He has come to use a notation system that combines phonetic symbols, numerals representing pitch and valve combinations and a means of indicating note durations through number of breaths. That these “phonetic” mouth positions, often of long duration, are physically unsustainable is the point. Mr. Wooley is fascinated by failure, by the sounds that emerge as he loses control."[11]

MISC / INFLUENCES

  • father + Ron Miles, Éliane Radigue, Annea Lockwood
"My dad, and the guys in his band, were my first heroes." ... "untaught in the jazz pedagogical sense, but had come up through Woody Herman and Stan Kenton bands" ... "Ron Miles, a Denver trumpet player who helped me see how I could craft an individual voice out of all the music around me, not just the jazz tradition. He also was a model of behaving ethically and being a human first and a trumpet player second. In 2015 I began working with French composer Éliane Radigue and, a few years later, with Annea Lockwood here in New York. Both of them opened up a world to me that held up the human interaction of collaboration as a first principle. I think my music changed the most radically, and became the most personal, after starting my relationships with them."[17]

Nate Wooley (1974) is an American composer and trumpeter known for his use of vocalizations, amplification and feedback, and extended techniques;[18][19] he is considered to be among "the New York avant-garde’s leading lights"[20] and has been called "one of America’s most exciting and inveterate sonic explorers".[5]

He has won critical acclaim for his live performances[21][11] and collaborated and performed with artists including Anthony Braxton, Éliane Radigue,[22] Ken Vandermark,[23] Fred Frith,[24] Evan Parker,[25] Yoshi Wada, Chris Corsano, C. Spencer Yeh, Peter Evans, Mary Halvorson,[26][12] John Zorn, Christian Wolff[27] Annea Lockwood,[19] Wadada Leo Smith, and many more.

His album Seven Storey Mountain VI (2020) was included in year-end lists including the NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll,[6] JazzTimes' Top New Jazz Releases,[7] and Bandcamp Daily's Best Contemporary Classical Albums, with critic Peter Margasak calling it "the most powerful work I heard in 2020".[8]

Wooley is founder of the For/With Festival[19] and the label Pleasure of the Text; he is also curator of the Database of Recorded American Music and editor-in-chief of the music journal Sound American.[5][18]

Early life and career

Wooley's father was a big band saxophonist, and Wooley began performing with him professionally at the age of 13;[28][29] he also studied piano from 10 to 18.[30]

Wooley studied jazz and classical trumpet at the University of Oregon and the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver, completing his BM in 1997 and his MM in 1999.[18] // He earned a BM in trumpet performance from the University of Oregon, graduating in 1997, and two years later he completed his MM at the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver.[18]

In 2001, he moved to New York City.[18]

In 2017, Wooley started the For/With Festival to commission and premiere new works for trumpet; the widely-praised event has featured pieces by Christian Wolff, Michael Pisaro, Ashley Fure, Annea Lockwood, Sarah Hennies, and Eva-Maria Houben.[27][19][31]

LITERARY INFLUENCES Literary references and influences can be seen throughout Wooley's work: on Columbia Icefield (2019), one track takes its title from a poem by Jim Harrison and another includes lines from John Berryman's collection The Dream Songs;[26] His ongoing Seven Storey Mountain project takes its title from the American Trappist monk Thomas Merton's 1948 autobiography The Seven Storey Mountain.[10]

  • Aram Saroyan (on Knknighgh);[32] Thomas Merton on Seven Storey Mountain;[33] Greek poem Argonautica;[34]

Pleasure of the Text + Sound American Wooley is curator of the Database of Recorded American Music (www.dramonline.org), a "streaming-service specializing in 20th century contemporary classical music from America",[5] and is also editor-in-chief of the database's affiliated journal, Sound American. The journal has been described as

"a genre-allergic exploration of the kind of radical US music-makers Wooley affectionately dubs “the American Weirdo”—from Charles Ives to John Cage to Christian Wolff to Anthony Braxton, with countless stops in between. Sixteen issues have been published since it began in 2012, with the focus on subjects like Cage, trumpeter Don Cherry, and the Deep Listening ethos of Pauline Oliveros. While it tackles some pretty heady music—the current issue is devoted to Braxton’s fascinating sound world,, and part of the issue included a downloadable album of musicians performing elements of the composer’s singular language—Wooley is adamant about making sure it’s useful to a wide audience."[5]

AWARDS

  • Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award (2016),[18]
  • with FCA grant: recording and production of [Syllables] (Pleasure Of The Text Records, 2017), "a solo work consisting of four CDs, a book of essays, and a book of scores that raises questions about the necessity of success and failure in instrumental technique"; "commissioned composer Christian Wolff's first piece for solo trumpet, For Trumpet Player (2017)"[18]

Controversies and misconduct

Over the years, the Los Angeles Police Department has been the subject of a number of scandals, police misconduct and other controversies. According to one study, during the lengthy tenure of William H. Parker as police chief (1950–1966), the LAPD was "outwardly racist",[1] and the tenure of police chief Daryl Gates (1978–1992) was marked by "scandalous racist violence" among the LAPD.[1] Following the Rampart Division CRASH scandal of the late 1990s and early 2000s, the United States Department of Justice entered into a consent decree with the LAPD regarding systemic civil rights violations and lack of accountability that stretched back decades, requiring major reforms.[2][3] The consent decree was lifted in 2013.[2] The executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California stated that the decree "accomplished its purpose by and large" and that the department "has made serious culture changes", but cautioned against backsliding and said there was more work to be done regarding racial disparities and treatment of the homeless.[2]

1920s–1940s

Louis Oaks, a chief of the LAPD in the early 1920s, was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.[4]

James E. Davis served two terms as LAPD police chief, heading the department from 1926 to 1929 and from 1933 to 1938.[5] During his first term as chief, Davis called for violence against criminals while leading a Prohibition vice squad, and the department was known for controversies including accusations of conspiracy, blackmail, and murder.[6] Davis also formed a Red Squad to combat labor unions; headed by Capt. William F. Hynes, the squad arrested hundreds participating in strikes.[7][8] In March 1928, Christine Collins reported her nine-year-old son, Walter, missing. Five months later a boy named Arthur Hutchins came forth claiming to be Walter; when Mrs. Collins told the police that the boy was not her son, she was committed to a mental institution under a Section 12 internment. It was later determined that Walter had fallen victim to a child rapist/murderer in the infamous Wineville Chicken Coop Murders, and Arthur Hutchins admitted that he had lied about his identity in order to meet his favorite actor, Tom Mix. The widely-publicized case was depicted in the 2008 film Changeling.

When Frank L. Shaw was elected mayor in 1933, he reappointed Davis as police chief, and the LAPD––already considered "nationally notorious" for police corruption––entered a new phase of widespread criminal activity.[9] In 1936, Davis sent members of the LAPD to California's state borders, along Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon, to institute checkpoints blocking the entry of migrants, or "okies".[10] The police began raids and mass arrests of populations including the homeless and disabled; those taken in by police were given the option of leaving California or serving a 180-day jail term.[10] The so-called "bum blockade" ended after significant negative publicity, including a suit filed by the ACLU in federal court.[11]

By 1937, the LAPD was leading a vast intelligence operation wiretapping politicians, judges, and federal agents. Some records of police surveillance were taken under subpoena after Harry Raymond, a former officer investigating corruption in the force, was the victim of a car bomb. During the trial that followed, LAPD captain Earl Kynette was found guilty of Raymond's attempted murder; Davis acknowledged that he had known Raymond was under police surveillance.[12]

In the late 1930s, the LAPD engaged in widespread racial profiling of Mexican Americans.[13] The LAPD and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department used the 1942 "Sleepy Lagoon murder" of José Gallardo Díaz to justify a coordinated crackdown: the police identified primarily-Mexican American communities, cordoned them off with blockades, and carried out mass searches and arrests.[13] The police detained hundreds of Mexican Americans before indicting 22 for murder.[13] Twelve of the defendants were charged with murder and incarcerated; all convictions were later overturned.[13] Members of the LAPD were accused of participating in anti-Mexican American violence during the Zoot Suit Riots that followed in 1943; despite the LAPD's insistence that the riots were caused by Mexican American crime, there was broad consensus that the riots were the result of racial discrimination.[14]

1950s–1960s

Parker, who served as chief of the LAPD from August 9, 1950, until his death on July 16, 1966,[15][16] was frequently criticized for racist remarks, his refusal to acknowledge police brutality, and his demands that the police not be subject to the same laws as citizens;[17] the last of these contributed to ongoing conflicts with the FBI, with the agency refusing to train LAPD officers until after Parker's death.[18] Parker adopted the rhetoric of Los Angeles as the "white spot" of America, first popularized by Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chandler, and explicitly set it against the "black picture" of the nation.[19][20] The Los Angeles City Council once confronted him with a recording in which he referred to Mexican Americans as not being far from "the wild tribes of Mexico";[21] in the 1960s, he claimed that "by 1970, 45% of the metropolitan area of Los Angeles will be Negro" and that the city should support a strong police force because "if you don't, come 1970, God help you"; he described Black participants in the 1965 Watts riots as acting like "monkeys in a zoo".[20] The Los Angeles Police Department was not integrated until the 1960s.[4]

Early in his tenure as police chief, Parker launched an extensive public relations campaign for the LAPD.[20] In the 1950s, he was a credited consultant for police procedural drama Dragnet, even offering the show departmental support in providing case examples and fact-checking;[22] he popularized the term "thin blue line" in both his speeches[23] and in a TV show he conceived and produced for Los Angeles NBC network KNBC;[20] he hired Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry as a speech writer;[24] and he introduced the department's first press office. These efforts were seen as tied to his efforts to curry public favor and extend the reach of officers of the LAPD.[20]

Bloody Christmas was the name given to the severe beating of seven civilians under LAPD custody on December 25, 1951. The attacks, which left five hispanic and two white young men with broken bones and ruptured organs, was only properly investigated after lobbying from the Mexican American community. The internal inquiry by chief Parker resulted in eight police officers being indicted for the assaults, 54 being transferred, and 39 suspended.[25]

In 1962, the controversial LAPD shooting of seven unarmed members of the Nation of Islam resulted in the death of Ronald Stokes, and led to protests of the LAPD led by Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam.[26]

1970s–1980s

In the 1970s and into the 1980s "biased policing", also known as racial profiling, was commonplace in the department.[27][28] This policing alienated the department from minority residents and gained the department a reputation of abuse of power and bias against minority residents.[27][28]

A major controversy erupted in 1979 over the shooting of Eula Love by two LAPD officers; no legal consequences befell the officers responsible.[29]

Early in his tenure as Chief of Police, Daryl Gates re-instituted the use of the chokehold (placing an arm or flashlight over someone's throat) in order to subdue suspects. In 1982, this technique was used and led to the death of James Mincey Jr. Following Mincey's death, the Police Commission barred the use of chokeholds by officers unless in a life-threatening situation.[30] An investigation found that sixteen people had died after being restrained by police chokeholds.[31]

In 1986, Officer Stephanie Lazarus killed her ex-boyfriend's new wife. Despite the victim's father's insistence that Lazarus should be a suspect in the homicide, she was not considered by the police and the case went cold. In the 2000s, detectives revisiting cold cases deduced that Stephanie was a suspect. DNA evidence led to her arrest and conviction.[32]

Also in 1986, the department purchased a 14-ton armored breaching vehicle, used to smash quickly through the walls of houses of suspects.[33] The ACLU questioned the constitutionality of the vehicle,[34] and the California Appellate Court later ruled the vehicle was unconstitutional, violating lawful search and seizure.[34]

In 1988, African-American baseball sportscaster and retired Baseball Hall of Fame player Joe Morgan was detained at Los Angeles International Airport by LAPD and L.A. Airport Police officers after being falsely identified as a drug dealer.[35] He was released when the LAPD realized their mistake. The city cleared the detective of wrongdoing, but Morgan subsequently filed a civil suit against both the LAPD and the city for the unlawful detention; the lawsuit was settled in 1993, and Morgan was awarded $800,000 by the Los Angeles City Council.[35]

On August 1, 1988, as part of Chief Gates' Operation Hammer directed against gangs, SWAT teams raided four apartments at 39th Street and Dalton Avenue. According to an investigation by the department's Internal Affairs, the team leader, Captain Thomas Elfmont, directed his men to "hit" the apartments "hard", to "level" them, and to leave them "uninhabitable". The police detained 37 people, making seven arrests. They found six ounces of marijuana and a small amount of cocaine. The seven were beaten by the police and at the police station forced to whistle the theme to the Andy Griffith Show. Those who refused to comply were beaten again. Nobody was charged with a crime. The city paid four million dollars to settle the matter.[36][37]

On September 4, 1988, LAPD officers raided the home of Roger Guydon looking for drugs. They found nothing. In 1991, Guydon won a $760,000 lawsuit against the city.[38]

See also: Christopher Commission

In April 1991, the Christopher Commission was formed in the wake of the Rodney King beating, by then-mayor of Los Angeles Tom Bradley. It was chaired by attorney Warren Christopher and was created to examine the structure and operation of the LAPD. The commission found that there were a significant number of LAPD officers who used excessive force and that the disciplinary structure was weak and ineffective.[39] Fewer than a third of the suggested reforms were put into place.[40]

In an effort to reduce drive-by shootings, LAPD initiated Operation Cul-de-Sac in 1991. This consisted of installing barriers on residential streets to block vehicle traffic. As a result, homicides and assaults were greatly reduced. The program ended after two years, with violent crime rates returning to their previous levels.[41]

On July 1, 1992, John Daniels Jr., 36, a tow truck driver, was fatally shot by LAPD Officer Douglas Iversen as he was driving away from a service station in South Central. Iversen was charged with second-degree murder, and two separate juries were deadlocked on the charge. The case was dismissed by a judge.[42] Daniels' family received a $1.2 million settlement after filing a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.[43]

The Los Angeles riots of 1992, also known as the Rodney King uprising or the Rodney King riots, began on April 29, 1992, when a jury acquitted four LAPD police officers accused in the videotaped beating of Rodney King following a high-speed car pursuit on March 3, 1991.[44] After seven days of jury deliberations, the jury acquitted all four officers of assault and acquitted three of the four of using excessive force. The evening after the verdict, thousands of people in the Los Angeles area rioted for over six days following the verdict. Widespread looting, assault, arson, and murder occurred, and property damages totaled one billion dollars. In all, 53 people died during the riots.[45]

Main article: Rampart scandal

On October 12, 1996, LAPD Officers Rafael Pérez and Nino Durden entered the apartment of Javier Ovando. They shot Ovando in the back, paralyzing him from the waist down. They then planted a gun on the unarmed Ovando to make it appear he had attacked them. The two officers then perjured themselves. Ovando was sentenced to 23 years in custody based on their testimony. Later, one of the officers admitted his crime. Ovando was released, and in 2000, was paid $15 million for his injuries and imprisonment. The officers' actions led to the exposure of the Rampart scandal.[46] By 2001, the resulting investigations would lead to more than 75 officers being investigated or charged, and over 100 criminal cases being overturned, due to perjury or other forms of misconduct, much based on the plea-bargain testimony of Perez.[46]

Following the Rampart scandal, the United States Department of Justice entered into a consent decree with the LAPD regarding systemic civil rights violations and lack of accountability that stretched back decades.[2][3] Many in the LAPD resisted federal oversight and proposed reforms, but entered into a consent decree when the DOJ threatened to sue the city and take complete control over the LAPD.[2] Mayor Richard J. Riordan and the Los Angeles city council agreed to the terms of the decree on November 2, 2000. The federal judge formally entered the decree into law on June 15, 2001. In order to promote civil rights integrity, the legally binding decree placed emphasis on several areas, including management and supervisory measures, revising critical incident procedures, documentation, investigation and review, revising the management of gang units, revising the management of confidential informants, program development for response to persons with mental illness, improving training, increased integrity audits, increasing the operations of the Police Commission and the Inspector General, and increasing community outreach and public information.[47]

Other provisions in the decree called for divisions to investigate all use of force (now known as Force Investigative Division) and conduct audits department-wide; the development of a risk management system; the creation of a field data capture system to track the race, ethnicity or national origin of the motorists and pedestrians stopped by the department; the creation of an Ethics Enforcement Section within the Internal Affairs Group; the transfer of investigative authority to Internal Affairs of all serious personnel complaint investigations; a nationwide study by an independent consultant on law enforcement dealing with the mentally ill, to help the department refine its own system; a study by an independent consultant of the department's training programs; and the creation of an informant manual and database.[47]

The Consent Decree Bureau was the LAPD bureau charged with overseeing this process. Until 2009, the commanding officer of the Consent Decree Bureau, a civilian appointed by the chief of police, was Police Administrator Gerald L. Chaleff.[47][48]

In 2006, the consent decree was extended by six years, as U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess found that the LAPD had not implemented the reforms that it had committed to.[2] The federal oversight of the LAPD was lifted in 2013.[2]

On July 10, 2005, while under the influence of alcohol and cocaine, Jose Pena took his 19-month-old daughter, Suzie, hostage in his home.[49] After police arrived, Pena threatened to kill her and himself after firing at others earlier. SWAT officers were called in.[49] After negotiations to try and release Pena's daughter were unsuccessful, four SWAT officers entered the home and, during a gunfight, both Mr. Pena and his infant daughter were shot and killed by SWAT team members.[50] One officer was shot and wounded by Pena.[49] Suzie Pena's death was the first death of a hostage ever in LAPD SWAT history and the LAPD was criticized for their actions. An independent board of inquiry later cleared the SWAT officers of any wrongdoing.[49] A judge later dismissed a lawsuit by the mother of Suzie Pena on the grounds that the officers acted reasonably in the case and no negligence was involved.[51]

Main article: 2007 MacArthur Park rallies

On May Day, 2007, immigrant rights groups held rallies in MacArthur Park in support of undocumented immigrants. The rallies were permitted and initially the protesters followed the terms of the permits but some of the protesters began blocking the street. After warnings by the LAPD, the protesters failed to disperse and the rally was declared an unlawful assembly.[52] The LAPD only announced the declaration of the unlawful assembly in English leading to confusion by some in the crowd who only spoke Spanish.[52] Police officers held a line to prevent protesters from entering the street and did not disperse the crowd until rocks, bottles, and other objects began to be thrown at the police.[53] The officers began slowly advancing and fired rubber bullets and used batons to disperse crowd members who refused to comply with police orders to leave the area.[53] Police were heavily criticized for firing rubber bullets at some journalists and hitting some with batons who did not disperse along with the crowds.[53] Seventeen officers and two sergeants of the metropolitan division were recommended for punishment by a department internal review for their actions in the incident.[54]

In 2008, Officer Russell Mecano offered to not arrest a woman in exchange for sex, and offered cash to another woman in exchange for sex. He was convicted and sentenced to more than eight years.[55]

2010s–2020s

On July 22, 2012, Alesia Thomas, an African American woman, died in the back of a police car after being kicked in the upper thigh, groin, and abdomen. Her cause of death was ruled "undetermined" and the autopsy report mentioned cocaine intoxication as a "major" contributing factor, but also indicated that the struggle with officers "could not be excluded" as a contributing factor to her death. It was later revealed that Thomas was also bipolar.[56] Later, LAPD officer Mary O'Callaghan was charged with assault over her actions in the case.[57] As a result of these events, on September 1, 2012, civil rights activists requested an emergency meeting with LAPD Chief Charlie Beck to review arrest and use-of-force policies.[58]

On August 18, 2012, Ronald Weekley Jr., a college student, was punched in the face while being arrested after being stopped for riding his skateboard on the wrong side of the street.[59]

On August 21, 2012, Michelle Jordan, a registered nurse, was pulled over for holding her cell phone while driving. She was thrown to the ground twice in the course of being arrested after getting out of the car and refusing to comply with an officer's command to get back in the vehicle.[59]

Main article: Christopher Dorner shootings and manhunt

On February 7, 2013, the LAPD was involved in what Chief Beck called "a case of mistaken identity" when, during the manhunt for murderer and fired LAPD officer, Christopher Dorner, the LAPD and the Torrance Police Department fired upon pickup trucks at two separate locations, believing them to be Dorner.[60] The first incident took place on the 19500 Block of Redbeam Avenue. LAPD officers fired numerous shots into the back of a blue pickup truck, allegedly without warning, and injured the two women inside. Twenty-five minutes later, the Torrance Police shot into the windshield of another pickup truck, narrowly missing the driver. In both cases the victims were not involved with the Dorner case.[61] The Dorner case involved allegations of impropriety by other LAPD officers, as Dorner alleged that he had been fired for reporting brutality by his training officer. The manhunt was triggered by Dorner's alleged attacks against LAPD and ex-LAPD personnel. In 2013, the city of Los Angeles agreed to pay the two female victims of the first incident $2.1 million each to settle the matter.[62] The city of Torrance agreed to pay the victim of the second incident $1.8 million.[63]

In May 2014, after much controversy in their own city, the Seattle Police Department transferred two Draganflyer X6 UAVs to the LAPD.[64] The LAPD stated that the only uses for the drones would be for narrow and prescribed circumstances such as hostage situations, but that they would not be put into use until the Board of Police Commissioners and the City Attorney crafted a policy for their use after the LA City Council ordered the policy creation.[65][66] The decision to use the drones gained significant opposition from community activists including the ACLU and new groups founded after the announcement about drone use including Stop LAPD Spying Coalition and the Drone-Free LAPD, No Drones, LA! activist groups who protested outside of city hall against the use of drones by the LAPD.[67]

On August 11, 2014, an African-American man named Ezell Ford was shot by two LAPD gang detectives after they made an investigative stop of Ford on the street. Ford was unarmed and the officers claimed that he got into a physical struggle with one of them and then reached for their gun, forcing them to fire on Ford, while some witnesses who claimed to have seen the incident alleged that there was no struggle.[68] The autopsy report was ordered to be released by Mayor Eric Garcetti before the end of 2014.[69]

On September 11, 2014, African-American actress Danièle Watts was temporarily detained by the LAPD when she and her boyfriend were in Studio City.[70] Watts accused the officers who stopped her of racially profiling her because she was African-American and her boyfriend was Caucasian, claiming that they treated her as if she was a "prostitute" and that the officers had been disrespectful to her because she was African-American.[70] LAPD Sergeant Jim Parker who was one of the two officers accused by Watts of misconduct, released a personal audio recording of the entire incident to TMZ.[71] The recording showed that police had received a 911 call about lewd acts in a car and the couple who were described to have committed the lewd acts fit Watts' and her boyfriend's description.[71] It also showed that when officers arrived on the scene, Watts' boyfriend cooperated with police but Watts refused to cooperate and identify herself, accused the officers of racism, and ignored officers requests and walked away from them leading to her being handcuffed and temporarily detained.[71] Following the release of the recording, local civil rights activists called for Watts to apologize to the LAPD for falsely accusing them of racial profiling but Watts refused.[72] The two officers were cleared of any wrongdoing by the department shortly after the release of the audio recordings.[73]

In October 2014, the LAPD Office of the Inspector General released a report that members of the department had been using department computers to falsely inflate the number of officers and patrol cars that were on duty at any given time in a method known as "ghost cars".[74] The report found that supervisors of various ranks would check officers into vacant assignments right before the department's computerized patrol software did its head count and then log the officers off when the count was done.[75] The report found that the practice occurred in at least five out of 21 patrol divisions, and the report also highlighted the causes including understaffing in the LAPD.[76]

In June 2020, following a campaign by a coalition of community groups including Black Lives Matter, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti announced LAPD budget cuts of $150 million.[77] Garcetti announced the funds would be redirected to community initiatives.[78] Senator Kamala Harris supported Garcetti's decision to cut the LAPD's budget.[79]

In 2020, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced that six LAPD officers had been charged with conspiracy and falsifying information in a false gang labeling scandal,[80][81] with an additional 18 officers under investigation.[82] The discovery of false accusations led to the review of hundreds of cases and the dismissal of a number of felony charges dating back to 2016.[83]

On February 13, 2021, the LAPD announced in a series of tweets it was launching an internal investigation into the Harbor Division, after their employees allegedly passed around a Valentine's Day-themed e-card depicting George Floyd with the caption "You take my breath away", which made reference to Floyd's murder. The LAPD said it "will have zero tolerance for this type of behavior".[84]

In September 2021, The Guardian reported that LAPD officers had been instructed by Chief Michel Moore to collect social media account information from all citizens they interview, whether or not they have been accused of committing a crime. Further, officers were asked to collect social security numbers and instructed to tell individuals that they "must be provided" under federal law, although it is unclear if this is true. In a response for comment, the LAPD stated that the field interview policy was "being updated".[85]

[edit]
braxton: currently cut

note: this is material i've cut from (& not yet confirmed/rewritten for) the Anthony Braxton article that seems to be true &/or potentially relevant; not including false/vague/irrelevant cuts or material that's been rewritten. i'm doing an overhaul & in order to get down template removed anything that was plagiarized & most that lacked sources. // priority for adding refs = TITLES; i've lightly-edited & left the copy in-article for relevance, but it lacks sources & needs fact-checking. [a source[1] (formula titles, code, + 47 for vocational school relevance)]

  • Wesleyan // He taught music composition and music history, with a concentration on the avant-garde, as well as leading ensembles in performances of his compositions.
  • Kelvin Compositions (?) // In the Kelvin compositions, "Braxton replaces chord changes with complex, rhythmic patterns which, in turn, orient the character and phrasing of the improvisations."[3]
  • reception / classification // At AllMusic, Chris Kelsey wrote that Braxton's approach to music is experimental and theoretical and shares characteristics with 20th century classical music and composers such as John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis said Braxton's music isn't jazz.[citation needed] Kelsey called it "art music".[4] Braxton called it "creative music".[5][6] He has said that he is not a jazz musician. But he has also said, "even though I have been saying I'm not a jazz musician for the last 25 years; in the final analysis, an African-American with a saxophone? Ahh, he's jazz!"[7]
  • Ghost Trance Music (direct quote from source): "One can think of GTM as a musical super-highway — a META-ROAD — designed to put the player in the driver's seat, drawing his or her intentions into the navigation of the performance, determining the structure of the performance itself.”[8]
  • Echo, Echo Mirror House Musics // Braxton wrote Echo in 2007 and performed it in 2009 at Wesleyan University where he was a teacher. During the performance every musician in an ensemble of six to twenty people held an iPod that contained Braxton's discography. All of them hit play on their iPods as the performance began to broadcast old works into the live performance.[9][10]
  • performance / live recording (not *final* GTM performance, but possibly significant?) // Many of the earliest Ghost Trance recordings were released on his Braxton House label. His final Ghost Trance compositions were performed with a "12+1tet" at Iridium club in New York City in 2006. The four-night residency was recorded and released in 2007 by Firehouse 12.
  • performance / live recording // He toured in France, and some concerts were recorded, such as a performance in Châtellerault on March 11, 1972.[11]

anthony braxton scraaaaaatch

[edit]

chunk o'scratch → template clearing + majority rewrite of Anthony Braxton article

braxton scraaaaaatch
Current overview + areas to expand

TO REVIEW: Magicpiano's "What is a good composer article?"

(from my own progress notes on Braxton talk page) // Organization is somewhat improved, but the career section badly needs subheadings for significant works & developments (most notably, I think, his signing to Arista Records); more broadly, the overview of his projects & recordings is mostly just lists of personnel rather than a big-picture overview of how his work, reception, & collaborations changed over time. I'm going roughly by the Wikiproject Musicians article guidelines, which note that "usually significant works are dealt with as a sub-section of the Career/History section, so they remain in chronological order"; this is currently (30 July 2021) a bit muddled, but I do think the compositional systems should probably stay in a separate section (though it needs work).

  • Early life // siblings; cousin who introduced him to the AACM, CORE, etc.
  • Education and military service // Wilson Jr College (meeting Roscoe Mitchell, Jack DeJohnette, et al.); Fifth Army Band (discovered Arnold Schoenberg, played clarinet & alto, cont'd lessons w/ Gell); Eighth Army Band, incl. recordings off-base in Seoul
  • Early career (1965–1973) // 1965 return to Chicago + intro to the AACM seems like a defining year; also incl. 1967 origins of Creative Construction Company, 1968 debut, 1969 recording of For Alto & time in Paris with CCC, post-Paris crashing w/ Ornette Coleman + chess hustling, 1970 joining Circle, 1971 *release* of For Alto (there seems to be a lot of confusion about this release date…)

3 compositions + for alto

Braxton has released hundreds of recordings and compositions since For Alto's recording in 1969 (and subsequent release on Delmark Records in 1971), and he has become even more explicit about the irony of naming his debut as if it comprised works within a singular "jazz": many parts were independently composed by "collage" techniques; the track "titles" are graphics and their formulaic abbreviations (e.g., "N-M488-44M-Z)

philosophies of music, language music, notation, &c

diverse compositional methods and cross-genre body of work

Braxton has repeatedly rejected the dichotomy of American jazz (as marked by improvisation) and European contemporary classical music (as the realm of composition), though his music is often located by those coordinates.[1] He instead identifies as a "trans-idiomatic" composer[4][5]...

...and has developed a philosophy of "world creativity" and African, trans-African, trans-European, and Asian "vibrational dynamics" in his Tri-Axium Writings.[6]

...who works with "notation as practiced in black improvised creativity", where it functions "as both a recall-factor as well as a generating factor".[7]

Notation as practiced in black improvised creativity is not viewed as a factor that only involves the duplication of a given piece of music––and as such an end in itself. Rather this consideration has been utilized as both a recall-factor as well as a generating factor to establish improvisational co-ordinates. In this context notation is utilized as a ritual consideration and this difference is important for what it signifies about extended functionalism ... Notation in this context invariably becomes a stabilizing factor that functions with the total scheme of the music rather than a dominant factor at the expense of the music.
— Anthony Braxton, "T-a W 3, 35-36"[8]

// "world creativity" // Braxton has also discussed his work through lenses such as Japanese painting // "African/trans-African vibrational dynamics, as well as corresponding to the greater implications of the trans-European and Asian vibrational dynamics" // 9 Compositions + Ghost Dance/Trance Music, indigenous ritual, "The Ghost Dance music, when it was put together, that came about in a time after the American Indian had been decimated, 98 percent of their culture destroyed..."

// the relationship of chess to music: "it's the movement of forces in space" (from Forces in Motion)

A prolific composer with a vast body of cross-genre work, the MacArthur Fellow[1] and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master has since released hundreds of recordings and compositions, including music guided by graphic scores and mathematical equations; his many collage works, some including stylistic techniques associated with gospel and country music;[9] the first six of the twelve-opera series he calls the Trillium Opera Complex; Echo Echo Mirror House Music, in which musicians "play" iPods containing the bulk of Braxton's oeuvre;[10] a composition "for 100 Tubas";[11] collaborations with artists working in avant-rock music;[12] and what Rolling Stone calls "a vast and complex multimedia universe that at this point can only really be classified as Braxtonia".[12]

Background / Early life & education

2012 All About Jazz Interview: Tyshawn Sorey: Composite Reality

  • Sorey has, to date [26 June 2012], composed 160 works and is now private instructor of composition and improvisation at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
  • When Sorey was about eight, he started to take trombone lessons, which became one of the first instruments he gained proficiency in. "This guy Fields Howard was the first to show me the ropes, which ultimately led me to become a student of the Newark Community School of the Arts. That wasn't too far where I was going to school at the time. I was there on scholarship and I got mostly classical lessons, just basic trombone lessons and learning how to read music."
  • Sorey's first shot at the drum set came by way of Newark musician and educator Michael Cupolo. "I was around 13 or 14"
  • "[Cupolo] showed me the Charlie Parker Omnibook, where I first learned "Ornithology," which was the first tune I really learned how to improvise on."
  • By 1999, Sorey had gained considerable experience learning the ins and outs of jazz drumming, participating in youth jazz programs and studying with figures like Kenny Washington and Billy Hart.
  • at William Paterson University [he] missed the initial deadline for the jazz track. He decided to apply the classical track on trombone ... Sorey eventually got into the jazz program
  • Sorey's early drum and percussion mentors at William Paterson // John Riley: African music and Indian music + the Royal Hartigan book of African rhythms + books on Hindustani and Carnatic music
  • Sorey's post-graduate career was filled with noteworthy engagements as a drummer, ranging from Dave Douglas's NOMAD ensemble to Vijay Iyer.
  • Sorey continued to flesh out the concept of the Oblique songbook with early inceptions of the group. ... "I didn't really think about creating a body of this music until I started playing it regularly in about 2005 at Zebulon [in Brooklyn]," says Sorey. "I had done it as a senior recital at WPUNJ in 2004, which went okay.
  • he visited Japan in 2006 ... "my interest in Zen Buddhism began" // "Permutations for Solo Piano" // "a 43-minute piano work that's an homage to Morton Feldman"

Lewis (2011) / Tyshawn Sorey: “The Will to Adorn,” based on an essay by Zora Neale Hurston where she talks about embellishment as crucial to black people’s self-expression, deals with this notion of adornment in a way where he is decorating decorations. Through the way the chords are fashioned and varied, Lewis’s music speaks to this concept in pretty much all of his work, whether it is electronic, electroacoustic or acoustic. / Rather than time, George does it with the concept of timbre, instrumental timbres and things like that, and how they can all group together to create this otherworldly soundscape.
