We’d like to think that in a highly partisan modern world, we actually live up to the credo: “We New York@Night Report, You Decide”. No segment of jazz or improvised music or avant garde or 4 whatever you call it is overlooked, since only as a full quilt can we keep out the cold of commercialism. Interview: Cooper-Moore Sometimes it is more difficult, especially during the bleak winter months, to 6 by Kurt Gottschalk put together a good mixture of feature subjects but we quickly forget about that when June rolls around. It’s an embarrassment of riches, really, this first month of Artist Feature: Orrin Evans summer.

  • Charles Mingus, Jazz and Modernism
    Charles Mingus, Jazz and Modernism by: Philippe Latour Schulich School of Music McGill University, Montreal December 2012 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Musicology. © Philippe Latour 2012 Table of Content Abstracts ----------------------------------------------------------- ii Acknowledgements ----------------------------------------------------------- iv Chapter 1 ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 Introduction Chapter 2 ----------------------------------------------------------- 15 Jazz Modernism Chapter 3 ----------------------------------------------------------- 45 Mingus‟ Conception of Jazz Conclusion ----------------------------------------------------------- 63 Bibliography ----------------------------------------------------------- 66 Appendices ----------------------------------------------------------- 71 i Abstracts The purpose of this thesis is to explore the diverse discourses of modernism in jazz at mid-century in relation to the work of Charles Mingus. What was meant by modern jazz in Mingus‟ time? How was his music, as well as his life as a jazz musician and composer, affected by discourses of modernism? Modernism was used in the jazz field as a discourse to elevate jazz from its role as entertainment music into a legitimate art form. In its transfer from European art music to African-American jazz, the concept of aesthetic modernism retained most of its signification: it was associated with the notions of progress, of avant-gardism, and, eventually, of political militancy; and all these notions can be found in multiple forms in Mingus‟ work. This thesis defines the concept of modern jazz as it was used in the jazz press in the 1950s and 1960s in relation to the critical discourse around Afro-modernism as well as in relation with Mingus‟ conception of himself as a composer. L’objectif de ce mémoire est d’explorer les différents discours sur le modernisme et le jazz des années 1950 et 1960 en relation avec l’œuvre de Charles Mingus.

Davies, Dean !!!!!!!Honors College Abstract ! This study will attempt to de-mystify some of the techniques utilized in contemporary large ensemble jazz arranging. Large ensemble writing has morphed drastically from its earlier, more well-known inceptions, and yet there is no academic literature out there to explain exactly what this change entails. Through this study, I will attempt to break down the components of this music in order to provide insight for the non-musician and inspiration for the aspiring jazz composer.
