An analysis of selected improvisations by Andrew Hill and the development of progressive jazz piano, 1959-2005
No full textPianist and composer Andrew Hill (1931-2007) made significant contributions to the jazz idiom during the nearly fifty years he recorded, however his compositions and improvisational style have yet to be explored in great depth. His unique style, filled with rhythmic irregularities, harmonic dissonance and abrupt shifts in mood, developed out of the conventions of hard bop. By the time Hill led his second recording session in 1963 (his first for Blue Note), his playing had developed more fully with the incorporation of a freer approach to melody, harmony and rhythm. His compositions often maintain form and make use of traditional chord symbols, but harmonic and rhythmic “looseness” adds a degree of complexity and discontinuity, which may in part account for Hill’s relative obscurity. In 2000, he began receiving numerous awards for his playing and composing from Down Beat, Jazz Journalist and other publications. The main purpose of this study is the presentation of seven previously unpublished transcriptions of Hill’s improvised solos spanning 1959 to 2005. In addition, this paper will provide a biography of Andrew Hill’s early life and recording career and will present several previously unpublished compositions by Hill. For this study, I conducted interview with several of his former collaborators: trumpeters Ron Horton and Charles Tolliver, multi-reedist Greg Tardy and bassist Scott Colley. This contribution, I hope, will help to increase Hill’s prominence as a significant jazz figure and shed some light on this underrepresented artist.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2011-07-05T19:54:46Z

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
