  • Allan Browne & Richard Miller
    ALLAN BROWNE & RICHARD MILLER: MODERNISTS & TRADITIONALISTS Interviewed by Adrian Jackson* __________________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the Winter/Spring 1986 edition of Jazz Magazine.] rummer Allan Browne and saxophonist-clarinettist Richard Miller have been making music together for more than 20 years now. Their partnership began D in 1965 when Miller joined the Red Onion Jazz Band, led by Browne and still remembered as the most successful Australian jazz band of its time. None of their records is currently available, but a cassette (Anteater 002) which contains excerpts from some of the band’s early EPs, plus a recording from a concert in Warsaw in 1967, shows that the band’s reputation was founded on real musical qualities. Many of those qualities were re-captured when the band staged a couple of sell-out reunions at the Limerick Arms Hotel in 1984. The members of the quartet Onaje, L-R, Gary Costello, Bob Sedergreen, Richard Miller, Allan Browne… Since mid-1985, the pair have also displayed their mastery of traditional jazz in the Allan Browne Jazz Band, which plays every Thursday night at the Emerald Hotel in South Melbourne. The other members of that band are trumpeter Peter Gaudion, __________________________________________________________ *In 1986 when this was published, Adrian Jackson was a freelance writer, who had been jazz critic with the Melbourne Age since 1978. 1 Richard Miller (left) and Allan Browne, outside the Limerick Arms Hotel… PHOTO COURTESY AUSTRALIAN JAZZ MUSEUM trombonjst Bill Howard, clarinettist Fred Parkes, bassist Leon Heale and guitarist- banjoist John Scurry; Browne’s wife, Margie, occasionally adds vocals or piano.

  • Music Traditional Jazz Educators Network Resources
    A Traditional Jazz Style Guide by Dave Robinson Foreword For the past 25 years I have been collecting, performing, arranging, teaching, broadcasting and writing about my first musical love, TRADITIONAL JAZZ (aka dixieland, classic jazz, vintage jazz, New Orleans jazz, etc.). This music is frequently misunderstood, and even knowledgeable fans, collectors and musicians disagree on terminology and stylistic divisions. This document presents my view of the most logical stylistic categories of traditional jazz. It is presented as informed opinion, not dogma, and your commentary is welcome. It is hoped that jazz educators will find this guide useful, and that directors of youth ensembles specializing in traditional jazz will make an effort to instill in their bandmembers an understanding of and proficiency in the full spectrum of "flavors" available to them. Towards a Definition of Traditional Jazz Before dividing this pie into logical pieces, we should describe the pie itself. What is "traditional jazz"? What are the common denominators that define it? In my view, "traditional jazz" in the proper sense of the term is jazz which exhibits all or most of the following characteristics: 1) Wind instruments playing polyphonically 2) Easily discernible chord patterns 3) 2/4 or 4/4 meter 4) Instrumentation approximating the following: "FRONT LINE" (HORNS): 1. Trumpet or cornet 2. Clarinet or soprano sax 3. Trombone 4. Tenor, alto or bary sax (sometimes) --or a subset of these RHYTHM SECTION: 1. Piano 2. Banjo or guitar 3. Tuba, string bass or bass sax 4. Drums or washboard --or a subset of these 5) Pre-bop harmonies and phrasing (the earlier the musical vocabulary employed, the greater the compliance to this part of our definition) The single most distinguishing characteristic of traditional jazz is the first element above--the wind instruments playing polyphonically (a New Orleans tradition).

  • Beatles History – Part One: 1956–1964
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART ONE: 1956–1964 January 1956–June 1957: The ‘Skiffle Craze’ In January 1956, Lonnie Donegan’s recording of “Rock Island Line” stormed into the British hit parade and started what would become known as the ‘skiffle craze’ in Great Britain (vgl. McDevitt 1997: 3). Skiffle was originally an amateur jazz style comprising elements of blues, gospel, and work songs. The instrumentation resembled New Or- leans street bands called ‘spasms,’ which relied on home-made instru- ments. Before skiffle was first professionally recorded by American jazz musicians in the 1920s and 1930s, it had been performed at ‘rent parties’ in North American cities like Chicago and Kansas City. Many African- American migrant workers organized rent parties in order to raise money for their monthly payments (vgl. Garry 1997: 87). Skiffle provided the musical entertainment at these parties, as everybody was able to partici- pate in the band, which usually consisted of home-made acoustic guitars or a piano backed by a rhythm section of household instruments, such as a washboard, a washtub bass, and a jug (vgl. McDevitt 1997:16). Jazz trumpeter and guitarist Ken Colyer pioneered the skiffle scene in Great Britain. In 1949, he formed the Crane River Jazz Band in Cran- ford, Middlesex, together with Ben Marshall (guitar), Pat Hawes (wash- board), and Julian Davies (bass). Their repertoire included skiffle songs “to illustrate aspects of the roots of jazz and to add variety to a pro- gramme” (Dewe 1998: 4). After leaving the group in 1951, Colyer mi- grated to the United States to work with jazz musicians in New Orleans.

G Includes the American jazz and folk artists who influenced Skiffle... and some Skifflers from Europe... plus, of course, the UK's finest! G Skiffle wasn't rock 'n' roll, but it influenced a generation of '60s British beat artists. The Beatles, the Who, the Kinks, Jimmy Page, and many more began in Skiffle groups.

INFORMATION This six-CD set is a full, long overdue anthology of the music and musicians who created Skiffle. From the African American fo- rebears of the 1920s and '30s like The Memphis Jug Band and Lead Belly to the fountainhead of Skiffle in the UK, Ken Colyer, this collection includes anthems like Down By The Riverside and Midnight Special. And then came Lonnie Donegan! The undis- puted King of Skiffle is represented by hits like Cumberland Gap, Rock Island Line, Puttin' On The Style, and Gamblin' Man as well as lesser known songs like Light From The Lighthouse and The Goldrush Is Over.
