Il était ce que l’on appelle un “A & R mari pour Swing Time. C’était lui qui avait en charge tout ce qui concernait l’aspect proprement musical de l’entreprise. C’était donc lui qui me trouvait les chansons qu’il me proposait d’enregistrer. Il commençait par me les jouer au piano, ensuite il supervisait les répétitions et les séances d’enregistrement. » Interview de Rav Charles par Joël Dufour, Soul Bag n°117 (1989).

AGATE (To shoot the) Marcher de façon sophistiquée, rouler le but, de façon à en mettre plein la vue (voir walk that walk) : «You should have seen one of those sports* move down the street, his shirt busted open so that you could discern his red* flannel undershirt, walking along with a very mosey walk they had adopted from the river, called “shooting the agate”. When you shoot the agate, your hands is at your sides with your fingers stuck out and you kind of stmts* with it. That was considered a big thing with some of the illiterate women — if you could shoot a good agate and had a nice highclass red undershirt with the collar turned up, I’m telling you were liable to get next to that broad. She liked that very much. » Jelly Roll Morton, cité par Alan Lomax dans Mister Jelly Roll.

  • Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance
    Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City By Lance Russell Owen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Johns, Chair Professor Paul Groth Professor Margaret Crawford Professor Louise Mozingo Fall 2016 Abstract Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance Russell Owen Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Johns, Chair Between the World Wars, Kansas City, Missouri, achieved what no American city ever had, earning a Janus-faced reputation as America’s most beautiful and most corrupt and crime-ridden city. Delving into politics, architecture, social life, and artistic production, this dissertation explores the geographic realities of this peculiar identity. It illuminates the contours of the city’s two figurative territories: the corrupt and violent urban core presided over by political boss Tom Pendergast, and the pristine suburban world shaped by developer J. C. Nichols. It considers the ways in which these seemingly divergent regimes in fact shaped together the city’s most iconic features—its Country Club District and Plaza, a unique brand of jazz, a seemingly sophisticated aesthetic legacy written in boulevards and fine art, and a landscape of vice whose relative scale was unrivalled by that of any other American city. Finally, it elucidates the reality that, by sustaining these two worlds in one metropolis, America’s heartland city also sowed the seeds of its own destruction; with its cultural economy tied to political corruption and organized crime, its pristine suburban fabric woven from prejudice and exclusion, and its aspirations for urban greatness weighed down by provincial mindsets and mannerisms, Kansas City’s time in the limelight would be short lived.

  • The Ultimate Complete Michael Bloomfield Discography
    The Ultimate Complete Michael Bloomfield Discography Photo ©: Mike Shea/Patrick Shea Michael Bloomfield December 7, 1964 “The music you listen to becomes the soundtrack of your life....” Michael Bloomfield Feb. 13, 1981 Compiled by René Aagaard, Aalekaeret 13, DK-3450 Alleroed, Denmark – [email protected] www.the-discographer.dk - Copyright September 2015 Version 10 Michael Bernard Bloomfield was born July 28, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois and was found dead in his car in San Francisco, California on February 15, 1981. Between these dates he made a lasting impression on the world of music. Today he is still considered one of the greatest and most influential white guitarists from the USA. He learned by listening to all the great black musicians that played Chicago in the ’50s and early ’60s - people like Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams, Sleepy John Estes and many more. He was always eager to join them on stage and made quite a name for himself. He also played with many white musicians his own age, like Barry Goldberg, Charlie Musselwhite, Nick Gravenites and whoever toured Chicago. In the early ’60s, barely 20 years old, he was the musical director of a Chicago blues club called The Fickle Pickle. Here he hired many of the old, black blues legends, and he treated them so well that Big Joe Williams even mentions him in a song about the club, “Pick a Pickle”. In 1964 Michael Bloomfield was “discovered” by legendary producer John Hammond, Sr., who went to Chicago to hear and record Bloomfield, and then invited him to New York to audition for Columbia Records.

Around 1912 the world was experiencing a Tango dance craze. This craze sweep New Orleans and soon there was a part of the French Quarter that one newspaper reporter, in the part bordering Rampart Street of the Quarter, began calling it “The Tango Belt” with the concentration of halls, cabarets, saloons, restaurants and café centering around the 'unofficial' boundaries of Canal, Rampart, St. Peters and Rampart Streets. Other clubs around the nearby vicinity were also included in this distinction. Articles give other boundaries, but it is in the general area of the upper French quarter and still are considered 'in the District' along with Storyville. There were many places of entertainment within the 'district' (Storyville and the Tango Belt) The Blue Book listed 9 cabarets, four of them-two for whites and two for colored, were not within the boundaries of Storyville: Casino Cabaret (white) 1400 Iberville Street Union Cabaret (white) 135 n.
