    Django Reinhardt

    Data » Personalities » Django Reinhardt http://romani.uni-graz.at/rombase Django Reinhardt Peter Wagner Today is the 1st of November, 1928, All Saint’s Day, late in the evening. The Reinhardt family shares this holiday with the souls of the deceased, particularly with a young one, only lately deceased, for whom the caravan has been decorated with artificial flowers. Young Django Reinhardt is returning from a concert, most probably preoccupied by an offer by Jack Holton, the English master of symphonic jazz, to move to him to England and play in his orchestra. Fate, however, had decreed otherwise. He lights the candles, and with them the flowers, and immediately the whole caravan catches fire; the family is glad to escape with their lives. For the young, promising musician, this incident is a catastrophe. His left leg is badly burnt, it will later have to be operated on, but what is worse, two fingers of his left hand remain unable to function, which is to lose the basis of existence for a goldsmith or a musician. But not Django Reinhardt. A fanatic love of music had already rooted in him, and a present – a guitar which should support his therapy – makes it break out. Notwithstanding his handicap, an inner need to express himself via music makes him return in all his virtuosity within one and a half years, equipped with additional, original means of expression. His new technique arouses amazement and curiosity with a whole generation of guitarists and musical researchers. It is difficult to judge the role of his handicap in this still significant– mainly among the Roma – school.

    French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture

    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.

    Le Jazz Et Nice : Une Histoire De " Feeling "…

    Le jazz et Nice : une histoire de " feeling "… Le jazz et Nice : une histoire de " feeling "… Prémices du jazz à Nice Dans les années 1920, la musique afro-américaine se répand à Paris sous la forme d’une musique de danse aux rythmes nouveaux et vivants qui séduisent la population meurtrie par la première guerre mondiale. En outre, dans les villes littorales des Alpes Maritimes, notamment à Nice, elle trouve, avec l’essor du tourisme autour de ces mêmes années, des facteurs favorables à son succès dans les lieux de divertissements et de spectacles. Le jazz, à Nice, préservera toujours des espaces permettant l’expression de ce caractère festif. L’effervescence musicale de la zone côtière méditerranéenne attire les musiciens des Etats-Unis mais aussi des autres régions françaises et favorise l’émergence d’une pépinière de musiciens locaux qui reste foisonnante jusqu’à nos jours. Le Negresco, le Savoy, le Ruhl et bien d’autres palaces au noms prestigieux, ainsi que les casinos, contribuent à la diffusion de la nouvelle musique. Parmi ces derniers, le Palais de la Méditerranée, œuvre de l’architecte Dalmas inaugurée en 1929, dont la façade monumentale de style " art déco " est encore visible aujourd’hui. Elle s’ouvrait sur une superbe salle de spectacle d’une capacité d’accueil de huit cents places où se produisaient les musiciens. Une profusion de cabarets et de dancings moins luxueux mais dont la part est tout aussi importante, draine une population noctambule vers la musique venue d’outre Atlantique. La prestation du jeune Louis Armstrong au Casino Municipal de Nice en 1935 révèle l’élaboration d’un style qui dorénavant attribue au soliste et à l’improvisation une part grandissante.

In 2012, the Cité de la musique will be shining the spotlight on Django Reinhardt in the exhibition “Django Reinhardt, Paris swing” showing in Paris from 6 October 2012 to 23 January 2013. The multimedia version will be available from mid-November 2012. Django Reinhardt, Paris swing “All the miraculous poetry surrounding the child thieves, fortune-tellers and the dreaming white horse tied up on a roadside, escorted you on your departure. Transforming a painted caravan into a sports car is not the least of your talents. Now, you have become one with your heavenly guitar riffs and brass ensembles. Your rhythm has shaken the universal malaise to the core. And if we survive to the last era, we shall perhaps hear your orchestra compose an arrangement to the trumpets of the Apocalypse.” Jean Cocteau “I think that Django Reinhardt’s music would appeal to anyone, from the intellectual to the taxi driver. The beauty of his music is so immediately perceptible.” Woody Allen, filmmaker “He is the Holy Spirit. Django is the greatest improviser of all times. He has composed heavenly music, like Bach or Chopin. In his hands, even the wrong notes are amazing.” Thomas Dutronc, guitarist and singer Jean Cocteau, Portrait of Django Reinhardt, c.

    The Assimilation of American Jazz in Trance, 1917-1940

    le hot the assimilation of american jazz in trance, 1917-1940 William h. kenney iii The assimilation of American jazz music in France, an instance of the cultural transmission of an emerging American musical art, began at the time of World War I. Within the subsequent history of jazz in France lies the tale of the progressive mastery of the two principles of improvisation and rhythmic swing and the modification of American sounds to suit the particular cultural terrain of France between the two World Wars. The process was eased by the obvious fact that France already contained, indeed originated in some cases, the basics of western music: instrumental definitions, chromatic and diatonic scales and the myriad chords from which they were constructed. Still, the principles of melodic and particu­ larly harmonic improvisation were little known in France as was the surprising phenomenon of rhythmic swing so that when early jazz arrived in that country French musicians knew most of the vocabulary of jazz without knowing how to make jazz statements. A small number of French musicians learned to "sing" with a swing and in the process created their own "école française de jazz." Ragtime and the musical precursors of jazz were carried from the U.S.A. to France by military bands sent by the American government in 1917. The most famous was the 369th Infantry Regiment's Hell Fighters Band, an all-Black outfit organized and led by James Reese Europe. Europe was a pioneer of ragtime in New York City where he had organized 0026-3079/84/2501-0005S01.50/0 5 concerts of Black music, headed the famous Clef Club, and accompanied Irene and Vernon Castle's introduction of the foxtrot in America.

Options range from the once smoky and still-crowded clubs of St-Michel and St-Germain-des-Prés in the Latin Quarter to the more sophisticated establishments of Rue des Lombards in the 1st arrondissement. For something a little more spontaneous, jazz lovers seek out one of the many bars and brasseries in the 20th. Among the internationals on the scene are some highly respected Australian musicians. But then, jazz in Paris has always been something of a multicultural affair. It was first introduced during World War I by African-American soldiers, many of whom played in army bands. Embraced by the French, they received recognition and respect unimaginable in the US, where they still had to use backdoor entrances to the clubs they played.
