  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

The 1970s hit parade includes “You Light Up My Life,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” “Joy to the World,” and, of course, “The Way We Were.” Hamlisch fondly recalls the way we were in the 1970s.

There have been plenty of shows on both FM and TV to assist you in capturing the joy and hope of a new year. Last month, I promised we would be busy in 2011. Indeed, we are already off and running! On Thursday the 6th at 7:30pm, we debut our new agricultural TV series Field Trip! I’d be surprised if every week you didn’t think “Wow! I didn’t know that!” at least once. It was three years in the making and the folks that are listed in the credits deserve a great deal of thanks. Please join us in Alamogordo on Wednesday the 19th. From 9a – 11a, we will be at Plateau Espresso for a Coffee Visit. It will be good to see old friends and, hope you will let us buy you a cup of coffee and allow us to introduce ourselves. It is a month of Jazz, too. FM has some special features during the Las Cruces celebration. Each Thursday evening, TV will present Jazz programming. Everything culminates with a special performance by the Jim Cullum Band on Sunday evening the 23rd at the NMSU Recital Hall. The crew from the Riverwalk radio show (Saturdays at 8p) always puts on a great show. Plus, you can join us at the Ramada Inn afterwards to meet the band members. Call 646-2222 for tickets.

  • Riverwalk Jazz’ Personified
    ‘Riverwalk Jazz’ Personified By TOM NOLAN Tuesday October 6, 2009 This season the weekly "Riverwalk Jazz" radio program and its centerpiece Jim Cullum Jazz Band celebrate their 20th year of broadcasts, heard in some 200 cities via Public Radio International. The anniversary events culminate on Oct. 7 with a trio of Cullum Band concerts in San Antonio's Pearl Stable, to be recorded for airing in October and November. It seemed almost inevitable that Mr. Cullum would make a career of jazz. The son of a man who played clarinet and tenor- saxophone in such orchestras as Jack Teagarden's, Mr. Cullum's earliest memories are of middle-of-the-night jam sessions at his family home in Dallas, with such players as Teagarden, Bobby Hackett and Adrian Rollini. "Adrian Rollini at this point was playing vibes and chimes and had a big band," Mr. Cullum, now 67, said by telephone from San Antonio. "He was not playing bass saxophone anymore," an instrument Mr. Rollini had favored in the 1920s when he recorded with Bix Beiderbecke. "But my father had a bass saxophone which he'd bought for $50 as sort of a novelty; it was stored behind the sofa. So some guys were there playin', and Rollini played the thing. They put on the Bix records, and he played along with the records. It was a kick!" Many jazz roads lead back to Beiderbecke, that lyrical horn-player who died in 1931 at age 28. "Teagarden thought Bix was the greatest artist that had ever played, period," says Mr.
