Appreciating Jazz Improvisation The Origins Of Jazz Topic : Introduction Topic Objective: At the end of this topic student would be able to: Discuss the Birth of Jazz Discuss the concept of Louis Armstrong Discuss the Expansion of Jazz Understand the concepts of Bebop Discuss todays Jazz Definition/Overview: The topic discusses that the style of music known as jazz is largely based on improvisation. It has evolved while balancing traditional forces with the pursuit of new ideas and approaches. Today jazz continues to expand at an exciting rate while following a similar path. Here you will find resources that shed light on the basics of one of the greatest musical developments in modern history.WWW.BSSVE.IN Born in America, jazz can be seen as a reflection of the cultural diversity and individualism of this country. At its core are openness to all influences, and personal expression through improvisation. Throughout its history, jazz has straddled the worlds of popular music and art music, and it has expanded to a point where its styles are so varied that one may sound completely unrelated to another. First performed in bars, jazz can now be heard in clubs, concert halls, universities, and large festivals all over the world. www.bsscommunitycollege.in www.bssnewgeneration.in www.bsslifeskillscollege.in 2 www.onlineeducation.bharatsevaksamaj.net www.bssskillmission.in Key Points: 1.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN 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 Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.

    ART FOR AIDS UNAIDS/07.14E / JC1312E (English original, June 2007) ISBN 978 92 9173 570 9 © Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 2007. Contents Foreword 5 Overview 7 Art 9 UNAIDS headquarters 157 Partners 167 Foreword Dear friends: Art has always inspired me to think more deeply and question more carefully. In whatever form it takes—sculpture, painting, mixed media and more—art can express things in a way not possible with facts and fi gures, and this is especially true in the AIDS response. Art and AIDS have been inextricably linked throughout the epidemic’s quarter of a century history. Art has conveyed what words alone could not. I am especially pleased that we have been able to bring art and the AIDS response together in UNAIDS’ new headquarters. We are indebted to the artists and sponsors who have generously given their talent, time and resources to make Art for AIDS a reality. Twentieth century painter Mark Rothko said, “Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can only be explored by those willing to take the risks.” On behalf of the UNAIDS staff and our partners, I hope the art shared in these pages inspires and challenges you as much as it has me. Dr Peter Piot Executive Director, UNAIDS ART for AIDS | art carte Overview The United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) commemorated its 10th anniversary in 2006. In November 2006 UNAIDS moved into its new headquarters in Geneva, a building it shares with the World Health Organization. For UNAIDS, this new space is a convening centre for increased dialogue on AIDS issues and a centre for Art for AIDS.

  • Tanzania Ages (13-15)
    Tanzania Ages (13-15) The flag of Tanzania was adopted on June 30, 1964. It is the merger of the flags of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The name Tanzania is derived from the names of the two states Tanganyika and Zanzibar that became united in 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. This was later renamed the United Republic of Tanzania. The flag is divided diagonally by a yellow-edged black band from the lower hoist-side corner. The green represents the natural vegetation present in the country, yellow represents the rich mineral deposits of the country, black represents the people of Tanzania, and blue represents the numerous lakes and rivers and the Indian Ocean. + = Flag of Tanganyika Flag of Zanzibar Flag of Tanzania COAT OF ARMS The golden top of the warriors shield in the coat of arms represents the minerals that can be found in the Republic. The torch in this part represents UHURU, a Swahili word meaning freedom. The red part underneath the flag symbolizes the rich and fertile soil of Africa. The wavy blue bands underneath the red represent the land, sea, lakes and the coastal lines of the United Republic. The spear in the shield signifies defense of freedom and the axe and hoe represent the development of the country. The motto of the United Republic, Uhuru na Umoja is written at the base of the coat of arms which signifies Mount Kilimanjaro. It means freedom and unity. GEOGRAPHY The United Republic of Tanzania is a country in East Africa. It is bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west; and Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the south.

  • Diasporic P'ungmul in the United States
    Diasporic P’ungmul in the United States: A Journey between Korea and the United States DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Soo-Jin Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Professor Udo Will, Advisor Associate Professor Chan E. Park Assistant Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright by Soo-Jin Kim 2011 Abstract This study contributes to understanding diaspora and its music cultures by examining the Korean genre of p’ungmul as a particular site of continuous and dynamic cultural socio-political exchange between the homeland and the host society. As practiced in Los Angeles and New York City, this genre of percussion music and dance is shaped by Korean cultural politics, intellectual ideologies and institutions as p’ungmul practitioners in the United States seek performance aesthetics that fit into new performance contexts. This project first describes these contexts by tracing the history of Korean emigration to the United States and identifying the characteristics of immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York City. While the p’ungmul troupes developed by Korean political refugees, who arrived during the 1980s, show the influence of the minjung cultural movement in Korea, cultural politics of the Korean government also played an important role in stimulating Korean American performers to learn traditional Korean performing arts by sending troupes to the United States. The dissertation then analyzes the various methods by which p’ungmul is transmitted in the United States, including the different methods of teaching and learning p’ungmul—writing verbalizations of instrumental sounds on paper, score, CD/DVD, and audio/video files found on the internet—and the cognitive consequences of those methods.

  • After the Arusha Declaration, 1967-1984 Amandina Lihamba
    POLITICS AND THEATRE IN TANZANIA AFTER THE ARUSHA DECLARATION, 1967-1984 AMANDINA LIHAMBA A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS SCHOOL OF ENGLISH 1985 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the practice of theatre in Tanzania after the Arusha Declaration of 1967, The Arusha Declaration as Tanzania's blueprint for socialist transformation ushered in an era in which economic and political attempts were made to direct the country towards Ujamaa and away from capitalist structures and development. The social reality of the period has been dominated by the articulation between the attempts for the socialist transformation and the histor­ ical political factors supporting or undermining the transformation. This thesis discusses contemporary Tanzanian theatre within the frame­ work of the political events and social reality after 1967. There are six chapters in the thesis. Chapter 1 provides the historical back­ ground of contemporary Tanzanian theatre. It includes an examination of traditional theatre performances within and outside the colonial experience as well as the historical role of Kiswahili as a chosen language of theatre communication. Chapter 2 looks into the Arusha Declaration, its tenets, objectives, some aspects of its effects on social practices and the theoretical responses regarding the role of an art form such as theatre within Ujamaa. A discussion on the works of Tanzania's leading playwright, Ebrahim Hussein, is the concern of Chapter 3. Chapter 4 examines plays and performances by the other theatre practitioners of the period. Official policies and the practice of theatre in state institutions are described in Chapter 5 and the last Chapter covers the development of theatre for social development as well as the nature of theatre control and censorship in the period under investigation.
