Gary Burton – Next Generation
von 2004… hatte geguckt, was der Schlagzeuger von dem Houben & Son Album sonst noch so gemacht hatte…ach so, ich dachte, Du hörst Dich jetzt mal durchs Kenton-Burton-Kontinuum
an der Stelle gab es uebrigens ziemlichen Protest auf facebook ueber den Iverson Artikel, link, in den comments, vonwegen Ellington wurde in Berklee immer unterrichtet, North Texas und Berklee gehoeren nicht in die gleiche Schublade… und und und… insbesondere, Steve Armour schreibt
I remember Herb Pomeroy’s two-year-long arranging and composition curriculum built entirely around Duke Ellington’s arranging and composition techniques. I played in the Line Writing Band, which existed for the sole purpose of playing student compositions based on Ellington’s music. I remember playing a ballet suite Herb arranged based on Duke’s score for „Anatomy of a Murder.“ I remember the very first thing I played at Berklee being „Cottontail,“ and being required to learn at least a dozen Ellington tunes. I remember Gary Burton’s class emphasizing the great African-American lineage of harmonic innovations, including Ellington and Strayhorn, and onward to Trane and Miles. I learned about Duke and Pops at Berklee, not from Stanley Crouch or Wynton Marsalis. (I still don’t know anything about Stan Kenton, btw. And what does Gary Burton have to do with Kenton anyway? Is there a line from one to the other, beyond their ethnic identities?)
