Fortunately new generations of creative artists have always come forward, finding Buzz Lamb inspiration in the legacy of the great jazz legends and updating the Vice President music to speak to their own special time, place, and circumstances. This balance of continuity and reinvention keeps the music alive and relevant and sustains our faith that jazz will keep swinging Sheila Bechert long into the future. At Gold Coast Jazz Society, we see that future Vice President in the young people who benefit from our educational programs— elementary school kids improving their academic skills through the Roberta Young innovative JazzSLAM program, older kids learning to jam with the Secretary/Treasurer pros at our First Friday Jazz Jams, and the very talented student musicians supported by our Jeanette Russell scholarships. So we know the future of jazz is bright. Directors Still, this past summer was a sad one, as we lost so many true musical giants. Pianist Ed DeChant and composer Horace Silver, the great bassist Charlie Haden, Little Jimmy Scott and his Stu Grant sweet contralto have all gone silent. Lionel Ferbos, who was blowing his trumpet loud and clear in the French Quarter at 103, has finally left to join Gabriel’s band. And Kenny Drew, Jason Hainsworth Jr., who gave a majestic solo piano concert for us in the Amaturo Theater a few years back, Jack Loving has also left us far too soon. Andrea McGee Closer to home a quieter giant of jazz, our dear friend, and founder of Gold Coast Jazz, James Maus Fred Ruffner died on August 12th. Fred was a renaissance man and a paragon of what we Buzz Merritt now call “the greatest generation.” A World War II veteran, he was a man of letters, an Miguel Ramirez entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and—among many other interests and talents—a hard-core Matthew Rocco jazz aficionado. Michelle Tuggle I cherish the years I spent with Fred on the GCJS board. He set the highest standards of integrity and artistry. No matter what else we undertook he insisted that a series of top- notch concerts could never be compromised. And he led by example, leaving behind an Founding President inspiring legacy in his second hometown of Fort Lauderdale, as a founder of the Broward Frederick J. Ruffner, Jr. Public Library foundation, a generous champion of the Bonnet House and so many other local treasures, and the visionary who built a sorely needed home for jazz here some 23 GCJS Staff years ago.

  • A Multi-Level Perspective Analysis of the Change in Music Consumption 1989-2014
    A multi-level perspective analysis of the change in music consumption 1989-2014 by Richard Samuels Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography and Planning Cardiff University 2018 i Abstract This thesis seeks to examine the historical socio-technical transitions in the music industry through the 1990s and 2000s which fundamentally altered the way in which music is consumed along with the environmental resource impact of such transitions. Specifically, the investigation seeks to establish a historical narrative of events that are significant to the story of this transition through the use of the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions as a framework. This thesis adopts a multi-level perspective for socio-technical transitions approach to analyse this historical narrative seeking to identify key events and actors that influenced the transition as well as enhance the methodological implementation of the multi-level perspective. Additionally, this thesis utilised the Material Intensity Per Service unit methodology to derive several illustrative scenarios of music consumption and their associated resource usage to establish whether the socio-technical transitions experienced by the music industry can be said to be dematerialising socio-technical transitions. This thesis provides a number of original empirical and theoretical contributions to knowledge. This is achieved by presenting a multi-level perspective analysis of a historical narrative established using over 1000 primary sources. The research identifies, examines and discusses key events, actors and transition pathways denote the complex nature of dematerialising socio-technical systems as well as highlights specifically the influence different actors and actor groups can have on the pathways that transitions take.

  • Our Instruments and Voices Became Our Weapons of Choice and the Songs Our Ammunition
    WAR The year was 1969, and these 'kids' had the nerve to carry the name WAR at a time when peace was the slogan in an anti-Vietnam America. "Our mission was to spread a message of brotherhood and harmony". Original Band Members included; Lonnie Jordan - singer/keyboardist, Howard Scott - guitars/ vocal, Lee Oskar - harmonica, B.B. Dickerson - bass vocals, Harold Brown - drums/ vocals, the late Thomas "Papa Dee" Allen - congas/timbales and Charles Miller - saxophonist/flutist. "Our instruments and voices became our weapons of choice and the songs our ammunition. We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It's just as apropos today" WAR, the original street band, was brought together by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein ("My Boyfriend's Back", "Hang On Sloopy", "I Want Candy") and rock legend Eric Burdon (ex-lead singer of the top British band The Animals). "I first saw some of the guys who would eventually become WAR playing at a topless beer bar in the San Fernando Valley, backing Deacon Jones, the pro football player, and knew immediately how potent these kids were," states Goldstein. "I was friends with Eric and he was ready to throw in the towel on the music scene and return to Newcastle. He was tired of the 'rock' thing and desperate for a fresh authentic sound. I called him the morning after I first saw the band and made him return to the club the next night with me. Eric was so blown away by what he had heard that he jumped on stage to jam with them.

  • 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.

  • Networks, Creativity and the Finest in Jazz 1939-1979
    Networks, Creativity and the Finest in Jazz 1939-1979 David Grandadam* BETA, Université de Strasbourg, France Abstract Creativity is commonly viewed as a collective process involving the coordination of a variety of individuals who interact in a dense network and influence one another through time. In this paper, the evolution of the network of collaboration among artists in the particular case of the Blue Note jazz label is studied. By analyzing the extent to which the collaboration structure relies on a star production model and the extent to which it relies on integrated and cohesive groups, the question raised is how the label has matched its artistic efforts with its commercial preoccupations. The results show that, over time, the Blue Note label has been able to ideally combine creative talents as well as established stars, by relying on an important “family” of musicians. These artists have all played a major role in connecting the Blue Note network, and have all widely contributed to shape the evolution of jazz. * Direct correspondence to David Grandadam, BETA, Université de Strasbourg, 61 Avenue de la Forêt Noire, F-67085 Strasbourg Cedex. Email: [email protected] An earlier draft of this paper has been presented in London and in Paris to members of the DIME network.

  • Blue Note Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963
    Discography Of The Blue Note Label Blue Note was started in New York City in 1938 by Alfred W. Lion. Blue Note recorded jazz only. The following history of the Blue Note record label is from the Blue Note Website (bluenote.com). “In 1925, 16-year old Alfred Lion noticed a concert poster for Sam Wooding's orchestra near his favorite ice-skating arena in his native Berlin, Germany. He'd heard many of his mother's jazz records and began to take an interest in the music, but that night his life was changed. The impact of what he heard live touched a deep passion within him. His thirst for the music temporarily brought him to New York in 1928 where he worked on the docks and slept in Central Park to get closer to the music. On December 23, 1938, Lion attended the celebrated Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall. The power, soul and beauty with which boogie woogie piano masters Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis rocked the stage gripped him. Exactly two weeks later, on January 6 at 2 in the afternoon, he brought them into a New York studio to make some recordings. They took turns at the one piano, recording four solos each before relinquishing the bench to the other man. The long session ended with two stunning duets. Blue Note Records was finally a reality. The label's first brochure in May of 1939 carried a statement of purpose that Lion rarely strayed from throughout the many styles and years during which he built one of the greatest jazz record companies in the world.

  • Jazz Ballad 18
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF MUSIC EXPLORATION IN JAZZ COMPOSITION TIMOTHY ELLIOTT VITULLO Spring 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Civil Engineering with honors in Music Reviewed and approved* by the following: Stephen Hopkins, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Thesis Supervisor Mark Ballora, Ph.D. Associate Professor Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. Abstract A vast majority of listeners define “jazz music” as the straight-ahead, hard bop sound characterized by the Miles Davis Quintets of the 1950s and 1960s. Since the release of pivotal records during this time period, the façade of jazz has generally remained unchanged despite the invention of many different styles. Similarly, the styles of hard bop guitarists Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell still significantly inform the voices of modern jazz guitarists. How does the evolution of rock and roll music (a guitar-driven genre) since the hard bop era inform modern jazz compositions? How does the thought process of a guitarist translate to arranging parts for brass, woodwinds, and the jazz rhythm section? This creative project aims to explore the aesthetics of jazz composition in the present day through the languages of hard bop, modal, fusion, and Latin jazz. Over the last year, I have researched and studied jazz styles, incorporating them into my own creative works. I have composed five jazz compositions with lead sheets, assembled a jazz combo, recorded these pieces on an EP, This is the Thing!, and performed these pieces live with the group.
