    Paper for B(&N

    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 9 • No. 9 • September 2019 doi:10.30845/ijhss.v9n9p4 Biographies of Two African American Women in Religious Music: Clara Ward and Rosetta Tharpe Nana A. Amoah-Ramey Ph.D. Indiana University Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies College of Arts and Sciences Ballantine Hall 678 Bloomington IN, 47405, USA Abstract This paper‟s focus is to compare the lives, times and musical professions of two prominent African American women— Clara Ward and Rosetta Thorpe — in religious music. The study addresses the musical careers of both women and shows challenges that they worked hard to overcome, and how their relationship with other musicians and the public helped to steer their careers by making them important figures in African American gospel and religious music. In pursuing this objective, I relied on manuscripts, narratives, newspaper clippings, and published source materials. Results of the study points to commonalities or similarities between them. In particular, their lives go a long way to confirm the important contributions they made to religious music of their day and even today. Keywords: African American Gospel and Religious Music, Women, Gender, Liberation, Empowerment Overview This paper is structured as follows: It begins with a brief discussion of the historical background of gospel and sacred music. This is followed by an examination of the musical careers of Clara Ward and Rosetta Thorpe with particular attention to the challenges they faced and the strategies they employed to overcome such challenges; and by so doing becoming major figures performing this genre (gospel and sacred music) of music.
  • History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone Black Artists

    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.

    FREDDIE WEBSTER (Tp) 1916-1947

    “the trumpeter with the most beautiful sound ever” FREDDIE WEBSTER (tp) 1916-1947 by Mario Schneeberger first issue. 2003/02/05 last update: 2014/02/15 Preface Having learned of Freddie Webster’s fame as the trumpeter with the most beautiful sound ever, my appetite was whetted. I started to collect his records and presented him at the Jazz Circle Basel in 1992. Meanwhile more material has become available to me. This documentation is based on Ernie Edwards’ disco-/solography of Freddie Webster, established some decades ago. All updates with new material and new understanding are included. Some months ago Jan Evensmo has published a solography of Freddie Webster which contains private recordings by Newman at Monroe’s with Freddie’s participation, as well as interesting new attributions for trumpet solos with Earl Hines. Acknowledgements Albert Balzer, François Blank, Otto Flückiger, Yvan Fournier, Anna Galvani, Dieter Hartmann, Pierre Jaquier, Walter Manser, Theo Zwicky Personality Freddie Webster was much in demand for his great sound, praised by Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Idrees Sulieman,Benny Bailey and others to be the best they had ever heard. He was regarded as a key figure in the early Be-Bop movement. Miles Davis was among his admirers who followed his musical conception. Charles Mingus composed in 1965 “The Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster”. Legacy Freddie Webster has only rarely been recorded. Less than 60 solos have survived. He can be heard at his best on his feature YESTERDAYS with Jimmie Lunceford, on I FELL FOR YOU with Miss Rhapsody, on SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN with Frank Socolow and on MY KINDA LOVE with Sarah Vaughan.

  • Frank Wellington Wess

    Frank Wellington Wess

    1 The TENORSAX of FRANK WELLINGTON WESS Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Sept. 9, 2020 2 Born: Kansas City, Missouri, Jan. 4, 1922 Died: Oct. 30, 2013 Introduction: Oslo Jazz Circle always loved the Basie orchestra, no matter what time, and of course we became familiar with Frank Wess’ fine tenorsax playing. My own real ear opener however was the Joe Turner session on Atlantic from 1956. Early history: First instrument altosax which he played in local band in Oklahoma. On tenor in Washington with Bill Baldwin and in the house band at Howard Theatre. On tour with Blanche Calloway and army service 1941-44. After discharge, with Billy Eckstine. Then with Eddie Heywood and Lucky Millinder. One year with Bull Moose Jackson. Back to Washington and studies on flute 1949. From June 1953 to August 1964 he was a member of Count Basie’s orchestra. Message: I have had to simplify the presentation of Count Basie sessions, it seemed to serve no purpose of going through all Chris Sheridan. However this means that many sessions with FW must have been omitted, and it is not unlikely that some of these will or have already appeared on CD. Also,I admit that it is not always easy to hear the difference between Frank Wess and Frank Foster, at least for my modest ears. Thus please report any discrepancies between your and my opinions without delay! 3 FRANK WESS TENORSAX SOLOGRAPHY BILLY ECKSTINE ORCHESTRA NYC.

    The man who invented the be-bop virtuoso break with false fingerings JOE GUY (tp) 1920-1962 by Mario Schneeberger first version 1993/04 last update 2017/11/13 last update: Recordings with Jack Sneed; Miles Davis (in chapters “Quotes” and “KEROUAC”), tune descriptions Preface Back in 1973 I heard Joe Guy soloing on EPISTROPHY with the Cootie Williams orchestra. I was impressed by his inspiration and his masterly negotiation of the tricky chords. That’s why I decided to analyse his output and write this essay.

At his best he played excellent and inspired solos and obbligatos. He invented the virtuoso break with false fingerings, later to become a Be-Bop cliché. 2 Life and career 1920/09/20 JOSEPH LUKE GUY is born in Birmingham, Alabama. He grows up in New York 1) 1939 with Fats Waller 2) 1939 with Teddy Hill 3) Dizzy Gillespie, lead trumpeter in the band: "Joe Guy was with the band and couldn't read 4) well. I used to teach him his parts." 1940 with Coleman Hawkins 2) 1941 with Kenny Clarke at Minton's 3) "Teddy Hill got out of the business.
