Indeed, from a position of relative obscurity when he arrived in New York in 1959, he went on to become one of contemporary jazz’s most prolific and commercially successful composers. The main focus of this dissertation will be Zawinul’s rise to prominence in American jazz during the 1960s and 1970s.

  • “Cannonball” Adderley
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 101-106 (Summer 2013) Portrait of Cannonball: Cary Ginell's Walk Tall Dustin Mallory Walk Tall: The Music and Life of Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. By Cary Ginell. Milwaukee: Hal Leonard Books, 2013. 190 pp. $18.99. Very few jazz musicians can say that their band had a Top 20 single and a Top 20 album. Within that elite group of artists, only two men can state in the same breath that they also performed on jazz’s best-selling album of all time, Kind of Blue. One is Miles Davis and the other is Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. Cannonball’s success in album sales is just one measure of his achievements, albeit a tangible one. However, a casual stroll through the practice rooms of any jazz school in the country or jazz club in a city will aurally reveal the sheer volume of musicians that practice, perform, and revere the vocabulary that poured from Cannonball’s saxophone. Yet, despite the respect that Cannonball has been accorded over the years, both measureable and immeasurable, there is relatively little in the way of published biographical information. With the exception of the occasional feature in a periodical, an entry in The Encyclopedia of Jazz, a handful of scholarly works, and a few publications geared toward theory or discography,1 Mr. Adderley’s biography has gone largely unwritten. Furthermore, it can be said definitively that there is nothing in the marketplace that even closely resembles a comprehensive biography. Cary Ginell’s Walk Tall is one of the first publications that sets theory, analysis, and discography on the back burner in favor of history/biography.

  • From Guy Warren to Kofi Ghanaba: a Life of Transatlantic (Dis)Connections
    Individual Life From Guy Warren to Kofi Ghanaba: A Life of Transatlantic (Dis)Connections Robin D. G. Kelley “ here has never been anybody in the history of Jazz music like me . I am Tto Jazz music what Kwame Nkrumah was to modern African politics.”1 These bold words belong to the late Kofi Ghanaba, the Ghanaian-born drum- mer who pioneered jazz-African fusion music during the era of decolonization. Anyone familiar with Ghanaba and his music, whether as the wise African in Haile Gerima’s celebrated film “Sankofa,” or as the young, dynamic percussion- ist Guy Warren who had taken London, Chicago, and New York by storm in the 1950s, will immediately recognize his legendary hubris. But there is a grain of truth here beyond his conceit. Their lives might be read as parallel stories of two important Ghanaian-born intellectuals whose transatlantic travels between the United States, the United Kingdom, and West Africa profoundly shaped their politics, ideas, and identities. Both men studied at Achimota College in the Gold Coast; both men spent time in the United Kingdom where they encountered an African diasporic community whose politics and art widened their horizons; and both men spent several years in the United States, which they initially envi- sioned as a land of freedom and possibility in an era when the United Kingdom’s imperial fortunes were declining and the so-called American Century was beginning. Nkrumah first arrived in London in 1935, just after Italy invaded Ethiopia. Although he was passing through en route to the United States, Nkrumah fell in with a group of like-minded activists mobilizing against the occupation and demanding that the League of Nations protect Ethiopia’s sovereignty.

Master of Arts (Music), May 2007, 86 pp., 19 musical examples, references, 124 titles. The fact that Davis changed his mind radically several times throughout his life appeals to the curiosity. This thesis considers what could be one of the most important and definitive changes: the change from hard bop to modal jazz. This shift, although gradual, is best represented by and culminates in Kind of Blue, the first Davis album based on modal style, marking a clear break from hard bop. This thesis explores the motivations and reasons behind the change, and attempt to explain why it came about. The purpose of the study is to discover the reasons for the change itself as well as the reasons for the direction of the change: Why change and why modal music?

  • Blue in Green” and “Nefertiti”
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 11, no. 1, pp. 105-120 (2016) Circular Thinking—A Roundtable on “Blue in Green” and “Nefertiti” Keith Waters, Henry Martin, Steve Larson, Steven Strunk INTRODUCTION Herbie Hancock described one of his mid-1960s jazz compositions by saying “it doesn’t have any cadences; it just keeps moving around in a circle.”1 Many such “circular tunes” emerged in the 1960s, and were particularly associated with Miles Davis. Our joint talk examines two circular jazz compositions. Henry Martin and Steve Larson will discuss “Blue in Green” by Bill Evans, and Keith Waters and Steve Strunk will discuss “Nefertiti” by Wayne Shorter. Small group jazz improvisation typically features chorus structure. Repeated choruses provide the formal framework for the head and the improvisations. Figure 1 depicts the more common situation. In most standard (that is, non- circular) jazz compositions, harmonic or melodic closure takes place at the end of each chorus. Figure 2, in contrast, shows that circular tunes contain an intriguing formal overlap that both requires and camouflages the return to the top of each chorus. Music events taking place at the end of the chorus avoid closure and link forward to the return at the top of the composition, which no longer sounds like a beginning. Figure 1. Chorus Structure in Jazz: Non-circular Tunes. 1 Quoted in Baker et al. 1978, 122. copyright by author 105 106 Journal of Jazz Studies Figure 2. Chorus Structure in Jazz: Circular Tunes. A number of features found in these tunes contribute to their circularity:2
