Jazz hits the right note
By David Teska
Kansan staff writer
Dan Galley has set out to break new ground in jazz composition.
For his efforts, Galley, assistant professor of music and dance, was awarded the 1996 Gil Evans Fellowship Award by the International Association of Jazz Educators at its annual conference in Chicago earlier this month.
As part of the award, Gailey will receive between $2,500 and $5,000 and a commission to write an original jazz composition, which will be presented next year at the association's conference in Atlanta.
Gailey said he had to submit recordings and scores of three recent compositions to compete for the award.
The pieces he chose were Mendoza Line, Attack of the Tenor Titans and Just Below the Surf. All
The band's other album, Kansas City Boulevard Big Band, came out in 1994 and was produced by Gailey. He said that Mendoza Line probably was the winning piece because it stretched the idiom of jazz music.
three were included on the latest CD, Stellers, issued last week by his band, the Kansas City Boulevard Big Band.
With past awards going to jazz musicians such as Maria Schneider, Dale Wilson and Joey Sellars, Galley said he was surprised that he had won the award.
"Some of the names of those who have won before are big names in the jazz world," he said.
Galley said winning the award presented him with a unique opportunity to branch off and experiment with harmonics and the chord structure of the piece and to stretch the boundaries of conventional jazz in the new piece's composition.
For the new composition, Gailey said he wanted to write a piece with three movements.
"I've decided it's going to be completely different," Galley said.
Steven Erickson, Lawrence graduate student, said Gailey's willingness to try new things was a major factor in the University's music program being noted for its innovation and creativity.
Because of the efforts of professors such as Gailey, Erickson said, the KU jazz program had a reputation that equaled other well-known programs from schools such as North Texas State University.
"We're really on the cutting edge of the izz sound." Erickson said.
On a personal note, Erickson said that studying in the jazz program with Galley had given him more opportunities to perform.
"I credit Dan with my being able to be involved in both classical and jazz music," he said.

What's New This Month in THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES?
The Government Documents Library and the T.R. Smith Map Collection join the Watson Reference Department and Spahr Engineering Library in offering reference service by e-mail for KU faculty, staff and students. This service is for short, factual reference questions, not for circulation transactions, interlibrary loan requests, or lists of items to be checked. The addresses are: docs-ref@ukanvm.cc.ukans.edu, mapsref@ukanvm.cc.ukans.edu, watson-ref@ukans.edu, and spahr-ref@ukans.edu.
New E-mail Reference Service
New on the Local Area Network
The entire 32-volume Encyclopaedia Britannica is now available in Watson Library's Reference Department and the Government Documents Library (6001 Malott Hall) via the Local Area Network (LAN). Keyword and Boolean searching allow for combining and locating topics in ways that would be impossible using the printed volumes. A "Brief Guide" is available for users.
Books in Print Plus has also been added to the LAN. This source lists the majority of books available for purchase in the U.S. and can be searched by author, title, or subject. A book review from a standard trade source, such as Publishers Weekly, is provided for most newer books in the database. To get to BIP Plus from the main LAN menu, select 1) CD-ROM Databases, then 3) General, then Books in Print.
New Homepage
The Government Documents Library is proud to announce the debut of its homepage. In addition to a description of the KU documents collections, it points to numerous federal government information sites. The URL is:
http://kuhtp.cc.ukans.edu/cwis/units/kulib/docs/govdocs.html
New Equipment for the Visually Impaired
A Braille printer is now available in Watson's Reference Department. It is connected to the Online Catalog and numerous databases (e.g. ERIC, PsyCit) and can be used with MegaDots software for word processing. The printer was provided by John Poggio, Assoc. Dean of the School of Education, and the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation. Call the Student Assistance Center (864-4064), which coordinates use of the equipment, to make an advance appointment.
