Denne aften bakkes hun op af tre af europæisk jazz’ store musikere, som har spillet med store sangerinder lige fra Norma Winstone og Radka Toneff til Dee Dee Brigdewater og Nancy Wilson. Diana Torto is one of Europe’s new great female singers, and in March she took the Montmartre audience by storm. Her voice covers an exceptional span and her classic background allows for highly unusual technicalities both when performing her own songs and standards. On stage with her this evening are three of the greatest European jazz names who have previously played with female singers from Norma Winstone and Radka Toneff to Dee Dee Bridgewater and Nancy Wilson.

Det gælder både deres egne kompositioner, og når de spiller standards og kendte italienske melodier. Det er en oplevelse, man ikke bør gå glip af.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN 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 Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.

    GERARD PRESENCER CHASING REALITY Gerard Presencer mit Geoffrey Keezer Joe Locke u.a. ACT 9422-2 Veröffentlichung: 24. Februar 2003 Seinen Ton kennt fast jeder, die meisten freilich, ohne es zu wissen: es ist Gerard Presencer, der mit seiner Trompete auf dem US3-Hit ““ prominent zu hören ist, einem Stück, das nicht nur ein neu einsetzendes Interesse am Jazz entfachte, sondern es in Deutschland bis zur Titelmelodie einer Fernseh- Talkshow brachte. Aber auch auf dem gesamten dazugehörigen Blue-Note-Album “On The “ das sich millionenfach verkaufte, ist der Trompeter präsent. Vorher machte er auf sich aufmerksam, als er im zarten Alter von 18 Jahren in der Band des Rolling-Stones- Schlagzeugers Charlie Watts spielte. Und in seiner Heimat England hat Gerard Presencer bereits viermal den British Jazz Award in der Kategorie ““abgeräumt, zuletzt im Jahr 2002. Er hat schon zusammen mit Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea und Joe Locke, der auch auf seinem aktuellen Album zu hören ist, Aufnahmen gemacht. Darüber hinaus ist Gerard Presencer ein äusserst ambitionierter Komponist. Davon zeugt nicht nur die vorliegende CD ““deren sechs Teile alle aus seiner Feder stammen, sondern auch die Arbeit an einem Filmsoundtrack, die er kürzlich zusammen mit Johnny Greenwood von Radiohead beendet hat. So unterschiedliche Künstler wie Ray Charles, Jamiroquai, Robbie Williams, Joni Mitchell und James Brown haben bereits auf seine Dienste zurückgegriffen und auch als Solokünstler ist Gerard Presencer kein unbeschriebenes Blatt. ““ist bereits sein drittes Album, vorher hat er schon zwei CDs auf dem britischen Label Linn Records veröffentlicht. Dass ein so facettenreiches Multitalent wie Gerard Presencer früher oder später auch akademische Weihen erhält, sollte einen da schon nicht mehr wundern.

    Slough Philharmonic Orchestra Musical Director: David Wilson Saxophone soloist: Simon Allen Orchestra Leader: Marilyn Vanryne 7.30 pm Saturday 11th November 2017 St Bernard’s Catholic Grammar School, Langley Road, Slough Wagner Prelude to Act 1 of Die Meistersinger (1868) 1813 –1888 Richard Wagner's predilection for the musical portrayal of high ideals (Parsifal), folk myth (The Ring Tetralogy) and historical epic (Lohengrin and Tristan) should not be allowed to obscure his more down to earth operas, The Flying Dutchman (allowing for a touch of the supernatural) and most especially The Mastersingers of Nurenburg. It is paradoxical that a man such as Wagner, one of the more odious personalities to inhabit the field of composition – anti-Semite, crawler to royalty, wife stealer, inveterate borrower of money and one of the 19th century's most posing of hypochondriacs – should have been able to produce such a wonderfully warm and affectionate work as Die Meistersinger with its many- faceted plot of medieval guild rivalry, young lovers and "the big contest". The idea for the work grew out of an episode early in the composer's life when he and his brother made a habit of "winding up" a theatre stage hand of their acquaintance who dreamed of becoming an opera singer. By 1861 Wagner had the plot sketched out in his mind, borrowing from various literary sources, but it was not until he had begun to exploit the pathologically naive boy-King of Bavaria, Ludwig II, that most of his money troubles were solved and he could devote some time to this composition which had grown out of all proportion to his original intentions.

    MUNI 2021-1 GREEN, JOHNNY V případě Johnnyho Greena (1908 – 1989) si přiblížíme jeden jediný jeho hit, zato zdaleka zastiňující „celý zbytek Zeměkoule“. Ačkoliv byl skladatel velmi agilní v řadě hudebních činností a podle žebříčku jazzstandards.com obsazuje svými nejhranějšími písněmi velmi záviděníhodná místa v Top 100, a to 1, 50 a 68, jednička je jen jedna a ta přísluší baladě Body and Soul. Stačí si porovnat toto její prvenství se statistikami dalších dvou našich pravidelných zdrojů: Jazz Standards.com – 001. Tom Lord JAZZ Discography – 2.169x SecondHandSongs.com – 1.152x Diametrální rozdíl Lorda a SecondHand je způsoben odlišnou metodou počítání. Jestliže tedy SecondHandSongs uvádějí jen oficiálně vydaná alba umělců a kapel, takzvaná řadová, Tom Lord zahrnuje ve svých soupisech každou nahrávku, o níž se dozví, včetně těch, které k vydání vůbec nebyly určeny – to jsou pirátské úlovky z koncertů a klubů a především zachycené rozhlasové relace, tzv. radio checks, které zejména ty slavné orchestry mívaly denně po dobu řady let, především v éře swingu a stále populárnějšího rozhlasového vysílání. Takže když takový Glenn Miller vysílal ve své vrcholné éře 1937- 42 denně a jeho rozhlasový program se příliš neměnil, snadno tak pomohl číslům u Toma Lorda. A zrovna tak orchestry Tommyho Dorseye, Bennyho Goodmana, Counta Basieho… Zvolili jsme si tedy, já dobrovolně, vy závisle na mé vůli, jediný superhit, zajímavý i svým původem, dá se říci mezikontinentálním. Před napsáním oné písně působil Johnny Green především jako aranžér a dirigent u slavných orchestrů. Psal hudbu v Hollywoodu a pro televizní show. Body and Soul vznikla pro britskou zpěvačku Gertrude Lawrence (1898-1952) spolu s řadou dalších písní.
