LOUIS ARMSTRONG: PUSHING the JAZZ IDIOM Brenna A. Bixler MH LOUIS ARMSTRONG: PUSHING THE JAZZ IDIOM Brenna A. Bixler MH 835: American Music Robert Crowe April 3, 2017 1 In 1910, jazz emerged as a new genre of music in New Orleans, Louisiana.1 Chief among the musicians that played a role in the development of jazz was Louis Armstrong. He pushed the boundaries of the New Orleans jazz idiom in many ways. As his career flourished in the 1920’s, his music refined the genre that we know as jazz today. Early New Orleans jazz ensembles typically consisted of five to seven musicians.2 “Traditional New Orleans jazz is band music characterized by a front line usually consisting of cornet (or trumpet), clarinet, and trombone engaging in polyphony with varying degrees of improvisation (without distorting the melody) and driven by a rhythm section consisting of piano (although rarely before 1915), guitar (or, later, banjo), bass (or tuba), and drums delivering syncopated rhythms for dancing (usually, but not always, in common or 4/4 time).”3 This style of playing results in an evenly blended, busy sound with a continuous texture, as all three melodic voices are sounded simultaneously throughout the entirety of the piece. Two of Louis Armstrong’s most famous and influential contemporaries were Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver.4 Jelly Roll was an accomplished pianist and vocalist who was born in New Orleans in 1890.5 In his “The Bolden Blues” and “Mr. Jelly Lord,” the only instrument used is the piano. Jelly Roll speaks during his recording of “The Bolden Blues.” He sings in his recording of “Mr. Jelly Lord” and uses descending vocal glissandos. King Oliver employed the traditional New Orleans style of jazz. Many of the elements that characterize this style can be heard in his recordings of “Dippermouth Blues” and “Froggie Moore,” including traditional instrumentation. He employs the trombone tailgate style, which uses blues notes and portamento, 1. Crawford, Richard. America’s musical life: a history, 563. 2. Raeburn, Bruce. "Traditional New Orleans Jazz."

Ibid, 171. 3 exuberance and tragic drama towards the end.16 This resulted in large changes from the traditional New Orleans style of King Oliver. “And finally, as a result of everything else, as the series progresses he moves more and more to the foreground. In the earliest records he is simply the classic New Orleans lead cornettist, leaving much of the solo space to others. By the end, the records are Armstrong showcases, with the other musicians merely providing background, and occasional solo relief.”17 Louis’ playing emerges as the central element of the group as the series progresses. Armstrong’s singing style also diverges from the style of his contemporaries. In King Oliver’s recordings of “Dippermouth Blues” and “Froggie Moore,” there are no vocals. In Jelly Roll Morton’s “The Bolden Blues,” Jelly Roll speaks instead of singing and in his “Mr. Jelly Lord,” he sings with a relatively clear voice. Louis Armstrong’s voice in contrast, contains a unique and distinctive raspy quality. He is widely renowned for using instruments to imitate the human voice.18 In a similar vein, Louis employs the jazz technique of scatting where musicians sing on nonsense syllables, imitating the articulations of various instruments. This can be heard in his recording of “Heebie Jeebies,” “West End Blues,” “Lazy River,” and “Skid-Dat-De-Dat.” While scatting in “Heebie Jeebies,” Louis dips his voice low suddenly several times, possibly to imitate an interjection by the trombone. In “West End Blues,” Louis trades bars with the clarinet soloist. After the soloist plays a measure, Louis scats a similar, responsive idea back to the clarinetist. This back and forth continues on throughout the entire clarinet solo, transforming it into a duet between clarinet and voice. In King Oliver’s Creole Band, the clarinet, cornet, trombone texture is continuous throughout, providing no break in texture. The music of the Hot Five developed so that, by the 16.

Reading, CFA MH 835 American music, Boston University, March 30, 2017. 4 end of the series, trumpet solos give way to tutti sections, that give way to vocal sections creating textural changes that help delineate the form. Drawing inspiration from King Oliver’s Creole Band, Louis’ recording of “Heebie Jeebies” does center around the trumpet, the clarinet, and the trombone as the melodic voices, but these instruments do not play continually throughout the entire piece. The piece starts with a piano introduction and then the trumpet, clarinet, and trombone play for 18 measures, in 2/4 time, in traditional New Orleans style. This is followed by a section where the trumpet comes to the foreground, with the clarinet and trombone providing rhythms that underlay the harmony and support Louis’ soloing. The next section features a clarinet solo with only the banjo as accompaniment. After this, Louis sings, again with only banjo accompaniment. Eighteen measures into the vocal solo, Louis begins to scat. He returns to singing text towards the end of the vocal solo, and then the piece ends in the same vein that it began, with the melodic trio. Like Heebie Jeebies,” in Louis’ recording of “West End Blues,” the trumpet, clarinet, and trombone are sounded together for only a short segment towards the beginning and at the end. For most of the piece, each instrument takes their own solo in turn. Trombone portamento is heavily employed, especially during the trombone solo. Following the trombone solo, a clarinet and vocal duet occurs. The next section is played by a solo pianist and then ends with the trumpet, clarinet, and trombone together. “Lazy River,” is an example of how Louis comes further into the foreground as his career progressed. The piece begins with the banjo strumming in quarter notes while the wind instruments fill out the harmony. Louis Armstrong takes a trumpet solo here, which is followed by a vocal solo. In the vocal solo, the instrumentalists drop out for just two measures. Here, 5 Louis breathes after beats one and three, thwarting expectations for the phrase. This is an example of how he sometimes contradicts the underlying pulse, only to return to it shortly after.19 The banjo quarters and held pitches in the winds continue throughout, only stopping to give him the opportunity to solo vocally or scat for two measure segments. Louis ends the chart on a soaring cornet solo. He often played with a much more extended range than his contemporaries.20 This was a defining characteristic of his playing, as technique was unparalleled, and he was not hampered by the need to constantly balance with the clarinet and trombone.21 Louis also shows off his extended range in “Skid-Dat-De-Dat.” At one point, he dips down to a low G on the trumpet.22 The texture of this piece changes constantly, with different instrumentation usually being voiced every two to four measures. The piece centers around a four-bar theme that is sometimes stated simply in whole notes as a large ensemble and at other times is improvised upon by soloists.23 Louis Armstrong’s music was different from that of his contemporaries.

(Soundbite of song, "All of Me") Ms. BILLIE HOLIDAY (Musician): (Singing) All of me, why not take all of me? Can't... INSKEEP: Billie Holiday's very personal style continues to inspire singers some five decades after her death. And in the same way, Holiday was herself inspired by great musicians she heard growing up. Tom Vitale reports from New York. TOM VITALE: Billie Holiday became famous after she recorded a 1939 protest song about lynchings of African-Americans. It was called "Strange Fruit." (Soundbite of song, "Strange Fruit") Ms. HOLIDAY: (Singing) Southern trees bear a strange fruit, blood on the leaves and blood at the root. Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze, strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. VITALE: The haunting vocal offers a stark illustration of Billie Holiday's greatest gift: the ability to convey emotion. Phil Schaap is curator of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Mr. PHIL SCHAAP (Curator of Jazz, Lincoln Center): She speaks to your heart. She catches your ear. She reaches your mind, and she does this with an emotional power that, of course, is genius and is beyond words. (Soundbite of song, "God Bless the Child") Ms. HOLIDAY: (Singing) Mamma may have. Papa may have. But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own. VITALE: The emotional power of Billie Holiday's vocals comes from the way she sings the melodies. It's about rhythm and phrasing that Holiday learned from listening to the best.

By reading texts by Gayl Jones, Ralph Ellison, Franz Kafka; music and performances by Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday; the life, art and films of Josephine Baker, and the film The Jazz Singer (1927), my goal is to give African American experiences of trauma a place within American trauma studies and to offer jazz as an extensive archive of testimony for witnessing and for study. Initially, I explore the pivotal historical moment where trauma and jazz converge on a groundbreaking scale, when Billie Holiday sings ―Strange Fruit‖ in 1939.

    “Body and Soul”--Coleman Hawkins (1939) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Stephen Rush (guest post)* Coleman Hawkins “Body and Soul”--lyrics by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour and Frank Eyton; music by Johnny Green; recorded by Coleman Hawkins on RCA records in 1939. Attributed to three lyricists and one composer, “Body and Soul” was performed first by singer Gertrude Lawrence in London, England, where it was published in 1930. “Body and Soul” was recorded by Coleman Hawkins in 1939, when he was 35 years old, after playing with Fletcher Henderson, Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Benny Carter. Soon after, it was also recorded by none other than Louis Armstrong (arguably the founder of the genre called “jazz”). It was also recorded in a more conventional style by Paul Whiteman. Hawkins’ recording is often thought to be the second most important recording for jazz improvisation--the first being Louis Armstrong’s “West End Blues.” This is due to Hawkins’ focus on the harmony and phrasing of the composition, all but ignoring the actual written melody. Hawkins’ recording is also thought by some to be the harbinger of “bebop” approaches, virtually devoid of New Orleans stylings or traditional swing conventions of the twenties and thirties. Art lies in the abstraction of common knowledge, and Coleman Hawkins’ version of “Body and Soul” is an exemplary demonstrator of that principle--it is the not-so-subtle difference between art and entertainment. Hawkins’ recording of “Body and Soul” is not just a popular rendition of the song, it is an intellectual and artistic statement--using that composition as a vehicle.

  • Louis Armstrong
    Louis Armstrong Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971),[1] nicknamed Satchmo[2] or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter, composer and singer who became one of the pivotal and most influential figures in jazz music. His ca- reer spanned from the 1920s to the 1960s, covering many different eras of jazz. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an “inventive” trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from col- lective improvisation to solo performance. With his in- stantly recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing. Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong’s influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African- American entertainers to “cross over”, whose skin color was secondary to his music in an America that was ex- tremely racially divided. He rarely publicly politicized his race, often to the dismay of fellow African-Americans, Handcolored etching Louis Armstrong (2002) by Adi Holzer but took a well-publicized stand for desegregation dur- ing the Little Rock Crisis. His artistry and personality allowed him socially acceptable access to the upper ech- elons of American society which were highly restricted in the care of his grandmother, Josephine Armstrong, and for black men of his era.
