LÉGENDES DU JAZZ

UN GUITARISTE SOUS-ESTIMÉ, GRANT GREEN

"A severely underrated player during his lifetime, Grant Green is one of the great unsung heroes of jazz guitar Green's playing is immediately recognizable – perhaps more than any other guitarist." 

- Michael Erlewine et Ron Wynn

Né le 6 juin 1935 à St. Louis, au Missouri, Grant Green était le seul enfant de John et Martha Green. Le père de Green avait été manoeuvre et policier à St. Louis. Green avait commencé à apprendre la guitare à l’école primaire après avoir reçu de premières leçons de son père, qui jouait du blues et de la musique folk. Même s’il avait étudié durant un an avec Forrest Alcorn, Green avait surtout appris à jouer en autodidacte en tentant de reproduire les disques qu’il écoutait. Très actif dans les programmes de musique de son high school, Grant avait également joué de l’ukulele, tout en se produisant dans un ensemble de cors et clairons et en chantant dans les chorales des écoles publiques de St. Louis.

DÉBUTS DE CARRIÈRE

Green, qui avait abandonné l’école en huitième année, avait amorcé sa carrière professionnelle à l’âge de treize ans avec un groupe de gospel. Green était dans la vingtaine lorsqu’il s’était installé à New York où il avait joué avec des groupes de jazz et de rhythm & blues. Très influencé par Charlie Christian, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Miles Davis, Jimmy Smith et Jimmy Raney, Green imitait le son des saxophonistes dans son jeu, en se concentrant sur les notes plutôt que sur les accords.

Green avait d’abord joué du boogie woogie avant de se tourner vers le jazz. Comme Green l’avait expliqué au cours d’une entrevue qu’il avait accordée au magazine Down Beat au début des années 1960: "The first thing I learned to playwas boogie-woogie. Then I had to do a lot of rock and roll. It's all blues, anyhow."

Green avait fait ses débuts sur disque à l’âge de vingt-huit ans avec le saxophoniste ténor Jimmy Forrest dans le cadre d’un groupe qui comprenait également le batteur Elvin Jones. Green avait d’ailleurs enregistré plusieurs albums avec Jones au milieu des années 1960. En 1959, le saxophoniste alto Lou Donaldson avait entendu Green dans un club de St. Louis et l’avait engagé avec son groupe de tournée. Donaldson avait présenté Green au président des disques Blue Note, Alfred Lion, qui l’avait engagé comme guitariste-maison avec la firme. Conscient du potentiel de Green, plutôt de le confiner à un simple rôle d’accompagnateur, Lion lui avait permis de diriger sa propre session d’enregistrement. Malheureusement, en raison du manque de confiance chronique de Green, la session avait été publiée seulement en 2001, sous le titre de ‘’First Session.’’ Green avait aussi collaboré avec Donaldson dans le cadre de l’enregistrement de l’album ‘’Here ‘Tis’’.

Malgré le caractère prometteur de la session, la relation de Green avec Blue Note ne s’était pas prolongée au-delà de la décennie de 1960. De 1961 à 1965, Green avait participé à plus de sessions pour Blue Note que n’importe quel autre artiste, tant comme leader que comme accompagnateur. Intitulé First Stand, le premier album de Grant comme leader (1961) avait été suivi la même année de Green Street et Grantstand. Élu meilleur artiste de la relève (Best New Star) dans le cadre du sondage des critiques du magazine Down Beat en 1962, Green avait fait une tournée au Nigeria la même année.

Grant avait aussi souvent accompagné d’autres musiciens qui étaient à l’emploi de Blue Note, dont les saxophonistes Hank Mobley, Ike Quebec, Harold Vick et Stanley Turrentine et les organistes Larry Young et Big John Patton

Après avoir enregistré des albums concept comme ‘’Sunday Mornin''' (1962) , ’The Latin Bit’’ (1963) et ‘’Feelin' the Spirit’’ (1963), tous consacrés à un style différent, Green avait obtenu un certain succès commercial avec des albums comme ‘’Idle Moments’’ (qui mettait en vedette le saxophoniste Joe Henderson et le vibraphoniste Bobby Hutcherson en 1963), et Solid (1964), qui avaient été décrits par la critique comme les meilleurs enregistrements de sa carrière. Considéré comme un des 100 meilleurs albums de jazz de l’histoire, l’album Idle Moments avait remporté un grand succès.

Plusieurs des enregistrements de Green n’avaient été publiés qu’après sa mort. Parmi ceux-ci, on remarquait quelques albums enregistrés avec le pianiste Sonny Clark en 1961-62 qui avaient été réédités sous le titre de The Complete Grant Green & Sonny Clark en 1997 par les disques Mosaic. En 1964, Green avait enregistré un autre album sous son nom, ‘’Matador’’, mais il n’avait été publié que l’année de sa mort en 1979. La même année, il avait également enregistré deux albums avec McCoy Tyner et Elvin Jones.

DERNIÈRES ANNÉES

En 1966, Green avait quitté Blue Note et avait commencé à enregistrer avec d’autres étiquettes, dont les disques Verve de Norman Granz avec qui il avait enregistré l’album His Majesty King Funk la même année. De 1967 à 1969, Green s’était retiré du jazz en raison de sa dépendance à l’héroïne. Retourné chez Blue Note en 1969, Green avait surtout joué dans des contextes de R & B. Parmi les albums enregistrés par Green à cette époque, on remarquait le disque à succès Green Is Beautiful (1970) et la bande sonore du film The Final Comedown (1969) et un album en concert intitulé Live at the Lighthouse (1972)

En 1971, peu après s’être produit au The Watts Club Mozambique de Detroit, Green avait publié l’album Shades of Green. Publiée comme simple, la pièce “Vision’’ avait remporté un grand succès et s’était classée à la 151e position du Billboard où elle était demeurée durant une période de neuf semaines. Après avoir de nouveau quitté les disques Blue Note en 1974, Green avait enregistré de façon sporadique avec différentes maisons de disques. Tout en collaborant avec des formations plutôt conventionnelles, Green s’était régulièrement produit avec un trio comprenant un organiste et un batteur.

Après avoir passé la majeure partie de l’année 1978 à l’hôpital, Green avait ignoré l’avis de ses médecins et était parti sur la route afin de gagner de l’argent. Green se trouvait à New York pour jouer au Breezin' Lounge de George Benson lorsqu’il avait été victime d’une crise cardiaque dans son automobile. Il est mort le 31 janvier 1979. Green a été enterré au Greenwood Cemetery de St. Louis. Il laissait dans le deuil ses six enfants, dont son fils Grant Green Jr., qui était également guitariste.

Grant Green, qui avait rarement joué de la guitare rythmique sauf comme accompagnateur,  a enregistré plus de trente albums au cours de sa carrière. Green avait influencé de nombreux guitaristes, dont George Benson et Carlos Santana. Guitariste souvent sous-estimé, Green avait inspiré le commentaire suivant aux critiques Michael Erlewine et Ron Wynn: "A severely underrated player during his lifetime, Grant Green is one of the great unsung heroes of jazz guitar Green's playing is immediately recognizable – perhaps more than any other guitarist."

writer muses + publications: Sarah W*lliams (1971- ) long post under cut.consider reading on blog instead.

Given the depths of Sarah's imagination, it should come as no surprise that she has made her living telling tales. She spent a lot of her childhood making up little stories to entertain herself or her parents, and ever her mother's daughter, would sometimes perform them in the comfort of her own living room. This was all, of course, before her parent's split and her own burgeoning teen angst.

Post-L*byrinth, however, Sarah felt a burning need to put pen to paper, like a girl possessed. It is quietly assumed that her time spent among the Otherworld and reaping some reward from it influenced her burgeoning skills for the better. She attended Columbia after high school, and had her first book published the same year she obtained her undergraduates degree.

To date, Sarah has written 11 standalone novels, four novels in a series, a series of stageplays, and three compendiums of mythology and fairy tales -- some of which are collected from the Fae themselves. Her latest manuscript is only recently finished in-universe, and to be published in 2025.

Standalone Novels:

The Stolen Child (1992) - Sarah's premiere novel was very much a 'Write What You Know' scenario. It's her coming of age retold with the punch and romanticism that makes for good 90s fiction. It concerns a teenage girl who unwittingly shuffles her younger brother off to the Fae, and the trials she faces to retrieve him. Was a sensation upon release, but all Sarah really cares about is Diana Wynne Jones provided the quote for the cover. That's when she knew she made it.

Within You (1994) - No sophomore slump detected here. A medieval fantasy based around the legends of the Beast of Gevaudan, Within You took a slightly different direction that much of her later work in dabbling with Werewolf mythology. Most will call the work a great corner of the 'Beauty and the Beast' retelling market that spun out of the 1991 Disney film, but it's motifs and characterization is a lot deeper than a surface 'Beauty and the Beast retread' interpretation.

Crystal Moons (1997) - A return to the Fae narratives that are so close to Sarah, this one is a fantastical tale which uses the phases of the moon as a pivotal aspect of the plot. It concerns a young woman in a loosely Gilded Age inspired setting that goes to work for a manor house that is on the border of the Mortal and Fae realms, and how she navigates both worlds and the inevitable march of time. Controversial upon release for vague Sapphic themes between the protagonist and a Fae woman.

It’s Only Forever (1999) - While this work could be easily dated by it's Y2K premise, Sarah isn't actually interested in the scuttlebutt that was relevant at the time. She simply uses it as a tool to kick off the plot concerning time travel, legacy, and the things we leave behind. Considered to be one of her more mature works from the era, and a crowning achievement in the coming of age tales she prefers to weave.

The Lost and the Lonely (2001) - This book would be forgiven for being her most bleak. The first book written since her divorce, since becoming a single mother, and written during a time of significantly horrific political and economic upheaval, it'd be easy to assume this book is Sarah venting her frustrations given the title. However, that's not how Sarah works. The book instead focuses on a ragtag group of outcasts coming together against a supernatural threat, and their character growth therein. Despite some heavy horror themes, the book is like something of a reassuring hug to the reader assuring them they are not alone.

As The World Falls Down (2005) - A passion project for Sarah, concerning the Battle of Camlann in fabled Arthuriana. Pulling from several traditions to try and mete out a 'baseline' of events, the narrative is told from the perspective of the various queens, mothers, maidens, and fae folk who are tangled within the harrowing final battle between father and son. The narrative can be bleak at times but carries underpinnings of hope/living with ones trauma/women supporting women as an ultimate lesson.

The Fooled Heart (2007) - A Venetian caper involving the Fae amidst the Renaissance. It concerns a young painters apprentice who must stay afloat amidst intrigues both human and inhuman, all while collecting miraculous ingredients so his maestro can finish a painting commissioned by Queen Mab herself. Features what a lot of fans take for the first appearance of the humanoid Tytos King, meaning all of Sarah's Fae-focused novels might be in a shared universe. Sarah is amazed most fans caught that and not that the protagonist is trans--

In Search of New Dreams (2012) - Sarah had to spell it out in big bold letters this time. The story of a changeling protagonist -- from the perspective of the human child brought into the Fae world. Deals with a lot of queer/identity trauma themes and is considered a great novel, but also a bit of a cathartic tearjerker in how the narrative backs up and validates the protagonist, and in turn the feelings and identities of certain readers. Unwittingly released the same year her child started to recognize they were nonbinary.

Valentine Evenings (2015) - The result of a lost bet, but proved popular regardless and secured Sarah's memetic status as an author that can truly 'do it all.' A trio of romantic novellas where each features a different supernatural being. No one is surprised at all that there's a Faerie romance. The surprise is that it's a Sapphic as fuck interpretation of Goblin Market. The other two novellas involve a Vampire and a re-imagining of the Prince Lindworm tale.

The Path Between the Stars (2017) - Sarah wrote an Eldritch Horror novel. And it kicked ass. The 2010s were a largely experimental time in Sarah's writing, and nowhere was this more apparent in her taking the Lovecraftian formula and stripping it down to the brass tacks to rebuild it in her own image. It's not about the otherness of the indefinable, the horror of not understanding something so unlike you, but the power of soldiering on. If people didn't cry during As The World Falls Down, they cried during this one.

Buried Underground (2019) - Wow, the New 10s were a wild ride for Sarah's fans. She dialed it down a bit to bid the decade farewell, giving her fans a chance to recover from the Memento Mori (Affectionate) that was tPBtS. This one is an affectionate parody of pirate/adventure novels and associated media concerning a protagonist with a secret inhuman heritage dragged into the middle of a treasure hunt. There's a cat and mouse game between the pirate crew and the navy, and the protagonist solving the mystery of how everyone but her got here.

The Sky Within Your Eyes (2025) -Sarah's yet-unreleased latest novel. Little is known of its contents, except that it's a return to the Fae lore she excels at and is quite long pre-editing. So far she's only teased that she has a lot more free time now on social media which has her fanbase vibrating wildly at the mere thought of new material.

The Stars Constant series:

A series which treads similar material to her YA/young readers oeuvre, but with far more edge and older protagonists. The narrative focuses on generations of women who face down a Fae threat identified only as 'The Tytos King,' who appears as a owl-like chimaerical beast or else as a handsome, if dramatic, man with golden hair. The books are generally sleeper hits compared to her childrens/YA fare, but has a devoted fanbase online. Had two seasons of a Netflix adaptation that focused on the modern 'Black Tide' novel with the plots of the historical 'Winter's Fable' and 'Fantasy's Requiem' relegated to flashbacks/worldbuilding.

Despite what can be inferred... Sarah only took the aesthetics of her former foe and later mentor for the Tytos King. His haughty, cruel beauty and dark wardrobe meshed perfectly with the image she wanted to project of her villain, but otherwise there is little resemblance between the two.

Winter's Fable (2003) - A 1980s-based piece of nostalgia about a young woman drawn into a deadly game by circumstances beyond her control. While it smells a little of her early interactions with J*reth, there is no autobiographical slant to the story as there was in The Stolen Child. The stakes/underhanded bullshit the Tytos King puts on the heroine might be closer to how her own bastard mentor was when they met, but that's where the similarities end.

Fantasy's Requiem (2009) - A 1910s-based prequel to Winter's Fable, concerning the grandmother of WF's heroine dealing with a far less monstrous Tytos King in an isolated corner of rural South England. One of those books, like tPBtS and tLatL, that really shows Sarah would be a terrifying horror author if she put her mind to it. Most villain/heroine shipping in fandom will involve this protagonist and old TK himself.

Black Tide (2013) - The first modern take on The Stars Constant, following the daughter of WF's protagonist navigating an academic setting whose architecture is becoming increasingly hostile to the student body. A pigeonholing of modern academia and its gatekeeping ways, where the protagonist might be forced to willingly ally with TK just to get out alive. Because the only thing worse than the allegedly fictional Fae is the very real specter of the modern American school system. Revered by fans of D*rk Ac*demia who don't realize it meets their beloved aesthetic with open disdain.

Ruby Red (2020) - An early Victoriana fever dream serving to remind the audience that TK is both far older and far more cruel than the 20th century could ever predict. Follows an ancestress of the prior heroines breaking ground on a new estate in the south of England, only to upend local wards against something ancient and malevolent. Presents a penultimate chapter plot twist that sets the entire modern plot on its ear concerning the family. Source of many an anti-owl meme on the internet following the amount of scares concerning TK's shapeshifting.

Compendium:

Tales From the Edge of Night: A Treasury of Classic Fairy Tales (1997) - Part collection of Toby's favorite childhood stories, part an academic approach to traditional bedtime stories from their Grimm sanitization to their folk tale origins, even getting into truths that she gathered from the mouths of some figures in the tales themselves. Remarkably expensive to find online, as it had scant printings and collectors of Sarah's works don't like to let this one go.

From The Water We Came: Tracing The Roots Of Wives, Witches, and Wonders in Arthuriana (2005) - Released alongside AtWFD, the book is a compilation of facts, translations, and interviews Sarah compiled in researching every angle of the mythos surrounding King Arthur. A bit better respected by both academic and non-fiction circles than the aforementioned Fairy Tale collection, the book has seen several reprints and is still commonly cited by fans of the subject at hand.

Like Rays From the Moon: Another Treasury of Favorite Tales (2009) - Like its elder sibling before it, this is a collection of stories and related facts concerning he favorite stories of a child in Sarah's life. This time, it was centered around the tastes of her own child, Rosetti. This one has fared better than the first attempt as well, and weaves in several stories attributed as original fiction to Sarah herself that are instead collecting from non-human history and folk tales.

Corridors Without Thread: The Accurate and Concise History of the Goblin Dominion Known to Humanity as the L*byrinth, From the Mouth of its Second and Best-Loved Monarch, King J*reth the 1th, May His Song and Splendor Bless the Land Evermore, and Queen Hel Shall Most Certainly Read This So Please Call Him Back (ongoing, unfinished) - Sarah wanted this. She wanted to know what made the scene of her adolescent triumph kick. She wanted to separate the legendary chaff from the truth's wheat. What J*reth gave her was an absolute whopper of a tale starting with when he killed the former king when he was all of 8 years old, and the roller coaster did not slow down after that. Sarah wanted off this ride three chapters in but they're only up to the 100th year of his 5 century reign. He just met Hel. She had to call it there because she didn't realize how annoying this man was about women he simped for. She understands the title now and she hates it.

Reflection and Evaluation of Learning 4

Sound design was something I had always done on my own, however this time i worked with 2 groups of people, the first didnt really do anything, but the second were working in a file format which I was unfamilier with AAF files. This is an advanced multimedia file type which can contain lots of types of data such as images and sounds seperated into their different layers. AAF seems to be the ultimate audio designing file type as its used in Pro Tools and FL Studio. I however had no way of opening these files, and i had to reformat my audio in a way which the sound designers could use in their software.

The software I had been using to add audio was Premiere Pro however my file was mixed in stereo and to import files into Pro Tools the file must be mono.

A bit of context so the next part makes sense... I had 14 audio tracks originally

Alex (Vocal)

Hugh with some Alex (Vocal)

Glenda (Vocal)

Van

Woosh

Movement

Scratch audio

Other sound effects 1

Other sound effects 2

Music

Clothing

Overflow1

Overflow2

Overflow3

With all my audio on separated and themed layers I created a new document with multichannel audio enabled, I then copied all the tracks from the old document to the new (creating another identical set of 14 tracks). However as this document is multichannel audio I set the total number of audio channels to 8.

(above are the tracks, there are 14 but the window was too small to show all the tracks at once so its cropped off a few)

I then each track to be panned entirely to the left or right in an alternating pattern (as seen below)

When I exported this document as an .AAF file it pushes the 14 audio tracks through 8 channels where the left and right are each different tracks. The software my sound engineers were using automatically assumed these stereo outputs as mono, and so would separate my 8 channels out back into their original 16 tracks

This process worked and enabled my sound designers access to the work I had already done and now I understand the software sound engineers use I am more prepared to format my work in a way (from the start) that is best for them. While yes, this is not strictly speaking animation skills, I do think learning this was important as I plan to work with the same sound designers moving forward I do also see that this might have been a slight waste of time if my goal was to only finish my film.

I could have put this time into other things which may have had more immediate impacts but I am happy I prioritised this as the deadline for the MA is not the same as the deadline for my film, and moving forward this is so useful to have and understanding of.

This information was way out of my comfort zone and so I used a couple of tutorials to educate myself on the subject.
