  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • Sharing Economies and Affective Labour in Montréal's Kiki Scene
    SERVING EACH OTHER: SHARING ECONOMIES AND AFFECTIVE LABOUR IN MONTRÉAL’S KIKI SCENE by Jess D. Lundy A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Women’s and Gender Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, Jess D. Lundy Abstract Against a tense socio-political backdrop of white supremacy, intensifying pressures of neoliberal fiscal austerity, and queer necropolitics, this thesis addresses performance-based activist forms of place-making for urban-based queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of colour. Using participant observation and qualitative interviews with pioneering members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s emerging Waacking community and interpreting my findings through the theoretical lens of queer of colour theory, critical whiteness studies, queer Latinx performance studies and Chicana feminism, I argue that Kiki subculture, which is maintained by pedagogical processes of ‘each one, teach one’, is instrumental in facilitating i) life-affirming queer kinship bonds, (ii) alternative ways to simultaneously embody and celebrate non- normative gender expression with Black, Asian, and Latinx identity, iii) non-capitalist economies of sharing, and iv) hopeful strategies of everyday community activism and resilience to appropriative processes during economic insecurity and necropolitical turmoil. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s Waacking founder for their willingness to participate in this study despite the understandable reflex to safe-guard their own. Secondly, I extend my sincerest gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr. Dan Irving. Apart from disproving that you should never meet your heroes, Dr.

  • Aristocrat/Chess Records by Frank Daniels
    Aristocrat/Chess Records by Frank Daniels When Aristocrat Records began in early April, 1947, the firm had several partners. The label was going to feature all sorts of musicians – not just pop, or country, or jazz. By September they hired Leonard Chess to help sell their singles, and by the end of the year several of the partners had gone away. The musicians’ union strike in 1948 probably drove some of the others away, so that by 1949 Evelyn Aron and Leonard Chess were basically running the show by themselves. Aron joined Art Spiegel that year in forming American Distributing, and Phil Chess wound up joining Leonard. By spring, 1950, they were preparing for a name change to Chess Records. As if they were foretelling the future, some of the greatest artists on the label were in their blues stable – including the always- noteworthy Muddy Waters, the father of (modern) Chicago blues. Muddy had recorded unreleased material for Columbia and had just released one record for Ballen’s 20th Century label, the B-side of a single. That had been a primitive version of his song, “Mean Red Spider,” a record that would be rerecorded for Aristocrat. As soon as his first Aristocrat single hit (in February, 1948), Muddy was a blues legend. When Aristocrat morphed into Chess, right away he released the song that gave the Rolling Stones their name (7/15/50). Aristocrat Records had plenty of talent on the label, but their blues artists piqued the most interest, and these were the artists that Chess was most interested in promoting.
