Kind of Blue
No full textThis lecture on Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue was recorded in the Lawrence Chapel on March 9, 2020. The lecture was designed for students and faculty in the Freshman Studies program. This program, a multidisciplinary introduction to liberal learning, has been a cornerstone of the Lawrence curriculum since 1945.
The lecturer, Mark Urness, is Associate Professor of Music at Lawrence. Professor Urness’s diverse performance experience encompasses orchestral, chamber, solo, and jazz playing. In addition to being awarded first prize in the International Society of Bassists Jazz Competition, he has also released Foreground, an unaccompanied jazz CD. Bass World magazine has described his playing as “completely in command of the instrument and the tunes, rife with good ideas, melodic instinct, and groove, not to mention killer intonation on the double stops and chords.”
Prior to his appointment to the faculty of Lawrence University, Professor Urness taught at the University of Iowa, Coe College, and the University of Northern Iowa. He received a Master of Music in double bass performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, a Bachelor of Arts in music from the University of Northern Iowa, and studied music and computer science at the University of Iowa
Knowing the Strangers in the Shogun\u27s City
No full textAmy Stanley, Stranger in the Shogun’s City. This work of history is one of the new works for First Year Studies. It is a biography of a woman named Tsuneno who lived in the first half of the 19th century in Edo, Japan (which would become Tokyo). On the strength of its storytelling this work has been awarded the 2021 PEN and National Book Critics Circle awards for biography. The book takes a sympathetic look at the life of a woman who made her way from a village to the big city. After having read about Plato’s ideal vision for a city in The Republic, this work of history will sketch for us the reality of life in a growing modern city, and give us a look at the demands such a city makes on individuals.
