  • American Music Review the H
    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLII, Number 2 Spring 2013 Invisible Woman: Vi Redd’s Contributions as a Jazz Saxophonist By Yoko Suzuki, University of Pittsburgh The story of alto saxophonist Vi Redd illustrates yet another way in which women jazz instrumentalists have been excluded from the dominant discourse on jazz history. Although she performed with such jazz greats as Count Basie, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, and Earl Hines, she is rarely discussed in jazz history books except for those focusing specifically on female jazz musicians. One reason for her omission is that jazz historiography has heavily relied on commercially produced recordings. Despite her active and successful career in the 1960s, Redd released only two recordings as a bandleader, in 1962 and 1964. Reviews of these recordings, along with published accounts of her live performances and memories of her fellow musicians illuminate how Redd’s career as a jazz instrumentalist was greatly shaped by the established gender norms of the jazz world. Elvira “Vi” Redd was born in Los Angeles in 1928. Her father, New Orleans drummer Alton Redd, worked with such jazz greats as Kid Ory, Dexter Gordon, and Wardell Gray. Redd began singing in church when she was five, and started on alto saxophone around the age of twelve, when her great aunt gave her a horn and taught her how to play. Around 1948 she formed a band with her first husband, trumpeter Nathaniel Meeks. She played the saxophone and sang, and began performing professionally.

  • Jon Hendricks
    Jon Hendricks By Leonard Feather ToJay the world is knocking at Jon Hendricks’ door. Less than two sears ago, it was the other way around. Possessed of a remark­ able talent, Jon paid heavy dues for many years, earning a bare living playing drums, writing unsuccessful songs, and singing when a gig was available. As anyone can tell you who has studied the records of Lambert- Hendricks-Ross (for most of which Jon supplies the words), he is not merely a lyricist but a poet and a philosopher. During the recent Jazz tor Moderns tour, I got to know Jon well and found in him an e tergizing, 200-volt A.C. personality, with strong and often infuriating views on every subject from Fascism and Communism to astrology and numerology. This automatically meant that the records for his first Blindfold Test, instead of being confined to vocals, had to cover as broad a range as possible. His comments were tape-recorded, as are all inter­ views for this feature, and he was given no information, either before or during the test, about the records played. of th«» ‘Yeah, Ming the Mercifull' 1, Mel Torme with the Mel-Tones. A Bunch of down, because I was stomping my feet What they want to mess with War­ the Bluet (Verve). Art Pepper, tenor sax; all the way. Four stars. Was it the dell’s tune like that for?

  • Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism
    FIRING THE CANON: MULTIPLE INSULARITIES IN JAZZ CRITICISM By © 2014 Christopher Robinson Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker ________________________________ Randal Jelks ________________________________ Tony Bolden ________________________________ John Gennari ________________________________ William J Harris Date Defended: April 7, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Christopher Robinson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker Date approved: April 7, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Whereas many jazz scholars focus on jazz criticism's construction and implications of a single, or insular, jazz canon, this dissertation argues that what many jazz critics do is precisely the opposite. These critics disrupt the sense of a singular and insular jazz canon by challenging it through the creation of what I call an insularity, which is a bounded collection of artists and music with a definable tradition, values and established criteria which regulates what is suitable for inclusion. This dissertation argues that jazz does not consist of a single canon and music that exists beyond the canon's boundaries; rather, jazz contains multiple insularities that challenge the canon and vie for the opportunity to overthrow the canon in order to reach canonical status. This dissertation conceptualizes jazz critics as cultural authorities who create or deconstruct insularities through a variety of race, gender and nation projects. It examines the criticism of Leonard Feather, Val Wilmer and Nathaniel Mackey to highlight the numerous ways in which critics engage with multiple insularities.

Obviously, they couldn’t be accused of prejudice if they didn’t know who it was they were listening to.” –Leonard Feather, “90 Months Behind a Blindfold,” Downbeat, June 30, 1954, 61. “Over decades, Feather embarrassed scores of musicians who thought that race or gender were audible, or that studio men can't improvise, or that big names are invariably identifiable.” –Gary Giddins “Leonard Feather Obituary,” 1994 Blindfold Tests in Downbeat ❖ 1951-1970: A pivotal time in jazz history Pearl Bailey and Louis Armstrong, 1965 Nesuhi Ertegun, Dave Lambert, Leonard Feather, Jack Teagarden, and Gene Lees LEONARD FEATHER: Well, ah, one thing that might surprise you, or it might not, is that all the records I played were made on the west coast.

  • 1959 Jazz: a Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959
    GELB, GREGG, DMA. 1959 Jazz: A Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 69 pp. Towards the end of the 1950s, about halfway through its nearly 100-year history, jazz evolution and innovation increased at a faster pace than ever before. By 1959, it was evident that two major innovative styles and many sub-styles of the major previous styles had recently emerged. Additionally, all earlier practices were in use, making a total of at least ten actively played styles in 1959. It would no longer be possible to denote a jazz era by saying one style dominated, such as it had during the 1930s’ Swing Era. This convergence of styles is fascinating, but, considering that many of the recordings of that year represent some of the best work of many of the most famous jazz artists of all time, it makes 1959 even more significant. There has been a marked decrease in the jazz industry and in stylistic evolution since 1959, which emphasizes 1959’s importance in jazz history. Many jazz listeners, including myself up until recently, have always thought the modal style, from the famous 1959 Miles Davis recording, Kind of Blue, dominated the late 1950s. However, a few of the other great and stylistically diverse recordings from 1959 were John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, and Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, which included the very well- known jazz standard Take Five. My research has found many more 1959 recordings of equally unique artistic achievement.
