  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter 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 Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.

  • Brecker and Patterns
    Brecker and Patterns An Analysis of Michael Brecker's Melodic and Instrumental Devices Thesis for the degree of Master of Music Sibelius Academy (Helsinki, Finland) Department of Composition and Music Theory Autumn 1998 - Spring 1999 Ari Poutiainen © Ari Poutiainen 1999 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Brecker and Patterns - An Analysis of Michael Brecker's Melodic and Instrumental Devices ABSTRACT Only a few scientific studies or articles exist on Michael Brecker's improvisational style. The present work approaches Michael Brecker's style through a detailed analysis of his solos in the compositions "Straphangin'," "Nothing Personal," and "Peep." The approach to this analysis is similar to that of which jazz musicians use themselves. The analysis is based on selected audio material and transcriptions. David Baker's "Giants of Jazz" series was applied as a model for the form of the study. The applied theoretical framework of contemporary jazz improvisation is based on David Liebman's "A Chromatic Approach to Jazz Harmony and Melody," and various other works. In this study, the aim was to define and describe certain melodic and instrumental devices which are characteristic of Brecker's expression. In the analysis, attention was given to the melodic devices which are based on the diminished, altered, pentatonic, and augmented scales, and on the superimposed "Giant Steps" chord progressions. For the instrumental devices, the focus of the analysis was on alternate fingerings, multiphonics, and fingering mannerisms. The use of these devices was divided into functional and non-functional. Some of the devices and their usage could not be discussed deeply enough in the three solo analyses alone, and further examples were therefore traced from Brecker's other performances.

    MILES DAVIS: THE ROAD TO MODAL JAZZ Leonardo Camacho Bernal Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: John Murphy, Major Professor Cristina Sánchez-Conejero, Minor Professor Mark McKnight, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Camacho Bernal, Leonardo, Miles Davis: The Road to Modal Jazz. Master of Arts (Music), May 2007, 86 pp., 19 musical examples, references, 124 titles. The fact that Davis changed his mind radically several times throughout his life appeals to the curiosity. This thesis considers what could be one of the most important and definitive changes: the change from hard bop to modal jazz. This shift, although gradual, is best represented by and culminates in Kind of Blue, the first Davis album based on modal style, marking a clear break from hard bop. This thesis explores the motivations and reasons behind the change, and attempt to explain why it came about. The purpose of the study is to discover the reasons for the change itself as well as the reasons for the direction of the change: Why change and why modal music?

  • The Ecology of Northern White-Cedar
    The Ecology Of Northern White-Cedar Kurt S. Pregitzer Department of Forestry Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan 46824 Northern white-cedar (Thuja occidentalis Linnaeus) is a small to medium sized tree typical of northern conifer-hardwood swamps. Individual trees rarely exceed 25 m in height and 80 cm in diameter. Heights of 10 to 15 m and diameters of 30 to 60cm are more typical of mature second-growth forests. Northern white-cedar (cedar) is considered shade-tolerant and individuals have the potential to live more than 500 years. Cedar often dominates the lower portion of the canopy of a swamp forest with other hardwood and conifer species dominating the upper canopy. Trunks are highly tapered and sometimes divided into two or more secondary stems. Because of the poor aeration of swamp soil, root systems are shallow and spreading, and large structural roots protrude above the ground. Windthrow is common in cedar swamps. Windthrow in combination with the ability to reproduce vegetatively results in trees of unusual form; highly curved and peculiar trunk shapes are common. The cedar swamp association has been considered to be the final stage of plant succession on alkaline organic soil (Gates 1942). But cedar swamps are not regenerating naturally like late-successional upland forests. Why are these supposedly tolerant trees not reproducing? The objective of this paper is to review the ecological and life-history attributes of northern white-cedar. In doing so, I hope that others will be able to tackle the practical question of cedar regeneration with a better appreciation of the ecology of this important and interesting species.

  • O. O. Mcintyre Broadway Populist 79
    o. o. mcintyre broadway populist e. I. huddleston Editors and publishers given to exploiting the nostalgia craze might consider resurrecting Odd (pronounced "Ud") Mcintyre, for his appeal would be broad. Many Americans under fifty would laugh at how his kitsch could enjoy the widespread acceptance it did; those over fifty would relish meeting an old acquaintance on a sentimental journey to yesteryear; and students of mass culture, regardless of age, would find clues in his enormous popularity to help explain a persistent naivete in those citizens Mencken characterized as the "booboisie" and who today go as middle America or the "new majority." In the two decades between World Wars Oscar Odd Mcintyre sus­ tained a formula with his 800-word column "New York Day by Day" that made him the highest paid and the "most widely enjoyed newspaper feature writer of his time," reaching (as a conservative estimate) over seven million readers daily and Sunday.1 Additionally, his monthly piece for Cosmopolitan ran from 1922 to his death in 1938, and his "best" columns and essays were gathered into four books in the 1920's and '30's. Warner Brothers even planned a movie based on his life, which his sudden death aborted.2 Amid the turbulence of the Jazz Age human interest reporting seemed to most editors the surest bet for building circulation amid tough competition, and columnists became national institutions. Among the leaders—Arthur Brisbane ("Today"), Franklin P. Adams ("The Conning Tower"), Christopher Morley ("Bowling Green"), Heywood Broun ("It Seems To Me")—Mcintyre occupied a prominent if not wholly deserved place.

I’m sitting with Jackie McLean at the Artists Collective in Hartford, Connecticut, on Friday, July the 20th, 2001. We’re conducting an oral history interview for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Project. The first thing I’d like to do is thank Mr. McLean for agreeing to participate in this oral history. McLean: Oh, it’s my pleasure. It’s very important. Brower: I want to start with what we were talking about before we actually started the formal interview and ask you to tell us about your recent trip to Europe, where you played, with whom you were playing, and then talk about how you’re handling your performance – the performance dimension of your life – right now. McLean: This most recent trip that I made – I made two trips to play with Mal Waldron. The first one was in Verona, Italy, a couple of weeks ago. That was a duo where Mal and I played for about 70 minutes solo, between he and I, duo. Then I went just last week over to the North Sea Festival in the Hague to play with Mal again, this time with his trio, with Andrew Cyrille, Reggie Workman, Mal, and I was special guest.
