German-born clarinetist Susanne Ortner and American jazz pianist Tom Roberts met in Pittsburgh while performing in 2006 and formed the Ortner-Roberts Duo in 2007, melding the two supposedly unrelated musical and cultural influences of Harlem Stride Piano and Klezmer to form a whole new style they affectionately call "Yiddish/Creole Fusion." The Roberts have thoroughly immersed themselves in the music of the '20s, '30s, and '40s as well and painstakingly recreate the music of Benny Goodman, Jelly Roll Morton, Artie Shaw, and Sidney Bechet among others, evoking "the thicksweet air of New Orleans or the glamour of a shimmering dancehall... in Chicago or New York City."

  • 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.

  • Johnny Green's Body and Soul. from New York to London and Back
    Johnny Green’s Body and Soul. From New York to London and Back. Albert Haim John Simpson’s Blog, August 13, 2011 It starts in silence. By the end, the singer has thrown him- or herself melodramatically, almost operatically on the mercy of a lost love. It’s drenched in self-pity, but was written for and first performed by a woman once dubbed “Hollywood’s first maneater.” One of its most famous covers includes no vocal at all, and barely follows the tune. And it’s gone on to become, arguably, the single most-recorded pop standard in history. Introduction. Body and Soul, a 1929 composition by Johnny Green (music), Edward Heyman, Robert Sour and Frank Eyton (lyrics) is the most recorded song of all times. Tom Lord’s jazz discography lists over 2000 recordings and broadcast performances of the song and there probably are nearly 3000. Body and Soul is both a jazz standard and a popular song. In view of the importance of the tune in the realms of jazz and popular music, it is surprising that the literature (both print and internet) provides incorrect information about the genesis of the song –where, when and for whom it was composed and what are the dates of the first recordings. It has been reported that Body and Soul was sung by Gertrude Lawrence in England in the summer of 1929. The song spread like wildfire (in the very words of Johnny Green himself, see below) and by the end of 1930, there were seventeen recordings of the song in England.

    Understanding Legends in History Using “Heebie Jeebies” by Louis Armstrong The Basics Time Required 1-2 class periods Subject Areas 11th Grade US History Emergence of Modern America, 1890-1930 Common Core Standards Addressed: Writing Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies 6-12 Author Mark Brown (2004) The Lesson Introduction Louis Armstrong was born on August 4, 1901 in New Orleans. His father abandoned him, and young Louis went to work to help support the family. On January 1, 1913, Armstrong was arrested for firing a pistol in the air and was adjudicated to the Colored Waifs Home. There he learned how to play the coronet. When Armstrong returned to New Orleans, he began to follow King Oliver’s band. When Oliver left for Chicago in 1918, Armstrong took over his chair.1 In 1922, Oliver invited Armstrong to Chicago, where he made his first recording, “Chime Blues.” As Armstrong’s fame grew, he began recording with his own band, The Hot Fives. On February 26, 1926, they recorded “Heebie Jeebies.” This was a major hit for the band and introduced scat singing2 to a wider audience. Legend3 has it that Armstrong dropped the sheet music and invented a scat so as not to waste the tape. This is a story that Armstrong perpetuated himself. In a 1951 interview for Esquire Magazine, Armstrong commented on many of his early recordings with the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens. For the recording of “Heebie Jeebies” Armstrong said “[W]hen I dropped the paper, I immediately turned into the horn4 and started to scatting.
