    THE INDEPENDENT JOURNAL OF CREATIVE IMPROVISED MUSIC ODEAN POPE PHIL MINTON SKETY SCOTT ROBINSON STEVE COHN KEIKO JONES MONTREAL JAZZ FESTIVAL 2018 INTERNATIONAL JAZZ NEWS CD REVIEWS BOOK REVIEWS DVD REVIEWS OBITUARIES Volume 44 Number 4 Oct Nov Dec 2018 New Releases on CNM Records POCKET ACES, CULL THE HEARD (CNM032) - OUT NOW. - Pocket Aces emerged from the jazz trio tradition; where each voice balances the others through contrast, and surprise. Although freely improvised, the music of Pocket Aces is consciously compositional, given to bouts of form, groove, and crafty melodies. Distillation of ideas with a premium on space and tone provides a strong coherence as the trio navigates the familiar and unfamiliar. HOFBAUER/ROSENTHANL QUARTET, HUMAN RESOURCES (CNM033) - RELEASE DATE NOV. 9 THE HOFBAUER/ROSENTHAL QUARTET, unites four imaginative improvisors from Boston’s eclectic jazz scene. There’s a non-hierarchal notion of the ensemble in this project, an ideal of equality and a selfless determination built into every musical inclination, as they unabashedly swing at the intersection between the clarity and control of bop and the brash freedom of the avant-garde. ERIC HOFBAUER QUARTET, PREHISTORIC JAZZ VOL. 4: REMINISCING IN TEMPO - OUT NOW. Reimagining of the rarely heard 1935 long form Duke Ellington composition. "It's a musical jungle gym for the guitar fan, a close listening to Hofbauer's note choices and abstract connections to the song's structure is absolutely required listening." - Paul Acquaro, Free Jazz Blog.

    The Addams Family” Information Night

    “The Addams Family” Information Night May 22 – 7:30 p.m. @ Christ Church (1700 Mazo Crescent, Mississauga) Book by MARSHALL BRICKMAN and RICK ELICE Music and Lyrics by ANDREW LIPPA Based on Characters Created by Charles Addams THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents (Mal and Alice) have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Meanwhile, Fester will not allow the Family Ancestors back into the crypt until love triumphs. Things get worse when the rest of the household (Grandma, Lurch, Pugsley) get involved in a “Full Disclosure” of more zany misadventures. Everything will change for both families on this one fateful night. Original music includes: “When You’re an Addams”, Tango de Amor”, The Moon” and, of course, “The Addams Family Theme song”. Join us, for a creepy, spooky and all together “ooky” good time. We really are a scream, The Addams Family!

    RIGHTS CLAIMS THROUGH MUSIC a Study on Collective Identity and Social Movements

    RIGHTS CLAIMS THROUGH MUSIC A study on collective identity and social movements Dzeneta Sadikovic Department of Global and Political Studies Human Rights III (MR106S) Bachelor thesis, 15hp 15 ETC, Fall/2019 Supervisor: Dimosthenis Chatzoglakis Abstract This study is an analysis of musical lyrics which express oppression and discrimination of the African American community and encourage potential action for individuals to make a claim on their rights. This analysis will be done methodologically as a content analysis. Song texts are examined in the context of oppression and discrimination and how they relate to social movements. This study will examine different social movements occurring during a timeline stretching from the era of slavery to present day, and how music gives frame to collective identities as well as potential action. The material consisting of song lyrics will be theoretically approached from different sociological and musicological perspectives. This study aims to examine what interpretative frame for social change is offered by music. Conclusively, this study will show that music functions as an informative tool which can spread awareness and encourage people to pressure authorities and make a claim on their Human Rights.

I know that music made a tremendous difference in the anti- war movement of the 60s as well as the civil rights movement. Music is a powerful force that is often unrecognized. A song has a way of inspiring folks that nothing else comes even close to. We are in need of inspiring songs. One of the roles of a songwriter is not only to reflect on what is happening in the present but also to provide a vision of the future. What is your vision of the future? For some it is nihilistic bleakness – a very cynical response to our world. For others, it is filled with hope – we are somehow going to be able to figure out how we can live together and with all of creation. If you are a performer, I want to challenge you to get out of yourself and add songs that reflect your vision of the future to your repertoire.

Their signature blend of vocal agility and captivating showmanship has thrilled generations of fans worldwide. As they embark on the next chapter of their story, these pioneers of the genre are once again reshaping the possibilities of vocal music to create immersive and exhil arating experiences for audiences. The group’s history is a remarkable tale of renewal. In 1963, American 'born Ward Swingle assembled a group of Parisian session singers to sing Bach’s keyboard music. The resulting album, Jazz Sebastian Bach, launched the Swingle Singers to fame. Over five decades the group has sustained a level of international popularity beyond its founder’s wildest dreams, with each new singer bringing something fresh to the Swingle sound. The seven extraordinary voices that make up t oday’s young, London 'based Swingle Singers are the inheritors of an unbroken lineage going back to 1963 and share the original group’s innovative spirit. Their repertoire spans pop, classical, folk, latin and jazz music – and, for the first time in many ye ars, powerful original songs. All are delivered with unflagging passion and precision, using the human voice alone.
