    ABSTRACT “Where East Texas Dances”: The Cooper Club of Henderson, Rusk County, and Popular Dance Bands, 1932-1942 Michelle Linsey Holland, M.A. Mentor: Thomas L. Charlton, Ph.D. A historical study of the Cooper Club in Henderson, Texas, which was open from 1932 to 1942, uncovers an exciting period in both American and East Texas history. Nationally, dance orchestras embarked on tours of the United States, playing one-night stands in small towns. Locally, the nightclub existed during the great East Texas oil boom. Under the management of owner Hugh Cooper, the Cooper Club became a staple for music lovers in East Texas who appreciated its elegant atmosphere and high caliber of entertainment. Local, regional, and national dance bands played one-night stands and brought to the oil field the latest in popular sweet music, swing, and jazz. The Cooper Club has significance and is deserving of scholarly research, for it shines light on the social and cultural history of Henderson, Texas, from 1932 to 1942, as well as the excitement of famous orchestras coming to a small town.

  • 575.6 Ohio Jazz Mk
    { coming } SOON 978.1.60949.575.6 { 192 pp., $19.99 } May | 2012 All Americans come from Ohio originally, if only briefly. —Dawn Powell April 2012 I am pleased to announce the publication of Ohio Jazz: A History of Jazz in the Buckeye State by David Meyers, Candice Watkins, Arnett Howard and James Loeffler. Jazz history is a medley of artistic innovation, musical evolution and colorful characters. From field hollers—rhythmic call-and-response songs sung by slaves to spread messages or pass the time—to icons like Louis Armstrong, jazz has ineffably changed the soundscape of modern-day music. Yet beyond the legends and bright lights, local musicians have influenced the course of history from smoky bars and secluded coffee shops. Washington Post music critic Geoffrey Himes points to small communities as hotbeds for creativity: “Should we focus only on the artists who developed a national reputation? Or should the narrative also include those artists who stayed hunkered down in their hometowns to stay close to their families, devote themselves to the local scene and hone their craft? If those players attained technical mastery and distinctively original voices, shouldn’t they too find a place in history books?” In Ohio Jazz, the authors spotlight these remarkable local musicians, making decades of research accessible to the Ohio music community. Ohio Jazz begins in the late nineteenth century—when rags became so popular that the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that a horse had “foxtrotted” across a sidewalk dragging a Wells Fargo Express wagon behind it, after it heard a popular ragtime tune emanating from a phonograph—and ends with a look at the future of jazz.
