    UC Irvine UC Irvine Previously Published Works Title Asian Americans and Creative Music Legacies Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7hf4q6w5 Journal Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, 1(3) Author Dessen, MJ Publication Date 2006 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol 1, No 3 (2006) Asian Americans and Creative Music Legacies Michael Dessen, Hampshire College Introduction Throughout the twentieth century, African American improvisers not only created innovative musical practices, but also—often despite staggering odds—helped shape the ideas and the economic infrastructures which surrounded their own artistic productions. Recent studies such as Eric Porter’s What is this Thing Called Jazz? have begun to document these musicians’ struggles to articulate their aesthetic philosophies, to support and educate their communities, to create new audiences, and to establish economic and cultural capital. Through studying these histories, we see new dimensions of these artists’ creativity and resourcefulness, and we also gain a richer understanding of the music. Both their larger goals and the forces working against them—most notably the powerful legacies of systemic racism—all come into sharper focus. As Porter’s book makes clear, African American musicians were active on these multiple fronts throughout the entire century. Yet during the 1960s, bolstered by the Civil Rights

  • Silenced but Not Silent: Asian Americans and Jazz Kevin Fellezs
    two ••• Silenced but Not Silent: Asian Americans and Jazz Kevin Fellezs In the early 1960s, a Japanese jazz pianist, composer, and big band f leader, Toshiko Akiyoshi, dressed in a traditional kimono, made an appearance on the television game show What’s My Line? The studio audience’s laughter when she signed her name on the guest board in Japanese kanji script, as well as the host’s stammering attempt to pronounce her name, revealed how unfamiliar mainstream American audiences were with Asians and Asian culture. Moreover, when she revealed her professional ‘‘line’’ as a jazz pianist to the studio and home viewing audience, the studio au- dience’s audible reactions indicated the discrepancy between ‘‘American jazz’’ and ‘‘Japanese woman.’’∞ This distance has not been erased in the roughly forty years since Akiyoshi’s appearance on the television show.≤ In a JazzTimes article in 2003, author Bill Shoemaker asks a central question about the con- tinued marginality of Asian American jazz musicians ‘‘even within enlightened jazz circles,’’ namely, ‘‘How [can one] change the American mindset about race and culture through the most American of art forms?’’≥ His question answers itself, in part, by glossing over what the phrase ‘‘the most American of art forms’’ articulates. A reworking of the question might get at the central predicament Asian American jazz musicians face in the cultural marketplace: how are Asian Americans ‘‘not’’ American and thus foreclosed from participa- tion in this form? From Alien Encounters by Nguyen, Mimi Thi. DOI: 10.1215/9780822389835 Duke University Press, 2007. All rights reserved. Downloaded 07 May 2016 02:24 at 128.59.222.12 I would like to spend a few moments with Shoemaker’s article as it suc- cinctly displays the problematic positionality of Asian American jazz artists in normative terms.

This is brilliant work.” – All Music Guide “The Golden Quartet is the closest thing to a standard jazz group that Wadada Leo Smith ever used to present his own music. …the music is lively, even explosive at time, yet still exquisitely balanced. …No other composer accommodates the independence of the individual and the unity of the ensemble in quite the way Smith does. …the collective sound always coheres into something purposeful and beautiful. Remarkably, the personalities and forces are kept in balance.”– Point of Departure “...a welcome reminder of Smith's continued importance in the continuum of creative improvised music.” – All About Jazz Lauded as “one of the most vital musicians on the planet” by Coda, Wadada Leo Smith is one of the most visionary, boldly original and artistically important figures in contemporary American jazz and free music, and one of the great trumpet players of our time.

  • Asian American Improv Movement
    1 Matthew Ka Git Wong Asian American Jazz Asians were imported to the United States during the 1830s, contracted as cheap laborers, and later became willing immigrants in search of work in the 1850s during the California Gold Rush. As the first Asian Americans began to emerge from the growing Asian population, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first law that prohibited immigration of an entire race.1 Thus beginning the years of fearing discrimination and deportation. Amnesty for immigrants under false names were not granted until the 1950s and still many feared being deported and kept under their false names through their whole lives. It was not until the 1960s that Asians began collectively fighting for their civil rights and inclusion, particularly in response to the Black Power and anti-Vietnam War movements.2 Yuji Ichioka, one of the first people to use the term “Asian American,” and along with Richard Aoki who served in the Black Panther Party, helped found the Asian American Political Alliance (AAPA) in 1968. During this time, we also see the rise in African American rights and the need for individualism and expression, resulting in the forming of the AACM in Chicago, Illinois, a group “founded by, led by, and created for African American artists.”3 In response to the growing Asian American community, activism, and identity, Jon Jang and Francis Wong, also saw a need for individualism and 1 J.

Poem by Fred Ho, inspired by Felix Torres I came of age in the early 1970s, on the tail end of what Amiri Baraka calls “the Roaring Sixties.” By 1970, I had entered my teens and my identity awakening began. As I have discussed in many previous articles, the black experience catalyzed my own self-awareness as a Chinese/Asian American. I came to identify with the black struggle in drawing parallels with my personal struggle for self-awareness and identity and for the strug- gle of Asian/yellow peoples as a whole in U.S. society to end racism, injus- tice, and inequality and to achieve self-respect, dignity, and liberation. Even as a teenager, I intuitively recognized that black American culture, particularly the arts, is inseparable from the dynamic of the black liberation struggle. In my youth, I sought to find a comparable connection between ● 141 142 ● Tribute to the Black Arts Movement the culture and arts of Asian Pacific Americans (APAs) with our liberation struggle for full equality and justice.
