  • Dr. Michael White: Biography
    DR. MICHAEL WHITE: BIOGRAPHY Dr. Michael White is among the most visible and important New Orleans musicians today. He is one of only a few of today’s native New Orleans born artists to continue the authentic traditional jazz style. Dr. White is noted for his classic New Orleans jazz clarinet sound, for leading several popular bands, and for his many efforts to preserve and extend the early jazz tradition. Dr. White is a relative of early generation jazz musicians, including bassist Papa John Joseph, clarinetist Willie Joseph, and saxophonist and clarinetist Earl Fouche. White played in St Augustine High School’s acclaimed Marching 100 and Symphonic bands and had several years of private clarinet lessons from the band’s director, Edwin Hampton. He finished magna cum laude from Xavier University of Louisiana with a degree in foreign language education. He received a masters and a doctorate in Spanish from Tulane University. White began teaching Spanish at Xavier University in 1980 and also African American Music History since 1987. Since 2001 he has held the Charles and Rosa Keller Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Xavier. He is the founding director of Xavier’s Culture of New Orleans Series, which highlights the city’s unique culture in programs that combine scholars, authentic practitioners, and live performances. White is also a jazz historian, producer, lecturer, and consultant. He has developed and performed many jazz history themed programs. He has written and published numerous essays in books, journals, and other publications. For the last several years he has been a guest coach at the Juilliard Music School (Juilliard Jazz).

  • William Russell: Jazz Lover, Collector, and Musicologist an Annotated Bibliography
    William Russell: Jazz Lover, Collector, Musicologist An Annotated Bibliography Ben Wagner Born Russell William Wagner in 1905, William (Bill) Russell was a violinist; an avant-garde composer deeply interested in percussion; accompanist to a touring puppet troupe; a meticulous musical-instrument repairman; a jazz-record producer; an archivist; a writer; and, above all, a New Orleans jazz collector of extraordinary breadth. More than anything else, he simply loved classic New Orleans–style jazz, which he called the “best music I’d ever heard.”1 He sought out obscure, old-time jazz players and was instrumental in the revival of the career of Bunk Johnson. Russell privately showed many kindnesses to jazz musicians down on their luck, encouraging their careers. In an age of segregation, Russell had many close associations with African Americans, organizing recording sessions in houses and rented halls because blacks were not allowed in New Orleans recording studios, nor could they play openly with white musicians. He did much to document and advocate New Orleans as the true birthplace of jazz. Although there were some inaccuracies in his early writings—and the debate continues about the many-faceted origins of American jazz—Russell’s overall analysis has stood up well against later scholarship. He certainly was one of the first to note the importance of place in the development of jazz. From the early 1930s to the end of his life, Russell acquired and documented anything he could find related to jazz: oral-history recordings and transcripts, jam-session recordings, musical instruments, photographs, programs, postcards, ads, city guidebooks, correspondence, sheet music, magazines.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.

    NEW ORLEANS JAZZ TOUR (#2) RIDE THE CANAL STREET/ALGIERS POINT FERRY FROM THE FRENCH QUARTER ACROSS THE MIGHTY MISSISSPPI RIVER TO HISTORIC ALGIERS, “THE BROOKLYN OF THE SOUTH” TAKE A FREE SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR, AND VISIT THE FORMER HOMES OF ALGIERS’ JAZZ MUSICIANS, THE VENUES THEY PLAYED IN, AND THE ROBERT E. NIMS JAZZ WALK OF FAME, AND GET THE BEST VIEW OF NEW ORLEANS’ SKYLINE COPYRIGHT © 2016, KEVIN HERRIDGE www.risingsunbnb.com Jazz musicians of the 1920s referred to Algiers as “over da river” or the “Brooklyn of the South,” the latter for its proximity to New Orleans as compared to New York and Brooklyn, both separated by a river. This tour straddles the Algiers Point and Algiers Riverview neighborhoods, both integral parts of historic Algiers, and both having a long, rich history of African American, French, Spanish, German, Irish, and Italian/Sicilian residents. This was the site of the slave holding areas, newly arrived from Africa, and the powder magazine of the early 18th century. John McDONOGH, the richest man in New Orleans, lived here. The earliest account of music on the West Bank is to be found here. The Riverview area contains many African American churches, and some have over one hundred-year histories, one of which was the scene in days gone by of the fiery sermons of “Black Billy Sunday,” and many Jazz funerals, held for musicians, and benevolent society members. Several of the local musicians are interred in the nearby St. Bartholomew, St. Mary, and McDonogh cemeteries. Some of the earliest brass bands that influenced the birth of Jazz, including the Pickwick, the Excelsior, and the Pacific, employed Algiers’ musicians.

During that period, the music has inspired a range of attitudes, from rebellious affirmation to pernicious abnegation. In the course of this vacillating response, the nation has simultaneously experienced a I revolution in social and cultural mores, involving in many cases a total inversion of the values by which it lives. Jazz, along with kindred musical developments to which it has a precursive relationship, supplied the musical theme for this incredible I saga.

  • Oct. Newsletter.Indd
    NEWSLETTER NEWSLETTER APRIL 2014 GEORGE H. BUCK JR. George Buck at the Microphone In my favorite photograph of George Buck he is sitting in front of a microphone emblazoned with the letters WWOD. Perfectly dressed in jacket and tie, he smiles broadly, his hair shiny with brilliantine. George looks so young in this photo that you might think it was some sort of gag, taken during a high school fi eld trip. But it wasn’t a gag. While George is best known for his devotion to and promotion of Jazz, he had an equal ardor for the medium which fi rst introduced him to it: radio. WWOD was the Mutual Broadcasting affi liate in Lynchburg, Virginia, where George attended college. He delighted in telling the story of his parents driving him the 400-or-so miles from their home in Elizabeth, New Jersey to Lynchburg. The trio arrived in town that day just before Rudi Blesh’s weekly broadcast “This is Jazz” was scheduled to begin. “This Is Jazz” was a Mutual pro- gram fi rst aired in January of 1947 and, as George would remember, “broadcast coast to coast for thirty-fi ve grand and glorious weeks.” The Blesh show featured a house band comprised of the jazz stars of the day (including, of course, Wild Bill Davison) who, often abetted by guests like Sidney Bechet and Louis Armstrong, would essay in the hot jazz manner for half-an-hour. The Buck family car was not equipped with a radio, so a teen-aged George convinced his folks to drop him off at a radio repair shop in Lynchburg’s black section so that he could listen in.

This is the essence of academic painting. However, there is no such thing as a good painting about nothing.”…Mark Rothko It has been one year since we last published a large catalogue devoted to our vast inventories touching upon our passion for Post-War and modern works of art. When you peruse the following pages please pause a moment and realize that each work of art on each page has a backstory. When and where was it created? Where did it go after its creation and to whom? Over the years of its initial acquisition who lived with it and who viewed it? Was it loaned to exhibitions or museums? Has it traded hands only once or numerous times and eventually how did we acquire it? Well… all of the above are wonderfully curious questions one doesn’t generally think about, but in my life it is all I think about. The backstories and future of all these great works of art have finally come home to me. As times change, we continue to keep reinventing ourselves. Our growth as well as our desire to learn is paramount in keeping us current.
