  • Jazz in the Pacific Northwest Lynn Darroch
    Advance Praise “Lynn Darroch has put together a great resource for musicians, listeners, and history buffs, compiling what seems to be the most comprehensive resource about the history of jazz in the Northwest. This book will do the important job of keeping the memories and stories alive of musicians and venues that, while they may be immortalized through recordings, have important history that may otherwise be lost to the murkiness of time. Darroch has done the community and the music a great service by dedicating himself to telling these stories.” —John Nastos “Lynn Darroch illuminates the rich history of jazz in the Pacific Northwest from the early twentieth century to the present. Interweaving factors of culture, economics, politics, landscape, and weather, he helps us to understand how the Northwest grew so many fine jazz artists and why the region continues to attract musicians from New Orleans, New York, California, Europe, and South America. He concentrates on the traditions of the big port cities, Seattle and Portland, and underlines the importance of musicians from places like Wenatchee, Spokane, Eugene, and Bend. Darroch has the curiosity of a journalist, the investigative skills of a historian and the language of a poet. His writing about music makes you want to hear it.” —Doug Ramsey “With the skills of a curator, Lynn Darroch brings us the inspiring history and personal stories of Northwest jazz musicians whose need for home, love of landscape, and desire to express, all culminate into the unique makeup of jazz in Portland and Seattle. Thank you Lynn for a great read and its contribution to jazz.

  • Melville Jacobs Collection of Native Americans of the American Northwest (1929-1939) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Laurel Sercombe (Guest Post)*
    Melville Jacobs Collection of Native Americans of the American Northwest (1929-1939) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Laurel Sercombe (guest post)* Melville Jacobs, c. 1927 Anthropologist Melville Jacobs (1902-1971) did more to document the languages, cultures, oral traditions, and music of Oregon's indigenous peoples than any other 20th century scholar. Through his research and publications, he made a unique contribution not only to the field of cultural anthropology but to linguistics and folklore as well. His recordings and documentation have also been used in cultural and language revitalization efforts by local tribes. Born and raised in New York City, Jacobs attended the College of the City of New York where he studied history and philosophy and received a B.A. in 1922. While there, he was influenced by Morris Raphael Cohen, a philosopher of science whose interest in the philosophy of history proved influential to Jacobs’s intellectual development, as did Cohen’s belief in scholarship in service of society. Jacobs also studied the violin as a young man, attending the Institute of Musical Art (Juilliard Conservatory) from 1917-1920. Music was to be a source of enjoyment throughout his life. At Columbia University, Jacobs studied American history, earning an M.A. in 1923, before moving to the Anthropology Department, where he became a student of Franz Boas. Among his fellow students were Thelma Adamson, Ruth Benedict, Melville Herskovits, George Herzog, Otto Klineburg, Margaret Mead, and Gene Weltfish. In the summer of 1926, Jacobs, Adamson, and Klineburg drove across the country together to Washington state, sent by Boas to conduct field research among Native Americans there.

  • Roll Columbia Recording the Full Woody Guthrie Columbia River Song Cycle
    Roll Columbia Recording the full Woody Guthrie Columbia River Song Cycle n May of 1941, a young Woody Guthrie, not quite 30 years old, stood over the Columbia River in Washington State, surveying the newly built Bonneville Dam. He’d been asked Ito the Pacific Northwest to sing the praises of the kind of public works projects that had transformed a nation under Roosevelt’s New Deal. Recommended by Alan Lomax, he was brought out at the behest of Steve Kahn of the Bonneville Power Administration, a bureaucrat with a remarkably artistic bent to his marketing ideas. Guthrie would travel the length and breadth of the region writing some of his most timeless songs, including “Roll On Columbia” and “Pastures of Plenty.” In time, his involve- ment in this eccentric and visionary project would be nearly forgotten, but the songs would live on. In the mid 1980s, the Bonneville Power Administration tasked their employee Bill Murlin with putting together a songbook that contained all of the songs Woody had turned in to the BPA. The songbook was published to celebrate the BPA’s 50th Anniversary—and yet some of the songs included therein have never yet been recorded, even by Guthrie himself. However, Bill Murlin—a folksinger long before he worked for BPA—travelled throughout the Northwest telling the story and singing many of the songs. Now, 75 years after Guthrie’s trip to the region, Oregon-born folklorist and folk singer Joe Seamons has partnered with Murlin to revisit Guthrie’s trail and bring together a host of Northwest roots musicians to cover the 26 songs from Woody Guthrie’s Columbia River Collection.
