    XIII. Revivals and Recreations; The Sociology of Jazz By the early 1970s, as we have seen, jazz was in a state of stylistic chaos. This was one reason why the first glimmers of “smooth jazz” came about as both an antidote to fusion and an answer to “outside jazz.” But classical music was also in a state of chaos. The majority of listen- ers had become sick of listening to the modern music that had come to dominate the field since the end of World War II and had only become more abrasive and less communicative to a lay audience. In addition, the influx of young television executives in that period had not only led to the cancellation of many well-loved programs who they felt only appealed to an older audience demographic, but also the chopping out of virtually all arts programming. Such long-running programs as The Voice of Firestone and The Bell Telephone Hour were already gone by then. Leonard Bernstein had been replaced at the New York Philharmonic by Michael Tilson Thomas, an excellent conductor but not a popular communicator, and thus CBS’s “Young People’s Con- certs” no longer had the same appeal. In addition, both forms of music, classical and jazz, were the victims of an oil shortage that grossly affected American pressings of vinyl LPs. What had once been a high quality market was now riddled with defective copies of discs which had blis- ters in the vinyl, scratchy-sounding surfaces and wore out quickly. Record buyers who were turned off by this switched to cassette tapes or, in some cases, the new eight-track tape format.

    NJA British Jazz Timeline with Pics(Rev3) 11.06.19

    British Jazz Timeline Pre-1900 – In the beginning The music to become known as ‘jazz’ is generally thought to have been conceived in America during the second half of the nineteenth century by African-Americans who combined their work songs, melodies, spirituals and rhythms with European music and instruments – a process that accelerated after the abolition of slavery in 1865. Black entertainment was already a reality, however, before this evolution had taken place and in 1873 the Fisk Jubilee Singers, an Afro- American a cappella ensemble, came to the UK on a fundraising tour during which they were asked to sing for Queen Victoria. The Fisk Singers were followed into Britain by a wide variety of Afro-American presentations such as minstrel shows and full-scale revues, a pattern that continued into the early twentieth century. [The Fisk Jubilee Singers c1890s © Fisk University] 1900s – The ragtime era Ragtime, a new style of syncopated popular music, was published as sheet music from the late 1890s for dance and theatre orchestras in the USA, and the availability of printed music for the piano (as well as player-piano rolls) encouraged American – and later British – enthusiasts to explore the style for themselves. Early rags like Charles Johnson’s ‘Dill Pickles’ and George Botsford’s ‘Black and White Rag’ were widely performed by parlour-pianists. Ragtime became a principal musical force in American and British popular culture (notably after the publication of Irving Berlin’s popular song ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’ in 1911 and the show Hullo, Ragtime! staged at the London Hippodrome the following year) and it was a central influence on the development of jazz.

    THE INFLUENCE of BIX BEIDERBECKE – VOLUME ONE: USA by Max Easterman Even Though It Became Known As “The Jazz Age”, Real Ja

    THE INFLUENCE OF BIX BEIDERBECKE – VOLUME ONE: USA By Max Easterman Even though it became known as “The Jazz Age”, real jazz was rarely popular in its own right during the 1920s, as witness the rarity of many of the finest jazz recordings from this era. Jazzmen – particularly white jazzmen – made much more money and often won greater fame using it to pep up dance music than they ever did making pure jazz recordings, though, of course, it’s by the jazz they played on records that we now judge their worth. Such is the distorting mirror of history! Of course, to the general public of the time, arranged dance music played with a rhythmic bounce and offering the occasional jazz-like solo was what they thought of as “jazz”. Two recordings suffice to illustrate the point. The recording of Paul Whiteman’s Back In Your Own Backyard , issued in March 1928, sold 88,000 copies; Bix’s recording of Somebody Stole My Gal , recorded a few weeks later, made sales of only 2400. The first is a highly arranged dance band recording containing just two short solos by Bix; the latter is a romping jazz gem, on which Bix flies like a bird throughout and inspires his fellows to greater things than they knew they were capable of. Bix was a legend in his lifetime for the men who played with him, or listened to him and tried to play like him. But for the general public, who bought the discs, he was just another name, a name which only became significant, for some of them, long after his death.
