  • The Man Who Invented Jazz? C O on the Surface, It May Seem a Stretch; on Closer Inspection, It’S an Entirely Appropriate Honor
    EARLY NFL B B N C E JELLY ROLL MORTON IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME? The man who invented jazz? C o On the surface, it may seem a stretch; on closer inspection, it’s an entirely appropriate honor. A music that has always borrowed liberally from other streams in its ongoing evolu­ tion would and should embrace as one of its own an artist imbued with the sensibility that bespeaks great art in general, rock & roll in specific: a zeal for adventure, disdain of the status quo, an innate drive to push the boundaries of convention until the artist breaks on through to the other side with something so new and brazen it’s virtually indefinable -I but talismanic to all the daring souls courageous enough to follow the same path. C o Remember that in the late 1920s, when Louis Armstrong was cutting his monumental sessions with his Hot Five and Hot Seven ensembles, Morton was charging ahead with his equally formidable Red Hot Peppers recordings. Ceding nothing to Satchmo, Morton made sure everyone knew of his achievements and even wrote a song about himself, called “Mr. Jelly Lord,” that pretty much said it all. He was styling at every turn, surrounding himself with Leader of the Band: beautiful women, dazzling the commonfolk with ° conducts his Red Hot his expensive, tailored suits and sporting a million- Peppers, circa 1928 dollar smile that revealed a diamond embedded in one tooth.

Many explanations have been proposed to explain this tendency. This study critically examines these theories through historical and musicological analyses and concludes that the prevalence of the downbeat is a mixture of Jamaican folk and African-American popular music influences in its earliest incarnation, but was later deliberately emphasized in an attempt to create a unique new musical style.

  • WDAM Radio's History of Elvis Presley
    Listeners Guide To WDAM Radio’s History of Elvis Presley This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of Elvis Presley’s “charted” hit singles, including the original versions of songs he covered, as well as other artists’ hit covers of songs first recorded by Elvis plus songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis! More than a decade in the making and an ongoing work-in-progress for the coming decades, this collection includes many WDAM Radio exclusives – songs you likely will not find anywhere else on this planet. Some of these, such as the original version of Muss I Denn (later recorded by Elvis as Wooden Heart) and Liebestraum No. 3 later recorded by Elvis as Today, Tomorrow And Forever) were provided by academicians, scholars, and collectors from cylinders or 78s known to be the only copies in the world. Once they heard about this WDAM Radio project, they graciously donated dubs for this archive – with the caveat that they would never be duplicated for commercial use and restricted only to musicologists and scholarly purposes. This collection is divided into four parts: (1) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S singles hits in chronological order – (2) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S and U K singles, the original versions of these songs by other artists, and hit versions by other artists of songs that Elvis Presley recorded first or had a cover hit – in chronological order, along with relevant parody/answer tunes – (3) Songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley – mostly, but not all in chronological order – and (4) X-rated or “adult-themed” songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley.

  • New Orleans Love Songs
    New Orleans Love Songs As Valentine’s Day approaches, it is an appropriate time to take stock of the love songs recorded by New Orleans artists, as well as other tunes romantically connected with this great metropolis. In no particular order, here are just a few of the Crescent City’s great love songs. NECCO style Valentine candy hearts by Lakeview couple Cherie Melancon Franz and her husband Arthur – photo by Thinkerella Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans One of the great love songs to New Orleans, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans, was written by two Yankees. The song’s lyricist, Eddie DeLange, was from Long Island, New York, and composer Louis Alter was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts. “Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans And miss it each night and day? I know I’m not wrong, the feeling’s getting stronger The longer I stay away. Miss the moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines, Where mockingbirds used to sing. And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi A-hurryin’ into Spring. Oh, the Mardi Gras, the memories Of Creole tunes that fill the air. I dream of oleanders in June, And soon I’m wishin’ that I were there. Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans When that’s where you left your heart? And there’s something more: I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans.” Louis Armstrong truly owned the song (he and Billie Holiday introduced it in the 1947 film New Orleans), but some of the lyrics (albeit evocative and beautiful) just don’t make any sense.
