  • INTRODUCTION: BLUE NOTES TOWARD a NEW JAZZ DISCOURSE I. Authority and Authenticity in Jazz Historiography Most Books and Article
    INTRODUCTION: BLUE NOTES TOWARD A NEW JAZZ DISCOURSE MARK OSTEEN, LOYOLA COLLEGE I. Authority and Authenticity in Jazz Historiography Most books and articles with "jazz" in the title are not simply about music. Instead, their authors generally use jazz music to investigate or promulgate ideas about politics or race (e.g., that jazz exemplifies democratic or American values,* or that jazz epitomizes the history of twentieth-century African Americans); to illustrate a philosophy of art (either a Modernist one or a Romantic one); or to celebrate the music as an expression of broader human traits such as conversa- tion, flexibility, and hybridity (here "improvisation" is generally the touchstone). These explorations of the broader cultural meanings of jazz constitute what is being touted as the New Jazz Studies. This proliferation of the meanings of "jazz" is not a bad thing, and in any case it is probably inevitable, for jazz has been employed as an emblem of every- thing but mere music almost since its inception. As Lawrence Levine demon- strates, in its formative years jazz—with its vitality, its sexual charge, its use of new technologies of reproduction, its sheer noisiness—was for many Americans a symbol of modernity itself (433). It was scandalous, lowdown, classless, obscene, but it was also joyous, irrepressible, and unpretentious. The music was a battlefield on which the forces seeking to preserve European high culture met the upstarts of popular culture who celebrated innovation, speed, and novelty. It 'Crouch writes: "the demands on and respect for the individual in the jazz band put democracy into aesthetic action" (161).

  • (POETRY MANUSCRIPT) by JEFF NEWBERRY
    TRANSPOSING THE TRADITION: JAZZ, LYRIC POETRY, AND THE INDIVIDUAL TALENT & BRACKISH (POETRY MANUSCRIPT) by JEFF NEWBERRY (Under the Direction of Edward Pavlić) ABSTRACT Brackish is a collection of poems preceded by the critical introduction, “Transposing the Tradition: Jazz, Lyric Poetry, and the Individual Talent.” Brackish explores the writer’s experiences coming of age on the coast of Northwest Florida, using brackish water as its central metaphor. Neither fresh nor salty, brackish water is a mixture of both. It retains elements of salt water and fresh water and finds identity in the fact that it is neither. The lyric voice in Brackish moves in this way: it is neither a child’s voice nor an adult’s voice, but a voice that stands between those two poles, retaining a child’s sense of discovery and mystery and an adult’s awareness of the larger world. In this way, the poems explore the tenuous gap between innocence and experience. “Transposing the Tradition: Jazz, Lyric Poetry, and the Individual Talent” develops the theory of lyric transposition, a way of understanding jazz-influenced poetry. Like jazz standards, poems often cover familiar territory; and like a jazz musician, a poet develops an individual voice in the context of familiar material. What separates a poem from others on similar subjects or themes is the poet’s voice. Lyric transposition describes the movement from subject matter to the poet’s register, the way that musical transposition describes the movement from a song’s original key to another key, more appropriate for a particular musician. This theoretical perspective frames a discussion and reading of three jazz-influenced works of poetry: Michael S.

  • 86 the Special
    Eighty-Six the Special by ML Kennedy 2018 [email protected] INT. DINER - NIGHT The diner is slightly dirty and mostly empty. A BUSBOY (19) is wiping down booths with a well-worn towel and a WAITRESS (40) is marrying bottles of ketchup. A BEARDED MAN (40) is sitting by himself in a large booth. He is in a back corner of the diner, but still has a good view of the front window. He is wearing a hoodie, dark glasses and a hat, as though he were in a poker tournament or wearing some sort of low-key disguise. The man pushes his cup of coffee to the edge of the table. The waitress looks annoyed. She removes the carafe from the warmer, walks over to the man's table and fills his cup with dark, burnt-looking coffee. She speaks as she pours. WAITRESS The kitchen is closing soon. It's kinda now or never if you want anything. BEARDED MAN You have waffles? WAITRESS Only on Sunday mornings. BEARDED MAN What about a Monte Cristo? WAITRESS I don't know what that is. BEARDED MAN Well, what do you have here? The waitress looks down at the menu resting on the table directly in front of the man, and stifles a sigh as best she can. WAITRESS Burgers, hot dogs, soups, salads, omelettes, pancakes, cottage cheese, toast, fruit cups, pudding, baklava, ice cream and probably something else I'm forgetting. BEARDED MAN Pizza? (CONTINUED) Created using Celtx 2. CONTINUED: (2) WAITRESS Nope. BEARDED MAN Can you come back? WAITRESS I can, but by that point I will not be able to offer you food.
