Good afternoon, Mr. Benny Golson. How are you today? Golson: Good afternoon. Brown: We’d like to start – this is the oral history interview that we will attempt to capture your life and music. As an oral history, we’re going to begin from the very beginning. So if you could start by telling us your first – your full name (given at birth), your birthplace, and birthdate. Golson: My full name is Benny Golson, Jr. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The year is 1929. Brown: Did you want to give the exact date? Golson: January 25th.

  • MARCO PEREIRA: BRAZILIAN GUITAR VIRTUOSO by BRENT
    MARCO PEREIRA: BRAZILIAN GUITAR VIRTUOSO By BRENT LEE SWANSON A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2004 Copyright 2004 by Brent Lee Swanson To my parents, Craig and Charlene. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first and foremost like to thank God for the spiritual guidance needed to complete this work. I thank the School of Music and Dr. Larry Crook for introducing me to Brazilian music, helping me get an assistantship, mentoring me for over 8 years. More importantly, for having the patience to deal with the various personal idiosyncrasies that I am sure caused him grief over the years. I thank Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) and the Center for Latin American Studies for the opportunity to learn Portuguese in Rio de Janeiro (especially Amanda Wolfe). I thank Dr. Welson Tremura for introducing me to the Brazilian guitar, for mentoring me in all of my various studies, for yelling at me in rehearsals, for being a friend when I needed him, for letting me stay at his great house in São Jose do Rio Preto, and for all of the wonderful opportunities to play Brazilian music. I thank Dr. Charles Perrone for his love of Brazilian popular music (and well, for being Charles). I thank Jeffrey “Lightning” Ladenheim for introducing me to jazz, for calling me Sheehan, for yelling at me in rehearsals, and for being a friend through all my troubles; for all the opportunities he has given me.
