  • Booker Little
    1 The TRUMPET of BOOKER LITTLE Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Feb. 11, 2020 2 Born: Memphis, April 2, 1938 Died: NYC. Oct. 5, 1961 Introduction: You may not believe this, but the vintage Oslo Jazz Circle, firmly founded on the swinging thirties, was very interested in the modern trends represented by Eric Dolphy and through him, was introduced to the magnificent trumpet playing by the young Booker Little. Even those sceptical in the beginning gave in and agreed that here was something very special. History: Born into a musical family and played clarinet for a few months before taking up the trumpet at the age of 12; he took part in jam sessions with Phineas Newborn while still in his teens. Graduated from Manassas High School. While attending the Chicago Conservatory (1956-58) he played with Johnny Griffin and Walter Perkins’s group MJT+3; he then played with Max Roach (June 1958 to February 1959), worked as a freelancer in New York with, among others, Mal Waldron, and from February 1960 worked again with Roach. With Eric Dolphy he took part in the recording of John Coltrane’s album “Africa Brass” (1961) and led a quintet at the Five Spot in New York in July 1961. Booker Little’s playing was characterized by an open, gentle tone, a breathy attack on individual notes, a nd a subtle vibrato. His soli had the brisk tempi, wide range, and clean lines of hard bop, but he also enlarged his musical vocabulary by making sophisticated use of dissonance, which, especially in his collaborations with Dolphy, brought his playing close to free jazz.

This specular catastrophe, prefigured by the myth of Narcissus, is inseparable from a process that renders the gaze opaque. [The Claude Glass: Use and Meaning of the Black Mirror in Western Art, Arnaud Maillet] III. Syphon IV. Shade This mirror creates, as it were, a hole in the wall, a door into the realm of the dead. But it also constitutes an epiphany, since the divinity is seen in all its glory and clarity. [Maillet] Improvising … hinges on one’s ability to synchronize intention and action and to maintain a keen awareness of, sensitivity to, and connection with the evolving group dynamics and experiences.

  • The Piano in the Ruins ——An Analysis of the Details and Character Creation in “Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA”
    Frontiers in Art Research ISSN 2618-1568 Vol. 1, Issue 4: 17-23, DOI: 10.25236/FAR.2019.010404 The Piano in the Ruins ——An Analysis of the Details and Character Creation in “Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA” Wenxi Guo Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100022, China ABSTRACT. In this paper, it is based on the film “Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA”, dividing the chapters into the film’s narrative and arrangement, lens’ analysis and detail application, and the character creation. This paper aims to give an analysis of Stephen Nomura Schible’s style of detail presentation and character creation. KEYWORDS: Film analysis;Stephen Nomura Schible; Ryuichi Sakamoto; Documentary 1. Introduction The documentary film, "Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA", directed by Stephen Nomura Schible was released in Japan in November 2017 (IMDb, 2018)[1]. In the musical terminology, coda means a passage that stresses the termination effect in the last paragraph of a movement, and its Japanese translation was called "Final Movement". The documentary was mainly edited in the chronological order from 2012 to 2017, a span of five years, involving films he joined in the past several decades, such as "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", "The Last Emperor", "The Sheltering Sky", "The Revenant" as well as the precious clips of YMO activities 40 years ago (IMDb, 2018)[1]. Based on the efforts made by Ryuichi Sakamoto in anti-nuclearism, pursuit in the naturality of music as well as the love of music that he can't give up, dividing the chapters according to his several important performances, taking the form of interviews, records and material collages, the documentary presented the music career of Ryuichi Sakamoto and his current state of life.

  • How Do the Grateful Dead and Deadheads 'Mean'?
    Matthew Tift University of Wisconsin-Madison “How Do the Grateful Dead and Deadheads ‘Mean’?” 09 March 2001 What exactly is a work of music? Is it the sounds we hear? Is it the sounds we are intended to hear? Is a musical work something that can only be defined using metaphors? Must it be organized sound? Is it beyond definition? About the only acceptable answer to these ontological questions is that the nature of a musical work is not universally understood. Nevertheless, by phrasing questions of musical identity differently, some popular music scholars find answers that are more rewarding. Richard Middleton, a well-respected popular music scholar, points out, “popular music analysis has insisted . on the priority of meaning.”1 One method for discussing meaning is to foreground questions of process, thereby avoiding questions of product. Simon Frith, another doyen of popular music studies, writes, “too often attempts to relate musical forms to social processes ignore the ways in which music is itself a social process.”2 By concentrating on social processes, one can more easily address such issues as musical meaning and social significance. This variety of analysis is sometimes described as process philosophy.3 Christopher Small’s advocation of process philosophy is perhaps the most resonant. Small is concerned with questions that address how musical activities are interconnected. In his 1998 book, Musicking, Christopher Small challenges the dominant Western idea of music as a thing and explores the idea of music as an activity. In fact, he creates a new word specifically for 1 Middleton, Reading Pop, 104.
