JAEPL, Vol. 23, Winter 2017–2018 Writing as a Liberal Art in an Age Neither Artful Nor Liberal Doug Hesse Liberal, not as opposed to conservative, but as free, in contrast to imprisoned, subjugated, or incarcerated. —Gerald Greenberg y title, presented as a topic, implies a position. I should have replaced the word M“as” with the phrase “should be considered.” Whether in the following pages I can explain what it means to imagine required writing in the liberal arts tradition is the challenge. Is writing a subject like history or philosophy, for example, or is it like, well, First-Year Composition? In other words, is required writing defensible “in its own right” (to the degree any academic subject is these days), or is it an instrumental skill responsible to and warranted by its service to other disciplines? If you locate the roots of contempo- rary writing/composition studies in classical rhetoric (which I don’t necessarily—though that’s quite another talk), then in the centuries-of-yore days of the Trivium (dialectic, grammar, and rhetoric) writing historically was at the core of the liberal arts.

    JESSICA BOYKIN-SETTLES Two Heads Are Better Than One The Artistry of Shirley Horn ABSTRACT Washington, DC–born vocalist and pianist Shirley Horn was one of the most singular and respected musicians on the jazz scene during a career that spanned more than five decades. Despite minimal accolades, Horn’s contributions to the art form are rarely rivaled. She was a virtuoso pianist and Downloaded from http://online.ucpress.edu/res/article-pdf/1/2/163/407286/res.2020.1.2.163.pdf by MPS North America LLC, ucpress mpslimited on 01 December 2020 a genius song stylist. In a 1992 article in the Washington Post, prolific composer and arranger Johnny Mandel explained that “Horn’s playing wasn’t just self-accompaniment. It was percussive counterpart and harmonic commentary that worked with the singing to create a whole, a work of art that was more than the sum of its parts. ‘It’s almost as if when Shirley plays, she has two brains. I don’t know how she can play what she plays and sing what she sings. ...Playing piano like that is a very complex undertaking, and singing with that amount of sensitivity and concentration—she sounds like Siamese twins.’”1 Through recorded performances that best exhibit vocal phrasing, chord voicings, and comping patterns in the jazz tradition, Horn’s piano and vocal performance will be analyzed in order to demonstrate why her genius should occupy the top echelons of revered American musicians this country has ever produced. Jazz and classical musicians whom Horn cited as her biggest influences will be discussed to demonstrate how she absorbed and expertly integrated chosen elements of those individual styles into her own performance to create a distinctive sound and a unique approach to interpreting standard jazz repertoire.

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Forty-Sixth Street Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built during the mid-1920s, the Forty-Sixth Street was among the half-dozen theaters constructed by the Chanin Organization, to the designs of Herbert J. Krapp, that typified the development of the Times Square/Broadway theater district. Founded by Irwin S. Chanin, the Chanin organization was a major construction company in New York. During the 1920s, Chanin branched out into the building of theaters, and helped create much of the ambience of the heart of the theater district.
