Rose, Jeremy Philip. "A Deeper Shade of Blue: A Compositional Folio Informed by Ethnographic Research into the Sydney Jazz Scene." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/14901.
Full textAbstract:
This folio contains scores and audio recordings of five original compositions with critical commentary and ethnographic investigation. The research aims to test existing concepts of an Australian jazz identity and create new constructs for how music is created by a practicing jazz composer and performer. The research presents the results elicited from 11 interviews with selected Sydney jazz scene participants, providing an oral account of the way they create, conceive and perceive jazz music in Sydney and to compare evidence. In the five compositions I research various ways of integrating improvisation, non-Western and Australian influences into jazz and classical music contexts. I provide a case study of eclecticism and the role of improvisation in shaping programmatic goals with specific reference of my major work Iron in the Blood: Music Inspired by Robert Hughes’ The Fatal Shore for jazz orchestra and two narrators. The other works include River Meeting Suite for saxophone quartet, sitar, vocals, tabla and iphone, Oneirology for saxophone quartet and piano, Between Worlds for string quartet and saxophone and Border Control for flute, piccolo, bass clarinet, trumpet and vibraphone. This research addresses some of the deficiencies in the literature on Sydney jazz and creative music and illuminates the creative practices lying behind the creation of localised jazz identities through a case study of my composition portfolio and creative process. By expanding discussion beyond my own compositions, this project helps flesh out how “Australian” approaches to jazz composition, are realised across the Sydney scene and how these are distinct from other locales of jazz music production around the world. My perspective as a significant stakeholder within the jazz community, given that I am a performer, composer, performing artist, band manager and label director provides the research with a unique credibility and valuable insight into the field.

Full textAbstract:
This PhD research explores ways of adapting to the reportedly common creative, financial, and psychological challenges facing jazz musicians developing and operating in the late 2010s, an era in which the context surrounding jazz music is rapidly evolving. Motivated by the problem of resolving my own creative inertia and personal wellbeing dysfunctions, born of grappling with these issues as an Australian freelance bassist, this study investigates the theory that often-unquestioned assumptions underpinning practice are sedimented socially and that those based on historic, hegemonic, or habitual practices may no longer be universally appropriate. In doing so, it contributes to a growing and necessary dialogue about the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of practice.
With the aim of restructuring a more personally productive, sustainable, and meaningful approach to musicking, the primary research question asks: How can revising the musical and extra-musical assumptions of my jazz practice improve its processes and facilitate the generation of new creative work? The idiosyncratic and multifaceted methodology developed to investigate this question is itself an essential component of the research and a useful addition to research in the field. To uncover and revise tacit assumptions, the employed practice-led research methodology combines a suite of methods familiar to jazz practice and borrowed from qualitative research traditions with iterative creative cycles and several additional complementary theoretical concepts. The linchpin of this research strategy is a series of ten semi-structured interviews with bassists of a similar demographic (Sam Anning, Alex Boneham, Tom Botting, Anna Butterss, Karl Dunnicliff, David Groves, Noel Mason, Linda May Han Oh, Adam Spiegl, and Georgia Weber), which illuminate characteristics of contemporary practice and have provoked widespread changes to my own approach.
The theorising and testing of revised strategies led to new personal clarity about the purpose and imperatives of practice, enriched my musical understanding, provided insight into factors influencing self-doubt, established a revised compositional framework, and ultimately facilitated the creation of the studio album Phantoms (Nick Abbey, 2019). Treating these developments as a case study, the research extends the particulars of my practice to present transferrable implications for other practitioners and identifies avenues for future research; for instance, it questions assumptions around ‘freelance jazz musicianship’ in the ‘precarious gig economy’ and highlights the importance of ‘self-efficacy’ as a theoretical construct for jazz musicians. The research’s overarching recommendations are that practice assumptions be routinely elucidated and assessed; practitioners and practitioner-researchers strive towards a more uplifting and pluralistic climate of practice; and contemporary, holistic, and socially minded research continues to increase in prevalence.

Full textAbstract:
There has been insufficient academic research on the music of the Eastern Cape in general and Port Elizabeth and New Brighton in particular. This study, as part of the International Library of African Music (ILAM)lRed Location Museum Music History Project (ILAMIRLMHP) - an oral history intervention to save the music history of New Brighton from extinction through research and documentation of the memories of veteran musicians - is focused on jazz vocalists. The primary objective of my study is to investigate, critically analyze, interpret and document the career experiences of six New Brighton jazz vocalists in the context of performing in the Port Elizabeth music industry during the apartheid and the post-apartheid eras. The secondary objectives are to stimulate research interests in music students and ethnomusicologists to pursue research on the music of Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape and to inspire and motivate the vocalists to continue making music with renewed zeal. A qualitative research paradigm informed the field research necessary for this study. The fieldwork paved the way for an eclectic framework of analysis grounded in Pierre Bourdieu's notions of habitus, field and capital, examining the impact of the context on the vocalists' habitus which influenced how they viewed and interpreted their past and current experiences in the performance field. Data obtained through extensive interviewing of New Brighton's contemporary female vocalists and their male counterparts revealed that they have no opportunity to make commercial recordings. The musicians have to migrate to Johannesburg to have successful music careers, although personality politics, greed and lack of professionalism also work against the musicians' success. The data shows that New Brighton musicians, both male and female, do not have enough performance opportunities and there are fewer chances to tour now than there were from the 1960s through the 1980s. As in the apartheid era, female vocalists are still discriminated against in terms of pay, and men discriminate in how they pay other male musicians. Analysis of the vocalists' jazz compositions revealed that their song lyrics depict a bona fide urban African culture and reflect the emotional needs of the society in which they live.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the symbiotic relationship between composition and improvisation and the notion of improvisation itself. With a specific interest in developing, extending and experimenting with the relationship of improvisation within predetermined structures, the creative work component of this research involved composing six new works with varying approaches for The Andrea Keller Quartet and guest improvisers, for performance on a National Australian tour. This is documented in the CD recording Galumphing Round the Nation - Collaborations Tour 2009. The exegesis component is intended to run alongside the creative work and discusses the central issues surrounding improvisation in an ensemble context and the subject of composing for improvisers. Specifically, it questions the notion that when music emphasises a higher ratio of spontaneous to pre-determined elements, and is exposed to the many variables of a performance context, particularly through its incorporation of visitant improvisers, the resultant music should potentially be measurably altered with each performance. This practice-led research demonstrates the effect of concepts such as individuality, variability within context, and the interactive qualities of contemporary jazz ensemble music. Through the analysis and comparison of the treatment of the six pieces over thirteen performances with varying personnel, this exegesis proposes that, despite the expected potential for spontaneity in contemporary jazz music, the presence of established patterns, the desire for familiarity and the intuitive tendency towards accepted protocols ensure that the music which emerges is not as mutable as initially anticipated.

Full textAbstract:
Interactions in improvised music: people at play This project began as an open exploration of musical interactions in a trio in which I have played bass for many years. We gave three concerts for the project and I explored our interactions by talking with the pianist/bandleader and drummer after each concert. They described a broad range of interactions and explored a number of different conceptions of what entails a musical interaction. The musicians were keen to talk about the factors that motivate them to perform together, mainly the desire to play. Play, for them, is its own reward. They aim to collaborate in the moment of performance to create something fresh, rather than display their instrumental technique or present music that has been preconceived. An appreciation of this motivation is needed to understand their interactions in concert. Audience members were also interviewed after every performance. They each experienced the concerts differently, in a way that reflects their preoccupations and interests as much as it reflects the concert event. The research thus provides a view of individuals and their differences that contrasts with the body of music research focused on common experiences within particular musical cultures and the acquisition of the skills required to participate in those cultures. This practice-led research project was allowed to develop and find focus gradually in cycles of performances, interviews and analysis of interview transcripts, concurrent with an ongoing exploration of texts about doing research. Various interactions – during the performances and interviews, between the researcher and the interview transcripts and between the researcher and research texts – contributed to the project’s development. These interactions can be thought of as play between foreknowledge and the unknown. Accordingly, play as described by the musicians and as defined in hermeneutics, was actively pursued as a way of developing an appropriate methodology for the project.

Full textAbstract:
This study involves the research, analysis, and performance of existing arrangements of songs that have been played and recorded by jazz musicians, and are identifiable as pop songs of the last thirty years. This project will discuss the development of these songs as new repertoire in the jazz idiom. In particular it will examine transcriptions of arrangements by Herbie Hancock, Dianne Reeves, Brad Meldau, Charlie Hunter, Christian McBride, and Bob Belden. The analysis of these transcriptions will consider the techniques these musicians used in their arrangements including reharmonisation, melodic interpretation, rhythm, and restructuring of the form of the original song. Further, the techniques identified in the analyses will be applied in the creation of new arrangements of similar songs from that era for jazz ensemble of various sizes.

African American StudiesPh.D.
African music and its musicians from the Pharaonic periods to Mali to the Mississippi Delta to the South Bronx have contributed some of the most lasting and influential cultural creations known. The music and musicians of Africa have been studied as early as the early 18th century. As interest in African music grew so did the discipline of ethnomusicology. Ethnomusicology has sought to understand, interpret and catalog the various areas of African music. In the United States interest in the music as a continuation of African culture was also sought after and investigated as an important area of research. The main objective of this project is to help expand the methodological approaches in the study of African Diasporan musical cultures and their practitioners. The author undertook a critical examination of the previous works on the subject made by both Continental and Diasporan African scholars, in addition to fieldwork in the United States and Africa (Ghana). Through considering the work songs of Pharaonic Egypt, the cosmogram of the Bantu-Kongo and the life of John Coltrane in particular this proposed work articulates new methodological tools in the research of African music and musicians.

Šio darbo tikslas – sukurti tyrimais bei autoritetingų teoretikų įžvalgomis paremtą džiazinės vokalinės interpretacijos gebėjimų ugdymo teorinį modelį ir veiklos tyrimo metu patikrinti modelio efektyvumą. Pirmiausia buvo siekiama apžvelgti mokslinę literatūrą, susijusią su atlikimo interpretacija, išskirti atskirus interpretacijai reikalingus gebėjimus. Remiantis atlikta analize buvo sukurtas džiazinės vokalinės interpretacijos gebėjimų ugdymo teorinis modelis bei parengtos juo grįstos praktinės užduotys. Galiausiai, buvo patikrintas modelio pagrįstumas bei praktinių užduočių efektyvumas.
Veiklos tyrimas buvo atliekamas 2010 metų Sausio–kovo mėn. Džiazo ir bliuzo dainavimo studijoje pravesti 22 užsiėmimai. Tyrime dalyvavo 12 studijos narių. Modelio efektyvumas veiklos tyrimo metu ištirtas trianguliaciniu būdu: interviu (individualus giluminis interviu, grupinė diskusija ir nominalinės grupės metodas); stebėjimu (vedamas stebėjimo dienoraštis); mišraus tipo anketomis (atlikta studentų anketinė apklausa).
Pagrindinė atlikto tyrimo išvada yra ta, jog modelio panaudojimas buvo naudingas, ugdant tiriamųjų interpretacinius gebėjimus: patobulėjo studentų gebėjimas susikoncentruoti ties dainos turiniu, psichotechnikos valdymas, pasitikėjimas savimi. Surinkti duomenys parodė, jog pačios naudingiausios buvo užduotys, skirtos dainos teksto analizei. Be to, paaiškėjo, jog itin svarbios ir reikalingos buvo praktinės užduotys, ugdančios pasitikėjimą savimi... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]The purpose of this thesis was to create a research-based theoretical model for developing vocal jazz interpretation competencies and to examine its effectiveness through action research. The first aim was to write a literature review concerning music performance interpretation and its pedagogy. A subsequent aim was to define the specific competencies needed for vocal jazz interpretation. A practical application lesson was created for each of the determined competencies. Finally, the efficacy of the model and the effectiveness of the practical tasks were examined. The qualitative action research study was conducted from January to March, 2010 at The Jazz and Blues Vocal Studio in Kaunas during twenty-two group vocal sessions. The research data consisted of a triangulation of sources: interviews (in-depth interviews, collective discussions, nominal group technique); direct observation, during which a research diary was kept; and data gathered via a questionnaire. Twelve participants took part in the action research. The overall conclusion was that use of the model had a positive impact on the students’ vocal jazz interpretation competencies: the ability to concentrate on the content of the song, and the management of psycho-technique. Data analysis revealed that it is extremely important to boost students’ self-confidence, and improvisational theater games were judged to be the best way of achieving this goal.

Full textAbstract:
The study's objective is to relate the development of Pat Metheny's stylistic characteristics from his interpretation of jazz standards to their incorporation into his own compositions. Stylistic elements are established and a sample of his compositions are analysed to compare his solo style in standards with his compositional style. Metheny is a recognised innovator in technique and uses a wide range of instruments in the guitar family, both traditional and radically new. The use of such instruments frees Metheny from some restrictions and the possibility that this freedom is a major influence in his improvisation and composition is remarked on. There is scope for further work based on a wider sampling, and the methodology used in this study could probably be modified to focus on this objective.

This dissertation, titled Interactive Music Composition, is a practice based Ph.D. thesis in the field of Musicology. The purpose is to explore if and how one can compose computer based interactive music, that is musically satisfying for an interacting audience, consisting of both laymen and skilled musicians. The text describes the design and reflection in two interactive music installations: Do-Be-DJ, open-air installation in a public park, and, Mufi, with modular and moveable interface. Based on methods and perspectives in Musicology and Interaction Design, a composition model for interactive music is developed. The model investigates the experience dimensions listen, explore, compose and collaborate. It also investigates the design dimensions of interaction, narrative structure, composition rule and sound node. The conceptual approach is to apply improvisation and composition methods from jazz, pop and groove based music on interactive music. It also uses the concepts of openess in musical structures and interpretation, musical mediation of actions and meaning and everyday use of music, when composing interactive music. The dissertation contributes to an understanding of how to create composition techniques for interactive music, such as: Direct, varied and shifting response. It reflects on the change in meaning of the musicological terms composition, improvisation, musical work, listener, musician and audience. And on the interaction design terms interaction, gameplay, system and user. The term co-creator is used to describe an actively, interacting and collaborating person, to complement traditional terms like audience, performer and user.Ljudfiler till avhandlingens bilaga 1, http://musicalfieldsforever.com/dobedj_more.html; Videodokumentation av Do-Be-DJ, Interaktiv installation, http://musicalfieldsforever.com/dobedj_more.html; Videodokumentation av Mufi I och II, Interaktiv installation, http://musicalfieldsforever.com/mufi_more.html; Doktorandtjänsten finansierades av Interactive Institute; Musikinspelning finansierades av Framtidens Kultur genom Skiften på Malmö högskola

Many western countries organize arts and cultural festivals in order to enhance local areas’ and cities’ image while repelling the impact of globalization. Over the past decade, Taiwan’s cities and towns have coordinated the cultural policies to highlight local characteristics but political interests, economics and other considerations have influenced the develop of these dazzling festivals over these past ten years. Unfortunately, only a handful of these festivals in Taiwan are robust, that is having a clear focus; most festivals seem to be a mere formality that is having a distorted content. The author selected the Taichung Jazz Festival as a case to study because the researcher is a native of Taichung who loves of her community and has been an enthusiastic participant of the festival for many years. Additionally, the author believes that the Taichung Jazz Festival is a shining example of music festivals in Taiwan. This study will be undertaken through in-depth interviews with stakeholders of the Taichung Jazz Festival, and referenced to other cases: Chiayi International Band Festival and Edinburgh Festivals as well as supplemented by secondary data method to view the main elements of the Taichung Jazz Festival brand construction and marketing strategies in order to analyze and research the following: (A) To understand the Taichung Jazz Festival in the process of development planning and the actual implementation, including the support and obstacles encountered. (B) With a strict budget, how the organizers effectively allocate marketing communication tools, and integrate the resources of the stakeholders in order to achieve synergy. (C) In order to make the Taichung Jazz Festival even stronger, proposed developmental strategies and recommendations are offered based on the above analysis. The results show that: the Taichung Jazz Festival has steadily developed for nearly a decade because of the following reasons: (A) held at the same time and the same place for a nearly decade, equally accumulated cultural energy (B) great support from the government (C) the Taichung Jazz Festival has a strong festival theme, and international performing groups are readily receive recognition. However, the Taichung Jazz Festival still has weaknesses needing to overcome: (A) limited funding (B) lacking of media publicity (C) Jazz is a non-native cultural in Taiwan. In addition, the external environmental factors provide some opportunities and threats to the future development of the Taichung Jazz Festival, for example, more jazz festivals are held, so how to make the Taichung Jazz Festival stand out among the other festivals, as well as public sector should adjust policies in order to effect long-term planning of the Taichung Jazz Festival. The conclusion of the study is divided into two parts. First of all, the development proposals for the Taichung Jazz Festival SWOT analysis: (A) to develop festival tourism (B) to expand activity funds through corporate sponsorship and ticketing (C) to strengthen the festival publicity (D) adjust public sector policies (E) use music as a medium to achieve cross-regional exchanges (F) to strengthen the unique selling point of the Taichung Jazz Festival. The second part is to analyze and clarify the Taichung Jazz Festival in shaping the festival brand strategies to have the following five points: (A) to strengthen the festival theme (B) to improve international visibility (C) to expand the scale of the festival (D) to join the integrated marketing plan (E) to expand the target audience.

When the contemporary culture has been overwhelmed by the globalization, at the same time, self-approval of local culture emerges in abundance in each area. To demonstrate the nationality or the national characteristic, local culture make great strides forward to the world, producing the phenomenon called “loglobalization”. Also in Taiwan, audience were moved by locality fusion jazz which improvising with familiar music element, cultivating this new variety of music to be rich and colorful. This research take Yuwen Peng’s musical experience and the concert “Spins, Turns &; Loops” as an example, discussing the reserve value of the localization of fusion jazz in Taiwan by realize the creation background of fusion jazz and the found of “Sizhukong” jazz band. By filmed the Sizhukong concert in 2010, the research established a process of multimedia recording and musical program direct method. From the digital archives viewpoint, the charming performance of localization fusion jazz could be recaptured in the film, not only take as a study model of fusion compose, but also provides the firsthand material for the scholarly research., and it will extend its artistic value when to meet other proper applications or unexpected inspiration under different situation in the future. As mention above, the research devotes in deep thinking which between the method of program direct and the essence of music, to create a valuable multimedia recording which represent the core of performance and content in music.

“The City of Jazz,” broadening the global views of her citizens and introducing international performances to the city, is one of the key policies of Taichung City Government, with cultural activities, to market Taichung city. The policy can expand its linkage with the local instruments industry. Also “Taichung Jazz Festival” is expected to be the cultural assets. Whether a public issue like this is able to construct the civic identity is the core topic of the study. The research aims to explore “Taichung Jazz Festival”, by which further examines the correlation among event marketing, civic identity and city image. The research methods include literature review, questionnaire and quantitative analysis. The questionnaire respondents are citizens of Taichung City who are over sixteen years old. Of 476 valid questionnaires are analyzed by the researcher with descriptive statistics, factor analysis, independent sample test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation to acquire the research results. The results of this research are described as follows. For citizens of different backgrounds, the hypothesis that their “ Taichung city image” shows significant differences is partly valid, and so is that of their identification with “Taichung Jazz Festival” showing significant differences. Besides, part of the hypothesis that the understanding of her citizens for the event marketing of “Taichung Jazz Festival” shows significant differences is also valid. The more impressive the city image of “The City of Jazz” of her citizens is; the more identification with “Taichung Jazz Festival” is. Also, the more the citizens know about the event marketing for “Taichung Jazz Festival”; the more they identify with the event. Finally, there is a positive correlation between the event marketing of “Taichung Jazz Festival” and Taichung city image of “the City of Jazz.” In addition to elaborating the research purpose, the research also serves as one of the policy analyses for the prospective promotion of “Taichung Jazz Festival” as well.

Festival events are the cultural activities people feel the most about. Council for Cultural Affairs started assisting every city to hold “National Arts Festival” and”International Minor Performances” since 1994. Each city holds international cultural arts festival according to “One Festival Every Month” project promoted by Tourism Bureau on 2001, which enhanced every city to market local industries by giving festival activities, and developed different styles of events focus on local features. Taichung City, which sees “culture, economy and internationalism” as the goal of its city plan, choose “Jazz” to be the theme of the arts agenda, in hope to connect and interact with the whole world through Jazz Festival, which combines arts education with performance to wake up local jazz musicians and the prospective audience. However, jazz is not originated from Taichung, therefore it’s indeed a challenge to stimulate local tourism business by holding Taichung Jazz Festival at the same time infuse with international savor. The object of this research is to understand a festival event based on an unoriginal culture, and to achieve its final goal by holding the cultural events, which combine with local industries and develop local cultural features, in a long run, connect with the entire world. This research help understand the organizing process and current situation of Taichung Jazz Festival through the cross-integration of the in-depth interviews and secondary data analysis of qualitative studies. Also, the suggestions of future activities are further discussed. The research shows that Taichung Jazz Festival expands its scale year by year and gradually develops its own pattern. However, the arena seems to be unable to load current event-goers and massive traffic flow, and the linking with local industries is not strong enough. Besides, there is the deficiency of localization, as well as the expense resource and media promotion. One of the biggest problems of future Taichung Jazz Festival is the lack of sustainable development mechanism. Accordingly, the suggestions for the future development of Taichung Jazz Festival are: 1. to make a perfect arena operation plan, 2. to add more traits of the events to advertise the festival, 3. to expand characters of local cultural agenda, 4. to build sustainable development mechanism.

This study explored the relationship between jazz drum’s form elements and the form image. It is comprised of four parts. The first part is to investigate jazz drum users’ emphases on the designing elements of jazz drums, and to conclude the major factors to be considered. In the second part, new designs are made and combined to form test samples, according to the designing elements that jazz drum users considered most important, and then image test, explore the form image structure of jazz drums, and the corresponding relation between the form designing elements and the form image. In the three part, Further analyse the causal relation between the integrated ratings of “likeness, beauty” and the jazz drum image. In the four part, According to the analysis results in the previous stage, newly designed samples to fitting the integrated ratings of “likeness, beauty”, and then conducting image test once of validation, The major findings are as follows： (1) Manufacturers have different emphases on the form design of jazz drums from users. Manufacturers have their prime concern on branding and quick launch of new products. Therefore, they focus more on such factors as the shell color, and surface finishing of shell; users tend to rely on personal preference based on their perception of the products, and focus more on the surface finishing of metal accessories and surface finishing of shell. (2) Form image of jazz drums is constituted by three main factors, namely, classiness, liveliness and harmony. (3) Jazz drum’s shell with patterned design gives people a classy image, and on the contrary it gives a vulgar image; good brightness of the surface of jazz drum’s metal accessories gives people a livelier image, and on the contrary, it gives an old and dull image. On the other hand, when brightness of the surface finishing of the shell and metal accessories is similar, it gives people a harmonious image, and when the brightness differs too much, it gives an awkward image. (4) Jazz drum form that is liked should possess the “lively” and “valuable” image, and beautiful jazz drum form should possess the “valuable,” “lively” and “harmonious” image. (5) Jazz drums with the combination of “ordinary electroplate chrome finishing for the surface of metal accessories” and “different patterns on the surface of the shell” give a “lively,” “valuable” and “harmonious” image, and fulfill the consumers’ perception of being “liked” and “beautiful.” (6) When the surface finishing of metal accessories is too glaring, it does give a lively feeling, but cannot be easily mixed with the shell surface, and hence affect the overall harmony of the product. On the contrary, plain and elegant bright surface finishing can be easily mixed with the surface finishing of the shell.

abstract: Jazz continues, into its second century, as one of the most important musics taught in public middle and high schools. Even so, research related to how students learn, especially in their earliest interactions with jazz culture, is limited. Weaving together interviews and observations of junior and senior high school jazz players and teachers, private studio instructors, current university students majoring in jazz, and university and college jazz faculty, I developed a composite sketch of a secondary school student learning to play jazz. Using arts-based educational research methods, including the use of narrative inquiry and literary non-fiction, the status of current jazz education and the experiences by novice jazz learners is explored. What emerges is a complex story of students and teachers negotiating the landscape of jazz in and out of early twenty-first century public schools. Suggestions for enhancing jazz experiences for all stakeholders follow, focusing on access and the preparation of future jazz teachers.Dissertation/Thesis

Based on the conception of basic cognizance, this study explored the tourists’ experiences and impressions about the Taichung Jazz Festival from the point of activ-ities attendance, marketing strategy and marketing benefits, to find out the relation-ships among them. Upon this study, we may provide the useful relevant information to the organizers. Through the on-site questionary survey and random sampling, 400 pieces questionaries were distributed and 394 pieces effective questionaries were col-lected. Investigation data was analyzed by descriptive statistics to identify the responednts’ social status and their basic cognizance. Activity experience was distrib-uted to physical experience and environmental experience via reliability analysis and factor analysis. Marketing strategies were distributed to 5 aspects - promotion, activity benefit, price cost, event planning, and performing autivities. Marketing benefit was distributed to tourism image and revisit motivation. After that, ANOVA and regression model were used as the final proving methods to exam the hypotheses. The results show that the respondents’ perception of activity experience, market-ing strategy and marketing benefit were obviously affected by how long they have stayed, and how often they attended the activities during the festival. It is also signifi-cantly to extend the respondents’ activity experience and to emphasize the impression of activity benefit by attending other consumer activities beside the major activities. There are certain correlations among “festival planning” of city marketing strategy, activity experience and marketing benefit.

Audio files not uploaded onto institutional repository due to copyright restrictions: Hayes, T. & Clark, T. The New York sessions.Tubby (Edward Brian) Hayes; prodigious self taught multi-instrumentalist and virtuoso tenor saxophone player has been proclaimed by some to be the best saxophonist that Britain has ever produced: "Indisputably the most accomplished and characterful British jazzman of his generation." His career, although cut short (he died undergoing treatment for a heart condition in June 1973, aged 38) was perpetually intense, incredibly prolific, and non-stop from his debut at the age of fifteen until his premature death. Hayes was proficient on many instruments; all saxophones, clarinet, flute, violin and vibraphone as well as being an accomplished bandleader and arranger. However it was his virtuoso tenor saxophone playing that found him acclaim. Although well known in his time and widely renowned for his ability, Hayes until recently has been little studied. It is only in the last few years that many critics and students of jazz have attempted to gain an understanding of Hayes' improvisational concept, which has been both praised as genius and criticised as directionless: Tubby Hayes has often been lionized as the greatest saxophonist Britain ever produced. He is a fascinating but problematical player. Having put together a big, rumbustious tone and a delivery that features sixteenth notes spilling impetuously out of the horn, Hayes often left a solo full of brilliant loose ends and ingenious runs that led nowhere in particular... However, Hayes, his legacy, and his inimitable style of tenor saxophone playing would truly leave their mark on the British Jazz community for generations to come. Dave Gelly summed up Hayes by saying that Tubby "played Cockney tenor - garrulous, pugnacious, never at a loss for a word and completely unstoppable."

This research is focused on the usage and interpretation on the jazz style vibraphone literature in the modern percussion music works, and analyzes two important vibraphone works : Ney Rosauro’s Concerto for Vibraphone and Mark Glentworth’s Blues for Gilbert. The chapter one introduces the motivations, objectives, study scope, and methods of this research. The chapter two presents an introduction on the origin and development of vibraphone, continuing discussing the playing techniques of the instrument, and the background and evolution of the Jazz music style. At the end of the chapter, it is discussed the annotation about the Jazz style works in the modern vibraphone literature. The chapter three is discussed about what kinds of methods used in this study and explain the steps and the progress. The chapter four includes an analysis and interpretation of Ney Rosauro’s Concerto for Vibraphone and Mark Glentworth’s Blues for Gilbert. The chapter five concludes this research. In Ney Rosauro’s Concerto for Vibraphone, the composer used lots of Brazilian folk song and jazz harmony and rhythms as the motive to compose the music. In Mark Glentworth’s Blues for Gilbert, the composer used ‘cool jazz’ as the main method through out the whole music, combining with lots of Jazz harmony, swing pattern, and ornaments. After analysis these two works, it is discovered that because of the timbre of vibraphone is very unique and special, and the sound is very suitable for performing Jazz style music, modern composers like to use many Jazz patterns or Jazz harmonies into new vibraphone compositions. On the other hand, modern vibraphone music works not only consists of classical music compose techniques but also adds more different style and rhythms inside the music. On conclusion, the vibraphone literature nowadays becomes more and more important, and the instrument itself not only becomes a solo instrument but also takes more important role in the percussion family.
