Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy. -

New Orleans' Own Hot 8 Brass Band Has Epitomized the New Orleans’ Street Music for Over a Decade
New Orleans’ Own Hot 8 Brass Band Curriculum Guide Friday, February 6, 2009 at 10AM Bowker Auditorium Take a Tour of America’s First City of Jazz: New Orleans Guide Overview This curriculum guide can be used in several different ways, according to how you want to incorporate it. It can be used for several days, or for just 30 minutes. Our hope is that you will try a few of the following activities so that your students will have a more complete arts experience. Not only will they see a live music performance, but they may also be able to create something of their own, as well. New Orleans' own Hot 8 Brass Band has epitomized the New Orleans’ street music for over a decade. The band plays the traditional second line parade, hosted each Sunday afternoon by Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs, infusing their performances with the funk and energy that makes New Orleans music loved around the world. The members of Hot 8 Brass Band were born and raised in New Orleans and many began playing in high school. What makes the Hot 8 so special are the sounds they coax from their well loved, well worn horns. The Band performs annually at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, world and jazz festivals across the US and Europe, and were featured in the Spike Lee documentary, When the Levees Broke. The Hot 8 has released critically acclaimed recordings, and is featured on the latest Blind Boys of Alabama re- cording on Time Life records. They have also been part of an important relief project following Hurricane Katrina. -

Lessons imparted in the bandroom not only prepare a select few with the tools to pursue a career in music, they offer all students “culturally sustaining pedagogies” unavailable in core curriculum classes. But in prioritizing high-stakes testing, racialized “career readiness” schools have relegated arts education further to the periphery, denying young people an opportunity to socialize themselves as black subjects in ways that they find meaningful and valuable. Keywords: blackness, charter schools, culturally sustaining pedagogies, marching band, music, New Orleans Downloaded by [Tulane University] at 08:24 13 April 2016 Dinerral Jevone Shavers had wanted to be a marching band director ever since he first played in band at Martin Luther King Elementary, in the Lower Ninth Ward neigh- borhood where his mother Yolande Adams owned a home and raised Dinerral and his three sisters. -

Seven Brothers from the South Side of Chicago Bring the Brass Band Tradition Mixed with Hip-Hop, Soul, and Funk to Tacoma’S Rialto Theater on November 18
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 1, 2016 MEDIA CONTACT: Lacey Wright, Associate Executive Director 253.573.2360 |[email protected] | BroadwayCenter.org Hypnotic Brass Ensemble: Seven Brothers from the South Side of Chicago Bring the Brass Band Tradition Mixed with Hip-Hop, Soul, and Funk To Tacoma’s Rialto Theater on November 18 Presented with support from the Tacoma Philharmonic Endowment Sponsor: CHI Franciscan, DaVita, Ted Brown Music | Media: 88.5 FM KNKX TACOMA, WASH. – Seven brothers from the South Side of Chicago and an extraordinary musical family, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (HBE) will perform at Tacoma’s Rialto Theater on November 18 at 7:30 p.m. The ensemble freely mixes the brass band tradition with generous doses of hip hop, soul, and funk, creating an intoxicating sound. Tickets are on sale now. HBE began their musical training at the ages of four and five with their father, jazz trumpeter/band leader Kelan Phil Cohran (EARTH, WIND, & FIRE, CHAKA KHAN, SUN RA). They went on to form the Phil Cohran Youth Ensemble in 1990. While the group’s early musical training primarily encompassed elements of instrumental performance, the brothers were personally exposed to the music of their own generation - hip-hop, rock, and reggae to name a few – which have now merged the cosmic jazz style of their father. The ensemble’s sound has spread throughout the industry, and after Emcee/actor Mos Def caught a live HBE show, the brothers were asked to join him onstage as part of the Mos Def Big Band. The brothers recorded the Gorillaz record with D.Albarn Welcome to Plastic Beach and joined the “Plastic Beach 2010 World T” upon its release, performing alongside Bobby Womack, Mick Jones from the Clash, De La Soul, and Snoop Dogg. -

Je Suis Charlie
The Highlights Can we spell? Find Page 7 It’s Kik! out on page 7 Kavya continues her social media campaign on page Find out about the 4…. Beaconsfield Alliance, with the story Golden globes glamour on page of Leelah Alcorn on page 5 Page 10! 9 JE SUIS CHARLIE By Kavya Sharma and Katie Gib- son The terrorist attacks in Paris, starting with the killing of 12 people at Charlie Hebdo office, have made it clear to the writers of the Becky Highlights that freedom of speech is something that we have taken for granted. The lesson we can learn from the response to the incidents is that people across the world view freedom of speech as an essential part of our lives, and that being able to express our views and share our thoughts without fear of persecution is integral to global society. The writers and editors of the Becky Highlights wish to make a stand against wrongful acts of violence as a result of people expressing their opinion. By Laura Fearn The destination of this edition of Book Beats is Finland as I have been very fortunate to be selected to attend a winter camp on the Arctic Circle near the Finnish/Russian border at Easter. Needing quickly to learn more about Finnish culture, I have looked to literature of all varieties starting with introductory non-fiction and graduating to some more notable works. This is Finland by Aino Havukainen, Sami Toivonen, Owen F. Witesman is a children’s book designed to educate children about what it is to be Finnish and how Finland was formed.
