  • Fats Domino Goin' Home
    “Goin’ Home” We’ll Miss You, Fats “Everybody started calling my music rock and roll, but it wasn't anything but the same rhythm and blues I'd been playing down in New Orleans.” - FATS DOMINO “As far as I know, the music makes people happy. I know it makes me happy.” - FATS DOMINO “Let's face it, I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.” - ELVIS PRESLEY “Well, I wouldn't want to say that I started it (rock „n‟ roll), but I don't remember anyone else before me playing that kind of stuff.” - FATS DOMINO “Even if Fats didn‟t actually invent rock „n‟ roll, he was certainly responsible for accidentally inventing ska, and thus reggae … Antoine „Fats‟ Domino was definitely a great innovator, and richly deserves a much fatter entry in the history books.” – OWEN ADAMS On Tuesday, 3:30 a.m., October 24, 2017, New Orleans and the world lost a pioneering titan of rock „n‟ roll, “Fats” Domino. The popular pianist and singer-songwriter of the Lower 9th Ward was 89. During his career, this influential, yet humble performer sold more than 65 million records and had over 35 hits in the U.S. Billboard Top 40, including “Ain‟t That a Shame,” “Blueberry Hill” and “Blue Monday”. With producer and arranger Dave Bartholomew, “Fats” helped put his hometown on the rock „n‟ roll map. This shy lifelong New Orleanian influenced numerous artists including Paul McCartney and Randy Newman, who once confessed, “I was so influenced by Fats Domino that it‟s still hard for me to write a song that‟s not a New Orleans shuffle.” Domino‟s distinctive barreling triplet-based piano style, backed by a solid backbeat, was something exceptional, a step above traditional rhythm and blues.

  • Fats Domino, Early Rock 'N' Roller with a Boogie-Woogie Piano, Is Dead at 89
    Fats Domino, Early Rock ’n’ Roller With a Boogie-Woogie Piano, Is Dead at 89 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/obituaries/fats-domino-89-one-of-rock-n-rolls-first-stars-is-dead.html October 25, 2017 By JON PARELES and WILLIAM GRIMES Fats Domino in 1967. Fats Domino, the New Orleans rhythm-and-blues singer whose two-fisted boogie-woogie piano and nonchalant vocals, heard on dozens of hits, made him one of the biggest stars of the early rock ’n’ roll era, died on Tuesday at his home in Harvey, La., across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. He was 89. His death was confirmed by the Jefferson Parish coroner’s office. Mr. Domino had more than three dozen Top 40 pop hits through the 1950s and early ’60s, among them “Blueberry Hill,” “Ain’t It a Shame” (also known as “Ain’t That a Shame,” which is the actual lyric), “I’m Walkin’,” “Blue !1 Monday” and “Walkin’ to New Orleans.” Throughout he displayed both the buoyant spirit of New Orleans, his hometown, and a droll resilience that reached listeners worldwide. He sold 65 million singles in those years, with 23 gold records, making him second only to Elvis Presley as a commercial force. Presley acknowledged Mr. Domino as a predecessor. “A lot of people seem to think I started this business,” Presley told Jet magazine in 1957. “But rock ’n’ roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that music like colored people. Let’s face it: I can’t sing it like Fats Domino can.

  • Self-Esteem and Breaking the Cycle of Prison Recidivism Ed Poindexter
    On Heroes and She-roes: Self-Esteem and Breaking the Cycle of Prison Recidivism Ed Poindexter enjoy looking up words in the dictionary to learn their root meaning. In I the old days people knew exactly what they were doing when they assigned names and labels to things, places, events, and states of mind. "Esteem," for example, stems from the Latin word aestimare, and means to appraise, estimate, or give an opinion of. Therefore, self-esteem is the appraisal, estimation, or opinion we have of ourselves. It is a common belief that people with high self-esteem produce good results, and that those with low self-esteem produce poor results. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with self-image, which is the mental picture we have of ourselves. Our thoughts and behaviors are reflections of our self-image. Self-confidence is assurance we have in our abilities. Often confused with conceit, self-love is a prerequisite to truly loving others. Conceit is actually a mask or facade worn to hide such insecurities as an inferiority complex. To fall in love with someone with little or no self-love is asking for trouble. Technically, self-esteem is our opinion of our self-love, self-image and self-confidence. They are so closely related that if one is low the others will sag. Also used interchangeably with self-esteem, self-concept is the sum total of all the above. I have become so preoccupied with these terms over the past ten years that I am convinced people with high self-esteem either do not come to prison, or do but learn from their mistakes, leave, and never return.

  • Henry Butler Bio Widely Hailed As a Pianist and Vocalist, Henry Butler Is
    Henry Butler Bio Widely hailed as a pianist and vocalist, Henry Butler is considered the premier exponent of the great New Orleans jazz and blues piano tradition. A master of musical diversity, he combines the percussive jazz piano playing of McCoy Tyner and the New Orleans style playing of Professor Longhair to craft a sound uniquely his own. A rich amalgam of jazz, Caribbean, classical, pop, blues, and R&B, his music is as excitingly eclectic as that of his New Orleans birthplace. Butler performs as a soloist; with his blues groups—Henry Butler and the Game Band, and Henry Butler and Jambalaya; and with his traditional jazz band, Papa Henry and the Steamin’ Syncopators, as well as with other musicians. In 2013, Butler, Bernstein & The Hot 9 was formed to record Viper’s Drag, released in the summer of 2014 as the first release of the relaunched Impulse! label. His recordings have been noted by Downbeat and Jazz Times, and his performances are regularly reviewed in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and others. He has appeared on the hit HBO show Treme and is included on the 2012 CD Treme, Season 2: Music from the Original HBO Series. Blinded by glaucoma at birth, Butler was admitted to the Louisiana School for the Blind (now the Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired) in Baton Rouge at the age of five, and cycled back and forth between Baton Rouge during the school year and the Calliope Housing Projects in New Orleans in the summer. Butler may have been born blind, but someone with clearer, deeper, more creative vision would be hard to find.

  • The Man Who Invented Jazz? C O on the Surface, It May Seem a Stretch; on Closer Inspection, It’S an Entirely Appropriate Honor
    EARLY NFL B B N C E JELLY ROLL MORTON IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME? The man who invented jazz? C o On the surface, it may seem a stretch; on closer inspection, it’s an entirely appropriate honor. A music that has always borrowed liberally from other streams in its ongoing evolu­ tion would and should embrace as one of its own an artist imbued with the sensibility that bespeaks great art in general, rock & roll in specific: a zeal for adventure, disdain of the status quo, an innate drive to push the boundaries of convention until the artist breaks on through to the other side with something so new and brazen it’s virtually indefinable -I but talismanic to all the daring souls courageous enough to follow the same path. C o Remember that in the late 1920s, when Louis Armstrong was cutting his monumental sessions with his Hot Five and Hot Seven ensembles, Morton was charging ahead with his equally formidable Red Hot Peppers recordings. Ceding nothing to Satchmo, Morton made sure everyone knew of his achievements and even wrote a song about himself, called “Mr. Jelly Lord,” that pretty much said it all. He was styling at every turn, surrounding himself with Leader of the Band: beautiful women, dazzling the commonfolk with ° conducts his Red Hot his expensive, tailored suits and sporting a million- Peppers, circa 1928 dollar smile that revealed a diamond embedded in one tooth.

  • City of New Orleans-Katrina
    December 18, 2005----- NEW ORLEANS --- There is no foliage in the upscale Lakeview neighborhood near Lake Pontchartrain. The sound of children has been stilled in the Lower 9th Ward. There are no words to describe the barren city still desolate nearly four months after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Arlo Guthrie, his family and fellow musicians got a two-hour private police-escorted tour that brought home their "Ridin' on the City of New Orleans" journey, which began Dec. 5 at Union Station. Amtrak's historic City of New Orleans train arrived here Thursday night. Along the route, Guthrie and other musicians played concerts to raise money to restore the New Orleans musical infrastructure. On Friday afternoon, Arlo Guthrie stood in front of Fats Domino's vacant house in the Lower 9th Ward. The songwriter struggled to find words. The Lower 9th opened up only last week after being inundated when water breached the levee that formed the ward's western boundary. "It's kind of hard to imagine even being here," Guthrie said as he glanced over his shoulder. Domino's house was once Cadillac pink. It is now splattered with mud, debris and loving graffiti. Carnage went down Domino's beloved Caffin Avenue as far as the eye could see. "You wonder what is going to happen," Guthrie said. "No kids. No sound of kids." He stopped and walked away. His singer-songwriter daughter, Sarah Lee Guthrie, cried as she boarded the bus. The December sky was gray. And much of New Orleans looked like nuclear winter. In the Lower 9th, levees had been overtopped by funnels of water.

    BnF Archives et manuscrits Rencontres autour de l'édition phonographique Rencontres autour de l'édition phonographique 2012-... 36 entretiens enregistrés (fichiers son numérique) .- 39 photographies numériques Bibliothèque nationale de France. Département de l'Audiovisuel Fonds produit par : Bibliothèque nationale de France. Département de l'audiovisuel . Service des documents sonores. Le fonds contient des documents en français. Présentation des entretiens De nouvelles musiques font leur apparition dans le sillon contestataire et revendicatif de mai 1968 : le free jazz, les musiques improvisées, les "musiques du monde" d’Amérique du sud ou d’Afrique, le rock psychédélique et progressif, le post-rock ou plus tard le punk rock ainsi que de nouveaux artistes de la chanson française aux textes plus engagés ou décalés. Les deux labels français alors hégémoniques, Barclay et Vogue, s'intéressent essentiellement au jazz traditionnel et à la chanson française à textes. Leurs essais de productions de ces nouvelles musiques (rock essentiellement) pâtissent de l'absence d'ingénieurs du son et de techniques d'enregistrement appropriées. Cette période va donc voir émerger de nouveaux labels souhaitant défendre ces nouveaux courants musicaux. Leurs contributions, pour certains, ne s'arrêtent pas à la production de disques. Ils n'hésitent pas à accompagner ces nouveaux groupes et artistes sur scène, en trouvant de nouveaux lieu de représentation, en organisant des réseaux de diffusions de la musique (via les MJC) ou encore en se lançant dans l'aventure que constitue la création des premiers festivals de musique. Aussi, comme le souligne Éric Deshayes etDominique Grimaud, "dans ces années politiquement combattantes, faire de la musique, être musicien est un mode de vie qui devient en lui-même un moyen d’action".

  • ROCK'n'roll's 1ST DECADE Week
    ROCK'N'ROLL’S 1ST DECADE Week One: The Roots of Rock Recommended Listening: The Delmore Brothers, Freight Train Boogie (Ace, 1993). Country-boogie songs from 1946-51 by this brother duo, whose more uptempo material was not only some of the finest country music of the era, but an important building block of rockabilly and early rock & roll. Fats Domino, The Early Imperial Singles 1950-1952 (Ace, 1996 & 1997). Thorough collections of the first few years or so of singles by the most important early New Orleans rock'n'roll star, whose singles of the early 1950s weren't all that different from the pop hits he had after rock took off. The Drifters, Let the Boogie-Woogie Roll: Greatest Hits 1953-1958 (Atlantic, 1988). Perhaps the most consistent, and certainly one of the most important, of the doo wop groups that had their first success prior to 1955. This has their mid-1950s R&B hits, some of them featuring lead singer Clyde McPhatter. The Drifters who had numerous early soul hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s had entirely different personnel, and were linked to this version of the group only by the trademark name. Bill Haley & His Comets, Rock the Joint! The Original Essex Recordings 1951-1954 (Rollercoaster, 1992). Bill Haley & His Comets were the first white band to fuse rhythm and blues with country music into something recognizable as rock'n'roll, and were doing so for four years before "Rock Around the Clock" became the first huge rock hit. This has those early recordings, including one from 1952 ("Rock the Joint") quite similar to "Rock Around the Clock," and his first single to become a Top Twenty pop hit, 1953's "Crazy, Man, Crazy." John Lee Hooker, The Legendary Modern Recordings 1948- 1954 (Flair/Virgin, 1993).
