You've Got to Be Jazzistic
Introduction: You've Got to Be Jazzistic hriving on a Riff is a contribution to the growing body of work on jazz, I blues, and their multiple influences in other forms of African American and American culture. The provisional term for this relatively new area of dis• course is jazz studies, although there may be a case for Sun Ra's tongue-in-cheek neologism "jazzisticology," which (considered etymologically) appears to mean the study of the "jazzistic," in other words, that which aspires, or pertains, to being like, about, or in the style of, jazz.1 While jazzisticology seems unlikely to catch on, it does have the advantage of marking a distinction between the study of jazz itself (in a nuts-and-bolts musicological sense) and the study of things that are jazz related. Thriving on a Riff belongs to the latter category and sharpens its focus further to examine two of the many cultural forms affected by African American music: literature and film. While that music has become hugely popular and influential far beyond the communities that produced it, its role within African American culture has been especially profound. Numerous black writers have confirmed this: from James Baldwin's bald assertion, "It is only in his music ... that the Negro in America has been able to tell his story," to Bob Kaufman's more poetic coinage: Dirt of a world covers me My secret heart Beating to unheard jazz.2 This recognition of the music's crucial importance, both to African American culture and beyond, can be traced back to W.

Lead Belly and His Legacy of Southern Song a Smithsonian
Lead Belly and His Legacy of Southern Song A Smithsonian Folkways Unit of Lessons Designed by: Patricia Shehan Campbell and Bethany Grant-Rodriguez University of Washington Summary: This unit of four stand-alone or progressive lessons celebrates Lead Belly, a Louisiana-born songster who remembered, invented, and passed on a legacy of songs that opens ears and minds to the world of the American south in the late nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century. The ballads, blues, work songs, and singing games in these lessons celebrate an African American sensibility that can be enjoyed in school settings by listening and participatory singing and playing. With such musical engagement can come a deeper understanding of the life, times, and place of Lead Belly and his early years on the plantation, his consciousness of the daily grind of manual labor, and his later experiences as a conveyor of southern song on radio and in on-stage concerts, clubs, and classrooms. For children and youth, the complexities of Lead Belly’s life and times are caught up in these songs. His troubled years landed him in prison, where he learned songs from his inmates in Louisiana and Texas, when he worked on a chain gang until his time was served. (The reasons for his incarceration may not make for classroom-appropriate discussion, although the songs he acquired there became standard repertoire for him.) They lead to an exploration of the U.S. South in the post-Civil War period and the Jim Crow years, in the rural and remote places where sharecropping was common and where racial inequities were continued long past official declarations of freedom.

REENGAGING BLUES NARRATIVES: ALAN LOMAX, JELLY ROLL MORTON AND W.C. HANDY By Vic Hobson A dissertation submitted to the School of Music, In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of East Anglia (March 2008) Copyright 2008 All rights reserved © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. i Acknowledgments This for me has been a voyage of discovery and I count myself fortunate to have enjoyed the process. This has been due, in no small part, to the support, help and encouragement that I have received along the way. People who, in the early days of my research, had been only names on the covers of books are now real; all have been helpful, most have been enthusiastic and some I now count as friends. The School of Music at the University of East Anglia is a small school in a rapidly expanding university which was led for many years by David Chadd who sadly died before the completion of this work. Fortunately the foundations he laid are secure and I have benefited from the knowledge and experience of all of the staff of the school, in particular my supervisor Jonathan Impett. Among Jonathan’s contributions, above and beyond the normal duties of a PhD supervisor is to have shown faith in a thesis that initially must have seemed rather unlikely.
