  • Dr. Michael White: Biography
    DR. MICHAEL WHITE: BIOGRAPHY Dr. Michael White is among the most visible and important New Orleans musicians today. He is one of only a few of today’s native New Orleans born artists to continue the authentic traditional jazz style. Dr. White is noted for his classic New Orleans jazz clarinet sound, for leading several popular bands, and for his many efforts to preserve and extend the early jazz tradition. Dr. White is a relative of early generation jazz musicians, including bassist Papa John Joseph, clarinetist Willie Joseph, and saxophonist and clarinetist Earl Fouche. White played in St Augustine High School’s acclaimed Marching 100 and Symphonic bands and had several years of private clarinet lessons from the band’s director, Edwin Hampton. He finished magna cum laude from Xavier University of Louisiana with a degree in foreign language education. He received a masters and a doctorate in Spanish from Tulane University. White began teaching Spanish at Xavier University in 1980 and also African American Music History since 1987. Since 2001 he has held the Charles and Rosa Keller Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Xavier. He is the founding director of Xavier’s Culture of New Orleans Series, which highlights the city’s unique culture in programs that combine scholars, authentic practitioners, and live performances. White is also a jazz historian, producer, lecturer, and consultant. He has developed and performed many jazz history themed programs. He has written and published numerous essays in books, journals, and other publications. For the last several years he has been a guest coach at the Juilliard Music School (Juilliard Jazz).

  • New Orleans' Sweet Emma Barrett and Her Preservation Hall Jazz Band
    “New Orleans' Sweet Emma Barrett and her Preservation Hall Jazz Band”--Sweet Emma and her Preservation Hall Jazz Band (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Sammy Stein (guest post)* Sweet Emma Emma Barrett started playing piano aged seven and by 1910, aged just 12, she was performing regularly in bars and clubs in New Orleans. She had a strident, barrelhouse way of playing and quickly became a popular musician. Her penchant for wearing a red woven cap and garters with Christmas bells attached which jingled their accompaniment to the music, earned her the nickname of “Bell Gal.” She was also dubbed “Sweet” because of her artistic temperament apparently. Before forming her own band, Barrett played with Oscar “Papa” Celestin's Original Tuxedo Orchestra from 1923-1928 and, when that band split into two parts, Emma stayed with William “Bebe” Ridgley in his Tuxedo Jazz Orchestra until the mid 1930s when she began performing with trumpeter Sidney Desvigne, violinist player Armand Piron and bandleader, drummer and violinist John Robichaux. After a break from 1938 until 1947, Emma returned to music, playing at the Happy Landing Club in Pecaniere, which led to a renewed interest in her. In the late 1950s, after working with trumpeter Percy Humphrey and Israel Gordon, Barrett formed a band with Percy and his brother Willie, a clarinet player. In the 1960s, Barrett assembled and toured with New Orleans musicians in an ensemble called Sweet Emma and The Bells. She also recorded a live session at the Laura Lea Guest House on Mardi Gras in 1960 with her band: “Sweet Emma Barrett and her Dixieland Boys: Mardi Gras 1960.” It was not released until 1997 on 504 Records.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.

  • GEOFF BULL: an INTERVIEW by Eric Myers ______
    GEOFF BULL: AN INTERVIEW by Eric Myers _________________________________________________________ [This interview appeared in the December 1981 edition of Jazz Magazine] he Sydney cornet player Geoff Bull has been a strong advocate of traditional New Orleans jazz since1958, when he attended the Australian jazz Convention T in Sydney, and became interested in records by early black musicians. Self- taught, he began playing in 1959. In 1962 he formed the Olympia Jazz Band. He has visited New Orleans many times and has toured the US, Europe and Japan with various traditional jazz musicians. He now leads a group which plays at the Cat & Fiddle Hotel, Balmain. Eric Myers: What was the difference between the Bunk Johnson-George Lewis revival of New Orleans jazz in the 1940s, and the original jazz played earlier in the century? Geoff Bull: Well, “revival” is a word that’s been used for it, because they got Bunk [Johnson] playing again - he hadn’t played for many years. But, all through that time, the others were making a living out of playing. It was not a real revival for them. Maybe it was a revival of interest in their music. EM: Had the music evolved much over that time? GB: All sorts of music change in different ways, according to what’s happening at the time, and those guys were playing songs that hadn’t been written in the 20s. They were playing songs from the 40s, but they still played them in much the same Geoff Bull, snapped in 1964-65: he has visited New Orleans many times, and has toured the US, Europe and Japan with various traditional jazz musicians… PHOTO CREDIT NORM LINEHAN 1 style.

  • 1 FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street
    FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street Renaming Commission Preamble How do we do justice to the centuries of history that have unfolded on these 350 square miles of land surrounding the Mississippi River? What is the relationship between this diverse history, its reflection in our city’s officially named spaces and places, and the values we strive to enact as a community? This report, prepared with the input of more than forty of the city’s leading scholars and writers, themselves drawing on more than a century of the most cutting-edge historical and cultural interpretation, offers no definitive answers to these questions. We have been guided throughout though by the conviction that asking these questions, developing a collaborative process, telling the multitudinous stories contained in this report, and reconsecrating some of the spaces in this city is an imperative as New Orleans enters its fourth century of existence as a city. The collective 111 suggestions for renaming streets and parks below makes no claim toward being a definitive history of the city. For every musical innovator like Jelly Roll Morton, Mahalia Jackson, or Mac Rebennack included there is a Bunk Johnson, Emma Jackson, Ernie K-Doe and countless others who have been left out. The four individuals included who fled the men who owned them as slaves near present-day Lakeview are but four of the thousands in this city’s history whose collective individual actions over centuries forced a reluctant nation to finally begin to live up to its highest ideals. The rolls of the First Louisiana Native Guard of the U.S.

  • Those Other New Orleans Musicians Biodiscographies
    THOSE OTHER NEW ORLEANS MUSICIANS BIODISCOGRAPHIES This is a look at some New Orleans musicians (ie musicians born in or near New Orleans or who moved to New Orleans at an early age and “learnt their trade” in New Orleans) who, in the opinion of the writers, have received less attention than they merit in recent years or whose recording careers are obscure. Our choice of musicians is open-ended. If we feel that a musician merits more attention than he or she has hitherto received we will try to put that right by including him or her in our list. We are already working on a number of other musicians who will appear on the list at intervals including a group of piano players. Our aim is to make these players more accessible by listing all their recordings whether or not they were issued. Unissued sessions have a habit of turning up years after the event so, with one or two exceptions, should never be written off. George Buck has acquired a number of catalogues and is gradually issuing previously unissued sessions or sessions unavailable for a long time from the likes of Southland. We eagerly await his future offerings. Some musicians on our list are still being researched by a number of musical scholars (and ourselves!) so we do not claim that this is the last word in many cases. We regard this as a co-operative venture which embraces all those with a love of New Orleans music and we welcome corrections/additions to the information presented and suggestions as to musicians that might be added to the list.
