  • The History of Women in Jazz in Britain

    The History of Women in Jazz in Britain

    The history of jazz in Britain has been scrutinised in notable publications including Parsonage (2005) The Evolution of Jazz in Britain, 1880-1935 , McKay (2005) Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain , Simons (2006) Black British Swing and Moore (forthcoming 2007) Inside British Jazz . This body of literature provides a useful basis for specific consideration of the role of women in British jazz. This area is almost completely unresearched but notable exceptions to this trend include Jen Wilson’s work (in her dissertation entitled Syncopated Ladies: British Jazzwomen 1880-1995 and their Influence on Popular Culture ) and George McKay’s chapter ‘From “Male Music” to Feminist Improvising’ in Circular Breathing . Therefore, this chapter will provide a necessarily selective overview of British women in jazz, and offer some limited exploration of the critical issues raised. It is hoped that this will provide a stimulus for more detailed research in the future. Any consideration of this topic must necessarily foreground Ivy Benson 1, who played a fundamental role in encouraging and inspiring female jazz musicians in Britain through her various ‘all-girl’ bands. Benson was born in Yorkshire in 1913 and learned the piano from the age of five. She was something of a child prodigy, performing on Children’s Hour for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) at the age of nine. She also appeared under the name of ‘Baby Benson’ at Working Men’s Clubs (private social clubs founded in the nineteenth century in industrial areas of Great Britain, particularly in the North, with the aim of providing recreation and education for working class men and their families).

The project focuses on the effects in Scotland of the development of the new media of film and wireless. It addresses question as to what changes, over the first decades of the twentieth century, these two revolutionary forms of public technology effect on the established entertainment system in Scotland and on the Scottish experience of culture. The study presents a broad view of the cultural scene in Scotland over the period: discusses contemporary politics; considers established and new theatrical activity; examines the development of a film culture; and investigates the expansion of broadcast wireless and its influence on indigenous theatre.

    1 The TROMBONE of GEORGE CHISHOLM Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: March 9, 2020 2 Born: Glasgow, Scotland, March 29, 1915 Died: Milton Keynes, England, Dec. 8, 1997 Introduction: We played again and again the marvellous Benny Carter session from Holland in 1937 with Coleman Hawkins. Then we realized that there was a great trombone player in there of British origin! Glad now to realize we had identified perhaps the best vintage trombone player on this side of the Atlantic! History: He took up trombone as a teenager after hearing Jack Teagarden. In 1936 he went to London with Teddy Joyce and played in clubs, notably the Nest Club, where the following year he took part in a jam session with Fats Waller, Coleman Hawkins and Benny Carter. Carter took him to Holland with a band that recorded eight titles for Decca (1937), and he played and recorded with Bert Ambrose’s orchestra in 1937-39. Chisholm was much in demand for session work; among his recordings was one with Waller for HMV in 1938. After joining the RAF he played in the all-star dance orchestra best known as the Squadronaires (1939-50). He was a member of the BBC Radio Show Band (1950-55) and played in Wally Stott’s orchestra in the “Goon Show” radio series, then performed with Jack Parnell and in musical shows until 1965. He continued to play jazz into the 1980s, both as a soloist – notably with Keith Smith’s Hefty Jazz – and with his own band, the Gentlemen of Jazz, in pubs, clubs and festivals.

    Soundtrack for a New Jerusalem Lyrics and Music By Lily Meadow Foster and Toliver Myers EDITED by Peter Daniel The 70th Anniversary of the National Health Service 1 Jerusalem 1916 England does not have a national anthem, however unofficially the beautiful Jerusalem hymn is seen as such by many English people. Jerusalem was originally written as a preface poem by William Blake to his work on Milton written in 1804, the lyrics were added to music written by Hubert Parry in 1916 during the gloom of WWI when an uplifting new English hymn was well received and needed. Blake was in- spired by the mythical story Jesus, accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, once came to England. This developed its major theme that of creating a heaven on earth in En- galnd, a fairer more equal country that would abolish the exploitation of working people that was seen in the ‘dark Satin mills’ of the Industrial revolution. The song was gifted by Hubert Parry to the Suffragette movement who were inspired by this vi- sion of equality. 2 Jerusalem William Blake lyrics Hubert Parry Music 1916 And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant Land Hubert Parry 1916 Words by William Blake 1804 3 Jerusalem 1916 4 Jerusalem 1916 5 Jerusalem 1916 William Blake imagined a time when Britain would be a fairer more equal society.

    June 2017 Janua Welcome to a New Year of New Books!

    NEW TITLES JANUARY - JUNE 2017 WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR OF NEW BOOKS! As we move through the remnants of 2016, a look back on the past year might inspire the well-worn adage, “you couldn’t make this stuff up”. The world looks forward to the next few years with anxious hearts and minds. While in 2016 truth may be stranger than fiction, at Jacaranda we enter 2017 with a stellar list of uniquely brilliant and illuminating tales. Whether debut voices, or veteran our authors take us from the darkly funny world of Nigerian satire with Anietie Isong’s RADIO SUNRISE, through the stifling exacting world of Tokyo motherhood, with Rahdika Jha’s exquisite novel, MY BEAUTIFUL SHADOW. Starkly evocative landscapes and searing observations of human cruelty and kindness make this work a stand out feature title for the spring. As we move into the summer, we slip into azure, warm Caribbean waters with two genre fiction offerings: Paula Lennon’sMURDER IN MONTEGO BAY, a crime procedural set in the heart of this famed Jamaican holiday destination and Rasheda Malcolm’s SWIMMING WITH FISHES, a very traditional romantic novel enlivened by its Caribbean setting. These offerings promise a new flavour to well-used recipes, new perspectives on old traditions, and bright new voices in the publishing arena. To say we at Jacaranda are excited about our publishing for next year would be a great understatement; we are ecstatic and sincerely hope you will be too.
