Jazz Collection: Booker T. Jones – Architekt Des Memphis Soul Jazz Collection: Booker T. Jones – Architekt des Memphis Soul Dienstag, 12. November 2019, 21.00 – 22.00 Uhr Radio SRF 2 Kultur Samstag, 16. November 2019, 17.06 – 18.30 Uhr (mit Bonustracks) Er ist für Dutzende bedeutende Aufnahmen mitverantwortlich, selber aber verhältnismässig wenig bekannt: Booker T Jones hat das typische Schicksal des Begleitmusikers. Der Organist und Multiinstrumentalist ist aber viel mehr als «nur» erstklassiger Begleiter. Mit «Booker T. & The M.G.s», der berühmten Hausband des Soul-Labels «Stax», erfindet Booker T. Jones noch als Teenager den sogenannten «Memphis Soul» mit und leistet damit einen unschätzbaren Beitrag zur Musik, wie wir sie heute kennen. Wie er aus dem Hintergrund heraus als Backing-Musiker und Produzent einen ganzen Sound geprägt hat, darüber redet Annina Salis mit Philippe Kuhn, Organist und Musikproduzent aus Baden.

    STEVE CROPPER facebook.com/stevecropper twitter.com/officialcropper Image not found or type unknown youtube.com/channel/UCQk6gXkhbUNnhgXHaARGskg playitsteve.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cropper open.spotify.com/artist/1gLCO8HDtmhp1eWmGcPl8S If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T, and the MG’s built.” Integral to that potent combination is MG rhythm guitarist extraordinaire Steve Cropper. As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

  • Donald 'Duck' Dunn Was Black!"
    DONALD “DUCK” DUNN "I would have liked to have been on the road more but the record company wanted us in the studio. Man, we were recording almost a hit a day for a while there. But I never knew how popular that music was until I came to England with Otis Redding in 1967." He adds with a chuckle: "I think most of the English people thought I was a pick-up bass player. Without being racist they probably thought that being affiliated with that music, Donald 'Duck' Dunn was black!" Biografia Cresciuto a Memphis, fa presto conoscenza con il coetaneo Steve Cropper con cui condividerà fin dall'adolescenza la passione e la carriera musicale. Infatti mentre frequentavano la Messick High School erano già membri del gruppo The Mar-keys, con i quali hanno registrato nel 1961 il loro primo singolo "Last Night". Ha collaborato anche al disco blues "Fathers & Sons" di Muddy Wa- ters, con una super-band riunita per l'occasione (Donald "Duck" Dunn al basso, Muddy Waters chitarra e voce, Otis Spann al piano, Paul Butterfield all'armonica,Mike Bloomfield alla chi- tarra, Sam Lay alla batteria). È stato uno dei primi musicisti di ri- ferimento di Jaco Pastorius. È morto la notte del 13 maggio 2012 nel sonno, dopo aver appena terminato un doppio show in Giappone nel pieno del suo tour con l'eterno amico Steve Cropper EQUIPAGGIAMENTO Per quanto riguarda il basso Duck Dunn ha usato da sempre fender precision (con corde “La bella Jamerson set”),in particolare:Fender Precision del 1958 con tastiera in acero; ha avuto anche un RE 57 con il manico di un P del '71 e un P del '67 con il manico di un Jazz Bass; era endorser lakland con 2 modelli signature.

  • Masters Thesis
    Hammond Technique and Methods: Music Written for the Hammond Organ JESSE WHITELEY A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO SEPTEMBER 2013 © JESSE WHITELEY, 2013 Abstract The following thesis is made up of four original compositions written between February and September of 2012, with emphasis on the Hammond Organ in the context of jazz and rhythm and blues ensembles. The pieces of music were designed to feature the organ as the lead instrument in order to highlight various playing techniques that are specific to the Hammond Organ within these genres. In addition to my own music and an explanation and analysis of my work, the writing will provide a historical overview of organists I have chosen to highlight as influences to provide a framework for each piece of music. In order to aid this discussion of what has been an under-theorized instrument and performance tradition, I have sought out active contemporary organists to discuss their creative practices on the Hammond, as well as their insight into the notable organists of the past. Finally, of particular interest to me in this thesis is the emphasis on the Hammond Organ as an electric instrument, and the unique musical textures that are possible through the exploitation of the multiple controls that are integral to the instrument's construction. An audio recording of each piece accompanies the scores that are included. ii Acknowledgements A big thanks to my supervisor Rob Bowman for being the perfect person to work on this project with, for his good advice, resources, and above all - enthusiasm, which has charged me up in the writing of this, multiple times.

    Forord I det jeg gikk inn i prosessen med å velge tema hadde jeg en baktanke om å finne noe som ikke var så nøye utforsket fra før. Jeg hadde også et ønske om å finne et interessant og appellerende tema som kunne dekke mine interesser for både trommer, musikkutøvelse og svart musikk. Valget falt på en trommeslager som spilte på hitlåt etter hitlåt på 1960- og 1970-tallet, og som i nyere tid ikke har fått så mye oppmerksomhet. Denne oppgaven vil derfor handle om trommeslageren Al Jackson Jr., mest kjent fra sin tid i Stax Records, som en del av husbandet Booker T & the MGs. Takk til veileder, professor John Howland, for verdifulle innspill og tips, utømmelig faglig kunnskap, og en genuin interesse for temaet. Takk også til Stine og Frans for all tålmodighet og støtte i prosessen med å fullføre denne oppgaven.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Painstakingly created over the course of several difficult and extraordinarily hectic years, this dissertation is the result of a sustained commitment to better grasping the cultural impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and death. That said, my ongoing appreciation for contemporary American music, film, and television served as an ideal starting point for evaluating Dr. King’s legacy in mass culture. This work likewise is wrought from an intricate combination of support and insight derived from many individuals who, in some way, shape, or form, contributed encouragement, scholarly knowledge, or exceptional wisdom.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Blues, as a musical form, has had and continues to have a profound effect on the entire music industry, both in the United States and abroad. Blues constitute a rich cultural entity in its pure form; but its influence goes far beyond this-for itis the bedrock of jazz, the basis of much of folk and country music and it is closely akin to gospel. But finally and most importantly, blues and its derivatives- and the concept of soul-are major factors in today's pop music. In fact, it is no exaggeration to state flatly that blues, a truly American idiom, is the most pervasive element in American music COVER PHOTO today.
