  • INTRODUCTION: BLUE NOTES TOWARD a NEW JAZZ DISCOURSE I. Authority and Authenticity in Jazz Historiography Most Books and Article
    INTRODUCTION: BLUE NOTES TOWARD A NEW JAZZ DISCOURSE MARK OSTEEN, LOYOLA COLLEGE I. Authority and Authenticity in Jazz Historiography Most books and articles with "jazz" in the title are not simply about music. Instead, their authors generally use jazz music to investigate or promulgate ideas about politics or race (e.g., that jazz exemplifies democratic or American values,* or that jazz epitomizes the history of twentieth-century African Americans); to illustrate a philosophy of art (either a Modernist one or a Romantic one); or to celebrate the music as an expression of broader human traits such as conversa- tion, flexibility, and hybridity (here "improvisation" is generally the touchstone). These explorations of the broader cultural meanings of jazz constitute what is being touted as the New Jazz Studies. This proliferation of the meanings of "jazz" is not a bad thing, and in any case it is probably inevitable, for jazz has been employed as an emblem of every- thing but mere music almost since its inception. As Lawrence Levine demon- strates, in its formative years jazz—with its vitality, its sexual charge, its use of new technologies of reproduction, its sheer noisiness—was for many Americans a symbol of modernity itself (433). It was scandalous, lowdown, classless, obscene, but it was also joyous, irrepressible, and unpretentious. The music was a battlefield on which the forces seeking to preserve European high culture met the upstarts of popular culture who celebrated innovation, speed, and novelty. It 'Crouch writes: "the demands on and respect for the individual in the jazz band put democracy into aesthetic action" (161).

  • Second Novel No End: an Open Letter to Ralph Ellison
    Second Novel No End 175 Second Novel No End: An Open Letter to Ralph Ellison Horace Porter March 8, 20141 Skirvin Hotel Oklahoma City Dear Ralph, I’ve arrived in Oklahoma City for the first time. I’m recalling how you and I talked about Oklahoma City the first time I visited you and Fanny at your Harlem apartment. I was twenty-six and a graduate student at Yale. I wrote you a letter during the fall of 1976. I received your reply just before Christmas—a long eloquent letter—a special Christmas gift indeed. The letter, which I still treasure, has evidence of your characteristic style and wit: “once I shocked a white man whose shoes I was shining by revealing that I was familiar with Freud’s theory of dreams, but neither of us was prepared to communicate on that level, for it would have placed too great a strain on the arrangements of social hierarchy—and on the two of us!”2 You suggested that I come to see you. On Friday, February 17, 1977, I visited you and Fanny. I’ve already written about that special day.3 Suffice it to say on this occasion that it was an unforgettable and inspiring afternoon. Now thirty-seven years later, I’m standing here in Oklahoma City’s Skirvin Hotel, where you worked as a teenager. I’m reading this open letter to you at a conference and symposium dedicated to your work. We’re also celebrating your 0026-3079/2015/5403-175$2.50/0 American Studies, 54:3 (2015): 175-184 175 176 Horace Porter hundredth birthday.

FROM BIRTH TO DEATH OF COOL by Brandon Theriault An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Lee Honors College of Western Michigan University April, 2009 INTRODUCTION "Miles Davis was a bad dude. He was one of the baddest men in jazz... baddest jazzman ever." -Alvin Jones. Who is Alvin Jones? Alvin Jones is the man I just met outside of the Bernhard Center on Western Michigan University's campus in Kalamzoo, MI. I have been laboring over my honors thesis for months now; I am approaching its completion and was at a loss for a way to start the piece. As Alvin Jones stumbled up to me panhandling for a cigarette I could not help but notice his physical similarity to Miles. He looked to be approaching 65, white whiskers sparsely covering his face and making appearances throughout his eyebrows. He was slender, taller than average, and had exaggerated facial features; large luminous eyes, long eyelashes and high cheekbones.

  • Charlie Parker's Sax Oakland , California
    EPISODE 11,2004: CHARLIE PARKER’S SAX OAKLAND , CALIFORNIA Gwen: Our first story illuminates the inspiring yet tragic life of a true American original. It’s the late 1940S. In the smoky nightclubs of New York City’s 52nd Street, one man is pushing the limits of music, developing a fiercely original approach to playing jazz. Rejecting the traditional chord changes used by most contemporary musicians, saxophonist Charlie Parker is helping create a new improvisational style known as bebop. Almost immediately, bebop becomes one of America’s most important and successful artistic movements and changes the face of jazz forever. Wes: 60 years later, we’ve heard a story about an old saxophone that, if true, could shed new light on the remarkable life of the man who became known as “bird.” this saxophone is now in the possession of Jennifer Hood of Oakland, California. But according to a family legend, it once belonged to Charlie Parker. Jennifer Hood: My father, who ended up becoming a pretty famous jazz musician -- he played with Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn, bunch of other people -- he told me this amazing story about how he ended up getting this sax one day when Charlie Parker and he were working a club together, a nightclub in Portland. This was way, way early in his career. And Charlie Parker comes to the gig one night minus his horn and dad says, well, where’s your horn? And Charlie says, well, I pawned it. And he says, are you nuts? This is your right arm.

  • Walter Blanding, Soprano and Tenor Saxophones; Carlos Henriquez, Bass; Ali Jackson, Jr., Drums; Dan Nimmer, Piano; Jennifer Sanon, Vocals
    226 Media Reviews From the Plantation to the Penitentiary. Wynton Marsalis. Wynton Marsalis, trumpet and vocals; Walter Blanding, soprano and tenor saxophones; Carlos Henriquez, bass; Ali Jackson, Jr., drums; Dan Nimmer, piano; Jennifer Sanon, vocals. Liner notes by Stanley Crouch. 2007. Blue Note Records 73675. $18.98. It is difficult to approach Wynton Marsalis’s new album, From the Plantation to the Penitentiary, with an open mind. For over two decades the trumpeter has been a polarizing figure at the center of various debates over jazz’s musical identity and cultural meanings.6 Along the way he has composed several overtly political historically-oriented works, including Black Codes from the Underground (1985), All Rise (1999), and the Pulitzer prize-winning oratorio Blood on the Fields (1994). This latest contribution, a sweeping critique of contemporary African American culture and moral values cast in the form of an hour-long cycle of original music, is to date his boldest endeavor to address present-day concerns directly. Marsalis is controversial not simply because he has never had qualms about expressing aesthetic and political views that are not shared by much of jazz’s critical establishment, or for that matter by many of his fellow musicians, but because as founding artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center he has, since the late 1980s, become an influential cultural arbiter.7 (That he acquired this position for reasons having as much to do with his being the leading classical trumpeter of his generation as with his accomplishments in jazz has also left lingering questions about his artistic credentials to oversee a high-profile jazz institution.) In a nutshell, Marsalis defines jazz as a music grounded in blues and swing that embodies universal moral and ethical values such as the individual self-discipline needed to exercise freedom within a collective, coherently structured environment.
