  • Mingus, Nietzschean Aesthetics, and Mental Theater
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 16, No. 3 (2020) Music Performativity in the Album: Charles Mingus, Nietzschean Aesthetics, and Mental Theater David Landes This article analyzes a canonical jazz album through Nietzschean and perfor- mance studies concepts, illuminating the album as a case study of multiple per- formativities. I analyze Charles Mingus’ The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady as performing classical theater across the album’s images, texts, and music, and as a performance to be constructed in audiences’ minds as the sounds, texts, and visuals never simultaneously meet in the same space. Drawing upon Nie- tzschean aesthetics, I suggest how this performative space operates as “mental the- ater,” hybridizing diverse traditions and configuring distinct dynamics of aesthetic possibility. In this crossroads of jazz traditions, theater traditions, and the album format, Mingus exhibits an artistry between performing the album itself as im- agined drama stage and between crafting this space’s Apollonian/Dionysian in- terplay in a performative understanding of aesthetics, sound, and embodiment. This case study progresses several agendas in performance studies involving music performativity, the concept of performance complex, the Dionysian, and the album as a site of performative space. When Charlie Parker said “If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn” (Reisner 27), he captured a performativity inherent to jazz music: one is lim- ited to what one has lived. To perform jazz is to make yourself per (through) form (semblance, image, likeness). Improvising jazz means more than choos- ing which notes to play. It means steering through an infinity of choices to craft a self made out of sound.

  • Il Non-Jazz Di Giancarlo Schiaffini Pubblicato: April 19, 2012 Di Alberto Bazzurro
    Il non-jazz di Giancarlo Schiaffini Pubblicato: April 19, 2012 di Alberto Bazzurro A ottobre varcherà la soglia dei settant'anni ("Di soglie ne ho varcate parecchie - dice fra il serio e il faceto - e poi, essendo del '42, ho fatto persino un pezzo di guerra, sono una specie di reduce"). Intanto, Giancarlo Schiaffini, ha visto bene di dare alle stampe un libro il cui titolo, E non chiamatelo jazz (Auditorium), la dice già lunga sui contenuti. Approfittando della presentazione del volume all'ultimo Open Jazz Festival di Ivrea, ci siamo imbarcati in una bella chiacchierata col trombonista romano, dalla quale emerge non poco dello Schiaffini- pensiero. Di sicuro mai banale. All About Jazz: Partirei da un'annotazione di carattere aneddotico, che mi pare abbia non poco a che fare con questo tuo libro: quando ci siamo conosciuti, poco meno di trent'anni fa (doveva essere l'84: tu eri impegnato nel Prometeo di Luigi Nono), avevi detto una cosa che mi è rimasta impressa, e cioè che per logica pensavi di essere sia un jazzista che un musicista di area contemporanea, mentre invece quando parlavi con i jazzofili ti accorgevi che ti ritenevano un "contemporaneo," e quando parlavi con i cultori di questa musica capivi che ti consideravano un jazzista. Per ciascuna delle due sponde, quindi, appartenevi puntualmente all'altra. "Credevo di suonare due musiche - avevi chiosato - e invece ho dovuto arrendermi all'idea che non ne suonavo nessuna!" Giancarlo Schiaffini: Al di là della battuta, questo è un problema reale, tipicamente italiano, molto legato alle categorie, ai generi, in fondo ai mestieri, per cui la domanda è sempre la stessa: ma tu che musica fai? In giro per il mondo difficilmente te lo chiedono: ti vengono a sentire e si regolano di conseguenza.

  • Jazz at the Crossroads)
    MUSIC 127A: 1959 (Jazz at the Crossroads) Professor Anthony Davis Rather than present a chronological account of the development of Jazz, this course will focus on the year 1959 in Jazz, a year of profound change in the music and in our society. In 1959, Jazz is at a crossroads with musicians searching for new directions after the innovations of the late 1940s’ Bebop. Musical figures such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane begin to forge a new direction in music building on their previous success earlier in the fifties. The recording Kind of Blue debuts in 1959 documenting the work of Miles Davis’ legendary sextet with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb and reflects a new direction in the music with the introduction of a modal approach to composition and improvisation. John Coltrane records Giant Steps the culmination of the harmonic intricacies of Bebop and at the same time the beginning of something new. Ornette Coleman arrives in New York and records The Shape of Jazz to Come, an LP that presents a radical departure from the orthodoxies of Be-Bop. Dave Brubeck records Time Out, a record featuring a new approach to rhythmic structure in the music. Charles Mingus records Mingus Ah Um, establishing Mingus as a pre-eminent composer in Jazz. Bill Evans forms his trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian transforming the interaction and function of the rhythm section. The quiet revolution in music reflects a world that is profoundly changed. The movement for Civil Rights has begun. The Birmingham boycott and the Supreme Court decision Brown vs.
