  • 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.

  • Download the FLUTE of ROLAND KIRK
    1 The FLUTE of ROLAND THEODORE KIRK “RAHSAAN” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: April 8, 2021 2 Born: Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 7, 1935 Died: Bloomington, Indiana, Dec. 5, 1977 Introduction: Roland Kirk visited Norway two times, 1967 and 1970. The first was at Kongsberg International Jazzfestival where I had the opportunity to meet him. He was a very nice man, and when I asked what he thought about vintage jazz, he told that he had played with Fletcher Henderson! It is physically possible, but Kirk must have been a very young teenager then. When I told him about Per Borthen & His Swing Department practicing in a nearby hotel, he grabbed his tenorsax and said let’s go! There he played a couple of numbers straight out of the history book. Those who were there will never forget it!! History: He was blind from the age of two. He played bugle and trumpet before taking up clarinet and C-melody saxophone, and by the time he was 15 was working professionally as a tenor saxophonist in rhythm-and-blues bands. After working in Louisville, Kirk moved in 1960 to Chicago. He toured Germany in April 1961 and later that year spent three months with Charles Mingus. For the next 15 years he led his own groups, drawing on various combinations of lesser-known sidemen; the Vibration Society, as his band was called, toured widely and played in all styles of jazz. Although Kirk was often, and wrongfully, accused of perpetrating nunmusical gimmickry, listeners in the 1960s gradually came to recognize his talents as an improviser, and in the 1970s he even a chieved modest commercial success.
