Kcfringe2013online.Pdf WELCOME to FRINGE Welcome to the 9th annual Kansas City Fringe Festival! Thanks to our amazing group of over 200 volunteers we are able to produce the KC Fringe Festival — an eleven day celebration of all things art in Kansas City. The Board of Direc- tor and Committee of Operations includes more than 20 volunteers that work year round to make this Festival happen. All of these volunteers I consider family — the Fringe Family. A growing community that comes together to work, support and promote artists of all genres. Here in KC we host one of the most diverse Fringes in existence. We provide space for ANY artist of ANY genre to present their work — as long as we have room for them! The KC Fringe Festival continues to get bigger and better each year. This year the Festival presents 134 art- ists/groups performing 363 shows along with the Fruck! (That’s the Fringe Art Truck) We have developed a diverse and huge audience that continues to grow each year. KC Fringe has truly become Kansas City’s Premiere Arts Festival and is a key component of Kansas City’s grow- ing reputation as America’s Creative Crossroads. I trust that most of you know that the Fringe is an unjuried, uncensored arts Festival and therefore unpredictable! We pro- vide artists the freedom to explore and experiment, freedom to develop without predetermined outcomes, freedom to chal- lenge assumptions and freedom to take a creative leap that will shape our world in years to come. We thank our Strategic Partners — Samuel Bennett with the William T Kemper Foundation, Commerce Bank, Trustee, RareWire and VML Inc. whose generous support and creative collaboration has allowed us to present the Festival and all things Fringe in a new way with the iOS and Android app. Myself and our entire Fringe Family invites you to join us in exploring KC Fringe Festival 2013!

    Institute for Studies In American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York NEWSLETTER Volume XXXIV, No. 2 Spring 2005 Jungle Jive: Jazz was an integral element in the sound and appearance of animated cartoons produced in Race, Jazz, Hollywood from the late 1920s through the late 1950s.1 Everything from big band to free jazz and Cartoons has been featured in cartoons, either as the by soundtrack to a story or the basis for one. The studio run by the Fleischer brothers took an Daniel Goldmark unusual approach to jazz in the late 1920s and the 1930s, treating it not as background but as a musical genre deserving of recognition. Instead of using jazz idioms merely to color the musical score, their cartoons featured popular songs by prominent recording artists. Fleischer was a well- known studio in the 1920s, perhaps most famous Louis Armstrong in the jazz cartoon I’ll Be Glad When for pioneering the sing-along cartoon with the You’ re Dead, You Rascal You (Fleischer, 1932) bouncing ball in Song Car-Tunes. An added attraction to Fleischer cartoons was that Paramount Pictures, their distributor and parent company, allowed the Fleischers to use its newsreel recording facilities, where they were permitted to film famous performers scheduled to appear in Paramount shorts and films.2 Thus, a wide variety of musicians, including Ethel Merman, Rudy Vallee, the Mills Brothers, Gus Edwards, the Boswell Sisters, Cab Calloway, and Louis Armstrong, began appearing in Fleischer cartoons. This arrangement benefited both the studios and the stars.

  • 1 Improvising Social Resistance Karl Coulthard Vocalist and Bandleader
    Improvising Social Resistance Karl Coulthard Vocalist and bandleader Cab Calloway is a figure who has been largely ignored in many historical and critical analyses of the development of jazz, often dismissed by music scholars as little more than a “novelty act”: “Calloway was a braying wild-man who pandered to the masses” (Quaglieri 9). There certainly was a strong sensational aspect to Calloway’s performances, including his hilarious and technically astounding vocal histrionics and the bizarre and gaudy “zoot suits” that he would wear while running and jumping about the stage like a clown. Sadly, on account of these performance elements and the subject matter of many of his early songs, which deal with the street life and drug culture of Harlem and often present comedic images of stoned “Negroes,” Calloway has often been perceived as merely a pawn of white interests, one who willfully exhibited laughable and demeaning stereotypes of African Americans for the sake of his own commercial success. Such an interpretation does Calloway a great disservice as an artist and fails to recognize the complexities contained both within the lyrics and the performances of many of his songs. Most of the lyrics to his songs are written in the language of “jive,” a dialect that originated among black musicians in Harlem in the 1920s and the early 1930s and which functioned as a kind of code by which the musicians could covertly communicate amongst each other. Similarly, Calloway’s ostentatious stage persona is very representative of what Houston Baker describes in Modernism and the Harlem Renaissance as the “minstrel mask,” a facade designed to provide the white populace 1 with “reassuring sounds from the black quarters” (30).

He was strongly associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, New York City, where he was a regular performer. Calloway was a master of energetic scat singing and led one of the United States' most popular big bands from the start of the 1930s through to the late 1940s. Calloway's band featured performers including trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon "Chu" Berry, New Orleans guitar ace Danny Barker, and bassist Milt Hinton. Calloway continued to perform until his death in 1994 at the age of 86. Biography Early years Calloway was born in Rochester, New York, on Christmas Day in 1907. The family relocated to Baltimore, Maryland. His mother, Martha Eulalia Reed, was a Morgan State College graduate, teacher and church organist. His father, Cabell Calloway, Jr., was a graduate of Lincoln University of Pennsylvania in 1898 and worked as a lawyer and in real estate. Cab Calloway spent his adolescent years growing up in West Baltimore's Sugar Hill, considered the political, cultural, and business hub of black society. There he grew up comfortably in a middle-class household. Early on, his parents recognized their son's musical talent and he began private voice lessons in 1922.

    KANSAS CITY GOES TO THE MOVIES From watching movies to making movies – Kansas City has done it all KANSAS CITY GOES TO THE MOVIES From watching movies to making movies – Kansas City has done it all Kansas City has enjoyed a rich and rewarding relationship with the movies ever since motion pictures were introduced around the turn of the twentieth century. From the 1897 showing of three short films at the Coates Opera House1 to the megaplex theaters that dot the metropolis today, Kansas Citians have embraced the movies. The city and its history have been portrayed in films like Kansas Citian native Robert Altman’s Kansas City (1996) and Ang Lee’s Civil War historical drama, Ride With The Devil (1999). Today, filmmakers to come to the nation’s heartland to screen their movies to audiences before they open across the nation, while the Kansas City Film Commission strives to bring new business to the region by encouraging filmmakers to take advantage of local locations and talent by shooting their films here in the first place.2 Movies are glamour, hard work, compelling stories, and big business. And throughout the years, Kansas City has had its fair share of all of these. MOTION PICTURES – POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT AND CITY PROMOTION At the turn of the 19th century, live performances and vaudeville were big draws in theatres across the nation. That began to change with the advent of the motion picture. When the Coates Opera House showed “The Black Diamond Express,” and two other short films by the Lumieres Cinematography Co.
