FROM BARROOM TO CONCERT HALL:
Jazz Gaining Respect in Music World

T .ELRUINE/lot
By SHIRLEY CROOG
Jazz, America's unique contri-
bution to the world of music, has
reached a highly respected position
among a wide range of musicI
lovers.
No longer associated solely with
smoke-filled dingy barrooms, jazz
has reached the concert hall. It is
enthusiast and the hi-fidelity
listener.
Prof. Wiley Hitchcock of the
School of Music looks at jazz not
merely as the evolution of a music
fundamentally for dancing and
listening but as an "art of impro-
visation."
Present at Creation
"The delight of jazz is being
present at the moment of crea-
tion," the music literature pro-
fessor said.
"It is the musician's art of
manifesting a spontaneous rapport,
between fellow musiicans working
together."
The popularity of jazz may be
,Z)
gauged by its influence and effect
on musical interest today. An in-
creasing number of books written
within the past few years analyze
jazz "technically, historically and
intellectually," Prof. -itchcock
added, "indicating that more and
more persons, formerly concerned
solely with 'long-hair music' are
enthusiastically interested in dis-
covering the intricacies of jazz."
Jazz's influence on modern
American music reflects conscious
attempts by composers such as
Aaron Copeland and George Gersh-
win at one time to incorporate jazz
idioms in piano concertos and
orchestral music.
"Consequently," Prof. Hitchcock
continued, "the music became
dated.
Syncopated Music
Modern jazz traces its beginning
in the late nineteenth century to
the Africo-Cuban music in New
Orleans where people from differ-

it before.
Boogie Beat
Shdrtly before World War II, the
boogie beat was popularized by
Count Basie and others. After the
war, two movements, progressive
jazz and be-bop, developed simul-
taneously. The huge bands of Stan,
Kenton and Woody Herman played
dissonance vigorously and called itI
"progressive."
Meanwhile, a musician named
Gillespie was busy cultivating two
things - a goatee and be-bop. It
was progressive on a small scale.
for it had dissonance but the bands
were smaller. Within a few years
bop had faded.
Replacing bop was a "cool,"
harmonious, less frantic jazz which
had originated on the east coast
and traveled to the west It was
played. by small combos of three
and four musicians, many of whom
had much background in "serious"
music.
Among the best known of the
groups are Dave Brubeck, Jerry
Mulligan, George Shearing and
Miles Davis quartets.f
Prof. Hitchcock commented that,
not everything that people call jazz
is really jazz.

The Aerobee was given a two
and one-half second boost, supple-
menting the liquid-fuel motor,
which burned continuously from
takeoff for 43 seconds.
Maximum Forces
Maximum acceleration forces
were 15 G's (15 times the pull of
gravity) in the Aerobee and 50
G's in the Cajun. These were
reached near the end of the fir-
ing, while the force was constant
and the mass at its minimum. ,
Fuel in each rocket accounted
for approximately 75 per cent of
the weight.
Fourteen or fifteen more roc-
kets are expected to be fired dur-
ing the next year and a
half, according to Spencer.
