Jazz Quotations[edit]

♦ Quotations from Jazz musicians, composers and fans at APassionForJazz.net

♦ Jazz Quotations They claim to be the #1 Resource on the Web for Quotations and Sayings about jazz.

“Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new sense of hope or triumph. This is triumphant music. Modern Jazz has continued in this tradition, singing the songs of a more complicated urban existence. When life itself offers no order, the musician creates an order and meaning from the sounds of the earth which flow through his instrument. Everybody has the Blues. Everybody longs for meaning. Everybody needs to love and be loved. Everybody needs to clap hands and be happy. Everybody longs for faith. In music, especially this broad category called Jazz, there is a stepping stone toward all of these.” (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., opening speech at the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival) (bold and bold italic not in original)

Creativity[edit]

♦ David S. Rosen, Yongtaek Oh, Brian Erickson, Fengqing (Zoe) Zhang, Youngmoo E. Kim, and John Kounios, "Dual-process contributions to creativity in jazz improvisations: An SPM-EEG study," NeuroImage Volume 213, June 2020.

♦ Researchers at the Creativity Research Laboratory, Department of Psychology, Drexel University, USA 🇺🇸 found that amongst thirty-two improvising guitarists brain activities revealed the following:

• Neural and behavioral evidence for an expertise-dependent, dual-process model of creativity.

• Performance quality/creativity a function of right-hemispheric activity.

• Superior creative production is associated with hypofrontality and the inhibition of executive Type-2 processes.

“Abstract: Conflicting theories identify creativity either with frontal-lobe mediated (Type-2) executive control processes or (Type-1) associative processes that are disinhibited when executive control is relaxed. Musical (jazz) improvisation is an ecologically valid test-case to distinguish between these views because relatively slow, deliberate, executive-control processes should not dominate during high-quality, real-time improvisation. In the present study, jazz guitarists (n = 32) improvised to novel chord sequences while 64-channel EEGs were recorded. Jazz experts rated each improvisation for creativity, technical proficiency and aesthetic appeal. . . . Higher-quality improvisations were associated with predominantly posterior left-hemisphere activity; lower-quality improvisations were associated with right temporo-parietal and fronto-polar activity. However, after statistically controlling for experience (defined as the number of public performances previously given), performance quality was a function of right-hemisphere, largely right-frontal, activity. These results support the notion that superior creative production is associated with hypofrontality and right-hemisphere activity thereby supporting a dual-process model of creativity in which experience influences the balance between executive and associative processes. This study also highlights the idea that the functional neuroanatomy of creative production depends on whether creativity is defined in terms of the quality of products or the type of cognitive processes involved.”^[1] (bold not in original)

Personality[edit]

Researchers in the Department of Psychology, University of Graz, Austria 🇦🇹 and the Department of Instrumental and Vocal Pedagogy, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Austria compared the cCreativity and personality of classical, jazz, and folk musicians and found that:

• Jazz musicians show higher divergent thinking ability.

• Jazz musicians accomplish more creative musical activities and achievements.

• Classical musicians show a high amount of practice and win more competitions.

• Folk musicians are more extraverted and publish more musical productions.

“ABSTRACT: The music genre of jazz is commonly associated with creativity. However, this association has hardly been formally tested. Therefore, this study aimed at examining whether jazz musicians actually differ in creativity and personality from musicians of other music genres. We compared students of classical music, jazz music, and folk music with respect to their musical activities, psychometric creativity and different aspects of personality. In line with expectations, jazz musicians are more frequently engaged in extracurricular musical activities, and also complete a higher number of creative musical achievements. Additionally, jazz musicians show higher ideational creativity as measured by divergent thinking tasks, and tend to be more open to new experiences than classical musicians. This study provides first empirical evidence that jazz musicians show particularly high creativity with respect to domain-specific musical accomplishments but also in terms of domain-general indicators of divergent thinking ability that may be relevant for musical improvisation. The findings are further discussed with respect to differences in formal and informal learning approaches between music genres.”^[2] (bold not in original)

“Conroy's "Gestural Fiction: Dance" is a critical but generous discussion of Susan Langer's theory of dance as virtual spontaneous gesture in her Feeling and Form (1953). Conroy also introduced —— at least for me —— rewarding things to say about the multiplicity of dance performances and about the "complex imagined landscape" (p. 299) such a performance can create.”

“Both Van Camp and Renee Conroy have argued that the ontology of dance needs to be more reflective of and responsive to actual danceworld and artworld practice. . . . Conroy (in “The Beat Goes On: Reconsidering Dancework Identity”) has instead of a definition provided an argument for what she calls three “minimal desiderata” for an adequate account of dancework identity, two of which require that any theory be responsive to and applicable in danceworld practice, and one that requires that criteria of metaphysical adequacy be met.”

W. Norton, March 26, 2019.

“Examines key thinkers throughout history who shaped public perception of science and the role of authority. When does a scientific discovery become accepted fact? Who decides? And how should everyday citizens interact with the scientific process—“the workshop”? The book answers these questions by introducing ten of the world’s greatest thinkers and explaining how they shaped scientific progress. At a time when the Catholic Church assumed total authority, Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes were the first to articulate the ideas of scientific expertise, while writers such as Shelley and Comte questioned the scientific process itself. Centuries later, scholars such as Atatürk and Arendt examined the relationship between the scientific community and the public—especially in times of deep distrust in experts. An exploration of what it means to practice science for the common good and who can question expertise, this book helps readers understand how this current moment of great anti-science rhetoric came about and what can be done about it.”

ABSTRACT of “The Extended Body and the Aesthetics of Merleau-Ponty”: “An extended “restless” body was the center of perceptual and ontological importance for Merleau-Ponty — a source of insight into how persons navigate and understand the world. But he was sufficiently aware as well of the roles an extended body played in art. This paper considers two stages in Merleau-Ponty’s work, roughly corresponding to his early and late writings, where the boundary between body and world can be flexible and complex but where the body’s extension is artistically significant. After Fred Rush’s coinage of “prosthetic effect,” I utilize prosthesis metaphorically to illustrate the use of an extended body in the production and reception of art when the world demands an immediate response and the imposition of engagement and where the potential for aesthetic identification has greater explanatory power as a unit than as a body separate from that environment. The second use deals with Merleau-Ponty’s more difficult notions of flesh and chiasm to consider an intersecting world unfolding itself — reversing the direction of the usual dialogue between artist and a soliciting world, as Merleau-Ponty sees it. In the course of doing so, this essay includes a discussion of Paul Klee’s painting, The Ventriloquist in the Moors, Descartes on phantom limb pains and artistic identity. While technology has fostered digital devices, which appear as prostheses and form significant aspects of our culture, Merleau-Ponty had imagined our extended bodies in more ubiquitous and quotidian ways.”

ABSTRACT of “Taking Art Personally: “Austin, Performatives and Art": “This paper is an attempt to apply speech act theory to aesthetics. In particular, it purports to be a contribution to reception theory by drawing attention to certain similarities between the contextual structure of performatives and the structure of the reception of art. It hopes to locate the auditor or spectator of artworks in what J. L. Austin calls “the total context” to help explain how certain aspects of artworks can be taken personally, somehow being about and seemingly directed at “me.” It is one way the so-called paradox of fiction can be by-passed by showing how the emotive aspects of artworks are not primarily a matter of our caring about the fictional characters portrayed therein, but directly about members of the viewing or listening audience. Concentrating on the performatives of warnings and threats, this paper details the writings of Austin to help explain why some people can relate to characters or situations presented by art while others are barely moved.”

ABSTRACT of "In and Out of Movies: Incarnation and Personal Identity": “Fiction, particularly movies, enjoys the license to abandon philosophical rigor and play free and loose with issues somewhat related to the traditional personal identity concerns of philosophers. Double-named characters appear frequently in movies raising issues of double-identity to deepen the intrigue of their narratives. This paper explores the 1947 American film noir "Out of the Past," which depicts the double identity and subsequent incarnation/embodiment of its protagonist by his abandoned past as a private detective who has crossed his gangster employers. In addition, the essay reaches “outside” the film to discuss the use of incarnation in the application of such notions as star or role, by taking as an example, its star Robert Mitchum, which leads us to how forces largely independent of their wills, incarnate certain actors, setting them up outside their films for multiple identities.”

ABSTRACT of “Lightness and Fluidity: Remarks Concerning the Aesthetics of Elegance”: “Over the last century, elegance as a term has been conspicuously absent from discussions centred on both architecture and the philosophy of aesthetics. Elegance's time has, however, now come. David Goldblatt describes how the maturation of digital discourse has led to the onset of a new, multifaceted, sensual rationality that is evident in recent designs and constructed works.”

ABSTRACT of "The Dislocation of the Architectural Self": “Enjoying a mild rejuvenation on the contemporary American drug scene, our word ‘ecstacy,’ like the English words ‘derange’ and ‘delirium,’ has its history in spatial terms. The Greek ecstasis meaning to put outside, to put out of place, led to the notion of being besides oneself, of being transported. In moral theory (I have Kant in mind) the idea of acting against ourselves is often seen as imperative and the problem of distancing, if not removing ourselves from our passions and other inclinations, is compounded by our own questionable ability to recognize just when we have succeeded. In art, too, ecstasis has had its own place, especially as the self encounters itself as quotidian being. In this paper I will discuss what I believe is the role of ecstasis in recent architectural practice, specifically in the work of the American architect Peter Eisenman.”

Dr. Andrew Kania [edit]

Andrew Kania’s (b. 1975) principal research is in the philosophy of music, film, and literature. He is particularly interested in how the nature of different kinds of artistic entities (e.g. musical works, performances, and recordings; or narrative literature and film) affects our appreciation of them.

He has a subsidiary interest in the philosophy of sex, gender, and sexuality and is also a faculty member in Women and Gender Studies at Trinity University.

He has written extensively on aesthetics and musical ontology, and you can see a list with abstracts of many of Dr. Kania's publications at Philpapers or read his articles at Trinity University's Digital Commons.

Dr. Eric Lewis[edit]

"There is a curious yet enormously fruitful duality in the way that improvisation plays on our expectations and perspectives." Tracey Nicholls, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Lewis University

"Improvisation implies a deep connection between the personal and the communal, self and world. A “good” improviser successfully navigates musical and institutional boundaries and the desire for self-expression, pleasing not only herself but the listener as well." Rob Wallace, improvising drummer

On Saturday afternoon the conference's final speaker is philosopher Eric Lewis from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, CANADA. He presents "My Favorite Things: Performance, Paraphrase and Representation," a chapter from his forthcoming book titled Intents and Purposes: Afrological Aesthetics and Improvisation. This chapter argues that the best model for capturing the relationship of performances to works of music with improvised performances is not any sort of type/token model, but one should instead draw upon the visual arts and theories of representation. John Coltrane is not instancing "My Favourite Things," in his song of the same name, rather he is representing it.

EDUCATION:

Dr. Lewis earned honors B.A.'s in the history of philosophy and classical Greek literature at Cornell University.

Ph.D. in the history of philosophy at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

POSITION:

Associate Professor of Philosophy at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, CANADA.

Director of the Institute for the Public Life of Arts and Ideas (IPLAI)

McGill Site coordinator for International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI)

Former McGill site coordinator for Improvisation, Community and Social Practice (ICASP), a major international research project with primary funding from the SSHRC MCRI program

CURRENT RESEARCH & ACTIVITY:

Current research focuses on the philosophy of improvised music.

Presently completing two book projects:
— one on the ontology of improvised music titled Intents and Purposes: Afrological Aesthetics and Improvisation.
— a second edited collection: Improvisation and Social Aesthetics (with Georgina Born and William Straw), Duke University Press, 2017.

Proactively involved in the creation and curation of improvised art exhibits.

An active improvising musician on trumpet in Montreal's flourishing improvised music scene.

Broader research interests include the philosophy of music more generally, aesthetics, philosophy of copyright, and a host of interdisciplinary approaches to art, culture and society. Dr. Lewis’s research focuses on the intersection of the aesthetics, metaphysics and ethics of improvised music.

An exciting new publication for Dr. Odin is his 2016 <a href="https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781498514774/Tragic-Beauty-in-Whitehead-and-Japanese-Aesthetics">Tragic Beauty in Whitehead and Japanese Aesthetics</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Whitehead-Japanese-Aesthetics-Contemporary-Studies-ebook/dp/B01FA0AWR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543336376&sr=8-1&keywords=steve+odin+tragic+beauty"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1259" src="" alt="Tragic Beauty in Whitehead and Japanese Aesthetics book cover" width="300" height="300" /></a>

that explains how the traditional Japanese Buddhist's views on beauty and evanescent beauty relates to Alfred North Whitehead's process aesthetics.

The book takes into account how best to think about Whitehead's axiological process metaphysics, including his theory of values, concept of aesthetic experience, and doctrine of beauty, but especially focuses on two of Whitehead’s aesthetic categories, the penumbral beauty of darkness and the tragic beauty of perishability, and shows parallel relations in the two Japanese aesthetic categories of yûgen and aware.

Dr. Odin shows how both Alfred North Whitehead and the Buddhist Japanese tradition have articulated a poetics of evanescence that celebrates the transience of aesthetic experience and the ephemerality of beauty. Finally it is argued that both Whitehead and a Buddhist Japanese traditional aesthetics develop an aesthetics of beauty as perishability culminating in a religio-aesthetic vision of tragic beauty and its reconciliation in the supreme ecstasy of peace or nirvana.

The book is published by and available from <a href="https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781498514774/Tragic-Beauty-in-Whitehead-and-Japanese-Aesthetics#"> Roman and Littlefield.</a>

Co-Director JPIC 2017 & 2019

Philosopher

Professional jazz keyboardist

Chair of Philosophy and Humanities at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, CA

One of the three co-chairs for the Jazz & Philosophy Intermodal Conference for 2017, Dr. Charles Otwell spent many years working as a professional musician (keyboards), touring ten years as musical director with Latin Jazz master conguero Poncho Sanchez, and on numerous recordings with Poncho, including many Otwell compositions and arrangements. He has played professionally with Dizzy Gillespie, Stanley Turrentine, Carlos Valdez, Dave Pike, Melissa Manchester, and Bobby Hatfield (of the Righteous Brothers).

In 2006, he received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California at Irvine, working with major advisor, David W. Smith, on a dissertation defending an Existentialist model of human action against neo-Humean and neo-Kantian models.

Dr. Otwell has taught the history of jazz for over a decade at several Southern California colleges, as well as teaching philosophy at Rancho Santiago college, Long Beach City College, and Irvine Valley college. Currently, he is chair of Philosophy at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, CA where he explores issues in the ontology and epistemology of jazz with his collaborator Dr. David C. Ring.

Partially inspired by Deleuze and Guattari's A Thousand Plateaus and influenced by their notions on nomadology, as well as medieval history and major historical sea-battles, Dr. Otwell is writing a science-fiction novel incorporating these elements.

INTEREST IN PHILOSOPHY OF JAZZ:

During his sabbatical at Orange Coast College in 2009, Dr. Ring began working in the philosophy of jazz. That work led to the eventual development of a new editable Mediawiki website devoted to the subject: PhilosophyOfJazz.net or PoJ.fm begun in March, 2016, with the help of web designer Glenn Zucman, of gzdesign.

Working with long time collaborator, Dr. Charles Otwell, Ring and Otwell gave a talk at Northern Arizona University on the complexity of defining jazz using a Galactic model on March 31, 2016. This talk and questions and answers can be viewed here: PoJ.fm videos, as well as a film made on the same subject matter during Dr. Ring's sabbatical with the help of videographer and editor Kyle Trulin, and Orange Coast College faculty and jazz musicians, Charles Otwell, Joe Poshek (pictured left above), Dave Murdy, and Dana Wheaton (pictured right above).

In October of 2008 Scarecrow Press published, <a href="http://rowman.com/ISBN/9780810861435/The-Contradictions-of-Jazz# target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Contradictions of Jazz,</a>

Here's a description of the book by the publisher, <a href="https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780810861435/The-Contradictions-of-Jazz#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scarecrow Press</a>:

“In The Contradictions of Jazz, Paul Rinzler takes a new approach to jazz aesthetics and theory by exploring four pairs of opposites present in jazz: individualism and interconnectedness, assertion and openness, freedom and responsibility, and creativity and tradition. By themselves, these eight values speak volumes about the meaning of jazz and its significance. Understanding how these opposites coexist in jazz leads to an exploration of the connections linking jazz with the experiential and existential, which contrast with the connections between composition and science. Rinzler explains the various concepts, including either/or and dialectic thinking, and then examines the pairs of opposites individually, describing their position and presence in jazz. He then demonstrates how the larger meaning of these contradictory opposites depends on ideas from the philosophies of phenomenology and existentialism. Rinzler considers the opposites inherent in the product and process of jazz, as well as mistakes and the challenge of perfection, presenting these values in light of the contradictions inherent in jazz.”

The book received <a href="https://jazztimes.com/reviews/books/the-contradictions-of-jazz-by-paul-rinzler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">excellent reviews</a>.

He was the accompanist for a jazz choir recording (“Hot IV”) that was nominated for a Grammy award.

On his jazz piano trio CD, <a href="https://www.allmusic.com/album/active-listening-mw0000065285" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Active Listening"</a> (Sea Breeze Jazz 3039), Cadence magazine

noted “impressive trio interplay” and “rich dialogues” while <a href="https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/paul-rinzler-trio-active-listening/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JazzTimes reviewer David Franklin</a> finds that:

“"Active Listening" offers a lesson in the kind of spontaneous trio interaction pioneered by the Bill Evans trios. . . . (Rinzler's trio) demonstrates how an improvised piece can start with a simple idea (a chord progression or germ of a melody, for instance) and gradually take form to emerge as a unified whole through the interactive contributions of each group member. Hence the album’s title. The end product in this case is satisfying, relatively mainstream music in a variety of tempos. All works are original and credited to the leader, although it’s evident that most are the spontaneous creations of the trio.” (bold not in original)

“Scholarship on the interactive properties of jazz improvisation has been rather scant, save the influential work of three scholars : Paul Rinzler, Paul Berliner, and Ingrid Monson. Paul Rinzler’s 1988 article “Preliminary Thoughts on Analyzing Musical Interaction Among Jazz Performers” was among the first to address the issue. Dismayed by trends at the time that favored computational and scientific models for musical analysis, Rinzler feared that such analytics neglected the most crucial human process in jazz performance – musician interaction [2]. In response, he delineates the “rules of the game” or the presupposed functions of each instrument in the ensemble and how jazz musicians negotiate these individual roles with varying degrees of creativity and aesthetic sensibility while satisfying more general positions as accompanist or soloist. Performers are then analyzed according to measurable amounts of creativity and interaction as present in a group performances in relation to the game rules, including call and response, fills, accentuation of phrase and large form structures, common motives, and rhythm sections responses to the “peaks” of the soloist.” (bold not in original)

Dr. Martin E. Rosenberg [edit]

"Don't play the music, let the music play you."
Sonny Rollins (b. 1930), jazz saxophonist

At JPIC 2017, Dr. Martin E. Rosenberg, Research Associate with The New Centre for Research and Practice, spoke on “Between Memory and Creativity: The Neuroscience of Time Cognition in Jazz Improvisation."

For JPIC 2019 Dr. Rosenberg investigates the question “Is It Possible To Be Both Embodied and Distributed at the Same Time?: Critiquing the Extended Mind Thesis through the Neuroscience of Jazz Improvisation.”

EDUCATION:

In 1990 Dr. Rosenberg earned his Ph.D. in English from the University of Michigan with his dissertation "Being and Becoming: Physics, Hegemony, Art and the Nomad in the Works of Ezra Pound, Marcel Duchamp, Samuel Beckett, John Cage and Thomas Pynchon.” This was a first look at the cultural work of the distinction between time-reversible and time-irreversible models from the philosophy of science in aesthetics and political philosophy, and across the arts.

Martin E. Rosenberg's education

TEACHING & SCHOLARSHIP:

Dr. Rosenberg has taught as a graduate assistant at the University of Michigan, a Faculty Associate at Arizona State University, visiting Assistant Professorships at the University of Kentucky and Texas A&M University, before taking tenure-track jobs, first at Eastern Kentucky University, and then at Kettering University.

Since 2002, he has been an independent scholar in Pittsburgh, where his wife Elizabeth Mazur has tenure at Penn State University--Greater Allegheny. He remains active, recently holding a fellowship in Art and Cognition through The Center For Transformative Media, Parsons--The New School of Design (2013–14); serving as Graduate Faculty at the Global Center for Advanced Studies, 2014–15, where he team-taught a colloquia on philosophy, politics and the future of democracy with Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, among others; and The New Centre for Research and Practice joining in 2015, where he gave a seminar on the aesthetic and political implications of the processes of cognition during jazz improvisation, and plans to offer in the future courses on philosophy and aesthetics, as well as on theories of metaphor.

Dr. Rosenberg was co-organiser of AG3-Online, and specializes in the cultural implications of science and technology. He has focused mainly on the history of "emergence" in science, philosophy and the arts: Poincare, Bergson and Duchamp; Pound, and the epistemological foundations of fascism in reversible models of time; the novels of Thomas Pynchon, the Nobel work of Ilya Prigogine in chemistry and physics, as well as the cognitive science of Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela and Edwin Hutchins, and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. He has authored numerous articles on Deleuze.

CURRENT RESEARCH:

Dr. Rosenberg researches Science, Technology and Culture, focusing mainly on the cultural history of the scientific concept of "emergence" or "self-organization." Early on, he addressed the Nobel work of Ilya Prigogine in chemistry and physics, interviewing him on several occasions; as well as on the neurobiology, cybernetics and cognitive science of Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, as well as the anthropology and cognitive science of Edwin Hutchins.

He has used this research to focus especially on concepts from physics and cognitive science applied to the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, and on the role that the concept of "emergence" has played in the polemics and work of artists since the turn of the 20th Century: Poincaré, Bergson, Duchamp and the Emergence of Emergence; Ezra Pound, the aesthetics of Fascism and the scapegoat; the relationships among Duchamp, Beckett and Cage with respect to chess, and "chance"; the novels of Thomas Pynchon; a groundbreaking essay on contending tropes of thermodynamics in Freud and in Deleuze and Guattari (1993); as well as the first academic article on the cultural implications of the new paradigm of embodied cognition, for the modernist avant-garde artist Duchamp, and the postmodern novelist Pynchon "Portals in Duchamp and Pynchon" (1994).

His current research involves the relationship between theories of emergence in cognitive science, and the possible link between embodied and distributed cognition, through research on parallel processing with computers, jazz improvisation, cinema and the architecture of Arakawa and Gins. He has had a sideline in theories of hypermedia design, especially the role of metaphors in the design and implementation of information systems. He has written on physics and hypertext, on the role of complexity theory in the design of icon-driven interfaces, and on the modeling of the problematics of transdisciplinary inquiry in hypermedia. He is the co-creator of The RHIZOME Project_1989–92 (with Thomas I. Ellis); and author of the hypermedia exploratory database _Chess RHIZOME_1998–1999; and the Multi-object Oriented, Multi-User Domain classroom space MER’s Fungal Palace at the Media Lab at MIT (1996–1998). He was originally trained in classical composition and jazz arranging and performance, and has authored over thirty jazz compositions.

As a theorist interested in the problem of rigor in trans-disciplinary inquiry, he has also written several articles on the relationship of metaphors (tropes generally) and epistemology, and on the cultural work or agency of metaphors, in science, technology and philosophy. Several of his publications have been translated into other languages (Spanish and Portuguese).

PUBLICATIONS & PRESENTATIONS:

Visit Dr. Rosenberg's website here where you can find many of his writings.

In addition to publishing over two dozen articles, some of Dr. Rosenberg's research on jazz and emergence was published in the journal Inflexions, Vol. 4, November, 2010, as "[http://www.senselab.ca/inflexions/volume_4/n4_rosenberghtml.html Jazz and Emergence--Part One: From Calculus to Cage, and from Charlie Parker to Ornette Coleman: Complexity and the Aesthetics and Politics of Emergent Form in Jazz." This 94 page essay explores the history of jazz from Bebop composing practices of the 1940’s to the development of free jazz in the 1960s in terms of the concepts of “complexity” and “emergence” in physics and cognitive science. His current research on jazz addresses both embodied and distributed cognition more directly and will result in a book-length study entitled Jazz and Emergence

Dr. Rosenberg has given a number of invited lectures and conference plenaries internationally, including:

Universidade de Sao Paolo (1999 and 2000)
University of Bergen, Norway (1998)
Trent University Ontario CA, (2005)
University of Cologne, Germany (2009)
University of Warwick, GB (1994)

Texas Tech University (1998 and 2001)
Center for Nano-Technology and Society and the NSF, ASU (2006)
Arlington Arts Center DC (2010)
The Slought Foundation, U. Pennsylvania (2008)

In March 2010, Rosenberg served as of AG3-Online Conference Co-Director for <a href="http://www.reversibledestiny.org/ag3-online-the-third-international-arakawa-and-gins-architecture-and-philosophy-conference/">AG3Online</a>: The Third International Arakawa and Gins Architecture and Philosophy Conference, with concluding celebrations on March 12–26, 2010 at Barnard College/Columbia U., (April 30th), which he was master of ceremonies, and the Solomon Guggenheim Museum (May 1), where he gave the inaugural keynote.

This was the first completely digital global academic conference, with over 450 participants on six continents. Dr. Rosenberg also contributed three papers, one on embodied cognition; one on metaphor; and one comparing Marcel Duchamp and Arakawa and Madeline Gins, in terms of how their works and writings reflect paradigm shifts within physics, and within cognitive science. </blockquote>

JAZZ MUSICIAN:

Originally trained in classical composition and jazz arranging and performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Dr. Rosenberg has authored over thirty jazz compositions, and, despite having quit for thirty years, once again performs several times a week in Pittsburgh.

Dr. Rosenberg has recently played in the Pittsburgh area, with a harmonica, guitar and string bass trio, and currently with a saxophone/flute, guitar and string bass trio, and a quintet with drummer Vince Taglieri, and Tuba master Roger Day.

After pilot performances with Pittsburgh guitarists Eric Susoeff and Ken Karsh, Dr. Rosenberg will begin with an initial five monthly guitar duets with many of the best guitarists in Pittsburgh, including Mark Strickland, Mark Lucas, Ben Sherman, Gavin Horning, and others, with hopes of establishing a permanent venue.

Dr. George Rudebusch [edit]

"Education in music and poetry is most important . . . because rhythm and harmony permeate the inner part of the soul more than anything else, affecting it most strongly and bringing it grace, so that if someone is properly educated in music and poetry, it makes him graceful, but if not, then the opposite. [And] because anyone who has been properly educated in music and poetry will sense it acutely when something has been omitted from a thing and when it hasn't been finely crafted or finely made by nature." Plato (427-347 B. C.) from Republic, book III (401d-e)

One of the three co-directors for the Jazz & Philosophy Intermodal Conference for 2017, Dr. George Rudebusch specializes in Ancient Greek philosophy as a former chair of the Northern Arizona Philosophy department.

REVIEWS:
Dr. Rudebusch's Socrates (2009) was widely reviewed and found highly praiseworthy because of its lucidity, approachability, and cutting-edge Plato scholarship.
The Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, in April 2010 found Rudebusch's book "a lucid and engaging account of the philosophy of Socrates. . . . The experience of this book will be joyous for many readers, as it was for me. Rudebusch's advocacy of Socrates as a thinker who has much to tell us about the good human life is carried off with passion and grace, as well as an enviable succinctness and clarity. It is a treatment that I expect will succeed, deservedly, in winning over new advocates."
Dr. Debra Nails of Michigan State University explains Rudebusch has written "A remarkable book. A treatment of Socrates that is both original in its approach and lovingly crafted to make Socrates accessible to a contemporary audience."
Dr. Mark L. McPherran of Simon Fraser University commends Rudebusch's advancement for the field of Socratic scholars commenting that Socrates (2009) is "a stimulating, eloquent, and highly original work of scholarship that breaks new ground in the search for an understanding of this most puzzling and elusive of philosophers. It is no mean feat that Rudebusch has written a book that is both accessible to beginners in philosophy and required reading for scholars of ancient philosophy."

[caption id="attachment_963" align="alignleft" width="200"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-963" src="" alt="" width="200" height="300" /> The Unfinished Project: Toward a Metaphysical Humanism (2001)[/caption]

ABSTRACT for The Unfinished Project: Toward a Metaphysical Humanism (2001): <p class="s5">As humanity becomes increasingly interconnected through globalization, the question of whether community is possible within culturally diverse societies has returned as a principal concern for contemporary thought. Lorenzo Simpson charges that the current discussion is stuck at an impasse-between postmodernism's fragmented notions of cultural difference and humanism's homogeneous versions of community. Simpson proposes an alternative-one that bridges cultural differences without erasing them. He argues that we must establish common aesthetic and ethical standards incorporating sensitivity to difference if we are to achieve cross-cultural understanding.</p>

Reviews of The Unfinished Project: Toward a Metaphysical Humanism (2001):

“Simpson offers a sensitive and powerful argument for a conception of humanism defensible in the 21st century.” - William Outhwaite, author of Habermas: A Critical Introduction

“Simpson's defense of humanism as a 'situated cosmopolitanism' displays tremendous range. Few philosophers have mastered the nuances of music theory, cultural criticism, postmodernism, hermeneutics, and critical theory to the same degree; and those who have seldom write with such clarity.” - David Ingram, Loyola University of Chicago

“Responding to the philosophical situation of our time in which the voices of postmodernism, declaring the death of humanism and the bankruptcy of reason, wage war against the Enlightenment concepts of a common humanity and a rational social order, Lorenzo Simpson deftly splits the difference as he wends his way towards a new perspective on rationality and a viable humanism for the new millennium. This skillfully crafted volume should become required reading for all those who have worries about the future of philosophy.” - Calvin 0. Schrag, Purdue University

“This brilliant new work critically addresses and comparatively evaluates the implications of modernism and postmodernism on multiculturalism. Neither emerge unscathed, but Simpson takes the positive contributions of each to develop a post-metaphysical humanism, one that acknowledges that individuals can never wholly transcend their culture and history--their identity, in other words--but that also rejects the permanence of absolute difference or incomprehension across cultural divides. Humanity, Simpson, urges, will be forged rather than found, and as such, is the unfinished project yet to be accomplished.” - Linda Martin Alcoff, Syracuse University

“A thoughtful essay by a philosopher who has learned much from Habermas, but also has a good ear for jazz. That ear serves him well as he charts his course towards a postmetaphysical, multicultural humanism, between the Scylla of Eurocentric arrogance and the Charybdis of postmodern condescension.” - Karsten Harries, Yale University

[caption id="attachment_960" align="alignleft" width="200"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-960" src="" alt="" width="200" height="300" /> Technology, Time, and the Conversations of Modernity (1994)[/caption]

ABSTRACT for Technology, Time, and the Conversations of Modernity (1994):

Technology, Time, and the Conversations of Modernity takes as its impetus the idea that technology is an embodiment of our uneasiness with finitude. Lorenzo Simpson argues that technology has succeeded in granting our wish to domesticate time. He shows how this attitude affects our understanding of the meaning of action and our ability to discern meaning in our lives.

REVIEWS OF Technology, Time, and the Conversations of Modernity (1994):

“This is an important book. Lorenzo Simpson has given us a tough-minded, cool-eyed, warm-hearted critique of the technological perspective and of the post-modernist response . . . extraordinarily rich in language and subtle in conception.” - Marx W. Wartofsky, Baruch College

“This book is an excellent contribution both to cultural theory and to substantive moral philosophy. Lorenzo Simpson offers a subtle and scholarly account of the eclipse of imminent by instrumental value in the 'postmodern' world; at the same time, his distinctive voice brings home to us how our lives are impoverished by this development and how we can resist it.” - Sabina Lovibond, Worcester College

“Lorenzo Simpson's major new work on technology, temporality, and ethics is clearly the product of wide reading and mature reflection. . . . His discussions of Heidegger, Gadamer, Habermas, Rorty and a host of other major theorists are uniformly first-rate.” - Thomas McCarthy, Northwestern University
