Musicians want to be heard. Making that happen involves time and effort that could be spent making music,
however. Fortunately, Richmonders Elijah Hedrick and designer Rian Moses-Hedrick have started a platform to
help. HearRVA shines a spotlight on Richmond musicians. “We’re basically trying to play matchmaker with music
fans here in Richmond,” Rian says.
The promotion platform was created in July last year by the designer and her husband, Elijah. HearRVA’s
website offers videos of local performances, a list of live music spots and playlists of songs from Richmond-based
musicians. Musicians submit links to their work to be considered for promotion at no cost. The site is a passion
project for the married couple and is supported by money donations from the natives.
One of the next steps is an interview series, “Liner Notes,” which highlights local musicians and the
motivations behind their music. The series was launched in November with local singer Devonne Harris, who plays
recorded popular music on the local radio. “It’s a great way for listeners to get a close look into what’s going on
behind some of the creative forces in the city,” Harris says. “Sometimes having extra insight adds more of a
connection, so people can really go back to listen to your music and be grateful for what you do and listen to it from
a different angle.”
Rian and Elijah are looking ahead to season two of “Liner Notes”, which they plan to release next year. For
them, everything ties back to providing exposure to local musicians. “People always want to go to LA or New York
because they think they have a better shot there, and the market’s bigger,” Rian says, “but why don’t we grow the
market here?”
1．What is the main purpose of HearRVA?
A．To bring local artists close together.
B．To build a useful source for musicians.
C．To show how to appreciate local music.
D．To connect local musicians with music lovers.
2．What helps HearRVA’s website work well?
A．The great local demand for it.
B．Local musicians’ desire for fame.
C．Local people’s financial support.
D．The married couple’s gift for music.

B．Effective ways of composing or playing music.
C．Different opinions on a certain kind of music.

Long recognized as a transformational figure, Ornette Coleman remains one of the most mysterious figures in
American music. After starting out as a R&B saxophonist in the 1940s, Coleman chaired the “free” jazz revolution
on such albums as The Shape of Jazz to Come, Free Jazz and Ornette!
A mere decade after the revolution replaced the danceable beat of swing, Coleman took the daring step of
completely abandoning conventional harmonies. The result was an atonal(无调的) mixture of sound that expected
contemporary advances in Western art music while looking back to the earliest forms of New Orleans-style
collective improvisation(即兴演奏).
Coleman’s style sharply divided generations of jazz musicians and enthusiasts. For famous commenter Albert
Murray, “This music was called free jazz but what is freer than jazz? You can’t enjoy chaos.” Instead, 2007 Special
Citation winner John Coltrane was an early fan, often sitting in with Coleman before specially working in the field
after Ascension.
Throughout the 1970s, Coleman’s influence slowly sank into the underground rock scene, while
contemporaries like Archie Shepp employed the new form as a symbol for political expression and social justice.
Even though a series of awards would eventually end in the 2007 Pulitzer, Coleman never had a wonderful
moment similar to Coltrane’s My Favorite Things or Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew. He was in a league of his own
to the end.
Chronology, Variants on a Theme of Thelonious Monk. Skies of America, Times Square, Turnaround, the five
tracks offer an introduction to Coleman’s vast output while representing interesting differences with such forces as
eclectic bassist Charlie Haden, fellow Prize winner Gunther Schuller and New York’s famous 1970s music scene.
In this context, we can see Coleman for who he really was: a generously cooperative(合作的) force who
helped to lead the course of American music for six decades.

A．Times Square. B．Skies of America. C．My Favorite Things.D．The Shape of Jazz to Come.
6．What’s John Coltrane’s attitude towards Coleman’s style?
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Unconcerned. D．Objective.
7．Who won the same Prize as Coleman?
A．Gunther Schuller. B．Charlie Haden. C．Miles Davis. D．John Coltrane.
8．What can we know about Coleman?
A．He is a famous R&B saxophonist. B．He changed the danceable beat of swing.
C．He has a similar music style to Coltrane’s. D．He had a long-term influence on American music.
