Condell Collection 1 University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH James Franklin Condell, the second son of Dr. Charles Homer Condell and Mrs. Mary Jane Fielding Condell, was born October 10, 1921, in Louisville, Kentucky, where he grew up. At an early age, he developed a keen interest in music, especially music played by the big bands of the era. As a young child, he listened for hours to the radio broadcasts featuring bands that played in the famous hotels around the country. At age 14 he played his first job with a local band in Louisville. He played piano and was in great demand because he knew dozens of tunes, and he was reliable, always arriving early to set up to play for the evening. Upon graduation from high school, he was awarded a music scholarship to study at Kentucky State College in Frankfort, Kentucky. Because there was another piano player on scholarship in the band, James took up guitar and played for four years with the "Kentucky State Collegians," the official college band. Upon graduation in 1942, he enrolled in a Signal Corps Course and, upon completion of the course, was drafted into the United States Army Air Corp and served from 1943-1946. As a sociology major in college, James debated whether he wanted to pursue an academic course or to pursue a career in music. After his discharge from the Army in 1946, he spent a year in Nashville, Tennessee, playing in a house band of a nightclub. After a year as a professional musician, James decided to prepare for an academic career, with music as his avocation. He earned a Master's Degree from Columbia University in 1948 and began an academic career at Maryland State College, serving as Dean of Men and Director of the Men's Glee Club. He returned to New York in 1949 to pursue doctoral studies. While studying at New York University, he was offered a position at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee. He was a member of the faculty for six years. After earning a doctorate at the University of Nebraska, he served as a clinical psychologist for seven years at mental health institutions in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. He missed the classroom and the company of young, inquiring minds, so he decided to return to the academic world by accepting a position as Professor of Psychology at Minnesota State University in Moorhead. He served for 27 years, ten years as Chair of the Psychology Department. Always deeply involved in music, he studied classical guitar for two years at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid, Spain. While living in Madrid, he connected with jazz musicians and played with some of the leading jazz musicians, both Spanish and American musicians living in Spain, as well as visiting American musicians playing in local clubs. Upon his retirement from Minnesota State University in 1992, he devoted all of his time to music, writing and arranging charts for local musicians, as well as playing in local groups. For 13 years, he produced and hosted "Condell's Corner," a weekly jazz program on KDSU, North Dakota State University's Public Radio Station in Fargo, His audience was wide, reaching the entire Red River Valley in Minnesota and North Dakota, and parts of South Dakota, Montana, and Canada. He played his last engagement two weeks before his death on September 4, 1998. MS48-James F. Condell Collection 2 University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr. Kenneth J.

The collection focuses on Condell’s longtime interest and scholarly pursuits in the field of jazz from 1980-1998, although some items date back to his time in Spain in the early 1970s. Included in the collection is information on his radio programs, A Little Jazz Music and Condell’s Corner, which aired on KCCM 91.1FM in Moorhead, Minnesota, and KDSU 91.9FM in Fargo, North Dakota, respectively. Also included is research material about Kansas City Jazz pianist Jay McShann and the writing of his autobiography, on which Condell worked closely with McShann. Other material includes a collection of music scores, some of which possibly date from his musical studies in Spain; a small photograph collection; correspondence; writings and notes; various articles and clippings; and other miscellaneous ephemera and memorabilia. An addendum to the collection primarily focuses on his interest in jazz music and his writings on jazz. Condell was an avid researcher of jazz, and had a great amount of research dedicated to Duke Ellington and Jay McShann. There is also a large collection of guitar sheet music, music theory texts, and jazz arrangements. Sound recordings from this collection are housed separately in the Marr Sound Archives.

  • Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar
    Rethinking Tradition: Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar NAME: Francisco Javier Bethencourt Llobet FULL TITLE AND SUBJECT Doctor of Philosophy. Doctorate in Music. OF DEGREE PROGRAMME: School of Arts and Cultures. SCHOOL: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Newcastle University. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nanette De Jong / Dr. Ian Biddle WORD COUNT: 82.794 FIRST SUBMISSION (VIVA): March 2011 FINAL SUBMISSION (TWO HARD COPIES): November 2011 Abstract: This thesis consists of four chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. It asks the question as to how contemporary guitarists have negotiated the relationship between tradition and modernity. In particular, the thesis uses primary fieldwork materials to question some of the assumptions made in more ‘literary’ approaches to flamenco of so-called flamencología . In particular, the thesis critiques attitudes to so-called flamenco authenticity in that tradition by bringing the voices of contemporary guitarists to bear on questions of belonging, home, and displacement. The conclusion, drawing on the author’s own experiences of playing and teaching flamenco in the North East of England, examines some of the ways in which flamenco can generate new and lasting communities of affiliation to the flamenco tradition and aesthetic. Declaration: I hereby certify that the attached research paper is wholly my own work, and that all quotations from primary and secondary sources have been acknowledged. Signed: Francisco Javier Bethencourt LLobet Date: 23 th November 2011 i Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank all of my supervisors, even those who advised me when my second supervisor became head of the ICMuS: thank you Nanette de Jong, Ian Biddle, and Vic Gammon.

LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Tenor saxophonist, bandleader, and financial planner, Ed Dix was born in Kansas City in 1930. He began playing clarinet at age five, but switched to tenor sax at fourteen. While in high school, he toured the U.S. in bands styled after Glenn Miller’s. He was, himself, influenced by the playing of Lester Young, the tenor saxophonist in Count Basie’s band. For the first years of his adult life, Dix continued to tour in bands. It was Mary Ann (Dix’s wife, married 1950) who got him an audition for the Ralph Flanagan Band, with which he toured throughout the country – even playing at the Palladium. Dix also led a band of his own: The Eddie Dix Orchestra (“Music That Clicks with Dix”).

  • Vihuela in Oxford Music Online Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 Vihuela in Oxford Music Online Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Vihuela article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/29360 Vihuela (Sp.). A plucked chordophone of the viol family on which the strings, made of gut, were generally arranged in six or seven courses, each probably paired in unison. Closely related to the lute, it flourished mainly in Spain and in areas under Spanish influence in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was also known in Italy and Portugal under the name viola . Originally the word was applied to various string instruments distinguished according to the method of playing them: medieval sources mention the vihuela de pendola (or peñola : played with a quill) and vihuela de arco (played with a bow); vihuela de pendola also appears in Renaissance sources, which also mention the vihuela de mano (plucked with the fingers). By the 16th century, however, the unqualified term ‘vihuela’ usually referred to the finger-plucked instrument. 1. Structure and history. The structure and early history of the vihuela are very closely linked with those of the guitar and viol. Woodfield (1984) has shown that the vihuela was probably developed in the 15th century as a plucked alternative to the viola de arco . Outside the Spanish sphere of influence, vihuelas were designated with guitar-related terms during the 16th century (see Corona-Alcalde, 1990). Only two vihuelas are known to have survived: one in the Musée Jacquemart-André of the Institut de France, Paris, and the other in the church of the Compañía de Jésus in Quito, Ecuador.
