MARIAN McPARTLAND NEA Jazz Master (2000) Interviewee: Marian McPartland (March 20, 1918 – August 20, 2013) Interviewer: James Williams (March 8, 1951- July 20, 2004) Date: January 3–4, 1997, and May 26, 1998 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 178 pp. WILLIAMS: Today is January 3rd, nineteen hundred and ninety-seven, and we’re in the home of Marian McPartland in Port Washington, New York. This is an interview for the Smithsonian Institute Jazz Oral History Program. My name is James Williams, and Matt Watson is our sound engineer. All right, Marian, thank you very much for participating in this project, and for the record . McPARTLAND: Delighted. WILLIAMS: Great. And, for the record, would you please state your given name, date of birth, and your place of birth. McPARTLAND: Oh, God!, you have to have that. That’s terrible. WILLIAMS: [laughs] McPARTLAND: Margaret Marian McPartland. March 20th, 1918. There. Just don’t spread it around. Oh, and place of birth. Slough, Buckinghamshire, England.

  • History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone Black Artists
    HISTORY OF JAZZ TENOR SAXOPHONE BLACK ARTISTS 1940 – 1944 SIMPLIFIED EDITION INTRODUCTION UPDATE SIMPLIFIED EDITION I have decided not to put on internet the ‘red’ Volume 3 in my Jazz Solography series on “The History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone – Black Artists 1940 – 1944”. Quite a lot of the main performers already have their own Jazz Archeology files. This volume will only have the remainders, and also auxiliary material like status reports, chronology, summing ups, statistics, etc. are removed, to appear later in another context. This will give better focus on the many good artists who nevertheless not belong to the most important ones. Jan Evensmo June 22, 2015 INTRODUCTION ORIGINAL EDITION What is there to say? That the period 1940 - 1944 is a most exciting one, presenting the tenorsax giants of the swing era in their prime, while at the same time introducing the young, talented modern innovators. That this is the last volume with no doubt about the contents, we know what is jazz and what is not. Later it will not be that easy! That the recording activities grow decade by decade, thus this volume is substantially thicker than the previous ones. Just wait until Vol. 4 appears ... That the existence of the numerous AFRS programs partly compensates for the unfortunate recording ban of 1943. That there must be a lot of material around not yet generally available and thus not listed in this book. Please help building up our jazz knowledge base, and share your treasures with the rest of us. That we should remember and be eternally grateful to the late Jerry Newman, whose recording activities at Minton's and Monroe's have given us valuable insight into the developments of modern jazz.

  • THE INFLUENCE of BIX BEIDERBECKE – VOLUME ONE: USA by Max Easterman Even Though It Became Known As “The Jazz Age”, Real Ja
    THE INFLUENCE OF BIX BEIDERBECKE – VOLUME ONE: USA By Max Easterman Even though it became known as “The Jazz Age”, real jazz was rarely popular in its own right during the 1920s, as witness the rarity of many of the finest jazz recordings from this era. Jazzmen – particularly white jazzmen – made much more money and often won greater fame using it to pep up dance music than they ever did making pure jazz recordings, though, of course, it’s by the jazz they played on records that we now judge their worth. Such is the distorting mirror of history! Of course, to the general public of the time, arranged dance music played with a rhythmic bounce and offering the occasional jazz-like solo was what they thought of as “jazz”. Two recordings suffice to illustrate the point. The recording of Paul Whiteman’s Back In Your Own Backyard , issued in March 1928, sold 88,000 copies; Bix’s recording of Somebody Stole My Gal , recorded a few weeks later, made sales of only 2400. The first is a highly arranged dance band recording containing just two short solos by Bix; the latter is a romping jazz gem, on which Bix flies like a bird throughout and inspires his fellows to greater things than they knew they were capable of. Bix was a legend in his lifetime for the men who played with him, or listened to him and tried to play like him. But for the general public, who bought the discs, he was just another name, a name which only became significant, for some of them, long after his death.

Nov. 5, 1954 Introduction: Hot Lips Page was for unknown reasons rather marginally recognized in my Oslo Jazz Circle upbringing, and only later I opened my ears to his fine trumpet playing! Dan Morgenstern’s various liner notes helped a lot too! History: First music lessons from his mother, a former school-teacher. Early efforts on clarinet and saxophone, specialised on trumpet from the age of 12. Joined kids’ band led by bass drummer Lux Alexander. Left music temporarily, attended high school in Corsicana,Texas, left to do manual work in Seminole oil fields in Texas. Became regular member of band accompanying Ma Ra iney, made first visit to New York with Ma Rainey for bookings at the Lincoln Theatre. Worked with a T.O.B.A. circuit touring band, accompanied Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, etc. Joined Troy Floyd Band in San Antonio, also worked in Texas with Sugar Lou and Eddie’s Hotel Tyler Band. Was heard with this band by bassist Walter Page (no relation) and subsequently joined the Blue Devils band early in 1928. Left the band in 1930 to join Bennie Moten’s band, worked mainly with Moten until 1935, after that leader’s death (April 1935) led own quintet in and around Kansas City. Worked as a specialty act with Count Basie at the Reno Club, Kansas City (1936), was signed by manager Joe Glaser and moved to New York.
