Musikbett Musikstunde {00:16} AT Aufgewachsen in einem oft tief-gläubigen Umfeld, haben viele Jazzmusikerinnen und Musiker Religion als ganz selbstverständlichen Teil ihres Lebens verstanden – und keinen Widerspruch gesehen zu dem eher lasterhaften Image, das ihrer Kunstform lange Zeit nachhing: Der Jazz von der Straße, aus den Bordellen, Nachtclubs und Drogenhöllen als Ausdruck von Gotteslob? Das stieß bei einigen Kirchenkonservativen auch auf Ablehnung. “Ist Jazz Sünde mit Synkopen?“ So war 1921 ein Artikel im „Women’s Home Journal“ überschrieben: Darin ist dann unter anderem von Jazz als ursprünglichem Voodoo-Phänomen die Rede: barbarische Musik, vor deren demoralisierender Wirkung man sich hüten müsse.

  • Boyhood and Other Days in Georgia
    Boyhood and Other Days in Georgia BY George W Yarbrough, D.D. Superannuate Member or the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South Edited by H. M. DU BOSE, D.D. BOOK EDITOR METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH NASHVILLE, TENN. DALLAS, TEX.J RICHMOND, VA. PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH SMITH & LAMAR, AGENTS 1917 EDITOR'S NOTE Biography is the soul of history; without it the annals of no nation would possess relevancy or carry a teaching force. The present volume belongs to the class of biography, but it is biography of a unique character; it is doubtful if it has a parallel in our literature. During the latter years of a min- isterial career of more than half a century, Dr. George W Yarbrough, one of the veteran itinerants of the North Georgia Annual Conference, has been associating his maturest thoughts on all great subjects and the results of his happiest medita- tions with a record of the passing incidents and reminiscences of his life. These records have taken shape in a series of newspaper articles which, from the printing of the first, many years ago, attracted general attention in the Church and have been repeatedly called for in the permanent form of a book. To these reminiscential writings have been added several dis- courses and addresses which, for the most part, are carried along with the same historical and reminiscential current. Also there have been added some personal sketches and stories which give to the volume a delightful flavor of quaintness and indigenous humor.
