  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

  • INITIALS C.C. Liner Notes
    Chris Connelly : INITIALS C.C. Out-takes, Rarities and Personal Favourites 1982-2002 vol.1 01. Detestimony – Fini Tribe: This was the “A” side of an EP called “Let the Tribe Grow,” written and recorded when the Fini Tribe was going through great musical changes. We had acquired an Ensoniq ‘Mirage’ sampling keyboard, and as was the same for a lot of bands at the time, it changed everything, opened up a lot of doors, and led us into some very uncharted waters. The actual piece was whittled down from a fifteen-minute opus we had written. I remember being in Philip Pinsky’s bedroom one night with John Vick. Philip’s then-roommate, Lindsay, gave us an old quarter-inch reel of tape he had. On it was a beautiful recording of the church bells you hear on the song; we sampled them and came up with the melody. The EP actually did better than any of us had anticipated and became a sort of hit in the Ibiza clubs at the very advent of the acid house/rave phenomenon. We actually went ahead and re-wrote/re- structured the song for the WaxTrax! Records release (“Make it Internal/Detestimony Revisited”) a couple of years later. 02. Mania – Murder Inc.: Certainly what I feel is the most compelling song on the one and only album released by Murder Inc. The band was basically Killing Joke, minus Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke’s singer), plus me, as well as the original drummer, Paul Fergusson, and newer drummer, Martin Atkins. The sessions took place at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota during September of 1991.

  • New York Quartet
    NEW YORK STANDARDS QUARTET Tim Armacost David Berkman Gene Jackson Ugonna Okegwo 1 "Power of 10" is notable for its powerful music, intelligent interactions, excellent solos...The New York Standards Quartet takes music many listeners are familiar with, styles we can put a name to, and creates a program that illustrates just how alive jazz can be. RIC Richard Kamins, Hartford Courant 2 new york standards quartet biography When we formed the New York Standards Quartet (nysq) ten years ago, the concept was a straightforward one: play jazz standards in our own way. After playing a lot of original music (we all compose and lead bands that do that) we thought it would be fun and liberating to play music based on simpler, standard jazz tunes that we had grown up playing. By playing jazz standard tunes like “Confirmation” and “All the Things You Are,” we put the focus on the playing of the tune—what we do with it, not so much the tune itself. These tunes are blank slates to write on, with a lot of freedom and room for interpretation. We’ve expanded our approach to include arrangements and reinventions of these tunes, as well as original compositions that have a close connection to forms and harmonies derived from standards. The band has been touring and developing together for ten years, and it shows in the music. Audience response has been phenomenal, and bookings are pouring in from festivals and venues around the world. The New York Standards Quartet is Tim Armacost (Billy Hart, Ray Drummond, Kenny Barron) on saxes and flute, David Berkman (Tom Harrell, Cecil McBee, Vanguard Orchestra) on piano, Gene Jackson (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland) on drums, and Ugonna Okegwo (Brad Mehkdau, Tom Harrell, Kurt Rosenwinkel) on bass.
