ABSTRACT The 2014 album Blue by the group MOPDTK (Mostly Other People do the Killing) is an exact, musical one-to-one reproduction of Miles Davis’s iconic and best-selling recording Kind of Blue (1959). In this project, I argue that while Blue sounds and appears as jazz, it is much rather a conceptual idea borrowed from a literary example, in the disguise of Jazz. Blue raises questions that are central to the understanding of the mens auctoris, genre, and art in general. In regard to the mens auctoris, the question mainly pertains to intent and originality. In the scope of art in general, we are faced with the question about the relationship between replication and value (monetary and artistic). Blue also evoked typical reactions associated with a work that questions assumptions about genre. Upon its initial reception, many listeners seemed unable to place it confidently and categorize the album according to genre.
MOPDTK乐队2014年的专辑《Blue》是迈尔斯·戴维斯标志性的畅销唱片《Kind of Blue》(1959)的精确、音乐的一对一复制。在这个项目中,我认为,虽然蓝色听起来和看起来像爵士乐,但它更像是借用了一个文学例子的概念,在爵士乐的伪装下。蓝色提出了一些问题,这些问题对于理解男性作家、流派和艺术来说是至关重要的。就行为主体而言,问题主要在于意图和原创性。在一般的艺术范围内,我们面临着复制和价值(金钱和艺术)之间关系的问题。蓝色也引起了与质疑体裁假设的作品有关的典型反应。在它最初的接收,许多听众似乎无法自信地放置它,并根据流派对专辑进行分类。

On Musical Value: John Lewis, Structural Listening, and the Politics of Respectability 论音乐价值:约翰·刘易斯、结构倾听与尊重政治

ABSTRACT In this article, I reveal the ways in which musical value, as marked by methods and places of listening, is intricately connected to race. I focus on John Lewis in his role as pianist and artistic director of the Modern Jazz Quartet, an African American jazz group formed in 1952 with members Milt Jackson (vibraphone), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums) (replaced by Connie Kay in 1955). To understand Lewis’s approach toward listening and place with the quartet, I explore the concepts of structural listening and the politics of respectability. European modernists Arnold Schoenberg and Theodor Adorno privileged structural listening, a mode of listening highlighting concentration on structure and form, in the process of aligning musical and social value. The equation of musical and social value resulted in a privileging of whiteness in three aspects: (1) musical genre; (2) places of musical performance; and (3) modes of listening audiences engaged in. I argue that Lewis privileged musical values stemming from the European classical music tradition. While others have argued that doing so demonstrates Lewis’s engagement in a broader politics of respectability at mid-century, I interrogate the inherent disconnect between the musical values of structural listening and respectability politics.
在这篇文章中,我揭示了音乐价值与种族之间错综复杂的联系,这种联系是以聆听的方式和地点为标志的。我将重点介绍约翰·刘易斯作为现代爵士四重奏的钢琴家和艺术总监的角色。现代爵士四重奏是一个非裔美国爵士乐队,成立于1952年,成员包括米尔特·杰克逊(颤音琴)、珀西·希思(贝斯)和肯尼·克拉克(鼓)(1955年由康妮·凯取代)。为了理解刘易斯对倾听的态度和在四重奏中的位置,我探讨了结构性倾听和体面政治的概念。欧洲现代主义者勋伯格(Arnold Schoenberg)和阿多诺(Theodor Adorno)在协调音乐价值和社会价值的过程中,特别重视结构倾听,即一种注重结构和形式的倾听模式。音乐与社会价值的等同导致了白人在三个方面的特权:(1)音乐类型;(二)音乐表演场所;(3)听众参与的倾听模式。我认为刘易斯推崇源自欧洲古典音乐传统的音乐价值观。虽然其他人认为,这样做表明刘易斯参与了本世纪中叶更广泛的体面政治,但我质疑结构性倾听的音乐价值与体面政治之间的内在脱节。

The Paradox of Progress: Jazz, Resistance, and Black Musical Labor in Pittsburgh (1955–1974) 进步的悖论:匹兹堡的爵士乐、抵抗运动和黑人音乐劳动(1955–1974)

ABSTRACT This article examines jazz musicians as Black musical laborers in the context of urban redevelopment and the Civil Rights era. I focus specifically on the activities of Local 471: Pittsburgh’s Black Local of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), which was founded in 1908 and merged with its white counterpart, Local 60, in 1966. As labor leaders, Local 471 presidents Carl Arter (1955–1962) and Joseph Westray (1962–1965) used their positions to challenge discriminatory practices in Pittsburgh’s musical workplaces with Westray negotiating the 1965 merger of Locals 471 and 60. I examine how Local 471’s members struggled to both challenge workplace discrimination and maintain autonomy within the union system, actions that were both resultant of and resistant to segregation. When the merged local failed to elect any Black musicians to it executive board in 1970 and again in 1972, the activist group Black Musicians of Pittsburgh (BMOP) was formed to address the lack of Black union representation. The ongoing racial tensions and BMOP’s unsuccessful lawsuit against Local 60-471 presented a central paradox for Black leadership and activism in Pittsburgh’s musical labor as the promises of progress resulted in widespread abandonment of the union by Black musicians in Pittsburgh.
摘要本文探讨了在城市重建和民权时代背景下,爵士音乐家作为黑人音乐劳动者的身份。我特别关注Local 471的活动:匹兹堡的美国音乐家联合会黑人Local(AFM),该联合会成立于1908年,1966年与白人同行Local 60合并。作为劳工领袖,地方471主席Carl Arter(1955–1962)和Joseph Westray(1962–1965)利用他们的职位挑战匹兹堡音乐工作场所的歧视性做法,Westray在1965年谈判了地方471和60的合并。我研究了Local 471的成员如何努力挑战工作场所的歧视,并在工会系统内保持自主权,这些行为既是种族隔离的结果,也是对种族隔离的抵制。1970年和1972年,当合并后的地方未能选举任何黑人音乐家进入执行董事会时,匹兹堡黑人音乐家活动家组织(BMOP)成立,以解决黑人工会代表性不足的问题。持续的种族紧张局势和BMOP对Local 60-471的诉讼失败,为匹兹堡音乐界的黑人领导层和激进主义提供了一个核心悖论,因为进步的承诺导致匹兹堡黑人音乐家普遍放弃了工会。

The Roots of Electronic Jazz, 1950–1970 电子爵士乐的根源,1950–1970

ABSTRACT The history of jazz is one of cascading events and styles that continually inform and influence what follows. This transformation is an accumulation over time of styles, methods, and techniques. During the 1950s and 1960s, electronic music gradually left the confines of the institution and migrated into the hands of independent musicians. Among the early explorers were jazz musicians who laid a foundation of experiment for later musicians to model and emulate. This article discusses two types of such experiments: (1) Jazz incorporating prerecorded electronic music on tape (1960–1970) and (2) Jazz using live electronics other than synthesizers (early years from 1965–1970). A discography is provided.
摘要爵士乐的历史是一连串的事件和风格,它们不断地影响和影响着接下来的事情。这种转变是风格、方法和技术随着时间的推移而积累起来的。在20世纪50年代和60年代,电子音乐逐渐离开了学院的束缚,转移到了独立音乐家的手中。早期的探索者中有爵士乐音乐家,他们为后来的音乐家树立榜样和效仿奠定了实验基础。本文讨论了两种类型的此类实验:(1)将预先录制的电子音乐放在磁带上的爵士乐(1960-1970)和(2)使用合成器以外的现场电子设备的爵士乐(1965年-1970年)。提供光盘记录。

‘The Mortar Between the Bricks’: Willis Conover and Global Jazz “砖块之间的砂浆”:威利斯·科诺弗和全球爵士乐队

ABSTRACT Willis Conover was arguably the most famous American in the pre-internet age. This Voice of America radio program, Music U.S.A. beamed popular music and jazz into people's lives all over the world from 1956 to his death in 1996. His program was part of a broader effort on the part of the US government to use jazz as diplomatic tool in their struggle against communism. This paper argues that Willis Conover's Music U.S.A. became the “mortar between the bricks” of the globalized jazz community, a cultural medium which simultaneously served US foreign policy interests, furthered the spread of jazz and fostered communication between physically and ideologically separated peoples. Conover achieved because his program was the nexus between uninterrupted government support, the power of mass radio and commercialized recording companies. This paper makes use of varied sources to include US government documents, Conover’s personal papers, periodicals, fan letters, production materials as well as oral histories and contemporary interviews.
摘要威利斯·康诺弗可以说是前互联网时代最著名的美国人。从1956年到他1996年去世,美国之音广播节目“音乐美国”将流行音乐和爵士乐传播到世界各地的人们生活中。他的计划是美国政府在反对共产主义的斗争中利用爵士乐作为外交工具的更广泛努力的一部分。本文认为,Willis Conover的《音乐美国》成为全球化爵士乐社区的“砖与砖之间的砂浆”,这是一种文化媒介,同时服务于美国的外交政策利益,促进了爵士乐的传播,促进了身体和思想上分离的民族之间的交流。Conover之所以能取得这一成就,是因为他的节目是政府不间断支持、大众广播的力量和商业化唱片公司之间的纽带。本文利用了各种来源,包括美国政府文件、Conover的个人论文、期刊、粉丝信、制作材料以及口述历史和当代采访。

Towards a Spatial Reconsideration of “West Coast” and “East Coast” in Jazz: Hip Hop Parallels and Notions of the Local 爵士乐中“西海岸”与“东海岸”的空间再思考:嘻哈的比喻与本土观念

ABSTRACT West Coast jazz practices following World War II have often been positioned as diametrically opposed to jazz practices in New York and other Eastern cities. In comparison to the dominant New York scene, the “West Coast sound” has routinely been dismissed as being too laid back, too informed by Western art music, too unswinging, and, more often than not, too white. Yet, it seems rather obvious that sociocultural and environmental factors unique to California would have had an affective impact upon musicians and musical expression in the region; an attitude frequently reflected in discussions of popular music. In an exploration of the West Coast sound that attempts to reach beyond considerations of racial authenticity, this paper draws attention to the similar ways in which notions of authenticity and differences in sound and expression in the debate surrounding East Coast versus West Coast hip hop (1980s-1990s) can be seen to mirror those surrounding the West Coast/East Coast jazz divide some 40 years earlier, and suggests that the aesthetic and regional concerns expressed by the hip hop community may provide a means to reconsider and reassess the jazz sounds emerging from California in the 1940s–1950s.
第二次世界大战后,西海岸的爵士乐实践往往被定位为与纽约和其他东部城市的爵士乐实践截然相反。与纽约的主流音乐相比,“西海岸的声音”经常被认为过于悠闲,过于受西方艺术音乐的影响,过于坚定不移,而且往往过于白人化。然而,很明显,加州特有的社会文化和环境因素会对该地区的音乐家和音乐表达产生情感影响;一种经常反映在流行音乐讨论中的态度。在对西海岸声音的探索中,试图超越种族真实性的考虑,本文提请注意,在围绕东海岸与西海岸嘻哈的辩论(20世纪80年代至90年代)中,真实性概念以及声音和表达的差异,可以被视为反映了大约40年前围绕西海岸/东海岸爵士乐分歧的概念,并表明嘻哈社区表达的美学和地域关注可能为重新考虑和重新评估20世纪40年代至50年代从加利福尼亚出现的爵士乐提供了一种手段。

Complexity and Ambivalence: The Ethics of Jazz in Sidney Bechet’s and Warren Dodds’s Autobiographies 复杂性与歧义性:西德尼·贝切特和沃伦·多兹自传中的爵士乐伦理

ABSTRACT During the twentieth century, jazz was at the center of multiple debates about social life and American experience. Jazz music and its performers were framed in both positive and negative manners. The autobiographies of New Orleans musicians Sidney Bechet and Warren Dodds provide insight into the general frames they used to frame jazz experience and agency sometimes at odds with dominant discourses. Through Michel Foucault’s notion of ethical substance, I analyze the way in which jazz is constructed in their autobiographies. Several themes are used by both autobiographers to frame their actions, which are constructed in a complex and ambivalent manner revealing both the ethics of jazz and its covert culture.
摘要在二十世纪,爵士乐是关于社会生活和美国人经历的多场争论的中心。爵士乐及其演奏者既有积极的一面,也有消极的一面。新奥尔良音乐家西德尼·贝切特(Sidney Bechet)和沃伦·多兹(Warren Dods。通过米歇尔·福柯的伦理实质观,我分析了爵士乐在其自传中的建构方式。两位传记作家都用几个主题来描述他们的行为,这些行为以复杂而矛盾的方式构建,揭示了爵士乐的伦理及其隐秘的文化。

Through Michel Foucault’s notion of ethical substance, I analyze the way in which jazz is constructed in their autobiographies.

ABSTRACT Creativity is often denied to women, and female jazz instrumentalists have been accused, openly or subtly, of lacking their own innovations. These critiques can reveal the manner in which jazz historians and critics, past and present, discuss creativity and how these ways fundamentally disadvantage historical and current jazz women. Several areas of jazz scholarship have benefited from investigations of the female and the feminine. What has previously been underplayed, though, was the manner in which women created musical spaces for themselves by using methods that were often considered uncreative. Despite feminism’s successes in reclaiming the historical value of female jazz instrumentalists such as Lil Hardin and Mary Lou Williams, these women confound modern women by insisting on describing their own playing as masculine. Some jazz women took their comparisons with men a step further, associating themselves with specific performers; for example, Valaida Snow, a trumpeter and singer, marketed herself as “Little Louis,” thus encouraging listeners to connect her performances with Louis Armstrong. This work details the reasons that women jazz instrumentalists utilized mimicry to gain access to masculine musical spaces and the successes that they experienced as a result. In reclaiming women’s imitative techniques, I recast women as creative entities.
女性的创造力常常被剥夺,女性爵士乐器演奏家被公开或微妙地指责缺乏自己的创新。这些批评可以揭示过去和现在的爵士历史学家和评论家讨论创造力的方式,以及这些方式如何从根本上使历史和现在的爵士女性处于不利地位。爵士乐研究的一些领域得益于对女性和女性的研究。然而,以前被低估的是,女性为自己创造音乐空间的方式,她们使用的方法通常被认为是缺乏创造性的。尽管女权主义成功地恢复了像Lil Hardin和Mary Lou Williams这样的女性爵士乐器演奏家的历史价值,但这些女性坚持将自己的演奏描述为男性化,这让现代女性感到困惑。一些爵士女性将自己与男性的比较更进一步,将自己与特定的表演者联系起来;例如,小号手兼歌手瓦拉伊达·斯诺(Valaida Snow)推销自己为“小路易斯”,从而鼓励听众将她的表演与路易斯·阿姆斯特朗(Louis Armstrong)联系起来。这部作品详细介绍了女性爵士器乐演奏家利用模仿进入男性音乐空间的原因以及由此获得的成功。在回收女性模仿技巧的过程中,我将女性重塑为具有创造力的实体。
