  • How Mimi Perrin Translated Jazz Instrumentals Into French Song
    BENJAMIN GIVAN How Mimi Perrin Translated Jazz Instrumentals into French Song “Just like the th at the beginning of they and at the beginning of theater.” “What’s different about the sound of theater and they?” “Say them again and listen. One’s voiced and the other’s unvoiced, they’re as distinct as V and F; only they’re allophones—at least in British English; so British- ers are used to hearing them as though they were the same phoneme.” —Samuel R. Delany, Babel- 171 —Prenez par exemple, en français, le C de cure et de constitution. —Quelle est la différence? —Répétez chaque mot en vous écoutant bien. Le premier est palatal, articulé sur le sommet du palais, et le second vélaire, sur le voile du palais. Il s’agit simplement de variantes combinatoires dues à l’environnement. —Samuel R. Delany, Babel- 17, translated by Mimi Perrin2 Translating prose from one language to another can often be a thorny task, especially with a text, such as the above extract from Samuel R. Delany’s Babel- 17, whose meaning or literary effect is inseparable from its voiced sound. For the French edition of this 1966 science fiction novel, its translator, Mimi Perrin (1926–2010), had little choice but to completely recompose Delany’s paragraph. Where the English original contrasts “they” with “theater” to illustrate voiced and unvoiced phonemes, she instead cites the French words cure and constitution to demonstrate palatal and velar pronunciations of the consonant c, meanwhile omitting Dela- ny’s comparison of American and British English. To convey the author’s argument about interlingual phonetic perception, she had to forgo his text’s literal word- for- word meaning and transpose its fictional setting Benjamin Givan is associate professor of music at Skidmore College.

An Abstract of Jon Hendricks, Father of Vocalese: A Toledo Story By Lee Ellen Martin Submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Music Degree in Jazz Performance The University of Toledo May 2010 At 88 years young Jon Hendricks has lived a life of which some only dream. For over half a century Hendricks has changed the ways in which vocal jazz is performed. Hendricks‟ creative genius lies in his prolific output of Vocalese, the art of setting lyrics to an established instrumental recording. From his vocalese lyric writing talents to his instrumental approach to improvisation, Hendricks revolutionized jazz singing and has become a historical icon in jazz. Like Art Tatum, Jon Hendricks spent his early years in Toledo Ohio and continues to be an important thread in the fabric of Toledo Jazz history. Using an oral history approach, this paper examines Jon Hendricks‟ early life, his influences and what led up to his most successful recording, “Sing a Song of Basie” with Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.

Made up of Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks, and Annie Ross, they were the only interracial and mixed gender vocal jazz group in the United States in the late 1950s. In the wake of the Montgomery bus boycott victory and President Eisenhower’s consideration of the Equal Rights Act, the trio became one of the most popular vocal jazz groups of the day by singing lyricized arrangements of famous instrumental jazz recordings through a medium called vocalese. Although they seemed to reflect a utopian ideal of an integrated American society, each member of the group faced unique challenges. Referred to as the Poet Laureate of Jazz, African American lyricist and singer Jon Hendricks considers himself “a person who plays the horn without the horn,” and he is known for his gift with words.
