Jazz Collection: Gil Scott-Heron - der wütende Mann aus der Bronx Dienstag, 01. April 2014, 21.00 - 23.00 Uhr Samstag, 05. April 2014, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Seine Texte haben dem «Civil Rights Movement» Worte verliehen, seine Musik war der Soundtrack dazu. Und doch war er ein einsamer Wolf: Gil Scott-Heron Am Anfang war das Wort bei Gil Scott-Heron: Selbst in ärmlichen Verhältnissen aufgewachsen, schrieb er seine Wut über die amerikanische Gesellschaft in Gedichten und zwei Romanen nieder – mit mässigem Erfolg. Als er aber realisierte, dass er seine Texte singen musste, um gehört zu werden, mit dem Musiker Brian Jackson zusammenspannte und mit dem Produzenten von John Coltrane, Bob Thiele – da schlugen seine Produktionen ein wie eine Bombe. Wie aus dem zornigen jungen Afro-Amerikaner der «Godfather of Hip-Hop» wurde, und warum er dennoch immer eine Klasse für sich blieb: das diskutiert Roman Hosek mit Jodok Hess.

Today, Gil Scott-Heron is widely considered the “grandfather of rap,” and “the Black Bob Dylan,” though he preferred to call himself a “bluesologist,” which he defined as “a scientist who is concerned with the origin of blues.” Over the course of his life, he published two novels, a collection of poetry, thirteen studio albums, nine live albums, and posthumously published a memoir and an additional album. “It is very important to me that my ideas are understood. It is not as important that I be understood. I believe that this is a matter of respect; your most significant asset is your time and your commitment to invest a portion of it considering my ideas means it is worth a sincere attempt on my part to transmit the essence of the idea. If you are looking, I want to make sure that there is something here for you to find.” A Brief Timeline of Gil’s Life April 1, 1948 - Born in Chicago, Illinois to Bobbie Scott-Heron and Giles “Gil” Heron December 1950 - Moves to Jackson,

The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21St Century Stand-Up
The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.

Flying Dutchman Label Discography
Flying Dutchman Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Flying Dutchman Label Discography Flying Dutchman was a jazz label created 1969 by the renowned producer/arranger Bob Thiele. It produced a fascinating mix of forward thinking music; the label combined the sounds of jazz, soul, experimentation, and black politics. Although the label put out some standard jazz albums, their most incredible records were those of unique musicians such as Leon Thomas, Lonnie Liston Smith, Gil Scott-Heron and Angela Davis. Initially the label was distributed by Atco Division of Atlantic, but later was switched to Bob Shad’s Mainstream label for two years. By 1974 the distribution was switched to RCA which distributed the label to 1984. The Flying Dutchman catalog was acquired by Legacy Recordings in 1993 from Bob Shad's daughter Tamara when she sold the assets of Mainstream Records, which had distributed Flying Dutchman until it closed in 1978. The Flying Dutchman label had several subsidiaries the specialized in different musical styles. The Amsterdam label concentrated on popular music including the recordings of Thiele’s wife Teresa Brewer. The Reggae label was established to release the reggae music from Jamaica. The Bluestime label was established to release blues recordings. Starting in 1974, Flying Dutchman albums were released in the RCA numbering system and were distributed by RCA. This numbering system was also used for albums on the Signature which was reactivated in 1974; Thiele also established the Bob Thiele Music label. For other albums on the Flying Dutchman, Signature, Bob Thiele Music label releases see the discography of the Bob Thiele labels.

Honors Thesis THE LEGACY OF JAZZ POETRY IN CONTEMPORARY RAP: LANGSTON HUGHES, GIL SCOTT-HERON, AND KENDRICK LAMAR by Madison Hailes Brasher Submitted to Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of graduation requirements for University Honors English Department Brigham Young University August 2020 Advisor: Greg Clark Honors Coordinator: John Talbot ii ABSTRACT THE LEGACY OF JAZZ POETRY IN CONTEMPORARY RAP: LANGSTON HUGHES, GIL SCOTT-HERON, AND KENDRICK LAMAR Madison Brasher English Department Bachelor of Arts Langston Hughes wrote in “Jazz as Communication that: “Jazz is a great big sea. It washes up all kinds of fish and shells and spume and waves with a steady old beat, or off-beat.” In this paper I assert that the rap music of Kendrick Lamar contains the steady off-beat of jazz and carries out the rhetorical legacy of Hughes’ jazz poetry. By marking the key elements of jazz poetry and tracing their presence in rap music, I will show how these elements create a powerful aesthetic experience for audiences that primes them for the rhetorical messages of the artist.

The Sounds of Liberation: Resistance, Cultural Retention, and Progressive Traditions for Social Justice in African American Music
THE SOUNDS OF LIBERATION: RESISTANCE, CULTURAL RETENTION, AND PROGRESSIVE TRADITIONS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Professional Studies by Luqman Muhammad Abdullah May 2009 © 2009 Luqman Muhammad Abdullah ABSTRACT The cultural production of music in the Black community has traditionally operated as much more than a source of entertainment. In fact, my thesis illustrates how progressive traditions for social justice in Black music have acted as a source of agency and a tool for resistance against oppression. This study also explains how the music of African Americans has served as a primary mechanism for disseminating their cultural legacy. I have selected four Black artists who exhibit the aforementioned principles in their musical production. Bernice Johnson Reagon, John Coltrane, Curtis Mayfield and Gil Scott-Heron comprise the talented cadre of musicians that exemplify the progressive Black musical tradition for social justice in their respective genres of gospel, jazz, soul and spoken word. The methods utilized for my study include a socio-historical account of the origins of Black music, an overview of the artists’ careers, and a lyrical analysis of selected songs created by each of the artists. This study will contribute to the body of literature surrounding the progressive roles, functions and utilities of African American music. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH My mother garners the nickname “gypsy” from her siblings due to the fact that she is always moving and relocating to new and different places.

SY21CatPages.qxp_Layout 1 7/30/21 3:20 PM Page 1 A Christmas K-4 Musical Perfectly Designed For Your Young Performers! ANTLERS A Fashionable Musical For Young Voices by Teresa Jennings & Karl Hitzemann Everyone knows that all magic reindeer just want to fly, right? Or do they? This imaginative little musical dares to consider that maybe, just maybe, a reindeer’s career outcome doesn’t have to be quite so predictable. In fact, it could be very different. Such is the case in our story, where a few recent graduates of the School of Reindeer have realized that their true passions call less for flying, and more for drawing, sewing, and crafting. In other words, they want to be fashion designers. And not just any fashion designers – ANTLER fashion designers! With a little help from their North Pole friends, notably some elves and other reindeer, they decide to showcase some of their fabulous couture on the runway. Unbeknownst to them, Santa and Mrs. Claus just happen to catch some of the show and are very impressed. So much so that they invite the designers to create new antler fashions for the “famous eight” – and just in time to wear for their big night out! Designed for ease of production and flexibility, this delightful musical offers opportunities for creativity, imagination, and artistic expression. With five simple and memorable songs (and some action music), young performers will delight in the chance to not only create their own stylish antler designs, but to showcase them as they walk, strut, sway, and sashay across your performance area this holiday season.

In our hearts we feel that spring is just around the corner: a spring of brotherhood and united spirits among people of color. Everyone is moving, searching. There is a restlessness within our souls that keeps us questioning, discovering and struggling against a system that will not allow us space and time for fresh expression. Western iceman have attempted to distort time. Extra months on the calendar and daylight saved what was Eastern Standard. We approach winter the most depressing period in the history of this industrial empire, with threats of oil shortages and energy crises. But we, as Black people, have been a source of endless energy, endless beauty and endless determination. I have many things to tell you about tomorrow’s love and light. We will see you in the spring.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”--Gil Scott- Heron (1970) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell
“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”--Gil Scott- Heron (1970) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label Gil Scott-Heron Poet/performer Gil Scott-Heron’s recording of his famous epic poem/song “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” was named to the National Sound Registry in 2005. With its wide-ranging references, both pop and political, encompassing both national affairs and consumer culture, and its not-so-subtle jabs at “white America,” “Revolution” has endured as both a timeless social critique and as a unique musical expression, one in which the founding modern strands and themes of rap and hip-hop can be heard. Literary-minded from a young age, the Chicago-born Scott -Heron (b. 1949) had published his first novel, “The Vulture,” by age 21. His first collection of poems, “Small Talk at 125th and Lenox” appeared in 1970. “Small Talk” contained the first incarnation of “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” “Small Talk at 125th and Lenox” would also be the title of Scott-Heron’s first album; it would contain his first recorded version of “Revolution.” The album was released in 1970, on Flying Dutchman records. For the recording of his work, Scott-Heron read his own powerful sentiments, stinging commentary and rhythmic but non-rhyming stanzas in a deep, resonating voice but with a Ginsberg-like detachment. During the reading, Scott-Heron was accompanied by pounding congas and bongo drums which lent the recording a feeling both beatnik and tribal. In his journey from poet to rock musician, Scott-Heron followed quickly on the heels of Leonard Cohen and just barely preceded punk priestess Patti Smith.
