Cohen Copyright© 2011 by Rachel Clare Donaldson All Rights Reserved For Mary, Laura, Gertrude, Elizabeth And Domenica ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not have been able to complete this dissertation had not been for the support of many people. Historians David Carlton, Thomas Schwartz, William Caferro, and Yoshikuni Igarashi have helped me to grow academically since my first year of graduate school. From the beginning of my research through the final edits, Katherine Crawford and Sarah Igo have provided constant intellectual and professional support. Gary Gerstle has guided every stage of this project; the time and effort he devoted to reading and editing numerous drafts and his encouragement has made the project what it is today. Through his work and friendship, Ronald Cohen has been an inspiration. The intellectual and emotional help that he provided over dinners, phone calls, and email exchanges have been invaluable. I greatly appreciate Larry Isaac and Holly McCammon for their help with the sociological work in this project. I also thank Jane Anderson, Brenda Hummel, and Heidi Welch for all their help and patience over the years. I thank the staffs at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Kentucky Library and Museum, the Archives at the University of Indiana, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (particularly Todd Harvey) for their research assistance.

  • Smithsonian Folkways Recordings: a Question of Balance
    Smithsonian Folkways Recordings: A Question of Balance D. A. Sonnebom How does a small record label, operating within a large museum setting, balance its educational mission's imperatives against economic need, a pair of priorities inherently in conflict? The following is a personal and reflexive view, affected in some measure by oral transmissions received from institutional elders but based always on my own experience. When I was a child, my home was filled with music from all over the world, including many releases from Folkways Records. Individually and as a collection, the music opened windows of my imagination and initiated a sense of curiosity and wonder about the experience and perception of others. The material ignited a musical passion that has proved lasting. I have served as Assistant Director of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings since 1998 and thus have had opportunity to live with the tensions of its "mission vs. operational needs" polarity, both to ask and try to answer the question on a daily basis. I offer this essay to readers in hopes that it may help demythologize and demystify the process whereby recordings of community-based traditions are promulgated from the setting of the United States national museum and into the increasingly globalized marketplace. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in September 2001 exacerbated an economic contraction already in progress in the U.S. and produced a precipitous drop in recording sales during that year's last few months. The North American music industry continued depressed in 2002, with sales down on average more than ten percent as compared to the prior year.

  • The Brothers Nazaroff 1
    THE HAPPY PRINCE NAZAROVYE! A GREETING FROM THE BROTHERS NAZARISHE GREETINGS TO ALL. Thank you for acquiring this most joyous of musical tributes to our beloved lost uncle, the “Prince.” Three score years ago, the venerable Moses Asch released Nathan “Prince” Nazaroff’s 10” record, Jewish Freilach Songs (FW 6809). It has since proved to be a guiding light in the search for a missing link between our post-modern Babylo- nian exile and the lost Atlantis of Yiddish “Middle-Europe.” The “Prince” came to our American shores in 1914, as the old world crumbled. One hundred years later, we, the amalgamated and wind-strewn spiritual nephews of the great Nazaroff, have gathered to honor our lost Tumler Extraordinaire, a true troubadour of the vanished Yiddish street. Leaving our homes in New York, Berlin, Budapest, Moscow, and France, we began recording these songs in an astrological library in Michigan and finished up in an attic in Berlin. We were armed with a smattering of languages, several instruments, a bird whistle from Istanbul, and the indispensable liner notes to the original Folkways album (available for download from Smithsonian Folkways’ website—we encourage any listener to this recording to obtain a copy). We have tried to stay true to Nazaroff’s neshome (soul), khokhme (wit), style, and sense of music. The “Prince” was truly a big-time performer. By keeping his music alive, we hope to bring him into an even bigger time: the future. So let’s now celebrate the discordant, obscure, jubilant, ecstatic legacy of our Happy “Prince.” NAZAROVYE! THE HAPPY PRINCE THE BROTHERS NAZAROFF 1 THE HAPPY PRINCE 1.

  • Anarchist Modernism and Yiddish Literature

Bringing together original historical research on the radical press and close readings of Yiddish avant-garde poetry by Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Peretz Markish, Yankev Glatshteyn, and others, I show that the development of anarchist modernism was both a transnational literary trend and a complex worldview. My research draws from hitherto unread material in international archives to document the world of the Yiddish anarchist press and assess the scope of its literary influence. The dissertation’s theoretical framework is informed by diaspora studies, gender studies, and translation theory, to which I introduce anarchist diasporism as a new term.

  • Nomination Form International Memory of the World Register
    Nomination form International Memory of the World Register MOSES AND FRANCES ASCH COLLECTION Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, Smithsonian Institution ID Code [2014-66] 1.0 Summary With the mission of representing an “encyclopedia of sound,” the Moses and Frances Asch Collection (1926-1987) serves as a unique testament to the breadth and depth of the twentieth-century human experience. The collection features material of both famous and lesser known writers, poets, documentarians, ethnographers, and grass roots musicians from around the world. The series Folkways Records includes a diversity of documentary, audio, visual, and business materials from Folkways Records, one of the most influential record labels of the twentieth century. American folk icon Woody Guthrie recorded on Folkways, and the collection includes selections of his correspondence, lyrics, drawings, and writings in the series The Woody Guthrie Papers. The collection notably contains correspondence with numerous influential individuals of the twentieth century, such as John Cage, Langston Hughes, Margaret Walker, Lead Belly, Pete Seeger, Peggy Seeger, Ewan MacColl, Alan Lomax, Kenneth Patchen, and others. It also includes ethnographic field notes and field photographs by Béla Bartók, Henry Cowell, Sidney Robertson Cowell, Harold Courlander, and Sam Charters. Moses Asch’s business papers from his various record labels, including but not limited to Folkways Records, offers insight to the history of the recording industry and music business. The collection prominently features audio recordings of rare and extinct documentary sounds, both man-made and natural, such as steam engines, extinct and endangered animal species, minority languages, and occupational soundscapes of years past. Moses Asch hired prominent artists and graphic designers to create album cover art for commercial recordings.

  • Anthology of American Folk Music”--Harry Smith, Editor (1952) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Ian Nagoski (Guest Post)*
    “Anthology of American Folk Music”--Harry Smith, editor (1952) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Ian Nagoski (guest post)* Original album package “An Anthology of American Folk Music” is a compilation of 84 vernacular performances from commercial 78rpm discs originally issued during the years 1927-32. It was produced by Harry Smith and issued as three two-LP sets by Moses Asch’s Folkways Records in 1952. It was kept in print from the time of its original release for three decades before it was reissued on compact disc to critical heraldry by Smithsonian/ Folkways in 1997. During the 1950s and 60s, the collection deeply influenced a generation of musicians and listeners and has helped to define the idea of “American Music” in the popular imagination, due in large part to the peculiar sensibilities of its compiler, Harry Smith. Smith was born Mary 29, 1923 in Portland, Oregon, and raised in small towns in the northwest by parents with humdrum jobs and involvements with both Lummi Indians (on this mother’s side) and Masonry and Spiritualism (on his father’s). By his teens, he had attended exclusive Indian ceremonies and bought recordings by African-American performers, including Memphis Minnie, Rev. F.W. McGee, Tommy McClennan, and Yank Rachell, which lit the fuse of a life-long fireworks display of obsessive collecting of records that were “exotic in relation to what was considered the world culture of high class music,” as he put it in a 1960s interview with John Cohen. After a year and half studying anthology at the University of Seattle, Smith relocated to Berkeley, California, ca.

  • 1 Bob Dylan's American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, Through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory P
    Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory Panel I Think I’ll Call It America Born into changing times, Bob Dylan shaped history in song. “Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.” So wrote Herman Melville, author of the great tall tale Moby Dick and one of the American mythmakers whose legacy Bob Dylan furthers. Like other great artists this democracy has produced, Dylan has come to represent the very historical moment that formed him. Though he calls himself a humble song and dance man, Dylan has done more to define American creative expression than anyone else in the past half-century, forming a new poetics from his emblematic journey. A small town boy with a wandering soul, Dylan was born into a post-war landscape of possibility and dread, a culture ripe for a new mythology. Learning his craft, he traveled a road that connected the civil rights movement to the 1960s counterculture and the revival of American folk music to the creation of the iconic rock star. His songs reflected these developments and, resonating, also affected change. Bob Dylan, 1962 Photo courtesy of John Cohen Section 1: Hibbing Red Iron Town Bobby Zimmerman was a typical 1950’s kid, growing up on Elvis and television. Northern Minnesota seems an unlikely place to produce an icon of popular music—it’s leagues away from music birthplaces like Memphis and New Orleans, and seems as cold and characterless as the South seems mysterious. Yet growing up in the small town of Hibbing, Bob Dylan discovered his musical heritage through radio stations transmitting blues and country from all over, and formed his own bands to practice the newfound religion of rock ‘n’ roll.
