During the Fifties, a musical style frequently called West Coast jazz became popular with both critics and serious jazz fans. It also appealed to many casual listeners, some as attracted to the provocative album cover art as they were to the music. However, by the mid-sixties when jazz was dominated of the Avant-garde or New Thing, this variation on modern jazz was discredited and frequently forgotten. This study examines the music produced by Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars at The Lighthouse nightclub in Hermosa Beach, California between 1952 and 1959 and its relationship to music recorded by New York-based groups during the same period. The Lighthouse provided a stable working environment for jazz musicians with few, if any, commercial restraints. The band produced both live and studio recordings over a period of seven years. The recordings contain a variety of modern or post-swing approaches to jazz improvisation, composition, and arranging similar to those found on recordings produced in New York. The recordings do not support the view that the All-Stars were playing an identifiable West Coast or Cool style that was different from an East Coast or Hard Bop style favored by players based in New York. Recent interviews with members of the All-Stars and articles appearing in both jazz and general interest periodicals during the fifties also indicate that the All-Stars were not playing in a different style. They viewed their music as modern, just as their New York-based contemporaries did. Using the All-Stars as an example of modern jazz in the fifties, the frequently confusing jazz history narrative found in most textbooks can be reshaped, providing a more useful picture of the music during that decade.
Nesta obra de 1984, o autor tece uma narrativa que transita entre os estados de consciência normal e alterado. Dessa forma, tem um texto bem mais reflexivo que em outras obras, embora ainda focado na relação do autor com seu mestre Don Juan. Nesse contexto, apresenta com riqueza de detalhes a realidade que existe para além do nosso foco de consciência cotidiano.
The widespread Uralic family offers several advantages for tracing prehistory: a firm absolute chronological anchor point in an ancient contact episode with well-dated Indo-Iranian; other points of intersection or diagnostic non-intersection with early Indo-European (the Late Proto-Indo-European-speaking Yamnaya culture of the western steppe, the Afanasievo culture of the upper Yenisei, and the Fatyanovo culture of the middle Volga); lexical and morphological reconstruction sufficient to establish critical absences of sharings and contacts. We add information on climate, linguistic geography, typology, and cognate frequency distributions to reconstruct the Uralic origin and spread. We argue that the Uralic homeland was east of the Urals and initially out of contact with Indo-European. The spread was rapid and without widespread shared substratal effects. We reconstruct its cause as the interconnected reactions of early Uralic and Indo-European populations to a catastrophic climate c...
