TPAC Education About Hypnotic Brass Ensemble page 2 Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is a group of seven brothers playing four trumpets, two trombones, and a baritone horn with additional players on bass and drums. Together they create a bold, energetic, and original sound that grooves and broods with elements of jazz, street music, big band, New Orleans, marching band, funk, and hip hop. Their unique ensemble and powerful music has its foundations in their one-of-a-kind story. These seven are all sons of jazz trumpet great, Phil Cohran (Cō – RAN) and were raised in Chicago’s South Side. While the brothers have different mothers between them, they lived in the same home and were trained together by their father. Eight brothers make up the original core members of the ensemble, although they are currently playing as a group of seven. The brothers all play horns with an added “backline” of bass, drums, and electric guitar, played by musicians who, while not family members, are like family. Family Tradition The music of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is a direct extension of their upbringing and their father’s political philosophies and social activism. Recently deceased patriarch, Phil Cohran (May 8, 1927 – June 28, 2017) was an influential and innovative musician, composer, inventor, educator, and activist whose work had a major impact on the Chicago music and cultural scene for decades, beginning in the 50’s and 60’s. He was a founder of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), which celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2015. He was also a founding member of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Artistic Heritage Ensemble, and the Afro-Arts Theater. In honor of his 90th birthday, the Jazz Foundation of America honored him with its annual lifetime achievement award. In addition, he mentored and influenced the music of Chaka Khan, as well as Maurice White from Earth, Wind & Fire, with whom he toured for several years. A Father’s Influence Naturally, Phil most profoundly influenced his own sons. From the age of 4 and 5, the brothers woke at 5:00am each morning to study their instruments with their father, with support from their musically accomplished mothers, before going to school. The brothers practiced long tones, tonguing exercises, and performance repertoire. Their practice was meditative and spiritual; providing a way for the family to commemorate the day. Playing “long tones” together developed their skills while connecting the brothers to their instruments, each other and the natural world. In their early years, the boys would perform their repertoire with their father as Phil Cohran & His Youth Ensemble. Their father's teachings went beyond horns to include science, history, health, and astronomy. As the boys grew older, the rigor of their training alongside school became a strain and several of them stopped playing for a time. While the eldest brothers started college, the youngest brothers started playing cover tunes in the streets of Chicago’s downtown Loop. Their street playing proved lucrative and enticed the older brothers to return to their instruments and join their brothers once again. Branching Out Having been reared and trained together, the brothers soon developed an intuitive way to collaboratively write their own music. The success of their street playing eventually led them to New York City. High profile appearances followed with everyone from Mos Def to Prince, as well as international recognition, extensive touring, and their composition, “War,” being selected for the soundtrack of blockbuster film,The Hunger Games. The brothers are also the subject of a documentary film, Brothers Hypnotic, in which their lives, music, work ethic, and the experience of being Phil Cohran’s sons are all explored. About Hypnotic Brass Ensemble page 3 Finding Their Own Voice Despite the difficulties in balancing their commitment to their father’s legacy with their efforts to compose music that embraces the sounds and styles of their own generation, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble has remained true to many of the principles they learned long ago. In particular, they are dedicated to the idea of remaining more independent than commercial in their approach to their music careers and determined that their music must always be shared on the streets to reach the people who need it most. The following description of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble’s music by Sasha Frere-Jones in his 2009 New Yorker piece remains both accurate and astute: The music that Hypnotic plays might best be described as highly composed instrumental hip-hop. If it is jazz, it’s closer in spirit to jazz from a hundred years ago: accomplished and energetic music parcelled out in short songs designed for dancing. It stays in key for long stretches, and moves in easy-to-follow periods. In a typical Hypnotic song, the shifts in key and the emergence of themes happen against a sound of massed horn parts that provide a sense of solidity. The music stays rooted to the cycle of the beat and the riff, and the players don’t leave the center behind to leap around as they might in hard bop or free jazz. Unlike the musicians in the avant-garde community that Hypnotic grew up in, these players have no interest in dissonance or “out” passages of squeaking and skronking. They keep their compositions lean and their harmonies broad and varied.

Because the link is unpublished, teachers and students can’t search for it on YouTube, but can only find it through our links or by typing this address: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLysN7XkvhlvWP6nVAbCVp9qs2ksSIdrTm The playlist begins with two videos that are trailers for the documentary, Brothers Hypnotic. They show intriguing clips of the early development and current creative life of the brothers. If you want to watch the full documentary, it is offered on several streaming services listed here:http://hypnoticbrassfilm.com/ Next, there are eight videos of music pieces (#’s 3-10 below). Have students listen the first time through without looking at the screen. Encourage them to concentrate on the aural experience without a visual, to feel the music and hear the different horn voices. After listening, look at both videos of “War” (#3 and #10 below). One is the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble official video and well worth watching, with historic footage of conflict and protest. The other video filmed the ensemble playing at a festival, showing that their instruments are not restricted to concert halls and parade grounds. The last ten selections on the playlist (#’s 11-20) include additional selections that correspond with lesson #5 (pages 14-16) in this guidebook. Playlist 1. Sound + Vision trailer - Length - 2:09 This first video is a short trailer shown at The Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Sound + Vision film festival in 2013.

Cline Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Permanent Underground: Radical Sounds and Social Formations in 20th Century American Musicking Committee: Mark C. Smith, Supervisor Steven Hoelscher Randolph Lewis Karl Hagstrom Miller Shirley Thompson Permanent Underground: Radical Sounds and Social Formations in 20th Century American Musicking by John F. Cline, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my mother and father, Gary and Linda Cline. Without their generous hearts, tolerant ears, and (occasionally) open pocketbooks, I would have never made it this far, in any endeavor. A second, related dedication goes out to my siblings, Nicholas and Elizabeth. We all get the help we need when we need it most, don’t we? Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my dissertation supervisor, Mark Smith. Even though we don’t necessarily work on the same kinds of topics, I’ve always appreciated his patient advice. I’m sure he’d be loath to use the word “wisdom,” but his open mind combined with ample, sometimes non-academic experience provided reassurances when they were needed most. Following closely on Mark’s heels is Karl Miller. Although not technically my supervisor, his generosity with his time and his always valuable (if sometimes painful) feedback during the dissertation writing process was absolutely essential to the development of the project, especially while Mark was abroad on a Fulbright.

  • Chicago Music Communities and the Everyday Significance of Playing Jazz
    MUSIC PRACTICES AS SOCIAL RELATIONS: CHICAGO MUSIC COMMUNITIES AND THE EVERYDAY SIGNIFICANCE OF PLAYING JAZZ by John Frederic Behling A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Mark Allan Clague, Chair Professor Paul A. Anderson Professor Kelly M. Askew Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett Copyright John Frederic Behling 2010 Acknowledgements In this dissertation, I argue that the solos of jazz musicians spring from the practices of the communities in which they live. What holds true for expression and creativity in jazz is no less true of academic research and writing. This dissertation would not be possible without the support and encouragement of many communities and individuals. I thank all the musicians in Chicago who played music with me and welcomed me into their communities. I am especially grateful to Aki Antonia Smith, Edwina Smith, Scott Earl Holman, and Ed Breazeale for befriending me and introducing me to the musicians and communities about whom I write. I am also grateful for the support of my academic community. Kelly Askew introduced me to the anthropological side of ethnomusicology. Her writing showed me what compassionate and concrete ethnography should be like. Paul Anderson’s late night seminars helped me understand that musical practices have philosophical and psychological significance and that jazz criticism is part of a much larger and long- standing intellectual conversation. Charles Hiroshi Garrett, a late addition to my committee, embraced this project with enthusiasm. His generous encouragement and insightful comments are greatly appreciated.

To my mother, Azelma Dolores Chism, who, by her example, taught me to not wait until “didn’t.” (Don’t worry, you’ll read about “didn’t”), and not to ever, ever give up until you’ve won, or died trying. To my big brother-brother, Marcus Burnell Chism, aka, Yeshiah Ben Shaleak, who, by concrete example, taught me that nobody defines me, and nobody corrals me, because I’m “a man on the planet, unbound.” To my wife of 31 years, Morna, whose external life, every single nano- second, reflects her inner spiritual belief in, reliance upon, and love of The Divine and gives me a daily example to continue trying to emulate. Without her, I could do nothing. To Carl Ferrel, who taught me how “to chess.” To Leroy Hardy, aka, Chaka Ra, who, for many of us young “Black-consciousness” men of Chicago, back in the late 1960s, greatly extended my big brother’s man- on-the-planet perspective of self, and who refused to serve as an ear for excuses. To the awesome, tough-love, no-excuses-accepted, progressive Black community of pre-1960s America, which produced, all over the United States, strong independent Black institutions and economies, regardless of segregation.

Also note the attention that Ellington's soloists gave to timbre and envelope (attack, change of timbre and loudness over time, and decay), like many others who began their careers in early jazz of the 1920s. Wide variation of timbre and envelope were less often used as expressive devices (except by a few players) in late swing, bebop and early modern jazz of the late 1930s through the 1950s. Exceptions during that period, especially in rhythm and blues, were viewed by many in the jazz world as unsophisticated, vulgar, and/or a means of pandering to audiences' bad taste. In the 1960s, avant-garde players reclaimed wide variations in timbre and envelope as important expressive parameters. 2.
