  • The Influence of Louis Armstrong on the Harlem Renaissance 1923-1930
    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES DECUIR, MICHAEL B.A. SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AT NEW ORLEANS, 1987 M.A. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, 1989 THE INFLUENCE OF LOUIS ARMSTRONG ON THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE 1923–1930 Committee Chair: Timothy Askew, Ph.D. Dissertation dated August 2018 This research explores Louis Armstrong’s artistic choices and their impact directly and indirectly on the African-American literary, visual and performing arts between 1923 and 1930 during the period known as the Harlem Renaissance. This research uses analyses of musical transcriptions and examples of the period’s literary and visual arts to verify the significance of Armstrong’s influence(s). This research also analyzes the early nineteenth century West-African musical practices evident in Congo Square that were present in the traditional jazz and cultural behaviors that Armstrong heard and experienced growing up in New Orleans. Additionally, through a discourse analysis approach, this research examines the impact of Armstrong’s art on the philosophical debate regarding the purpose of the period’s art. Specifically, W.E.B. Du i Bois’s desire for the period’s art to be used as propaganda and Alain Locke’s admonitions that period African-American artists not produce works with the plight of blacks in America as the sole theme. ii THE INFLUENCE OF LOUIS ARMSTRONG ON THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE 1923–1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES BY MICHAEL DECUIR DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA AUGUST 2018 © 2018 MICHAEL DECUIR All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest debt of gratitude goes to my first music teacher, my mother Laura.

  • A Different Drummer I
    A Different Drummer Even music can be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America. I. Over the course of his long teaching life, Allan Bloom looked out upon a revolution in the manners and morals of students, and in the latter part of his life, he surveyed it in his book, The Closing of the American Mind . Those who were once civil acted savage, those who were noble, or might be, acted bad, and the good just act ed "nice. " Many are the causes of this revolution that Bloom discerned, but none was more surprising to his readers than Rock music. Bloom charged it with impoverishing the souls of American students. The pleasure Rock provides is selfish, coarse, masturbational, and addictive, he said, and he reported that even those who liberate themselves from it, seldom regain the capacity to feel anything deeply, to care for another human being, or to long for something great . Rock music awakens in the young no hero worship, except for the likes of Mick Jagger, no hero he. In truth, Rock music is very different from the music that might accompany a soldier marching, a woman praying, the young courting, or a philosopher teaching, for example teaching Mozart , as Bloom did . In it there is nothing that prepares a soul for leisure, for war, or for festivity. Yet Ro ck's corruption of the young had, Bloom observed, not been forbidden by parents, its enfeeblement of the mind had not been opposed by the no-longer in-loco- parentis universities, and its weakening of the nation had been ignored by statesmen.

Under your guidance, my ability to write and research has grown exponentially. This thesis, as it stands today, would not exist without your help and input. Second, I would like to thank all of the individuals who helped proofread my work throughout the writing process including: Brooke Thomas, my mother, Cheryl Sullivan, Mrs. Sherri Blankenship, and all of the unlucky souls that helped me at the Writing Center in my hours of need. Specifically, I would like to thank Jordan Walker who, despite recently losing her mother and returning from mission work in Haiti, took the time to edit and review my second chapter.

BOX 1413 LEICESTER LE2 8ZE U.K. TEL: (0044) 0116 270 6325 MOBILE: (0044) 07968 327155 E-MAIL: [email protected] www.sadmanrecords.com Welcome to Sadman Records News 63. Again, there is a mixture of set-price and auction items. As usual, the set-price records can be ordered, paid for and sent to you now. Alternatively, the set-price items can be reserved and paid for at a later date, either when the auction closes or put aside and collected from an upcoming record fair (see below). Again, there is no LP auction this time; instead there is a larger modern jazz set-price list. Finally, I need to point out that 2020 may well be the last year that I send out such large lists. I am aiming to at least partially retire by the end of the year. This means that I want to sell large quantities of my remaining stock. I have now managed to sell most of my excess stock of 78s. However, if you, or anyone you know, are interested in buying a quantity of LPs, please get in touch. SEE YOU AT THE RECORD FAIR: For the first time for as long as I can remember, this regular feature of our lists is a blank. This is, of course, not through any dimunition in our enthusiam for such events but as a result of the current crisis we are all living through. At present the Utrecht Fair in November is still pencilled in but I fear, in the end, this event will go the same way as the one that should have been held in April.
