponding with Hammond and they met for the first time during Hammond's trip to England in 1935.

I often have trouble remembering when something was published in DEMS, thus I thought to make this Table of Contents for the DEMS Bulletins (with Sjef Hoefsmit's permission, of course). The items below are listed in the order that they were published in DEMS. Issues are arranged in reverse chronological order. Each item consists of the DEMS issue and the title and page number of each article. You can search the article titles using the search function on your internet brower, which in Netscape is Ctrl + F (both keys at the same time). Thus, if you remember reading about a good place to buy discographies somewhere in a DEMS Bulletin, hit Ctrl + F, type discog into the search window (you don't have to type the whole word) and hit enter. You will be taken to the following entry: 2001/3 DEMS 4 : Discographies available from Arthur Newman Here you learn that Arthur Newman is the man and that the information you seek is in the 2001 DEMS Bulletin, issue number 3, on page 4. Admittedly you can only find entries if you remember a word from the title of the DEMS article, but I still found this useful. I began with the most current DEMS Bulletin and am working backwards.
