Sent: zaterdag 27 januari 2001 0:57 Subject: evolutie.gif (didn't come from BTS) Dear Galen (and listmates), you wrote: : I have been trying to locate the originator of the evolutie.gif which has : been variously discussed/shared on the Trombone-L over the past couple : of years. Some of you thought it had come from BTS. As I already stated before, this particular picture originated from the website of last year's International Trombone Festival (ITF 2000) that was held in The Netherlands. Host Albert Zuijderduin told me that he himself found it somewhere on the internet but doesn't recall from where exactly. I tried to 'google' it myself, under the name 'evolutie.gif' and the original name 'develop.jpg' but without avail. One of the pictures of the same name that I found, however, I won't keep from you. You can find it at: but NO trombone content...

I think that it is appropriate this year, since Stanley Kubrick made it famous in his epic film "2001". The information is on my website: http://www.angelfire.com/id/muzician/coppelia.html Unfortunately, I don't have any sound clips available yet, but I hope to have a sample of the score for viewing, on my website soon.

Iâm going to address the sad part, here. I was hoping to find and buy some fabulous indigenous instrument, while I was there. I heard indigenous music, several times, when it was being played specifically for the tourists, but, other than that, it was nowhere to be found. I also found some indigenous instruments, but they were wall hangers, not the playable sort. Now Thailand is clearly a Buddhist country. You can best see it in their driving. There are sometimes lanes, painted on the road, but no one uses them. Instead, everyone just takes as much room on the road as they need and leaves the rest for others. If that sounds like New York City, itâs not. In Thailand, everyone cooperates, so that everyone can get where theyâre going, as easily as possible. Thereâs no anger; no aggression·even BMW drivers are courteous. In all, itâs a beautiful experience. But music is a very powerful media and in a country with almost no music of its own, that power is being wielded by capitalistic forces and in Western modes. You see it in ads and Thai ãMTVä. You hear it on the radio. Thereâs basically no indigenous music on the radio. Thailand is embracing the west with all its might. Now we trekked out to a little village, about 60 people who live by growing rice, in the rainy season, then garlic and then soybeans. Chickens wander everywhere. Pigs are fed shaved bamboo. Women also do weaving on back-strap looms. They have a bit of running water and, used sparingly, they have no need for a sewage system. They have everything they need. But feed them a rich dose of Western ãwantsä and it looks as if they have nothing. It was truly wonderful to eat our way through Thailand. I probably took 30 rolls of film. And it was sad to see how Thailand is being raped by capitalists. As an outsider, I can see the riches that Thais take for granted and I can imagine where Thailand will be when theyâve lost it.

It made me smile and perhaps you will too... -Doug Yeo ============= Presenting Ken Burns' 144-hour Extremely Important documentary, "Jazz." Fade up on a grainy old photograph of a man in a three-piece suit, holding a cornet. Or a bicycle horn, it's hard to tell. Narrator: Skunkbucket LeFunke was born in 1876 and died in 1901. No one who heard him is alive today. The grandchildren of the people who heard him are not alive today. The great-grandchildren of the people who heard him are not alive today. He was never recorded. Wynton Marsalis: I'll tell you what Skunkbucket LeFunke sounded like. He had this big rippling sound, and he always phrased off the beat, and he slurred his notes. And when the Creole bands were still playing De-bah-de-bah-ta-da-tah, he was already playing Bo-dap-da-lete-do-do-do-bah! He was just like gumbo, ahead of his time. Announcer: LeFunke was a cornet player, gambler, card shark, pool hustler, pimp, male prostitute, Kelly Girl, computer programmer, brain surgeon and he invented the internet. Stanley Crouch: When people listened to Skunkbucket LeFunke, they heard Do-do-dee-bwap-da-dee-dee-de-da-da-doop-doop-dap. And they knew even then how deeply profound that was. Announcer: It didn't take LeFunke long to advance the art of jazz past its humble beginnings in New Orleans whoredom with the addition of a bold and sassy beat. Wynton: Let me tell you about the Big Four. Before the Big Four, jazz drumming sounded like BOOM-chick-BOOM-chick-BOOM-chick. But now they had the Big Four, which was so powerful some said it felt like a Six. A few visiting musicians even swore they were in an Eight. Stanley: It was smooth and responsive, and there was no knocking and pinging, even on 87 octane. Wynton: Even on gumbo. Announcer: When any musician in the world heard Louis Armstrong for the first time, they gnawed their arm off with envy, then said the angels probably wanted to sound like Louis. When you consider a bunch of angels talking in gruff voices and singing "Hello Dolly," you realize what a stupid aspiration that is. Gary Giddy: Louis changed jazz because he was the only cat going Do-da-dep-do-wah-be-be, while everyone else was doing Do-de-dap-dit-dit-dee. Stanley: And that was very profound. Marsalis: Like gumbo. Stanley: Uh-huh. Matt Glaser: I always have this fantasy that when Louis performed in Belgium, Heisenberg was in the audience and he was blown away and that's where he got the idea for his Uncertainty Principle. Marsalis: Because the Uncertainty Principle, applied to jazz, means you never know if a cat is going to go Dap-da-de-do-ba-ta-bah or Dap-da-de-do-bip-de-beep. Wynton: Louis was the first one to realize that. Stanley: And that can be very profound. Stanley: I thought it was a box of chocolates... Announcer: The Savoy Ballroom brought people of all races, colors, and political persuasions together to get sweaty as Europe moved closer and closer to the brink of World War II. Savoy Dancer: We didn't care what color you were at the Savoy. We only cared if you were wearing deodorant. Stanley: Wynton always wears deodorant. Glaser: I'll bet Arthur Murray was on the dance floor and he was thinking about Louis and that's where he got the idea to open a bunch of dance schools. Stanley: And that was very profound. Giddy: Let's talk about Louis some more. We've wasted three minutes of this 57-part documentary not talking about Louis. Wynton: He was an angel, a genius, much better than Cats. Stanley: He invented the word "Cats." Wynton: He invented swing, he invented jazz, he invented the telephone, the automobile and the polio vaccine. Stanley: And the internet. Wynton: Very profound. Announcer: Louis Armstrong turned commercial in the 1930s and didn't make any more breakthrough contributions to jazz. But it's not PC to point that out, so we'll be showing him in every segment of this series to come, even if he's just doing the same things as the last time you saw him. Glaser: I'll bet Chuck Yeager was in the audience when Louis was hitting those high Cs at the Earle Theater in Philadelphia, and that's what made him decide to break the sound barrier. Stanley: And from there go to Pluto. Wynton: I'm going to make some gumbo- Stanley: BOOM-chick-BOOM-chick-BOOM-chick-ah! Giddy: Do-yap-do-wee-bah-scoot-scoot-dap-dap...That's what all the cats were saying back then. Announcer: In 1964, John Coltrane was at his peak, Eric Doolphy was in Europe, where he would eventually die, the Modern Jazz Quartet was making breakthrough recordings in the field of Third Stream Music, Miles Davis was breaking new barrier with his second great quintet, and Charlie Mingus was extending jazz composition to new levels of complexity. But we're going to talk about Louis singing "Hello Dolly" instead. Stanley: Louis went, Ba-ba-yaba-do-do-dee-da-bebin-doo-wap-deet-deet-do-da-da. Wynton: Sweets went, Scoop-doop-shalaba-yaba-mokey-hokey-bwap-bwap-tee-tee-dee. Giddy: I go, Da-da-shoobie-doobie-det-det-det-bap-bap-baaaaa... Announcer: The rest of the history of jazz will be shown in fast forward and will occupy exactly seven seconds. --There, that was it. Now here are some scenes from Ken Burns' next documentary, a 97-part epic about the Empire State Building, titled "The Empire State Building." "It is tall and majestic. It is America's building. It is the Empire State Building. Dozens of workers gave their lives in the construction of this building." Matt Glaser: I'll bet that they were thinking of Louis as they were falling to their deaths. I have this fantasy that his high notes inspired the immenseness of the Empire State Building. Wynton Marsalis: I'll bet most people who'd fall off the Empire State Building would go "Aaaaaahhhh!" But these cats went "Dee-dee-daba-da-da-bop-bop-de-dop-shewap-splat!" "That's next time on PBS!" ----__ListProc__NextPart____TROMBONE-L__digest_1936 Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2001 13:26:27 -0800 From: "Gary D. Maxwell" To: , "Trombones and related issues forum."

I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute I've watched. I've learned so much about many different aspects of jazz. In my opinion, and I realize that's what it is, Ken Burns has done an excellent job. Yes, maybe he could have mentioned this, or spent a little more time on that. Those are all opinions as well. What bothers me most, is that Ken Burns has probably spent years researching and putting this all together, and there's critics out there that rip it apart in 15 minutes. I think we should all be very thankful for having the opportunity to learn so much from a highly detailed and accurate source, and quit complaining that he didn't mention our favorite jazz (insert instrument here) player.
