  • En Guise D'avant-Propos
    En guise d’avant-propos WEST COAST JAZZ — « La West Coast, qu’est‑ce que c’est ? » (Lee Konitz). — « C’est une étiquette, rien de plus. » (Hampton Hawes). — « Ça a été un pur accident. » (Chet Baker). L’appellation « Jazz West Coast » a toujours posé un problème à ceux‑là mêmes qui étaient censés l’avoir créée. Une étiquette rejetée plus ou moins violemment que quelques‑uns ont fini par accepter de guerre lasse. « On a toujours besoin d’un label », reconnaissait Shelly Manne. Apposer une estam‑ pille n’est guère difficile, les problèmes surgissent à partir du moment où il s’agit de préciser ce qu’elle est supposée recouvrir. Dans ce cas précis, s’agit‑il d’une forme de jazz inventée par des Californiens ? Certainement pas : le gros des musiciens venait de l’Est. Alors d’une variante jouée uniquement sur les bords du Pacifique ? Faux, il en existe des équivalents à New York, Boston, Chicago, en Suède et ailleurs encore. Peut‑ ISBN 978-2-86364-665-6 être un style pratiqué exclusivement par des jazzmen de race blanche ? Certes, / ils étaient majoritaires — et l’on verra pourquoi —, mais que deviennent Chico Jazz Hamilton, Buddy Collette, Curtis Counce, Leroy Vinnegar, Hampton Hawes et quelques autres ? Existe‑t‑il seulement une spécificité dans la musique inter‑ Coast prétée en Californie au cours des années 1952‑1965 ? Plus on en approfondit West l’étude, plus le doute s’installe. — Cette difficulté à appréhender globalement le «Jazz West Coast » ne lui appartient pas en propre. De semblables ambiguïtés se retrouvent Tercinet à propos de tous les styles dûment catalogués.

  • Julius Watkins and the Evolution of the Jazz French Horn Genre
    JULIUS WATKINS AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE JAZZ FRENCH HORN GENRE By PATRICK GREGORY SMITH A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Patrick Gregory Smith This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Donald A. Carlson (1948-2001). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In my efforts to “channel Julius” I have had support and guidance from numerous individuals who deserve my heartfelt thanks and personal gratitude. I cannot overstate my appreciation for my degree supervisor, Dr. David Z. Kushner. With his enthusiasm, teachings, and inspiration, he has helped to increase my passion for music history and, in turn, made me a more competent educator. Throughout my dissertation writing period, he provided support, sound advice, good company and plentiful commentary. I would have been lost without him. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Basler for his guidance, mentorship, empathy and musicality. His encouragement for the performance of non-traditional repertoire for our instrument has caused a significant broadening in my own musical tastes. He has been a teacher and a colleague, and because of him, I am a better horn player and, ultimately, a better person. I would like to thank the other members of my supervisory committee, Dr. Art Jennings, Dr. Leslie Odom, and Dr. Eldon Turner, for their individual help and insightful teachings over the previous semesters. I am grateful to Dr. John Duff whose endless encouragement and generosity in supporting my musicological endeavors has been most appreciated.

    AMPLIFIER POWER: How Much Is Enough? 60 cents X high fideli iCD NOVEMBER THE MAGAZINE FOR MUSIC LISTENERS Iii63 Tite Winds of Mozart www.americanradiohistory.com The Fisher KM-60 StrataKit is the most sensitive FM- Stereo -Multiplex tuner ever offered in kit form. Its ultrasophisticated Fisher wide -band circuitry incorporates the revolutionary GOLDEN CASCODE - four IF stages and three limiters, resulting in a sensitivity of 1.8 micro- volts (IHF standard), a capture ratio of 2.5 db and a signal -to -noise ratio of 70 db. The front - end and multiplex stages of the kit come completely assembled and pre -aligned. The other stages are also aligned and require only a touch -up adjustment by means of the tuner's laboratory -type d'Arsonval signal -strength meter. An outstanding feature of the Multiplex section is the exclu- sive STEREO BEAMt, an ingenious Fisher invention that shows instantly whether or not an FM station is broadcasting in stereo. It is in operation at all times and is independent of the tuning meter. Price, $169.50 *. The Fisher KX -200 StrataKit is the most advanced single -chassis stereo control -amplifier available in kit form. Its music power output of 80 watts (IHF Standard, both channels) is sufficient to drive even extremely low -efficiency speaker systems to their maximum performance level. Harmonic distortion at rated output is only 0.4 %. The built -in laboratory -type d'Arsonval calibration meter assures optimum bias and balance adjustment and permits 'touching up' for continued peak performance throughout the years, regardless of tube aging. A third -channel power output with separate volume control makes it possible to feed a blend of both stereo channels into a center -channel fill -in speaker or a mono extension speaker at any desired volume level.

  • What Is Jazz Education
    What Is at Stake in Jazz Education? Creative Black Music and the Twenty-First-Century Learning Environment DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Norman Michael Goecke, M.M., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Ryan T. Skinner William T. McDaniel Copyright by Norman Michael Goecke 2016 Abstract This dissertation aims to explore and describe, in ethnographic terms, some of the principal formal and non-formal environments in which jazz music is learned today. By elucidating the broad aesthetic, stylistic, and social landscapes of present-day jazz pedagogy, it seeks to encourage the revitalization and reorientation of jazz education, and of the cultural spaces in which it takes place. Although formal learning environments have increasingly supported the activities of the jazz community, I argue that this development has also entailed a number of problems, notably a renewal of racial tensions spurred on by 1) the under-representation of non-white students and faculty, especially black Americans; 2) the widespread adoption of 'color-blind' methodologies in formal music-learning environments, which serve to perpetuate ambivalence or apathy in the addressing of racial problems; 3) a failure adequately to address cultural studies related to the black heritage of jazz music; and 4) the perpetuation of a narrow vision of jazz music that privileges certain
