  • From Minstrelsy to Jazz
    Rainer E. Lotz, Minstrelsy to Jazz PopScriptum Schriftenreihe herausgegeben vom Forschungszentrum Populäre Musik der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin aus: PopScriptum 8 – Afroamerikanische Musik in Deutschland From Minstrelsy to Jazz Cross-cultural links between Germans and Afro-Americans. Presentation at the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC) 1999 Convention, Hamburg, Thursday, 29 July 1999 Rainer E. Lotz In 1997 I published a book entitled "Black People, Entertainers of African descent in Europe, and Germany": The book attempts to analyze the impact of African-American music in Europe around the turn of the century. We, the record collectors, are guilty of the neglect of areas of musical tradition which are under-represented or un-represented on record. And since most of the early authors of scholarly books and discographies on jazz were Euro- peans, whose only contact with the music was through recordings, the pre-history of jazz has tended to disappear from history. This effect is particularly dramatic in consideration of the innumerable dancers, singers, in- strumentalists, comedians, or actors of African decent active in Europe, who were often also disregarded and despised as a racial minority. While I did my research I also came across other aspects of the cross-cultural fertilization: German musicians playing for audiences - including black audiences - in the US in the last century, for instance, or natives from Ger- man colonies being exhibited in the zoo right here in Hamburg. Let me invite you to turn back the clock about a hundred years and examine some strange evidence - paper documents, recorded sounds and moving images.

  • ARSC Journal, Spring 1993 85 Current Bibliography
    CURRENT BIBLIOGRAPHY By Tim Brooks "Current Bibliography" is an annotated index to research on recording history that has appeared recently in small circulation journals. To be indexed here an article must be in English, be reasonably substantive, and deal with recording history-as opposed to musicology, sociology, or contemporary subjects such as reviews. "W/D" or "discog." indicates that the article was accompanied by something at least remotely resembling a discography. Issues covered this time were received between October, 1992 and March, 1993. If you contact one of these publishers or authors, please mention ARSC and "Current Bibliography." Notes We note with pleasure the rebirth oftheAntique Phonograph News, the organ of the Canadian Antique Phonograph Society (founded 1970). Under the editorship of Barry Ashpole, what had long been a perfectly pleasant but ordinary collectors' society newsletter has been transformed into a very professional-looking journal, with short but informed articles on a variety of78 rpm-era subjects, both Canadian and international. The illustrations are particularly handsome, with the latest issue including a photo spread ofrare early acoustic phonographs. As with some other small collector's journals, the use of computerized desktop publishing appears to have worked wonders. Small­ press editors who have not yet made use of DTP ought t6 investigate doing so. Bill Griggs, Buddy Holly expert and longtime publisher of collectors' magazines, has suspended publication of Rochin' 50s at issue No. 38, which featured an interesting article on producer Dick Jacobs. Financial problems and what appears to be constant infighting among the keepers of the Holly flame caused the suspension, which came after an appeal for contributions failed.

  • Miss Nettie Goff – a Minstrel and Vaudeville Trombonist
    Miss Nettie Goff – a minstrel and vaudeville trombonist Gavin Holman, 20 March 2021 Nettie Goff was born on 2nd June 1875 in Rochester, New York (though some later records give this as May 1876 and 2nd June 1877). Nothing is known of her parents or her childhood, but she did learn to play the trombone which later became her career. As an African-American, and a girl, her education and musical opportunities may not have been the equal of her white, male counterparts, but this does not seem to have affected her abilities in later life. She performed as a solo artist, with various minstrel troupes, and also as part of the bands that were associated with them. Sadly, we have very few specific details of her trombone performances, and the only known photographs of her come from two of her passports. The Nashville Students She appears first as part of the Grand Colored Concert Company “The Nashville Students”, billed as the “only colored lady slide-trombonist”, providing an enjoyable entertainment of ‘songs and dances, and a great variety of specialities’, at the City Hall, Washington, Kansas, on Friday 22 September 1893. A subsequent appearance was at the Opera House, Strong City, Kansas, on Wednesday 18 October 1893 The next recorded performance I have found is on Friday 23 August 1895, at the Opera House, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The public were exhorted to come and see the “best of singing, dancing and specialities all to conclude with their funny comedy ‘Aunt Janes Wooden Wedding’. Tickets 25 and 25 cents. Jas.

  • Subject Guide
    Subject Guide Black Sound AMS/2012/ PERIODICALS/31 PERIODICALS/10 Introduction Founded in 1981, Black Cultural Archives’ mission is to collect, preserve and celebrate the heritage and history of Black people in Britain. Our unparalleled and growing archive collection offers insight into the history of African and Caribbean descent in Britain and includes personal papers, organisational records, rare books, ephemera, photographs, and a small object collection. The bulk of the material is drawn from the twentieth century to the present day, while some material dates as far back as the second century. This introductory subject guide includes a list of selected sources held by the Black Cultural Archives which relate directly to this subject area, as well as material held elsewhere. This subject guide is intended to extend upon the three themes featured in the Black Sound exhibition. This guide is not intended to be an exhaustive manual to the entire subject of Black British music, but as a companion to the Black Sound exhibition. This narrative is recreated here with kind permission of Lloyd Bradley. The themes of Black Sound are as follows: Original imports: Highlighting the array of Black artists, mostly from America, who visited Britain for work from 1919 onwards, but who ended up living here. In particular we look at the one of the earliest known African clubs, the Florence Mills Social parlour DIY Culture: Symbolizing the creativity in music this section looks at the pirate radio stations of the 1960s through accessible technology that was relatively inexpensive and had massive potential audience. Pirate radio crystalised the moment the underground went overground on a massive scale.
