  • Greta Magnusson Grossman: modern design from Sweden to America.
    Lund Humphries, 2021
    Co-Authors: Harriss Harriet, House Naomi
    Abstract:

    Greta Magnusson Grossman (1906-1999) was a prolific designer working within the male-dominated world of mid-century modern design, whose status and influence has been largely ignored. Grossman was the ultimate polymath - an industrial designer, interior designer and architect working within two fascinating contexts: Scandinavia and North America. This book firstly details her background, education and the formative year of her career in Sweden, before describing how she and her husband, the British Jazz Musician and band-leader Billy Grossman, moved to Los Angeles in 1940. It then describes the studio they opened on Rodeo Drive and the creative, avant-garde LA community in which she operated. Her Swedish modernist approach to interior design was an instant hit in Los Angeles and soon she attracted celebrity clients, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Joan Fontaine, Gracie Allen and Frank Sinatra. While she is remembered for her work as a product and lighting designer, her work as an interior designer has been almost entirely overlooked. This book catalogues and emphasises the significance of her contribution to the canon of interior design: making the connections between ideas she tested at the scale of the product within the interior environment. It positions her contribution to interior design in relation to the canon of (i) the genre(s) to which she contributed (ii) her discipline and (iii) the emerging canon of women designers - who are only now being recognised, whilst considering her enduring legacy upon the world of design today. Magnusson Grossman's most enduring work came in the form of her architecture and interior commissions. Grossman designed at least fourteen homes in Los Angeles; one in San Francisco and one back in her native Sweden. Of these, at least ten are still standing - all of which are featured in this book making both the visuals and the content of this book unique. The book finally explores her contemporary impact, including the relaunch of her lighting and furniture and her influence on today’s designers

  • the ubiquitous Jazz metaphor thoughts from a Jazz Musician and management educator
    Marketing Intelligence & Planning, 2015
    Co-Authors: Noel Dennis
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a viewpoint about how the Jazz metaphor can be applied to marketing/management education, in light of the article by Holbrook (2015). Design/methodology/approach – This commentary examines the Jazz metaphor from the author’s perspective as a Jazz Musician and management educator and hopefully provides the reader with a brief snapshot into the intricate workings of a Jazz group. This commentary also investigates the lessons to be learned from Miles Davis’s approach to leadership and innovation. Findings – The Jazz group can provide a valuable model for modern organisations. The core competencies of a successful Jazz group, e.g. collaboration, trust, dialogue and innovation can be employed to bring about a culture of creativity within an organisation. Research limitations/implications – It may be possible to extend the Jazz metaphor and investigate how different aspects of business practice could be aligned with particular genres of Jazz. Originality/value –...

  • the marketing manager as a Jazz Musician
    Marketing Intelligence & Planning, 2015
    Co-Authors: Morris B Holbrook
    Abstract:

    Purpose – Recently, organizational theorists and business thinkers have discovered the Jazz metaphor and have employed this trope as an analogy to infer and describe best practices in the areas of organizational innovation and business strategy. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – The present paper extends and amplifies this insight in the area of marketing practice and compares the marketing manager to the Jazz Musician with special attention to the problem of introducing new offerings during the mature stage of the product life cycle – namely, the strategic issue that concerns most marketing managers most of the time. Findings – Ultimately, the author is struck by the rather profound ways in which – true to the Jazz metaphor – the marketing manager during the mature phase of the product life cycle resembles an improvising Musician. Originality/value – The present paper pursues this theme in connection with one particular aspect of marketing strategy – namely, the design a...

  • memorization by a Jazz Musician a case study
    Psychology of Music, 2008
    Co-Authors: Helga Noice, John M Jeffrey, Tony Noice, Roger Chaffin
    Abstract:

    To investigate the memory strategies of Jazz Musicians, we videotaped an experienced Jazz pianist as he learned a new bebop piece. He had not previously heard a recording of the selection, nor had he seen the written music. The pianist provided detailed reports of the musical structure and the types of cues he used as landmarks to guide his memorization. Analysis of the videotapes, verbal reports, and multiple annotated copies of the music revealed that this Jazz pianist's learning process was similar to that reported for classical Musicians. That is, he used the musical structure as a retrieval scheme and practiced using performance cues to elicit knowledge of upcoming passages from long-term memory. However, this study looked only at the learning strategy for the note-by-note renditions that typically comprise the first choruses of Jazz performances. The relationship between this original memorization process and the ability to improvise subsequent choruses will have to be addressed in future investigat...
