Описание: This year marks the golden anniversary of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the flagship band of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Formed in 1966 and flourishing until 2010, the Art Ensemble distinguished itself by its unique performance practices--members played hundreds of instruments on stage, recited poetry, performed theatrical sketches, and wore face paint, masks, lab coats, and traditional African and Asian dress. The group, which built a global audience and toured across six continents, presented their work as experimental performance art, in opposition to the jazz industry's traditionalist aesthetics.
In Message to Our Folks, Paul Steinbeck combines musical analysis and historical inquiry to give us the definitive study of the Art Ensemble. In the book, he proposes a new theory of group improvisation that explains how the band members were able to improvise together in so many different styles while also drawing on an extensive repertoire of notated compositions. Steinbeck examines the multimedia dimensions of the Art Ensemble's performances and the ways in which their distinctive model of social relations kept the group performing together for four decades. Message to Our Folks is a striking and valuable contribution to our understanding of one of the world's premier musical groups.

Dr. Ray Smith is able to share in the pages of this wonderful book ideas and approaches gleaned from over 4o years of successful jazz teaching to help solve common, recurring problems that stand in the way of creating a superior jazz ensemble. He has been blessed with many insights and approaches that are effective and have allowed him to consistently turn out a superior jazz ensemble year after year and countless private students who have gone on to be very successful. His former students include many respected college and high school band directors as well as some who are writing music in Hollywood and others who are leaders in the Jazz Education Network. No matter where you are in your teaching career, you will find a wealth of help within these pages. Auxiliary to the book are a series of videos that are priceless examples of fine jazz teaching and problem solving. The videos include demonstrations by Smith but also show him working with bands in the public schools and at the university. Although tailored specifically to jazz big band directors, the majority of the principles in the book and videos apply equally well to private jazz teaching and to vocal jazz pedagogy.
About the Author
Dr. Ray Smith is the educator's educator. He is a master pedagogue and is respected as such by all of his peers. When he does clinics for educators, they flock to find out what they can learn. This book represents teaching ideas from more than forty years of directing jazz bands. The proof is in the pudding as they say. Smith's Brigham Young University Big Band, Synthesis, has literally toured the world (Western Europe, Russia and Siberia, Scandinavia, British Isles, Japan, China, Brazil, and the Baltic States), performed at numerous jazz festivals both in the USA and internationally (Montreux, Umbria, North Sea, San Sebastian, Loule, Birmingham, Wigam, Marlboro, Edinburgh, Kongsberg, Pori, Lionel Hampton, IAJE, and JEN), and received accolades repeatedly (Downbeat Top University Jazz Band, Downbeat Outstanding Performance, 1st Place Pacific Coast Collegiate Jazz Festival, 1st Place Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, MusicFest USA Finals, NAJE-Epcot Festival Winner, and more); and recorded 20 CDs, and has performed as the Harry James Big Band aboard the Queen Elizabeth II from New York to London. In 2019, the big band will tour Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic.
Dr. Smith's teaching is informed by his world class performance skills, and his performing credits are equally impressive as his teaching credits. As a performer, Smith is equally at home in either classical or jazz-related styles and is adept at all five of the woodwind instruments. He has well over 200 CD credits and has recorded on many film scores and television themes (The Sandlot, The Swan Princess, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, ESPN, Buick, and Chevy to name a few). He is a member of The Recording Academy and a voting member in the Grammy's.
Smith's pedagogical credentials stem from learning from his mentors: David Baker, Dominic Spera, Jamey Aebersold, George Ross, and Newell Dayley. In 1998, he was given the Voice of Jazz Award for the State of Utah; and in 2008, he was recognized by the International Association for Jazz Education as the first Utah Jazz Master, a lifetime achievement award "for profound contributions and virtuoso performance in the field of jazz in Utah."

Описание: Gilbert Kalish, American Pianist chronicles the life and work of a celebrated performer and teacher. This unique volume combines memoirs; tributes by friends, family and colleagues; and personal reflections on music by one who has been at the forefront of American chamber music, contemporary music and piano pedagogy for more than a half-century. As a soloist and as a member of various ensembles, Gil has appeared at Tanglewood, Marlboro, Music@Menlo, the Yellow Barn Music Festival, and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, among other venues, and has premiered many works of the music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as his voluminous discography indicates. He writes about his fascinating career, during which he has appeared with such notable singers as Jon Vickers, Jan DeGaetani, and Dawn Upshaw. Gil also muses on his role as a pedagogue—on the faculty of Stony Brook University (SUNY) for more than fifty years, where he has taught, coached and mentored many hundreds of talented musicians, and at numerous music festivals, colleges and universities worldwide. All of the above is intertwined with Gil's life story— much of it told in his own words—which details his view of the coincidences, luck and hard work that have brought him a rewarding family life and an outstanding career.

Описание: The Stooges Brass Band always had big dreams. From playing in the streets of New Orleans in the mid-1990s to playing stages the world over, they have held fast to their goal of raising brass band music and musicians to new heights - professionally and musically. In the intervening years, the band's members have become family, courted controversy, and trained a new generation of musicians, becoming one of the city's top brass bands along the way. Two decades after their founding, they have decided to tell their story. Can't Be Faded: Twenty Years in the New Orleans Brass Band Game is a collaboration between musician and ethnomusicologist Kyle DeCoste and more than a dozen members of the Stooges Brass Band, past and present. It is the culmination of five years of interviews, research, and writing. Told with humor and candor, it's as much a personal account of the Stooges' careers as it is a story of the city's musicians and, even more generally, a coming-of-age tale about black men in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. DeCoste and the band members take readers into the barrooms, practice rooms, studios, tour vans, and streets where the music is made and brotherhoods are shaped and strengthened. Comprised of lively firsthand accounts and honest dialogue, Can't Be Faded is a dynamic approach to collaborative research that offers a sensitive portrait of the humans behind the horns.

In Making Light Raymond Knapp traces the musical legacy of German Idealism as it led to the declining prestige of composers such as Haydn while influencing the development of American popular music in the nineteenth century. Knapp identifies in Haydn and in early popular American musical cultures such as minstrelsy and operetta a strain of high camp—a mode of engagement that relishes both the superficial and serious aspects of an aesthetic experience—that runs antithetical to German Idealism's musical paradigms. By considering the disservice done to Haydn by German Idealism alongside the emergence of musical camp in American popular music, Knapp outlines a common ground: a humanistically based aesthetic of shared pleasure that points to ways in which camp receptive modes might rejuvenate the original appeal of Haydn's music that has mostly eluded audiences. In so doing, Knapp remaps the historiographical modes and systems of critical evaluation that dominate musicology while troubling the divide between serious and popular music.
