    The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories

    No full text
    This article arises from work by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Working Group examining mechanisms to roll out audit and certification services for digital repositories in the United Kingdom. Our attempt to develop a program for applying audit and certification processes and tools took as its starting point the RLG-NARA Audit Checklist for Certifying Digital Repositories. Our intention was to appraise critically the checklist and conceive a means of applying its mechanics within a diverse range of repository environments. We were struck by the realization that while a great deal of effort has been invested in determining the characteristics of a 'trusted digital repository', far less effort has concentrated on the ways in which the presence of the attributes can be demonstrated and their qualities measured. With this in mind we sought to explore the role of evidence within the certification process, and to identify examples of the types of evidence (e.g., documentary, observational, and testimonial) that might be desirable during the course of a repository audit.

    Validating the Voice In The Music of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

    No full text
    Lambert, Hendricks & Ross was an unusual vocal jazz trio. Made up of Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks, and Annie Ross, they were one of the only interracial and mixed gender vocal jazz groups in the United States in the late 1950s. They were known for their vocalese—a style of singing in which lyrics are set to recorded instrumental melodies and improvisations. Their music revealed that the voice could fulfill its traditional role by contributing language through lyrics, and simultaneously take on the qualities of an instrument. In 1957, they set words to Count Basie big band recordings and recreated the entire ensemble with three voices. Their album Sing a Song of Basie (1957), was not only a hit, but is now considered the first foundational group recording of vocalese. In addition to their unorthodox sound, they were also a highly unusual looking group in 1950s America. Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross was a racially integrated and mixed gender trio comprised of a white vocal arranger from Boston (Lambert), an African-American vocalist and lyricist (Hendricks), and a Scottish born, former Hollywood child starlet (Ross). Together from 1957 to 1962, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross redefined vocal jazz while simultaneously reflecting changing social attitudes towards race and gender in the United States. Employing the voice as a foundation, this dissertation addresses two main questions: What does it mean to have a voice in jazz? And, who is allowed a voice? The voice is traditionally understood as either an expression of individuality or as the performance of a particular gendered, racial, or cultural identity. This dissertation examines the voice as an intersection between these two registers. In the words of Farah Jasmine Griffin, the voice is like “a hinge, a place where things can both come together and break apart.” In this intersection, this dissertation reveals how Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross validated their subjectivities in jazz while also revealing the possibility of a more integrated and equal American society
