(Albertha Cartwright) DISCLAIMER | DMCA PCXD3CDUHUFZ « Kindle // Central Avenue Sounds Jazz in Los Angeles CENTRAL AVENUE SOUNDS JAZZ IN LOS ANGELES University of California Press. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Paperback. 470 pages. Dimensions: 8.9in. x 5.8in. x 1.2in.The musical and social history of Los Angeless black community from the 1920s through the early 1950s comes to life in this exceptional oral history collection. Through the voices of musicians who performed on L. A. s Central Avenue during those years, a vivid picture of the Avenues place in American musical history emerges. By day, Central Avenue was the economic and social center for black Angelenos. By night, it was a magnet for Southern Californians, black and white, who wanted to hear the very latest in jazz. The oral histories in this book provide firsthand reminiscences by and about some of our great jazz legends: Art Farmer recalls the first time Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie played bebop on the West Coast; Britt Woodman tells of a teenaged Charles Mingus switching from cello to bass; Clora Bryant recalls hard times on the road with Billie Holiday. Here, too, are recollections of Hollywoods eects on local culture, the precedent-setting merger of the black and white musicians unions, and the repercussions from the racism in the Los Angeles Police Department in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

  • Countherhistory July 2010 AAUW-Illinois by Barbara Joan Zeitz
    CountHerHistory July 2010 AAUW-Illinois by Barbara Joan Zeitz Trumpeting Women: What happened to women trumpeters during the 318 years between 1655 and 1973 is worthy of note. Also worthy of note is no anatomical gender difference exists to allow male and prevent female trumpeting. Still, trumpet opportunities historically excluded females as they promoted males. Not until 1973 did a major orchestra hire its first female principle trumpeter. It is chronicled that Johanna Von Hoff was a Viennese trumpeter in the 1655 court of Emperor Leopold I and that J. Heneage Carter had an all-girl brass band in the 1860’s in New England. Child prodigy Edna White had her first trumpet solo performance at Carnegie Hall in 1902. She was 9 and promptly recruited to study at the newly founded Institute of Musical Art (now Julliard). At her commencement in 1907, she was the only graduate to perform a solo and the only graduate not to receive a degree for which she was deemed too young. Due to the rarity of female trumpeting engagements in which to perform for wages, many women of the time created their own groups and employed other women. Edna formed her first all-woman trumpet quartet in 1910. But despite her talent, Julliard training, and rave reviews, few would hire all-women groups. After two years Edna returned to Indianapolis and married. Her husband disapproved her trumpet playing and Edna disapproved his disapproval. However, when his foreign bank accounts were frozen due to WW I he did not object when she formed her second all-woman trumpet quartet and became the family source of income.

  • Big Ears: Listening for Gender in Jazz Studies*
    Big Ears: Listening for Gender in Jazz Studies* By Sherrie Tucker His wife Lil often played piano. Ken Burns's Jazz, on Lil Hardin Armstrong. are they his third or fourth wives, or two new members of the brass section?" Cartoon caption, Down Beat, August 15, 1943. My ears were like antennae and my brain was like a sponge. Clora Bryant, trumpet player, on her first encounters with bebop. Injazz, the term "big ears" refers to the ability to hear and make mean­ ing out of complex music. One needs "big ears" to make sense of impro­ visatory negotiations of tricky changes and multiple simultaneous lines and rhythms. "Big ears" are needed to hear dissonances and silences. They are needed to follow nuanced conversations between soloists; between soloists and rhythm sections; between music and other social realms; be­ tween multiply situated performers and audiences and institutions; and between the jazz at hand and jazz in history. If jazz was just about hitting the right notes, surviving the chord changes, and letting out the stops,jazz scholars, listeners, and even musicians would not need "big ears." Yet, jazz historiography has historically suffered from a reliance on pre­ dictable riffs. Great-man epics, sudden genre changes timed by decade, and colorful anecdotes about eccentric individuals mark the comfortable beats. Jazz-quite undeservedly, and all too often-has been subjected to easy listening histories. The familiar construction of jazz history as a logi­ cal sequence in which one style folds into another, one eccentric genius passes the torch to the next-what Scott DeVeaux (1991) calls "the jazz tradition"-has dominated popular and critical writing about jazz, even the ways our "Survey of Jazz" classes are taught in universities.

    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

  • Diggin' You Like Those Ol' Soul Records: Meshell Ndegeocello and the Expanding Definition of Funk in Postsoul America
    Diggin’ You Like Those Ol’ Soul Records 181 Diggin’ You Like Those Ol’ Soul Records: Meshell Ndegeocello and the Expanding Definition of Funk in Postsoul America Tammy L. Kernodle Today’s absolutist varieties of Black Nationalism have run into trouble when faced with the need to make sense of the increasingly distinct forms of black culture produced from various diaspora populations. The unashamedly hybrid character of these black cultures continually confounds any simplistic (essentialist or antiessentialist) understanding of the relationship between racial identity and racial nonidentity, between folk cultural authenticity and pop cultural betrayal. Paul Gilroy1 Funk, from its beginnings as terminology used to describe a specific genre of black music, has been equated with the following things: blackness, mascu- linity, personal and collective freedom, and the groove. Even as the genre and terminology gave way to new forms of expression, the performance aesthetic developed by myriad bands throughout the 1960s and 1970s remained an im- portant part of post-1970s black popular culture. In the early 1990s, rhythm and blues (R&B) splintered into a new substyle that reached back to the live instru- mentation and infectious grooves of funk but also reflected a new racial and social consciousness that was rooted in the experiences of the postsoul genera- tion. One of the pivotal albums advancing this style was Meshell Ndegeocello’s Plantation Lullabies (1993). Ndegeocello’s sound was an amalgamation of 0026-3079/2013/5204-181$2.50/0 American Studies, 52:4 (2013): 181-204 181 182 Tammy L. Kernodle several things.

Yet Bing Crosby was far more than that: He was an architect of 20th century entertainment, a force in the development of three industries that barely existed when he came into the world: recordings, motion pictures, and broadcasting. As the most successful recording artist of all time; an abiding star of movies, radio, and television; and a firm believer in the wonders of technology, he helped to transform and define the cultural life not only of the United States, but of the world. When Harry Lillis Crosby was born, on May 3, 1903, to a working-class Catholic Irish- Anglo family with deep roots in the American Northwest, there was little reason to think he would amount to much. Though an obviously intelligent and conscientious student, his primary interests were sports (he won many swimming medals), school plays, and music–he played drums (not very well), sang, and whistled. At Gonzaga University, he decided to study law because he could think of nothing better at the time and it pleased his parents.
