In his fifty-year career, he played over 20,000 performances in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East as well as Asia. Simply put, Ellington transcends boundaries and fills the world with a treasure trove of music that renews itself through every generation of fans and music-lovers.

His paintings possess an uncommon energy and physicality, informed by the techniques he mastered working in construction trades of cabinet making and home building. His cultivation of precise and idiosyncratic studio procedures has resulted in the understanding that Whitten makes paintings rather than paints them. Within each decade of his career, he has produced works whose inspiration and finished look have been motivated by a memorializing impulse: to pay tribute or bear witness to the family members, cultural and historical figures (artists, musicians, politicians, writers), and tragic events that have shaped his life. This exhibition of paintings is the first survey of the artist’s canvases in the South, and includes works from 1968 to the present. Born in Bessemer, Alabama, in 1939, Whitten was deeply influenced by the injustices of segregation; sermons at the Southern Church of God; the joys of fishing and hunting; and the resourcefulness of his parents. As a young artist in New York in the 1960s, he established a dialogue with key African-American artists (Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis) and many of the first generation of Abstract Expressionist painters (Willem De Kooning, Franz Kline, Philip Guston).

  • FLETCHER-THESIS-2018.Pdf (511.9Kb)
    SONGS OF SALVATION: SHAKESPEARE’S DEFENSE OF PERFORMING ARTISTS THROUGH SECULAR BALLADS IN THREE PLAYS by LATISHA FLETCHER REHN Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2018 Copyright © by LaTisha Fletcher Rehn 2018 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to extend my gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Amy Tigner. In 2007, I happened to be enrolled in her undergraduate British Literature survey course, and that semester of English study changed the trajectory of my life. I credit her with teaching me how to write, especially in terms of organization and syntax, and with helping me to discover my own academic writing voice. Her love of the English Renaissance inspired me to give Shakespeare studies a second look after terrible experiences with the material in high school, and subsequently the history and literature of the period have enriched my life and made me a better reader. Beyond lessons in the lectures, though, Dr. Tigner restored my confidence in my own abilities. After barely graduating from high school and then “dropping out” of the music program at Texas State University, I credit her solely with helping me to realize my own potential in academics; her recommendation is literally the only reason I applied to the graduate program at UTA, and I am so glad that I listened to her advice. I sincerely thank her for her patience, mentorship, and encouragement in my life, as well as her thoughtful comments and guidance on my work.

    00:00:00 Music Transition “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs. Chill, grooving instrumentals. 00:00:05 Oliver Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. 00:00:07 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Like the rest of you, we are all in our social distancing mode, and this of course is an unprecedented time of isolation and anxiety. And I know many of us, myself included, are turning to art and culture as a way to stay sane and connected and inspired. As such, we wanted to create a few episodes around the idea of comfort music, and we’ve already been engaging with all of you in our audience about it. 00:00:31 Oliver Host To tackle this, we will be using a format that Morgan helped to inspire, the Starting Five, which is both a reference to basketball as well as a nod to those five-CD changers that used to be all the range back in the 1990s. And so both Morgan and I chose five albums, and the last episode you heard her starting five. And today, it’s gonna be my five in terms fo what constitutes my idea of comfort music. 00:00:56 Morgan Host In the third installment, that airs next week, we’ll be choosing a starting five from suggestions that you, our audience, has made via our various social media accounts. So, you asked me and now I’m asking you, what is your definition of comfort music, or what does comfort music really mean to you, especially now? 00:01:15 Oliver Host I really enjoyed hearing what you had to say last week in terms of the albums or the music that reminded you of falling in love wit music, or just falling in love in general.

Listening, then, figures prominently in the imaginations of jazz musicians and aficionados. While jazz scholarship has acknowledged the discourse on listening within various jazz cultures, to date the actual listening practices of jazz musicians and listeners remain under-theorized. This dissertation investigates listening and aural experience in a New York City community devoted to avant-garde jazz. I situate this community within the local history of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, discuss the effects of changing neighborhood politics on music performance venues, and analyze social interactions in this scene, to give an exposition of “listening to music” as a practice deeply tied into other aspects of my interlocutors’ lives.
