Brass, Money...and other delights: March 2008

Sunday, March 30, 2008. Full "Birth of Third Stream" Credits. Posted by Peter G. Birth of the Third Stream- has anyone heard this? There is a track "Sea Lady," that while it features an opening sax solo really typifies a rich brass sound. But I wanted to call your attention to this album, that I've never heard but have wanted to. Perhaps prof. Manning, being from Boston, has a line on it? It's a Gunther Schuller/Miles Davis/Dmitri Mitropolous (whoa! Collaboration entitled "The Birth of the Third Stream".

Brass, Money...and other delights: The "Morrison Sound"
http://remembertheseventies.blogspot.com/2008/04/morrison-sound.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2008. I was on the radio today for a show called "Grumpy Old Grad Students," where these two grad students asked me what it was like to be a trumpet major. It will eventually be streamed, with all my frivolous banter,. One question they asked me was what a trumpet player can do to make money. I said symphonies, small little pick-up brass gigs, ceremonial music, church music, funk/rock bands, jazz, solo touring recitals. (just kidding about that last one). Well, I am just as annoyed as ...

Brass, Money...and other delights: Hugh Masekela
http://remembertheseventies.blogspot.com/2008/03/hugh-masekela.html
Friday, March 28, 2008. I have mentioned in other posts Hugh Masekela, the South African trumpeter/flugelhornist who was instrumental in developing world music and also a powerful witness for black South Africans during the Apartheid era. "Apartheid" means separateness in Afrikaans, the native South African language, and a policy of segregation between four races was enforced by an oppressive white colonial government. Imagine if the Jim Crow laws were official policy for all. To let loose and sing and d...

Brass, Money...and other delights: Come Swing With Me
http://remembertheseventies.blogspot.com/2008/03/come-swing-with-me.html
Friday, March 28, 2008. Come Swing With Me. Come on, get your mind out of the gutter. Ever since junior high, I've been a huge Sinatra fan. You won't be surprised to know I got picked on and had frequent nosebleeds. But enough about my childhood. Sinatra has three style periods: the first came during World War II when he was a matinee idol (swooned over by young "bobby-soxers") and it is generally acknowledged that his voice was purest and smoothest in this period. But he got his start. Big bands. In...

Monday, January 28, 2008. Cha-Ching: Money and the Brass Ensemble. What am I going to explore? Light-pop excursions by brass-heavy ensembles in the 1960s and 1970s. This is the stuff we chuckle at: Chuck Mangione, Herb Alpert, and Al Hirt. These cats made some decent “bread” in their day, but were they—gasp—sellouts? Why shed the prejudices? Posted by Peter G.

Brass, Money...and other delights: "Fanfare Liturgiques" came from an opera
http://remembertheseventies.blogspot.com/2008/04/fanfare-liturgiques-came-from-opera.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Fanfare Liturgiques" came from an opera. Out It's from the Henri Tomasi association in France. This is from the timeline of his life, and suggests that Fanfares is not unlike La Peri. But can you imagine playing that music (hopefully in the opera it was shorter) and then going back to your opera section parts? Posted by Peter G. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
