Chuckles, an amalgamation of all those who made this project possible. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My dissertation was made possible by fellowship support conferred by the University of Michigan Rackham Graduate School and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities, as well as ample teaching opportunities provided by the Musicology Department and the Residential College. I am also grateful to my department, Rackham, the Institute, and the UM Sweetland Writing Center for supporting my work through various travel, research, and writing grants. This additional support financed much of the archival research for this project, provided for several national and international conference presentations, and allowed me to participate in the 2015 Rackham/Sweetland Writing Center Summer Dissertation Writing Institute. I also remain indebted to all those who helped me reach this point, including my supervisors at the Hatcher Graduate Library, the Music Library, the Children’s Center, and the Music of the United States of America Critical Edition Series. I thank them for their patience, assistance, and support at a critical moment in my graduate career. This project could not have been completed without the assistance of Bruce Boyd Raeburn and his staff at Tulane University’s William Ransom Hogan Jazz Archive of New Orleans Jazz, and the staff of the Historic New Orleans Collection.

Mayfield is a versatile trumpeter, bandleader, cem- poser and arranger, recording artist, a passionate spokesman for the rich history and cultural significance of Jazz and the city that birthed it. Appointed the Cultural Ambassado r of the City of New Orleans in 2003 by the United States Senate, Congress and other governmental agencies, his name has become synonymous with the still-unfolding legacy of America's only indigenous music. Even after Katrina-especially after Katrina, which took the life of his father, Irvin Mayfield, Sr.-this tireless Renaissance man considers Jazz nothing less than the manifestation of all that American democracy represents .

Spontaneous arrangements would evolve to spice up the standards. As these standards would evolve into originals, a concept for an album was born: original compositions based on the harmonic structure, or chord changes, from other songs. In previous years, harmonic structures from the standard American songbook would be used to create new melodies. For example, Duke Ellington’s “In a Mellow Tone” is based on the harmony from “Rose Room,” while Charlie Parker’s “Ornithology” is based on the harmony from “How High the Moon.” For this album, harmonies from not only the American songbook are utilized, but jazz standards, traditional jazz, and even 1980’s pop music contains chord changes to inspire these new pieces. We hope that this will be a fresh and familiar experience for the listener.

  • Dr. Michael White Is One of Todays Primary Exponents of Classic New Orleans Jazz
    TKA BIOGRAPHY Current as of 9/2011 Dr. Michael White A NIGHT IN TREME Dr. Michael White is one of todays primary exponents of classic New Orleans jazz. The unique experiences that the clarinetist has had throughout his career and his ability to articulate the significance and timelessness of the music has made him a highly influential force and performer. Having suffered tremendous losses due to Hurricane Katrina, White has emerged with what promises to be his finest CD, Blue Crescent. This set of new New Orleans music features him, like the Crescent City, determined to rebuild, keeping the classic style not only alive but continually creative, and looking towards both the past with loving memory and the future. Last December, Dr. Michael White had his first break since Katrina. Exhausted from having to deal with personal and professional difficulties, he took time off to stay at the local artist retreat facility, A Studio In The Woods. Thinking about his next recording, he felt suddenly rejuvenated and inspired, writing over three dozen songs within a short period of time. The 36 plus songs represent more than I had written in my whole life, says the clarinetist. In the music what Ive tried to do is think about the importance of New Orleans, the history of the Crescent City, the after-effects of Hurricane Katrina, and the future. What I did not want to do was have a maudlin post- Katrina recording with an excess of sadness. Most of the songs are intended to represent the joyous part of New Orleans, the determination to carry on and the musics heritage.

  • 1987 DOWN BEAT 17 Melodic, Blues-Based Invention of Ornette Coleman, Or the Doing, They Weren't Interested in His Enthusiasm
    By Stanley Crouch Editor's note: We last interviewed Wynton Marsalis in 1984. Since tha.t time his popularity and notoriety have, if anything, grown and, as can be seen in the following interview, he views his position with the utmost responsibility and seriousness. It is interesting to note that despite-or perhaps because of-his popularity, the trumpeter has become the focal point in a critical controversy waged over questions of innovation vs. imitation. In addressing these questions, and those concerning his success, the importance of knowledge and technical preparation for a career in music, and the role of jazz education, he brings the same carefully considered articulation which identifies his musical creativity. • • • STANLEY CROUCH: Do you hove anything to soy before we humility to one day add to the already noble tradition that first begin, on opening statement? took wing in the Crescent City. It still befuddles me that all the drums Jeff Watts is playing has been overlooked. He's isolating WYNTON MARSALIS: Yes. I want to make clear some things I aspects of time in fluctuating but cohesive parts, each of which think have been misunderstood. Were I playing the level of horn I swings, and his skill at thematic development through his aspire to, I don't think I would be giving interviews; I would be instrument within the form is nasty.
