    FEAR OF THE “UNCIVILISED”: DUTCH RESPONSES TO AMERICAN ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC, 1920-1945 Kees Wouters During the First World War, the Dutch were still unfamiliar with the word “jazz,” but this changed in 1919 when at various dance schools “Jes,” “Jas,” or “Yasz” (initially there existed confusion over the correct spelling) was introduced as a new American dance. In 1920, the English orchestra The London Five played in The Hague and during that same year the Amsterdam dance instructor James Meyer founded the first Dutch professional jazz ensemble, the James Meyer’s Jazzband, under direction of the pianist Leo de la Fuente. The year before, Meyer had traveled to England to seek inspiration in the modern ballrooms.1 Through his orchestra, and especially through the BBC radio programs broadcast from the Savoy hotel in London, the English ballroom dances became popular in the Netherlands. Starting in 1919, the first American dance records became available. Both the English ballroom dances and the American ragtimes were a great success. A postwar dance craze erupted with great intensity. The reveling public was in an e1ectrified mood. Fed up with the Wiener Damenkapelle, the salon orchestras, and the melodies of Johann Strauss and Franz Léhar, the public demanded “jazz” music. Instead of “Tango Tea” at Pschorr in Rotterdam, people wanted to dance. One fashionable dance after the other was introduced: the Shimmy, the Charleston, the Black Bottom. Pschorr was rebuilt into a dance Mecca and a six foot replica of the Statue of Liberty, under the banner “We1come to New York,” formed part of the décor.2 String sections were expanded with a drum equipped with a horn and an enamel pan, which was enough to qualify for a jazz band in those days.

  • THE INTRODUCTION of JAZZ in the NETHERLANDS Kees Wouters When the United States Entered the First World War in 1917, Pianist
    THE INTRODUCTION OF JAZZ IN THE NETHERLANDS Kees Wouters When the United States entered the First World War in 1917, pianist and bandleader James Reese Europe was awarded the army rank of lieutenant and given the task of forming an orchestra to play for the troops overseas. In Februari and March 1918, he travelled some two thousand miles through France and performed in over twenty cities. Both the troops and the civilian population went mad on Jim Europe and his all-black 369th Infantry band, better known as the Hell Fighters. Apart from the usual marches, classic ouvertures and Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever, they played rags and tunes like the Memphis Blues in full swing and what’s more, their music became known under a new label: Jazz. Thanks to the Hell Fighters and other military bands such as Lt. Will Vodery’s brassband and Lt. Tim Brymn’s seventy Black Devils, France became the startingpoint of jazz in Europe. Initially the Dutch, who didn’t participate in the First World War, were kept in the dark. In 1918, they were still unfamiliar with the word “jazz,” but this changed in 1919 when at various dance schools “Jes,” “Jas,” or “Yasz” (initially there existed confusion over the correct spelling) was introduced as a new American dance. In 1920, the English orchestra The London Five played in The Hague and during that same year the Amsterdam dance instructor James Meyer founded the first Dutch professional jazz ensemble, the James Meyer’s Jazzband, under direction of the pianist Leo de la Fuente.

  • Constellation 100
    Constellation 100 Eric Boeren cornet Greg Ward alto sax Jason Adasiewicz vibraphone Wilbert de Joode double bass Mike Reed drums A new ensemble for listeners, but one with a considerable history for the musicians themselves. Constellation 100 is a continuation of the intensive contact between the Amsterdam and Chicago progressive music scenes, in Doek’s case particularly with the post- Ken Vandermark generation – Mike Reed, Nate McBride, Jason Adasawieca, Greg Ward, Dave Rempis, Josh Berman et al – who now congregate at Mike Reeds’ Chicago club Constellation. Mike, Jason and Greg play together in various formations, including Loose Assembly and Living by Lanterns. Eric and Wilbert have a long history together in Eric Boeren 4tet, All Ellington and a host of ad hoc ensembles. Sun Rooms (Reed, Adasawiecz, McBride) guested at Doek’s annual impro festival. Cross-Atlantic collaborations include guest appearances from Eric Boeren in Loose Assembly and Sun Rooms (Bimhuis), the band NEWS (Boeren, Cor Fuhler, Nate McBride, Mike Reed), an All Ellington edition in Chicago, performances by Jason Adasiewicz in Boerenbond and numerous ad hoc line-ups in both Chicago and Amsterdam. This particular quintet first played in Chicago in 2013 and have reunited for a European tour. They play compositions by all group members and bring the particular aesthetics and traditions of both cities to bear on the material and ensuing improvisations. Sound-wise this group resembles early sixties Dolphy and Booker Little outfits. For energy, precision, playfulness and aesthetics this group is hinting at Charles Mingus. But do bear in mind they also listened to John Kirby.
