Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i1.9en Live Recollections: Uses of the Past in U.S. Concert Life Steve Waksman [email protected] Smith College Abstract As an institution, the concert has long been one of the central mechanisms through which a sense of musical history is constructed and conveyed to a contemporary listening audience. Examining concert programs and critical reviews, this paper will briefly survey U.S. concert life at three distinct moments: in the 1840s, when a conflict arose between virtuoso performance and an emerging classical canon; in the 1910s through 1930s, when early jazz concerts referenced the past to highlight the music’s progress over time; and in the late twentieth century, when rock festivals sought to reclaim a sense of liveness in an increasingly mediatized cultural landscape. keywords: concerts, canons, jazz, rock, virtuosity, history. 1 During the nineteenth century, a conflict arose regarding whether concert repertories should dwell more on the presentation of works from the past, or should concentrate on works of a more contemporary character. The notion that works of the past rather than the present should be the focus of concert life gained hold only gradually over the course of the nineteenth century; as it did, concerts in Europe and the U.S. assumed a more curatorial function, acting almost as a living museum of musical artifacts. While this emphasis on the musical past took hold most sharply in the sphere of “high” or classical music, it has become increasingly common in the popular sphere as well, although whether it fulfills the same function in each realm of musical life remains an open question.

Constructing Robert Johnson Sean Lorre
Constructing Robert Johnson Sean Lorre I don’t think I’d even heard of Robert Johnson when I first found [King of the Delta Blues Singers (1961)]; it was probably fresh out. I was around fifteen or sixteen, and it came as something of a shock to me that there could be anything that powerful... It was almost as if he felt things so acutely that he found it almost unbearable…. At first it was almost too painful, but then after about six months I started listening, and then I didn't listen to anything else. Up until the time I was 25, if you didn't know who Robert Johnson was I wouldn't talk to you. -Eric Clapton1 I was thirteen years old when Woodstock-era nostalgia swept through my small suburban world in the early 1990s. By that time, I had amassed a large collection of classic rock LPs including my personal favorites, Cream’s Greatest Hits and Led Zeppelin IV. In the year or so following, on the recommendations of my local record store clerks and friends in the know, I picked up a copy of the brand new Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings (1990). These most trusted of advisors let it be known that if I liked Eric Clapton, then I would love Johnson, because he was “the real deal,” “where rock n’ roll came from.” When I brought the boxed set home – cassettes, mind you, not CDs – I poured over the liner notes before popping in the tapes. Following an 8,000-word essay about the greatness of Robert Johnson divided into sections entitled “The Man” and “The Music,” came the testimonial of my idol, Clapton himself, who 1 The Complete Recordings 1990, 22 128 Musicological Explorations professed his love for Johnson in no uncertain terms, stating “I have never found anything more deeply soulful than Robert Johnson.

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.

Nov. 20, 1970 Introduction: I don’t think anybody in Oslo Jazz Circle recognized Don Stovall, in the old days we simply did not play that kind of music, and we hated the Decca recording company for all their mediocre sessions. Ghus missing out on things we should have noted and appreciated. History: Began playing violin as a child before settling on alto. Played in St. Louis, Missouri with Dewey Jackson and Fats Marable on riverboats in the 1920s, and then played with Eddie Johnson’s Crackerjacks in 1932-33. In the 1930s he lived in Buffalo, New York, where he led his own ensmble and played with Lil Armstrong. He moved to NYC. in 1939, and played there with Sam Price, Eddie Durham and Cootie Williams. Following this he recorded extensively with Red Allen, remaining with him until 1950. He retired from the music industry in 1950, and spent the remainder of his life working for a telephone company (ref. Wikipedia). 3 DON STOVALL SOLOGRAPHY BUDDY JOHNSON & HIS ORCHESTRA NYC.

“Just a Dream”: Community, Identity, and the Blues of Big Bill Broonzy. (2011) Directed by Dr
GREENE, KEVIN D., Ph.D. “Just a Dream”: Community, Identity, and the Blues of Big Bill Broonzy. (2011) Directed by Dr. Benjamin Filene. 332 pgs This dissertation investigates the development of African American identity and blues culture in the United States and Europe from the 1920s to the 1950s through an examination of the life of one of the blues’ greatest artists. Across his career, Big Bill Broonzy negotiated identities and formed communities through exchanges with and among his African American, white American, and European audiences. Each respective group held its own ideas about what the blues, its performers, and the communities they built meant to American and European culture. This study argues that Broonzy negotiated a successful and lengthy career by navigating each groups’ cultural expectations through a process that continually transformed his musical and professional identity. Chapter 1 traces Broonzy’s negotiation of black Chicago. It explores how he created his new identity and contributed to the flowering of Chicago’s blues community by navigating the emerging racial, social, and economic terrain of the city. Chapter 2 considers Broonzy’s music career from the early twentieth century to the early 1950s and argues that his evolution as a musician—his lifelong transition from country fiddler to solo male blues artist to black pop artist to American folk revivalist and European jazz hero—provides a fascinating lens through which to view how twentieth century African American artists faced opportunities—and pressures—to reshape their identities. Chapter 3 extends this examination of Broonzy’s career from 1951 until his death in 1957, a period in which he achieved newfound fame among folklorists in the United States and jazz and blues aficionados in Europe.

Social Movements, Music, and Race
Copyrighted Material CHAPTER ONE Social Movements, Music, and Race On December 23, 1938, the left-wing magazine New Masses sponsored a concert in New York’s Carnegie Hall titled “From Spirituals to Swing,” featuring some of America’s now-legendary African American perform- ers, including Count Basie, Sister Rosetta Tharp, Sonny Terry, and the Golden Gate Quartet. The program notes put the music in social context: “It expresses America so clearly that its readiest recognition here has come from the masses, particularly youth. While the intelligentsia has been busy trying to water our scrawny cultural tree with European art and literary movements, this thing has come to maturity unnoticed” (“From Spirituals to Swing” program). One of the songs, “I’m on My Way,” could be heard a quarter century later in freedom rallies in places like Albany, Georgia. Commentators again embraced the sounds of African American culture as the music of America. Other parallels are found. The 1938 concert and 1961 Albany musicking each occurred dur- ing a peak of social movement activity, the communist-led Old Left that resulted in the unionization of America’s core industrial sector, and the civil rights movement that crippled the insidious system of legalized ra- cial segregation. In both, African Americans and whites joined to make music, challenging the dominant racial order that infected all aspects of social life. The aspirations of both movements to bridge racial boundaries with music were explicit—wedding black music (spirituals) and black- inspired white music (swing) in one event and invoking a universal prin- ciple (freedom) in the other.
