    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

  • Trumpet Star Roy Hargrove Dies at 49 Iscovered by Wynton Marsalis While Dstill in His Teens, Roy Hargrove Bridged the Gaps Between Hard Bop, R&B and Hip-Hop
    Volume 46 • Issue 11 DeCember 2018 Journal of the New Jersey Jazz Society Dedicated to the performance, promotion and preservation of jazz. Trumpet Star Roy Hargrove Dies at 49 iscovered by Wynton Marsalis while Dstill in his teens, Roy Hargrove bridged the gaps between hard bop, R&B and hip-hop. He earned Grammys for Best Jazz Instrumental Album in 2003 for Directions in Music: Live at Massey Hall, featuring Herbie Hancock and Michael Brecker, and for Best Latin Jazz Performance in 1997 for Habana, a contemporary Afro-Cuban jazz project recorded in Havana with a melting pot band that included Chucho Valdes. He also struggled with substance abuse, pleading guilty to cocaine possession in Manhattan Criminal Court in 2014. But friends say he’d made positive strides since then. “Whatever it was for a lot of years, it was radically, drastically curtailed over the last year or two,” said his longtime man ager, Larry Clothier. “He was playing great; he really had himself back together. This last run we did in Europe, it was as good as I heard him play in the last 10 years.” He died of cardiac arrest at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City on Nov. 2 after being admitted for reasons related to kidney disease, just a day before he was sched uled to open the TD Bank James Moody Jazz Festival at Bethany Baptist Church in Newark. Trumpeter Jon Faddis performed at the Bethany Vespers in his place. Sanford Josephson’s obituary is on page 8.

  • Bates Belk Biography
    BATES BELK BIOGRAPHY Bates Belk is a global recording artist and music producer whose high energy, boundary-pushing songs and remixes have moved international audiences on dance floors in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and USA audiences in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami. In 2015, after 20 years of solely being based in New York City, Bates relocated to Berlin, Germany, where he continues to operate BB3 Dynamics Records LLC (www.BB3Dynamics.com) with offices in both Berlin and New York City. ​ ​ Bates globally released two Techno EPs in late 2015. The first Techno EP was released on 9 October, 2015 entitled Life Trichotomy containing a selection of philosophically-based theatrical ​ ​ Techno compositions written in Berlin, New York and London. The second Techno EP was released on 13 November, 2015 entitled Life Trichotomy Reincarnated – The ​ Remixes containing songs remixed by other artists from the Life Trichotomy EP. ​ ​ ​ In 2014 and 2015, Bates globally released a series of 6 electronic dance songs with the first song released in 2014 entitled OUTTASIGHT, followed by 2015 releases of the songs It’s in the ​ ​ ​ Mind, Bionic Power (Pushing Harder, Jumping Higher), Danger with a Stranger and Get Me to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the Disco. Bates is currently producing his début album in Berlin, which contains collaborations ​ with over 40 Berlin-based artists. Bates was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, USA. Growing up in a region of the United States not particularly known for its acceptance of the free-thinking outsider, Bates found in music something that could help him make sense of the world and partially fill the void caused by the lack of artistic encouragement.

This thesis offers a transcription and analysis of his improvisation on the Thelonious Monk composition “Let’s Cool One” which demonstrates five improvisational devices that define Rogers’s approach over this composition: micro-harmonization, rhythmic displacement, motivic development, thematic improvisation, and phrase rhythm. This thesis presents a window into the aesthetics of contemporary jazz improvisation and offers a prism for conceptualizing not only the work of Adam Rogers, but
