Aesthetic Judgment

I like jazz.

I have ever since I was a wee sprout way back, oh long before the Flood or dirt or some other stuff.

I’m not sure if it was the immortal Ella scatting to Mr. Paganini or Charlie Shavers sweet, sweet trumpet blowing melodies straight from heaven.

I know it was WRR that did the damage.

See WRR is a radio station owned by the City of Dallas and back in those mist shrouded days when I was an impressionable boy, 'bout the same time as dinosaurs disappeared, they played classical music all day long.

Now in spite of what you may have heard or seen on television or in movies, Dallas is not a western city. Oh sure there are place where you can boot-scoot your boogie but they are mostly segregated out on the Hines strip where the Honky-tonks and the cheap hookers work.

In Dallas, the “real” Dallas most folks would be hard pressed to tell the difference between Dallas and Boston, except maybe Dallas is a bit more rigid and conservative. Classical music is deemed fit for the City station to broadcast.

But radio stations operated twenty-four hours a day and when the sun went down the things changed. Ole Jim Lowe, The Cool Fool, brought Kat’s Karavan to Dallas and that’s where I first heard Ella jamming on Paganini.

I couldn’t believe that a human could make their voice do the things Ella was doing on that cut. Those word-less lines of syllables filled with imagination and rhythm and still faithfully following the score and making just ordinary magical. I was lost.

Then at eleven I had a close encounter with Mr. Charlie. In a quick sale bin at a dime store where we never shopped, but did that day, I found a dollar LP of Charlie Shavers. It was his album, The Most Intimate and what he could do with a trumpet was like nothing I’d ever imagined. How could just breath and brass make all of that sound?

It was all downhill from that point on, Ken Nordine’s Word Jazz, Dave Brubeck and Take Five, Vince Guaraldi’s Cast Your Fate to the Wind, now Snoopy’s Theme and later Linus and Lucy, there was so much to hear and so little time between studies and football, it was maddening.

And then there was Lana. I bought Lana Cantrell’s The Sixth of Lana for the same reason every other adolescent guy in North America did, she was nekkid on the album cover!

Later when I made it into High School and the worst of the testosterone poisoning passed I listened to the record. OMFG! There was nothing which could possibly be better. In the expression we used way back then, “This girl can blow!”

Yeah, yeah that’s a whole nother thing and you’d have to ask Ms Cantrell and it’s none of your business anyway and what she does or doesn’t do in her private relationships is not at all pertinent to her ability as a singer. Yes, that’s what it meant back then, play or sing, this person could really sing and probably still means that in the dark and smoky, (probably aren’t any smoky jazz clubs left after the forces of Tarsus the Good have made us all non-smokers), jazz clubs on the dark and dangerous streets of the Naked City.

Yeah Ms Cantrell could sing like no one else and I spent the next fifty-five years searching for someone who could and failed miserably but along the way I learned two things.

I heard a lot of wonderful jazz singers and axe men who can blow and not stop and I wouldn’t have heard them if I hadn’t been looking for someone like Ms Cantrell or Mr. Charlie, (I did finally get the Complete Intimate Sessions and the search was worth every minute).

And my aesthetic taste stinks.

a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement.

scholars in the field define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art, culture and nature.

The philosopher Denis Dutton identified six universal signatures in human aesthetics:[89]
  1. Expertise or virtuosity. Humans cultivate, recognize, and admire technical artistic skills.
  2. Nonutilitarian pleasure. People enjoy art for art's sake, and don't demand that it keep them warm or put food on the table.
  3. Style. Artistic objects and performances satisfy rules of composition that place them in a recognizable style.
  4. Criticism. People make a point of judging, appreciating, and interpreting works of art.
  5. Imitation. With a few important exceptions like abstract painting, works of art simulate experiences of the world.
  6. Special focus. Art is set aside from ordinary life and made a dramatic focus of experience.
Bet you had no idea it was that complicated.

But there it is and I have struggled with it for lo’ these long and many years and have again learned a thing or two.

The critics are probably right; Miles Davis is a much better axe man than Mr. Charlie when it comes to innovation and Billie Holiday for all of her scratchy, drug ravaged voice can’t be matched for soul-searing interpretations but I still like Charlie Shavers and Lana Cantrell best. (Yes, I still have that first dollar LP and all of Lana’s LPs and wouldn’t take for nothing!)

So here’s my thought, you can’t get too cough up in aesthetic considerations, they may be in the end right, but you have your very own aesthetic to consider. May be what you like will never be the choice of the Glitterati or win a prize at the big shew in that exclusive gallery in New York. Maybe you won’t sell a thing and will always be just a working artist. But if you hold on to your own vision it is just as valid as the views of a critic from one of those talking head shows on cable television.

And who knows, one day some stupid kid with just a buck from his allowance will buy your work and hold on to it for fifty-five years. That’s not such a bad validation.

Dance Class

Hi dancers,
 
My dance class has changed location and I want to make sure you know how to find me if you’re interested in dancing!
 
Tuesday nights
6:30 – advanced dancing (yes, we will work on one advanced dance for 10 weeks!)
7:00 to 9:00 pm beginning dancing
 
Harding Learning Center 755 S. 5th Street Coos Bay (near Marshfield) – look for the pinwheels by the side door! After you’ve enter the building, find me in the multi-purpose room (in the center of the building).
 
For the 10-week session beginning Jan 28 (through April 1), I’ve attached the schedule.
 
I’m setting up a variety of payment options:
1.   Pre-pay for the entire 10-week session for $50; includes a CD with all the music
2.   Buy a 10-session punch card for $65 – use it for ANY 10 classes
3.   Drop-in $8
For people who have never been in my class, I’m offering the first class at no charge. That way they can get a feel for this UNUSUAL dance form and decide if they want to continue. If so, they can pro-rate the rest of the 10-week session (or attend via options 2 or 3).
 
 
Even if you’re not attending my class, please feel free to participate in the folk dance demonstration/audience planned for Feb 13. This event is a fund raiser for the South Coast Celtic Fest. Those interested can meet at the pub for dinner at 5:30; we’ll dance at 7:00 to live music performed by local ensemble Cultural Ecology. Here is the tentative line up of dances we’ll be doing:
 
Demo:
Barley Bree – Scotland
An Dro Retourne – Brittany
Cylch y Cymry – Wales
Mayim – Israel
Cobankat – Albania
(First come, first served – who wants to introduce a dance?)
 
Audience:
Sasha – Russia
Pravo – Bulgaria
La Bastringue – French Canadian
Sto mi e Milo – Macedonia

Let me know if you have any questions about either of these events. Hope to see you on a dance floor soon!

Doggone

I might have mentioned  a year-long project to see how my cats could be turned into art but I forgot to say that I have dogs too.

So I found a coupla contests where those pups will come in handy and I thought I might just as well give you a look at what I have done with my yeller hound and perhaps it will kick-start a plan in your "little gray cells."

Broaching the Subject

I was having lunch at Little Italy this past week when I noticed the art.

Okay, Max is a brilliant chef and his food is always first rate and even the Special is really special so there is just nothing negative to say about Little Italy, except maybe the art.

Now when you open a restaurant the last thing you think about is the decoration of the walls and that is after all just as it should be. You don’t often go to a great restaurant for the art.

Little Italy has the cozy thing down pat and even as I looked at the art I noticed with the first touch of Oregon sunlight streaming through the windows turning the main room warm with slightly orange light and it made me want to order a big glass of red wine, nothing great, a Barolo or a Valpolicella and kick of my shoes and sit back and spend the rest of the day lingering in the sun.

Okay so no one wants me to take off my shoes in a restaurant and even though Max is a superlative host I am pretty sure the turnover rate to sustain a solid business model wouldn’t allow for lounging in the dinning room over one lousy glass of table red well past serving hours and in direct conflict with the Croaker’s instructions for my ongoing recovery so it was just a fantasy, but the fact that I conjured it up tells you the dinning room is pretty terrific just the way it sits…but I couldn’t help wishing that the art was a bit more challenging for the eye cause the food would challenge any pallet and great food deserves a great location and the weather was cooperating so why not the art?

Well, insert dramatic pause, the purpose of a restaurant is not to display art. But maybe the skills which make for such an artistic expression in food limit the expression in the visual field? There are people and I deeply and truly hate them who have artistic skills in all things and I hope that they get crab grass or athlete’s foot or the heartbreak of psoriasis, but not everyone with great talent has it in all areas of endeavor.

Now since I have a bit of talent maybe I should take on the job of making an overture to Max about putting up some local art and I will take that under advisement, cause I don’t want to risk making him mad and getting banned and not being able to destroy my diet and make the Quack climb the walls when he checks my A1C and so maybe I will think about some other restaurant which needs local art but that doesn’t mean that you should and when you bring up the subject you won’t have to worry about the diet and the Quack and the being banned stuff and that will make it much easier.

But in order to do any of this broaching of subjects which is much more difficult than poaching an egg cause that is just a homonym and not to be confused with broaching which does not involve eggs at all you must first have something in hand which might just provide a better atmospheric ambiance than the usual Thomas Kinkade villages which seem to hang on every public wall and have no direct relation to what is being served there and that is not a good thing so check around in that shed you stuff all of your back stock in and try to find something that would actually fit in with the decor.

Now I’m thinking about those nifty, neat and cool microbreweries of which we happen to be lucky enough to actually have and they’ve done a pretty good job making the pub part of the operation look inviting and so to get Carmen to think about letting you hang something which you created in his fantastic place not to mention getting it past the Head of Operations or “She Who Must be Obeyed” if you are a PBS fan, it’s gotta be good, right and fit perfectly.

Which is why you should actually look at the place before you do any of that advanced broaching.

Now me I’m a photographer and I have an idea which is unusual cause usually I just sit around until the moss starts to block my vision but since I do have an idea I have to tailor it to not only be something that Carmen would like and maybe even get past the gimlet eye of Annie but it has to be something I can write about in this blog so it has to be something that you would want to read and that makes it more difficult but I have an idea and since it requires work that is all I will say until I have actually done the work and have the thing ready to write about here and that is all I can say for the moment.

But you probably have an idea that is ready right now and since you do you can put it into practice and get out there and start your broaching and get the ball rolling and then you can take a look at some other places which might just need an artist’s eye and that will make your own work more accessible and then you will sell more and get filthy rich and wind up doing an interview on the Today show and have Matt asking all those silly questions and then you will get invited to all of the parties and meet up with a Kardashian and get married…oh hell no, I don’t want that for any of you.

But the part about looking around for businesses which have a need for art is the right thing to do even if it does expose you to potential Kardashianitis.

So take a look at your art, then think about the places where you go all of the time and which need some better art and maybe you’ll get those paintings out of the shed and into the public eye and even broach the subject with Max so that I don’t have to and won’t get banned and can still make my Quack cringe when my A1C comes back!

Cat's Meow

I warned you this might happen.  I can't believe someone thinks cats make lousy photographic subjects.

So here is one more in my year long quest to find out all I can about using cats as the subject of my on art.
