During this period, jazz was presented in a variety of ways in different venues, on four of which I focus: New Orleans-style jazz commonly performed for the same audiences in Rhythm Clubs and in concert halls (as shown by George Webb’s Dixielanders at the Red Barn public house and the King’s Hall); clubs hosting different styles of jazz on different nights of the week that brought in different audiences (such as the 100 Club on Oxford Street); clubs with a fixed stylistic ideology that changed venue, taking a regular fan base and musicians to different locations (such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club); and jazz in theatres (such as the Little Theatre Club and Mike West- brook’s compositions for performance in the Mermaid Theatre).

The making of the British Jazz Avant-Garde: 1968-1973 Introduction: Making British Jazz ... and Race In 1968 the Arts Council of Great Britain (ACGB), the quasi-governmental agency responsible for providing public support for the arts, formed its first ‘Jazz Sub-Committee’. Its main business was to allocate bursaries usually consisting of no more than a few hundred pounds to jazz composers and musicians. The principal stipulation was that awards be used to develop creative activity that might not otherwise attract commercial support. Bassist, composer and bandleader Graham Collier was the first recipient – he received £500 to support his work on what became the Workpoints composition. In the early years of the scheme, further beneficiaries included Ian Carr, Mike Gibbs, Tony Oxley, Keith Tippett, Mike Taylor, Evan Parker and Mike Westbrook – all prominent members of what was seen as a new, emergent and distinctively British avant-garde jazz scene. Our point of departure in this chapter is that what might otherwise be regarded as a bureaucratic footnote in the annals of the ACGB was actually a crucial moment in the history of British jazz.

Final Thesis.Pdf
An Investigation of the Impact of Ensemble Interrelationship on Performances of Improvised Music Through Practice Research by Sarah Gail Brand Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 Abstract In this thesis I present my investigation into the ways in which the creative and social relationships I have developed with long-term collaborators alter or affect the musical decisions I make in my performances of Improvised Music. The aim of the investigation has been to deepen the understanding of my musical and relational processes as a trombonist through the examination of my artistic practice, which is formed by experiences in range of genres such as Jazz and contemporary music, with a current specialty in Improvised Music performance. By creating an interpretative framework from the theoretical and analytical processes used in music therapy practice, I have introduced a tangible set of concepts that can interpret my Improvised Music performance processes and establish objective perspectives of subjective musical experiences. Chapter one is concerned with recent debates in Improvised Music and music therapy. Particular reference is made to literature that considers interplay between performers. Chapter two focuses on my individual artistic practice and examines the influence of five trombone players from Jazz and Improvised Music performance on my praxis. A recording of one of my solo trombone performances accompanies this section. It concludes with a discussion on my process of making tacit knowledge of Improvised Music performance tangible and explicit and the abstruse nature of subjective feeling states when performing improvisation. This concludes part one of the thesis.

NJA British Jazz Timeline with Pics(Rev3) 11.06.19
British Jazz Timeline Pre-1900 – In the beginning The music to become known as ‘jazz’ is generally thought to have been conceived in America during the second half of the nineteenth century by African-Americans who combined their work songs, melodies, spirituals and rhythms with European music and instruments – a process that accelerated after the abolition of slavery in 1865. Black entertainment was already a reality, however, before this evolution had taken place and in 1873 the Fisk Jubilee Singers, an Afro- American a cappella ensemble, came to the UK on a fundraising tour during which they were asked to sing for Queen Victoria. The Fisk Singers were followed into Britain by a wide variety of Afro-American presentations such as minstrel shows and full-scale revues, a pattern that continued into the early twentieth century. [The Fisk Jubilee Singers c1890s © Fisk University] 1900s – The ragtime era Ragtime, a new style of syncopated popular music, was published as sheet music from the late 1890s for dance and theatre orchestras in the USA, and the availability of printed music for the piano (as well as player-piano rolls) encouraged American – and later British – enthusiasts to explore the style for themselves. Early rags like Charles Johnson’s ‘Dill Pickles’ and George Botsford’s ‘Black and White Rag’ were widely performed by parlour-pianists. Ragtime became a principal musical force in American and British popular culture (notably after the publication of Irving Berlin’s popular song ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’ in 1911 and the show Hullo, Ragtime! staged at the London Hippodrome the following year) and it was a central influence on the development of jazz.

Victo CD 015
LINDSAY COOPER Oh Moscow Victo CD 015 Oh Moscow was conceived by Lindsay Cooper and Sally Potter in 1987, when superpower confrontation seemed ever lasting; walls had already fallen when this performance was recorded at the Victoriaville (Quebec) Festival in 1989. But separation and reconciliation are transcendent themes for any song cycle and Potter’s direct verses consider the wider issue of European postwar divisions. There is outrage at the wealth squandered on military confrontation while the lessons of 'mother Russia’ are neglected in favour of more appealing American cultural imports. She sings her texts with moving commit ment and is joined by the inimitable Phil Minton, who in The Allies' parodies the entire voice of America from Elvis to ' Donald Duck. Lindsay Cooper’s musical sensibility borrows from Weill, Westbrook and the Trio Bulgarka to avoid American accents; her own playing on bassoon and saxes is resolutely Eastern. But the impact of this music would have been more incisive without so many rhetorical interludes for the instrumentalists. Pianist Elvira Plenar’s interlude of Tayloresque Tartary is impressive but, like Alfred 23 Harth’s screaming sax, too predictable in this context. Marilyn Mazur's drum solo in 'Liberty Bonds' is, conversely, a model of economy and caps the best music of the cycle. Chris Clark Lindsay Cooper FOR BASSOON ANDA FILM page 20 The comic, but also mollifying 'West Side Story' that David Thomas tells/sings on the flexidisc in last month's V IN Y L has an un expected intermezzo on bassoon. It is played by Lindsay Cooper, who accompanied Tho mas on his tour in Holland.

Composing for the Films Mandy Merck Asks Lindsay Cooper About Scoring the Independents
40 COMPOSING FOR THE FILMS MANDY MERCK ASKS LINDSAY COOPER ABOUT SCORING THE INDEPENDENTS AFTER SEVERAL YEARS of a youthful musical career which 1 The Song of the ranged from a classical training at the Royal College of Music and the Shirt, directed by National Youth Orchestra to membership in the experimental rock Sue Clayton and Jonathan Curling, group Henry Cow and participation in jazz and improvisational UK, 1979. ensembles like the Mike Westbrook Band, Company and the Feminist Improvisation Group, Lindsay Cooper began writing film music in 1979. Since then she has combined work as a performer with composi- tion for both recordings and the cinema-becoming an important influence on the sound of British independent film. This May the BFI Production Board opens its much-anticipated feature, The Gold Diggers, at the National Film Theatre. Made by an all- women group, including writer/director Sally Potter, The Gold Diggers was both scored and co-scripted by Lindsay Cooper. This interview with her was conducted in March, shortly after the film was shown at the Berlin Festival. Mandy Merck: The Song of the Shirt1 was your first attempt at compos- ing and arranging for film. I understand it was almost entirely shot, though not edited, by the time you were commissioned. Lindsay Cooper: I think they had one or two bits of re-shooting to do and one or two sequences to shoot. I started work on the music shortly before the edit started. Do you think you were right for it? I think I was perfect, actually. I think that probably of all the things I've ever done, that project most aptly combined my various talents and interests.

Concept, partners and planning The idea of holding a festival celebrating Dartmoor music through time, to mark the 20th Anniversary of the Dartmoor Society, was conceived by Tom Greeves, Chairman of the Dartmoor Society, to complement the Festival of Dartmoor Literature that was held to mark the Society’s 10th Anniversary in 2008. He wrote to Simon Ible, Director of Music at Peninsula Arts, Plymouth University, in May 2014, outlining his initial thoughts. Simon’s enthusiastic response and a coffee with him in Plymouth, led to a meeting in February 2015 with him and identified partners including Seventh Wave Music and Wren Music. A second meeting in September 2015 included Lucy Luxmoore, oboeist, singer, teacher and co-founder of the Devonport Park Community Choir. Further meetings with partners were held in January, March, July, September and November 2016. These clarified that it would be a midsummer festival (we were aware that Glastonbury would have a ‘fallow’ year in 2018), and its title 3 ‘Dartmoor Resonance’, suggested by Carolyn Hillyer, was confirmed. Marilyn Tucker of Wren Music offered to be the lead on grant applications. A 10-day festival 15-24 June was revised to a 9-day series of events 16-24 June.
