NOLA‐The Big Easy the Mississippi River & the Riverwalk NOLA‐The Big Easy New Orleans is a marvelous city. Its known for its food, music, streets, parties, festivals and celebrations, but more‐so its cultural history. The sign to the left indicates when the city began. How it grew and what has happened in over nearly 320 years makes for great history and cultural experiences. The nickname “Big Easy” has not been authenticated in terms of its origin. There are several thoughts though. One was when it was compared by a NOLA journalist to New York City, the Big Apple, calling New Orleans the Big Easy. Another has to do with jazz and baseball. Finally, a local saying, is the fact that at one time, it was the least expensive place to live. Take your pick. Source: <communitytableparadelcom> Let’s take a tour around the city with this photo program. The Mississippi River & The Riverwalk The Port of New Orleans is the sixth largest port in the country and has the longest wharf in the world, just over two miles long. It has a Riverwalk where you can shop, eat, take a ferry or cruise and watch huge cargo boats sail up and down the river. The Gulf of Mexico is 97 miles downstream. New Orleans saw it’s first steamboat, the New Orleans, on January 10, 1812. It started its journey from Pittsburgh on October 20, 1811. The captain of the ship was Nicolas Roosevelt. His great‐grand uncle was President Theodore Roosevelt. The New Orleans stayed in the lower Mississippi until it sank near Baton Rouge in 1814. French Market The French Market dates to a Native America trading post even before the Europeans came to America. Café du Monde is believed to be the site of the first trading post. The Market’s name was originally known as the “Meat Shops or Market.” It was the only section of the French Quarter where meat was sold. Later as more meat markets were open, the name French Market was used. Many festivals are held in this area and food of all kinds can be found. Wrot iron porches and flowers are a trademark of the French Quarter. (See Louisiana NOLA Food for more photo delights.) Jackson Square In the 18th century, the “Place d’Armes” was the original name of the place. It was changed in honor of Andrew Jackson, hero in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. It was a major battle against the British. Place d’Armes was a military location to store munitions, and a parade ground or assembly point for soldiers. There are several other cities that have similar named locations. The St. Louis Cathedral is found in Jackson Square. It is a place where artists congregate. The apartments in this location are fashionable and high‐end places to live. New Orleans Streetcars The St. Charles, Canal Street and Riverfront lines are three of the best and most memorable ways to see the city. The St. Charles Avenue and Carrolton Avenue lines have been in operation for more than 150 years. This line covers 13.2 miles through the oldest section of uptown to mansions and historic monuments. The Canal Street Line passes through the central business district and ends near historic cemeteries. Another line passes by many museums and near the Fairgrounds Race Track. The Riverfront Line passes the Aquarium of the Americas (see NOLAaquarium) and the French Market. Other lines have been added since those previously mentioned, see the source below. New Orleans electric rail vehicles are called streetcars, not trolleys. It was the first city west of the Allegheny Mountains to use streetcars. Some of the streetcars were built in the 1920s.

From here, the traditional revelry of "Boeuf Gras," or fatted calf, followed France to her colonies.” <http://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/history.html> According to Arthur Hardy and the Rex Organization at <neworleansonline.com> “Rex has been the global symbol of New Orleans’ most famous holiday since his first appearance in 1872. The all‐male krewe is responsible for the concept of day parades, for the official Mardi Gras flag and colors – green for faith, gold for power, purple for justice – and for the anthem of Carnival, “If I Ever Cease to Love,” as well as for one of the most popular throws, the doubloon.” Mardi Gras, “Fat Tuesday” in French, is the last opportunity to eat rich food before fasting for Lent which begins the following day. It is a Christian celebration that was initiated by the Roman Catholic Church to discourage sex and eating meat during Lent. Fat Tuesday is based on the Gregorian Calendar when Easter is celebrated, therefore Fat Tuesday can fall on any Tuesday between February 3rd and March 9th. Fat Tuesday is also known as Shrove Tuesday and Pancake Tuesday. This comes from an English observance that dates to 1000 AD, a day of confession and penitence. In Latin the words translate as “farewell to meat.” New Orleans, Brazil’s Rio de Janerio, France’s Nice and Germany’s Cologne are famous for holding Mardi Gras carnivals. Note, other communities’ world‐wide also have carnival. Have more questions? <http://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/faq.html> Music and Musicians The contribution to music via New Orleans can be summed up in one word, diverse. African American slaves who congregated to play music and dance with brass instruments led to jazz and ragtime. Cuban music from Afro‐Cubans brought in such music as the tango. The Spanish influence and the term habanera was heard during the 1860s. Funeral processions during the 1880s used brass bands to play what they called dirges, music that expressed sorrow and mourning for the dead. Dixieland and rhythm & blues and rock & roll also were prominent in New Orleans as well as hip‐hop and heavy metal. Who were some of the great musicians from New Orleans? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/worldfolkandjazz/10480111/20‐great‐musicians‐from‐New‐Orleans.html Mentioned: Buddy Bolden, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Johnny Dodds, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong, Henry ‘Red’ Allen, Tuts Washington, Champion Jack Dupree, Louis Prima, Mahalia Jackson, Professor Longhair, Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino, James Booker, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Aaron Neville, Randy Newman, Winton Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, Harry Connick, Kemit Ruffins and Trombone Shorty. acuri.net John R.

  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    As Fate Would Have It Pat Sajak and Vanna White would have been quite at home in New Orleans in January 1828. It was announced back then in L’Abeille de Nouvelle-Orléans (New Orleans Bee) that “Malcolm’s Celebrated Wheel of Fortune” was to “be handsomely illuminated this and to-morrow evenings” on Chartres Street “in honour of the occasion”. The occasion was the “Grand Jackson Celebration” where prizes totaling $121,800 were to be awarded. The “Wheel of Fortune” was known as Rota Fortunae in medieval times, and it captured the concept of Fate’s capricious nature. Chaucer employed it in the “Monk’s Tale”, and Dante used it in the “Inferno”. Shakespeare had many references, including “silly Fortune’s wildly spinning wheel” in “Henry V”. And Hamlet had those “slings and arrows” with which to contend. Dame Fortune could indeed be “outrageous”. Rota Fortunae by the Coëtivy Master, 15th century In New Orleans her fickle wheel caused Ignatius Reilly’s “pyloric valve” to close up. John Kennedy Toole’s fictional protagonist sought comfort in “The Consolation of Philosophy” by Boethius, but found none. Boethius wrote, “Are you trying to stay the force of her turning wheel? Ah! Dull-witted mortal, if Fortune begins to stay still, she is no longer Fortune.” Ignatius Reilly found “Consolation” in the “Philosophy” of Boethius. And Boethius had this to say about Dame Fortune: “I know the manifold deceits of that monstrous lady, Fortune; in particular, her fawning friendship with those whom she intends to cheat, until the moment when she unexpectedly abandons them, and leaves them reeling in agony beyond endurance.” Ignatius jotted down his fateful misfortunes in his lined Big Chief tablet adorned with a most impressive figure in full headdress.

Every possible occasion picnics, advertising, trips on the Mississippi was provided with music; every place of diversion the bars, theatres, brothels and gambling joints had its musicians. Parades by the various organi- zations had their brass bands, which also played for the unique New Orleans funerals, and dance orchestras of all types were to be heard within the city limits. In the Creole and Negro districts there was scarcely a family who did not boast of several part-time musicians, and there were hundreds of skilled local professionals playing in the various parade bands, jazz bands, society bands and riverboat orchestras. To judge from the material collected by later historians, the doings of the favourite musicians of the city were looked upon with the same interest which 1 the mass of people today accord to sporting heroes and popular cinema or television personalities. There were trumpet players known for their vivacious playing and stamina on the long parades, and others who specialized in the dirges played on the way to and at the graveside; one trumpet player will be remembered for his volume and exuberance in the lower-class dance-halls, another for his unique ability and power of expression on the blues.

  • Dr. Michael White Is One of Todays Primary Exponents of Classic New Orleans Jazz
    TKA BIOGRAPHY Current as of 9/2011 Dr. Michael White A NIGHT IN TREME Dr. Michael White is one of todays primary exponents of classic New Orleans jazz. The unique experiences that the clarinetist has had throughout his career and his ability to articulate the significance and timelessness of the music has made him a highly influential force and performer. Having suffered tremendous losses due to Hurricane Katrina, White has emerged with what promises to be his finest CD, Blue Crescent. This set of new New Orleans music features him, like the Crescent City, determined to rebuild, keeping the classic style not only alive but continually creative, and looking towards both the past with loving memory and the future. Last December, Dr. Michael White had his first break since Katrina. Exhausted from having to deal with personal and professional difficulties, he took time off to stay at the local artist retreat facility, A Studio In The Woods. Thinking about his next recording, he felt suddenly rejuvenated and inspired, writing over three dozen songs within a short period of time. The 36 plus songs represent more than I had written in my whole life, says the clarinetist. In the music what Ive tried to do is think about the importance of New Orleans, the history of the Crescent City, the after-effects of Hurricane Katrina, and the future. What I did not want to do was have a maudlin post- Katrina recording with an excess of sadness. Most of the songs are intended to represent the joyous part of New Orleans, the determination to carry on and the musics heritage.

Uno de ellos, el más primitivo, se fabricaba haciendo un corte, para la boquilla, en un palo de caña o bambú y añadiendo unos agujeros más abajo. Ya buscando instrumentos un poco más elaborados que guarden relación con el clarinete tenemos: -El arghul egipcio, que se creó sobre el año 3000 a.C. Es un instrumento de viento madera de lengüeta simple formado por dos tubos. Uno de ellos, más corto, tenía agujeros (de cinco a siete) con los que se interpretaban las melodías; otro era más largo y actuaba como pedal, es decir, era el sonido prolongado sobre el que se desarrolla la melodía. Su longitud es variable para poder modificar su tono. Este instrumento se utiliza actualmente en Egipto y en otros países árabes para acompañar la danza del vientre y en otros tipos de músicas tradicionales. -El launeddas era un instrumento conocido en Grecia y en Egipto. Estaba compuesto por tres tubos desiguales: dos de ellos melódicos y otro de pedal. - El machalat es un instrumento hebreo compuesto por un depósito de aire y un tubo de caña. -El shakuhachi es una flauta de caña de bambú que se sujeta verticalmente. Es de origen chino, pero en el siglo VIII fue introducido en Japón. Este instrumento tiene una boquilla por la que se sopla el aire y cinco agujeros para interpretar los sonidos.

His first impressive musical experiences were hearing tlie calliopes on the excursion and show boats which ^ came to and by Canton. He first wanted to play bass drum when lie heard the orchestra in his Sunday School, but he began playing violin when he was ten. His real name is Russell William Wagner. In about 1929 Tne began writing music; Henry Cowell published some of his music in 1933 and WR decided the use of the name Wagner 6n music would be about equal to writing a play and signing it Henry [or Jack or Frank, etc,] Shalcespeare, so he changed his name for that professional reason. His parents are of German ancestry. His father had a zither, which WR and a brother used for playing at .r concerts a la Chautauqua. He remembers hearing Negro bands on the boats playing good jazz as early as 1917 or 1915, and he was fascinated by it, although he felt jazz might contaminate his classical studies. He played in\^ fraternity band at college. He y studied chemistry at college although his main interest was music, He went to Chicago to continue studying music in 1924, and he says 1^e didn't have sense enough to go to the places where King Oliver/ the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, and others were playing then, and he has since regretted that.

  • Fabrizio Meloni Clarinettoil Prefazione
    Fabrizio Meloni clarinettoil Prefazione a stesura di questo libro` e stata certamente un’impre- sa lunga e difficoltosa, ma al tempo stesso stimolante ed eccitante. Per un musicista, infatti,` e molto piu` semplice espri- L mersi attraverso la musica, e portare sulla carta sen- sazioni, emozioni o semplici intuizioni tecniche si` e rivelato un compito arduo. Daremo ampio spazio al profilo storico e all’aspetto tecnico (respirazione, emissione, vocalita`), ma cio` che ci siamo prefissi come obiettivo fondamentale` e quello di porci con la massima naturalezza e sponta- neita` nei confronti dello strumento. Creare con uno strumento timbri, suoni e articolazio- ni` e esattamente cio` che gli esseri umani sono in gra- do di produrre anche con la voce; da una semplice pa- rola ad una piu` complessa metamorfosi di dinamiche e colori dalle innumerevoli e repentine alterazioni emo- tive o semplicemente imitative. xiii Prefazione Se tutto cio`chee` nelle nostre facolta` avviene quasi naturalmente, almeno per quanto riguarda il linguag- gio articolato che` e proprio degli uomini, cosı` come per quello figurativo, teatrale e musicale` e il complesso dei mezzi espressivi, dovremmo essere in grado di produr- re un suono cercando di ottenerlo con la massima semplicita`. Proprio questo atteggiamento` e tipico dell’improvvisa- zione come mezzo espressivo nella musica jazz, lin- guaggio che, per il musicista di estrazione classica, risulta a volte difficile da decifrare. L’improvvisazione rappresenta una sorta di transfert verso i confini piu` intimi e le emozioni piu` profonde che solo la padro- nanza assoluta dei ritmi, dei linguaggi piu` complessi e delle contaminazioni stilistiche consente di liberare e ascoltare.

  • LICORICE STICK: SOME THOUGHTS on the CLARINET in JAZZ by Ian Muldoon* ______
    LICORICE STICK: SOME THOUGHTS ON THE CLARINET IN JAZZ by Ian Muldoon* _____________________________________________________ n 1979 I was invited to present a jazz programme on 2ARM-FM, a community radio station based on the campus of University of New England, Armidale. The I station manager was Karen (Kaz) Harris, who gave me free reign over the content of my programme consistent with the broadcasting act. It was a very fine community radio station which served the (musically and culturally diverse and well educated) community well. After a time Kaz asked whether I’d be interested in making a series of 30-minute radio programmes on Australian jazz using a contemporary as opposed to historical approach. I said I was willing but funds would restrict my efforts to Sydney to which she replied, “Well something is way better than nothing, and we have very little at our station relevant to the present scene regarding Australian jazz.” I was loaned a professional recorder and travelled to Sydney at a time when Terumasa Hino, John Scofield and Adam Nussbaum were among the international musicians appearing in Sydney at that time. I interviewed Bob Barnard, Judy Bailey, Dick Hughes, Merv Acheson and others but the musician that gave me an unforgettable musical moment was John McCarthy. John McCarthy: an unforgettable musical moment…PHOTOGRAPHER UNKNOWN _________________________________________________________ *Ian Muldoon has been a jazz enthusiast since, as a child, he heard his aunt play Fats Waller and Duke Ellington on the household piano. At around ten years of age he was given a windup record player and a modest supply of steel needles, on which he played his record collection, consisting of two 78s, one featuring Dizzy Gillespie and the other Fats Waller.
