Jazz composition
|
More Than You Know The recordings in February and March 1975 was the beginning of the end of the European Diaspora for Dexter Gordon. The article is adjusting the previous discographical account for these sessions, account which have had some inconsistencies. The sessions were at the
same time a harbinger for Palle Mikkelborg's composition Aura,
which he recorded with Miles Davis in 1985, and the
article traces the relation between the two recordings. |

Music |
Jazz as autonomous music That jazz acquired status as autonomous music with bebop is the understanding of many jazz historians today. Does it mean that all of jazz must be understood as autonomous music as it has been suggested? Or is it rather a part of the effort known as jazz: America's classical music? Well, it is dubious if we have a common understanding of what autonomous music is. And what about musicians in early jazz like for instance Duke Ellington, who frequently took a position in direct opposition to the idea of autonomous music? On the basis of a short bibliography and a selection of citations from the jazz literature and the general music literature the paper is discussing these questions. Updated February 2008 |

Databases in music studies |
Databases as
a tool for discographical and historical jazz studies The general use of databases as a tool for jazz studies is still only for experts, even if there are so much data connected to the study of the music that databases are an obvious tool for the it. For information on historical and technical aspect of discographies go to www.JazzDiscography.com. However, the use of databases is not limited to discographies only, they are also very efficient for matters like ouevres of composers, bibliographies, notes on the music etc. You are welcome to discuss such matters with the editor - the e-mail address is below. In the meantime on this site contains the article: Lineups in a discographical relational
database The article presents a solution for this problem that is simple and reduces the typing work considerably at the same time. |
