  • THE SHARED INFLUENCES and CHARACTERISTICS of JAZZ FUSION and PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014
    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……………………………………………………………………………….

  • C O N N E C T
    Charles Tolliver C O N N E C T CONNECT was released by Gearbox Records on July 31, 2020. It is Tolliver’s first studio album in 13 years. The line-up features top musicians from the New York jazz scene who have collectively played with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Nancy Wilson, and Chick Corea. Forming as the Charles Tolliver All Stars, the band includes Jesse Davis on alto saxophone, Keith Brown on piano, Buster Williams on double bass, and Lenny White on drums. The album also bridges together New York and London by featuring leading British saxophonist Binker Golding on two tracks. It was recorded and mixed by Tony Platt of RAK Studios. “…the record takes a historical view—but its aim is not to evoke specific dates or even a linear chronology. It’s more like an exhibition of varying flavors that have developed under the aegis of jazz. “My thought was to have a package where each song had a different rhythm,” Tolliver says. “They have different harmonic and melodic scopes, too. But the rhythm, well, it’s everything. The drum is central to this music. You cannot call this music ‘jazz,’ that nomenclature, without the drum. Take it out, and it’s just not the same.” >>Read full feature interview with Bandcamp CONNECT on Bandcamp CONNECT on Apple Music Live performance of ‘Suspicion’ “…a fine consolidation of the vocabulary the trumpeter has devised over five decades, which is a deeply touching take on hard bop and modal jazz…At the age of 78, Tolliver has deserved elder statesman status, and this is the kind of cultured work, with intellect and emotion in symbiosis, that befits an artist who has contributed a great deal to modern music during a lengthy, eventful career.” - Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise, ★★★★ “A great unexpected gift… He still has so much fire in his playing and he’s got such a mind for composition… It really coheres as a band.

  • CHICK COREA INTERVIEW by Eric Myers
    CHICK COREA INTERVIEW by Eric Myers _____________________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald on February 24, 1982] espite all the talk about jazz becoming increasingly popular over the last ten years or so, the music has produced few superstars with a D genuine mass following. One of those few, however, is the American composer and pianist Chick Corea, who will perform two concerts with his quintet tonight at the Regent Theatre. US pianist/composer Chick Corea, one of the few jazz superstars with a genuine mass following: freedom to write his own tab… PHOTO CREDIT ALAN PURCELL SYDNEY MORNING HERALD 1 Corea served his apprenticeship during the 1960s with various bands, including the essential finishing-school for great modern jazz musicians, the Miles Davis group, which he joined in 1968. With ideas of incorporating rock rhythms into jazz, Corea formed his electronic ensemble, Return To Forever, in 1972, playing the kind of high-decibel jazz rock fusion music which had tremendous appeal to young people throughout the world. One version of Chick Corea’s group Return To Forever, L-R, Lenny White (drums), Corea (keyboards), Al Di Meola (guitar), Stanley Clarke (bass)… By 1976, when the group disbanded, Chick Corea had become one of the biggest drawcards in jazz. Some people see overwhelming popular acceptance as inimical to the spirit of jazz. Has Chick Corea's huge commercial success (including five Grammy awards) hindered his development as an artist? "So far as recognition by the public is concerned, it has certainly provided me with a channel through which I can communicate with humanity, which is actually one of my goals in life," he says.

  • Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea Has Attained Iconic Status in Music
    Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea has attained iconic status in music. The keyboardist, composer and bandleader is a DownBeat Hall of Famer and NEA Jazz Master, as well as the fourth- most nominated artist in Grammy Awards history with 63 nods – and 22 wins, in addition to a number of Latin Grammys. From straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to jazz-rock fusion, children’s songs to chamber and symphonic works, Chick has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his career since playing with the genre-shattering bands of Miles Davis in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Yet Chick has never been more productive than in the 21st century, whether playing acoustic piano or electric keyboards, leading multiple bands, performing solo or collaborating with a who’s who of music. Underscoring this, he has been named Artist of the Year twice this decade in the DownBeat Readers Poll. Born in 1941 in Massachusetts, Chick remains a tireless creative spirit, continually reinventing himself through his art. As The New York Times has said, he is “a luminary, ebullient and eternally youthful.” Chick’s classic albums as a leader or co-leader include Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (with Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes; Blue Note, 1968), Paris Concert (with Circle: Anthony Braxton, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul; ECM, 1971) and Return to Forever (with Return to Forever: Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreria and Flora Purim; ECM, 1972), as well as Crystal Silence(with Gary Burton; ECM, 1973), My Spanish Heart (Polydor/Verve, 1976), Remembering Bud Powell (Stretch, 1997) and Further Explorations (with Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian; Concord, 2012).
