Jazz en Chicago Notas al programa por Luis Daniel Vega Apostada en la orilla sur del lago Michigan, Chicago es una ciudad que, al lado de Nueva York, Nueva Orleans, San Francisco y Kansas City, ha jugado un papel destacado en la interpretación, grabación y evolución artística del jazz en Norteamérica. Cruce de caminos, floreciente nudo ferroviario, vial y aéreo, la llamada "ciudad ventosa" atrajo a miles de trabajadores de todo el país durante los dos primeros tercios del siglo XX, situación que coincidió con la gran migración de los afroamericanos de los estados del sur hacia el norte; entre ellos se encontraban muchos músicos exiliados de Storyville, el famoso barrio de Nueva Orleans que fue clausurado en 1917 por el Secretario de Marina, quien consideró que la vida licenciosa constituía un grave peligro moral para las tropas estadounidenses que se preparaban para la Primera Guerra Mundial. Aunque en 1906 pianistas como Tony Jackson y Jelly Roll Morton ya habían estado en Chicago experimentando las posibilidades estilísticas del ragtime, no fue sino hasta la década de 1920 que la gran demanda en el mercado del entretenimiento musical -estimulada por la creación de numerosos clubs, cafés, cabarés, restaurantes, music halls y dancings- propició que el 4 particular sonido proveniente de Nueva Orleans se transformase en un estilo nuevo en el que se destacaron figuras tan llamativas de la historia del jazz como Freddie Keppard, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong y Earl Hines. De hecho, y de forma paradójica, las obras maestras del que hoy conocemos como "jazz de Nueva Orleans" fueron grabadas en Chicago, pues allí aparecieron los primeros sellos que facilitaron el prensado y la difusión de discos a precios muy cómodos. Por ejemplo, entre 1925 y 1928, Louis Armstrong junto a sus Hot Five y sus Hot Seven grabó los discos clásicos para el sello Okeh, al igual que el pianista Earl Hines. Por su lado, el clarinetista Jimmy Noone y su Apex Club Orchestra dejó para la posteridad placas para el sello Vocalion que hoy son raras piezas de colección. También durante esos años dorados, la Creole Jazz Band de King Oliver se hizo famosa en el Lincoln Garden de la calle 31, y posteriormente, los Red Hot Peppers de Jelly Roll Morton prensaron para Victor y Bluebird un par de vinilos que los inmortalizaron. Consolidada una industria discográfica que floreció entre 1930 y 1950 con el mítico sello Chess -sin el cual el blues eléctrico no habría tenido una casa y el rock 'n' rol/ no habría existido (ver recuadro)-, en Chicago se afianzó una escuela de apasionados músicos blancos que, reunidos en combos como los Chicago Rhythm Kings, la Cascade's Band y la Condo's Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. Chicagoans, emprendieron un camino paralelo al estilo Nueva Orleans, que se diferenció por la utilización de fórmulas europeas y elementos extraídos del folclor hillbilly y el skiffle. Esta escuela de los llamados "Chicagoans"­ entre los que se recuerda a Eddie Candan, Bix Beiderbecke, Bud Freeman, Pee Wee Russell y Mezz Mezzrow- anunció el jazz de los años treinta y presentó al mundo la quintaesencia del género: el saxofón. El blues en Chicago Durante los años treinta , en Chicago se originaron prolongaciones del blues como resultado de una dinámica similar a la de los estilos instrumentales surgidos de Nueva Orleans. De los arquetipos rústicos de bluesman clásicos como Blind Lemon Jefferson, Big Bill Bronzy, Tampa Red y Lonnie Johnson, emergen, por un lado, formas pianisticas llijiiJWIIIIIiii!II!!A.. Iill como el boogie boggie, explotado por Albert Ammons, Meade • Lux Lewis y Big Maceo. Por otro, nace un b/ues urbano y eléctrico que durante los años cincuenta se impone a través de Chess y Vee Jay, dos sellos que se especializan en una nueva forma del blues, violenta, melodramática y pegajosa. Nombres como Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, El more James, Chuck Berry y Otis Spann, entre muchos otros, evolucionan un folclore rural y proletario que ejercerá una poderosa influencia en el rack ·n· rol/ británico y norteamericano de los años sesenta. A principios de los años treinta, los estilos surgidos de Nueva Orleans pasaron de moda y la Gran Depresión limitó la actividad musical. Asimismo, 5 la mayoría de los protagonistas más entusiastas de la escena inició el éxodo hacia Nueva York, ciudad donde se centralizó la actividad del jazz. No obstante, músicos y orquestas continuaron tocando en Chicago hasta la cristalización, en la década de los sesenta, de la movida avant garde, que surgió como respuesta política a la discriminación.

  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    La Belle Creole “La Belle Creole” would be an apt sobriquet for one of those “Creole babies with flashing eyes” (or perhaps some other “Pretty Baby” in the Big Easy), but it was instead the name of a popular item produced in the city over a century ago. Simon Hernsheim, born in New Orleans March 4, 1839, to Joseph Hernsheim and Ricka Katzenstein, entered a lucrative business in 1857. He began supplying the tobacco leaf for the European market, but soon the Civil War began and he enlisted in the Confederate Army. La Belle Creole cigar box cover There were numerous cigar factories in the French Quarter, and after Reconstruction New Orleans was the nation’s cigar capital. During this golden period (1880s to 1930s), 80% of the nation’s male population smoked a cigar. But no competitor had the output of S. Hernsheim Brothers & Co. In 1882, the cigar tycoon and his brothers erected the immense five-story La Belle Creole Cigar & Tobacco Factory on the corner of Magazine and Julia Streets in what is today the city’s Arts District. The factory employed over a thousand workers, and women outnumbered the men by two to one. The Hernsheim factory was the largest in the country at that time, and in 1892 they rolled 40 million cigars. “La Belle Creole” cigar factory, 1892 (left) and today (right) Cuban tobacco came into the Port of New Orleans, and exports went out to Europe, Mexico and Central America. The most popular brands, “La Belle Creole”, “Jackson Square” and “El Belmont” gained international renown for their quality.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.

The gloves are off. The Rolling anger is fierce. In a somewhat obscure gay marriage case in California, the U.S. Department of Justice sub- mitted a brief June 11 that many LGBT activists Along are decrying as a betrayal of President Barack Obama’s promise to work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). And yet a prominent, widely respected con- Queer stitutional law professor urges caution, arguing Bronzeville page 7 that the particular lawsuit that triggered this latest controversy is “extremely vulnerable” on a number of legal grounds. The case is Smelt v. U.S., one that has been brewing since 2004 and which gay legal activists openly criticized as premature and ill-conceived at the time. That criticism has not changed with the lawsuit’s new incarnation, filed last Decem- ber. What has changed is the president, his ap- pointees to the Department of Justice, and the Chaz expectation on the part of many in the LGBT To Become community that the Obama administration page 18 would mount only a perfunctory defense of a Man DOMA, given that President Obama has vowed to work to repeal the statute. But instead, the DOJ, under Obama appointee page 26 Tony West, an Assistant Attorney General, has filed a brief vigorously defending DOMA as a rea- sonable and necessary law.

  • Female Brass Soloists of the 19Th and Early 20Th Centuries
    Soft lips on cold metal: female brass soloists of the 19th and early 20th centuries Gavin Holman – September 2019 (updated) During the later 1800s and early 1900s there were increasing numbers of women musicians taking part in the musical life of the western world. Whether as instrumental soloists; members of family groups; amateur or professional bands and orchestras; string, brass and mixed ensembles; and vaudeville performers; these female musicians earned their place in history – one which has largely been overlooked in favour of their male counterparts. I have documented ladies performing in brass ensembles and bands in “Women and Brass: the female brass bands of the 19th and 20th centuries”, and “Damen und Damen - Ladies’ professional travelling brass ensembles of the German Empire 1871-1918”. However, details of the individual performers are very limited. Those who led bands and groups, or who were known as solo performers, do have more information available about their musical lives. Much of this comes from contemporary publications – newspaper reports of performances, advertisements, publicity material, concert programmes, and similar material. A number of female cornetists, documented in Schwarz: Cornet Compendium, are included here. Another major work on brass instrumentalists, Bridges: Pioneers in Brass, lists some sixty male performers, but only one female (apart from a brief passing mention of four others under the same heading). Many of these artists toured on the theatre and vaudeville circuits and hooked up with various entertainment acts/shows or orchestras/bands for engagements or even seasons at resorts. Given the nature of advertisement and promotion most of their qualities were described in superlative fashion, with most seemingly described as the “best”, “greatest”, “champion” or similar hyperbole.
