  • Dissertation Introduction
    Copyright by Kyle Stewart Barnett 2006 The Dissertation Committee for Kyle Stewart Barnett certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Cultural Production and Genre Formation in the U.S. Recording Industry, 1920-1935 Committee: Thomas Schatz, Supervisor James Buhler John D.H. Downing James Hay Mary Celeste Kearney S. Craig Watkins ii Cultural Production and Genre Formation in the U.S. Recording Industry, 1920-1935 by Kyle Stewart Barnett, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August, 2006 iii To Lisa Most of the recordings issued throughout the twentieth century were never simply marketed to or purchased by a huge undifferentiated ‘mass’ audience. Instead, the industry has, since its formation, sold music to the fans of particular styles, through a variety of changing labels…. In addition the recording industry has employed various legal and illegal, small-scale and team-based, marketing and promotional activities as a way of approaching consumers – practices which might well be labeled as ‘flexible.’ – Keith Negus, “Music Divisions: The Recording Industry and the Social Mediation of Cultural Production,” When the music business gets involved in promoting a style of music, it typically adopts colloquial terms that are verbs or adjectives and turns them into nouns – that is, into things, marketable objects that can be promoted, sold, and bought by a mass audience. – Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman, American Popular Music from Minstrelsy to MTV iv Acknowledgements I have relied on the help of many friends and colleagues in completing this project.

THE TWENTIES 3 II. JAZZ BACKGROUND 17 III. LOUIS ARMSTRONG 54 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY 83 SELECTED DISCOGRAPHY 93 INTRODUCTION Louis Armstrong has been one of the most important figures in jazz history. Armstrong helped change the sound and form of jazz. Traditionally the rugged and mordant cor¬ net had been the number one horn in jazz. In the late twenties, Louis changed to the fuller and brilliant sounding trumpet. The trumpet soon became the number one horn in jazz. He played his horn like no other musician before him. Armstrong's voicing and rhythm was almost flawless. He used a vocal technique for his horn and an instrumental technique for his singing. Armstrong's lung power and extraordinary lip muscles made him the King of Jazz. Louis Armstrong became the culture hero of Blacks during the twenties and thirties. Musicians and fans alike copied his speech, dress, and mannerisms. Arm¬ strong had as much impact on his culture as did White society on him. To understand the growth of Louis Armstrong there must be an understanding of the forces and events that shaped him and jazz during the twenties. Jazz, more than any other music, has been influenced by non-musical forces and events. Two of the main influences on jazz have been race and business.

  • An American Riddle
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‘An American riddle’: the black music trailblazer who died a white man A fascinating new podcast delves into the life of Harry Pace, forgotten founder of the first black-owned record label in the US – and unlocks a shocking and prescient story about race Harry Pace, lawyer and cultural entrepreneur, thought by his family to have been Italian. Ammar Kalia Wed 14 Jul 2021 There are, according to the academic Emmett Price, “six degrees of Harry Pace”. He is referring to the man born in 1884 who founded America’s first black-owned major record label; desegregated part of Chicago; mentored the founder of Ebony and Jet magazines and spearheaded the career of blues singer Ethel Waters. Pace is a figure who is seemingly everywhere at once, yet his name has been suspiciously absent from the history books. “This story encapsulates how progress comes about in America – and it is never in a straight line,” says Jad Abumrad. “It is often a cycle – one that contains hope and despair, smashed together.” Best known for their work on Radiolab and its hit spin-off, Dolly Parton’s America, Abumrad and his co-producer Shima Oliaee are speaking from New York about their latest podcast, The Vanishing of Harry Pace. The six-part series examines the life and legacy of its titular character – the founder of Black Swan records, who had a hand in coining the term “rock ‘n’ roll”. Pace was also a civil rights lawyer, a collaborator of WEB Du Bois, and, you might think, a pioneering black American erased from history because of his race.

  • The New Negro of Jazz: New Orleans, Chicago, New York, the First Great Migration, & the Harlem Renaissance, 1890-1930
    The New Negro of Jazz: New Orleans, Chicago, New York, the First Great Migration, & the Harlem Renaissance, 1890-1930 A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 2012 By Charlie Lester M.A., University of Cincinnati, 2008 B.A., Northern Kentucky University, 2004 Committee Chair: Professor David Stradling Abstract The New Negro of Jazz: New Orleans, Chicago, New York, the First Great Migration, & the Harlem Renaissance, 1890-1930 By Charlie Lester The Harlem Renaissance is often remembered for its cultural achievements, but scholars often place too much attention on literary and visual artists with little regard for the musicians of the period. When scholars do make the connection between jazz and the Harlem Renaissance, the work of jazz artists in cities outside of Harlem play second fiddle. In fact, New Orleans and Chicago could just as easily stake the claim as the nation’s jazz capital in this period, and so many early jazz innovators emigrated to Chicago’s South Side from New Orleans that the Windy City could arguably boast a more vibrant music scene than Harlem. Thanks in no small part to the First Great Migration, when over one million African Americans left the South to stake their claim on the American Dream in the urban North, jazz transitioned from a regional to the national music in the 1910s and 1920s. A number of scholars of the Great Migration have shed light on the grass roots leadership that facilitated northern emigration.

  • Black Swan Records and the Political Economy of African American Music
    Co-workers in the Kingdom of Culture: Black Swan Records and the Political Economy of African American Music David Suisman For suggestions on how to use this article in the U.S. history classroom, see our “Teaching the JAH” Web project at <http://www.indiana.edu/~jah/teaching/>. In London in 1923, W. E. B. Du Bois addressed the third Pan-African Congress on the topic of “The American Negro.” In his talk he jumped from familiar themes such as voting rights and lynching to one topic that stood out: attempts by a large Ameri- can phonograph record corporation to bankrupt Black Swan Records, a small, black- owned company that produced records for African American consumers. Why would a large phonograph corporation launch such a campaign? And why would it merit Du Bois’s attention in that heady forum? By way of answering those questions, this article investigates the rise and fall of the small record company and explores the complex political economy in which it operated. Black Swan was established by a former protégé of Du Bois, Harry H. Pace, who saw the company as a powerful means to respond to the hostile conditions African Americans faced, both in the entertainment business and in American society at large. At stake was not merely entertainment but access to, and control of, material resources that could cultivate and boost African Americans’ creative spirits, support and encourage African Ameri- can business development and economic self-sufficiency, and, it was believed, help shape popular opinion to produce tangible social, political, and economic benefits for African Americans.1 David Suisman teaches history at the New School University, Parsons School of Design division and at City Uni- versity of New York, Queens College campus.

  • I'm Every (Black) Woman: Negotiating Intersectionality in the Music Industry
    I'M EVERY (BLACK) WOMAN: NEGOTIATING INTERSECTIONALITY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY Jacqueline P. Hudson A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2021 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Lee Nickoson Graduate Faculty Representative Radhika Gajjala Angela Nelson © 2021 Jacqueline P. Hudson All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Black women singers have often been lauded and emulated for their musical talents, but also have been regulated to the lower level of societal hierarchy in the music industry. They had to endure racialized and gendered power structures in the field that positioned white men at the top where they had the authority to make music-industry related decisions, white women who achieved success often on the backs of black women’s labor, and black men who took credit in the music-creating process. While this is standard in the music industry for quite some time, there has been long history of this hierarchy in social phenomena such as the institution of slavery, the women’s suffrage movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and the second/third/ fourth-wave feminist movement. In both the music industry and social history, black women had to create and maintain agency against these power structures. This dissertation explores how the concept of intersectionality, coined by critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, informs the way black women singers navigated their identity through the music industry. Incorporating historical context of the social phenomena that was mentioned above, this dissertation also takes a cross section of black women singers from both different eras and genres of music (Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton, Nina Simone, Janet Jackson, Janelle Monáe, and Lizzo) in illustrating the narrative on how that they used their personal intersectional experiences in the music industry to fight against racism and sexism in the music industry.
