Press. The Times-Picayune/NOLA.com: “Raiders of the Lost Ark or Streetcar Named Desire? Both classics return to big screen, plus more local movie events” Mike Scott, March 10, 2015 “[Indywood Theater] will also team with WWOZ for two screenings of director Les Blank's 1973 documentary Hot Pepper (5 and 7 p.m. Sunday, March 15), about zydeco king Clifton Chenier.” New Wave/Tulane University: “Full of praise for Mahalia” Hannah Dean, March 10, 2015 “Jerry Brock of local radio station WWOZ-FM built upon this theme by adding that as a gospel singer who grew up in a city as racially charged as New Orleans, Mahalia Jackson personified the idea of resistance through beauty in the local and national African- American community.” The Times-Picayune/NOLA.com: “WWOZ’s spring membership drive offers reunion and renewal for listeners, staffers, volunteers” Dave Walker, March 6, 2015 “Love was in the airwaves during the first day of the spring membership drive for WWOZ FM-90.7. Also social aid, of a sort. Also pleasure.” “Streaming video (including in-studio pledge performances) now gets prominent play on the station’s densely populated website, WWOZ.org. The station boosted its broadcast signal strength last year and is in the process of adding a second music feed to stream and broadcast via HD radio. There will be, as usual, live broadcasts of performances at the French Quarter Festival and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival….” “Chicago, New York City and San Francisco lead the list of top-streaming cities beyond the New Orleans area. Moscow comes in at No. 7, so no surprise that Russia leads all countries beyond the United States in streaming WWOZ, ahead of Canada, England and Japan.” “About half of the station’s supporting members reside outside of the New Orleans area. WWOZ on-air hosts hear from listeners all the time who say the stream is a link to a life they’ve left behind or a way to relive a great visit to the city.” “Average streaming traffic doubles during Jazz Fest (and stays strong on the weekdays between Fair Grounds days). WWOZ’s streaming audience more or less tripled, to about 13,000 listeners, on Fat Tuesday.” Page 4 of 5 WWOZ Board of Directors General Manager’s Report Wednesday, March 11, 2015 11. Press (cont). The Times-Picayune/NOLA.com: “Solange, Marilyn Manson and other musicians who have lived in New Orleans” Alison Fensterstock, March 2, 2015 “And of course there’s the Afghan Whigs’ Greg Dulli, who co-owns the R Bar and Bud Rips, and the Pogues’ Spider Stacy, who more than once has lent his impressive vinyl holdings and DJ skills to WWOZ’s periodic Sunday cocktail-hour ‘Private Collections’ series.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • An Abbreviated Article, Part 1
    An Abbreviated Article The title of this article might indicate to the reader that this may be a shortened offering from yours truly, but instead it is on the topic of abbreviations commonly used in the Crescent City, or as some might say: NOLA. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or longer phrases found in almost every field or discipline of our daily lives, from commonly used abbreviations in names or titles, such as Mr., as in Mr. Bingle, or Dr., as in Dr. John., to quite commonly used local abbreviations, such as MB for Maison Blanche, and KB or K&B for Katz and Besthoff. They are commonplace in the use of weights and measures, distances, medicine, cooking and baking. And if you need directions, it’s best you know location abbreviations such as Blvd. and Ave. That’s where New Orleans’ neutral grounds are usually located. These ads ran side by side in the New Orleans Item, September 21, 1938. On the same page was an ad for the L & L Shop at 622 Canal. Many abbreviations have been used for so many years in New Orleans that we have forgotten what the original letters stood for. For example, there’s P&J’s Oysters, key supplier of oysters to restaurants locally as well as nationally. John Popich was the “P” and Joe Jurisich was the “J”, but Alfred Sunseri, a cousin of Joe Jurisich, was the driving force, and all these many years later, P&J’s is still run by the Sunseri family. And the A&G Cafeterias, just like K&B and MB, “ain’t dere no more”.
