HANDY By Vic Hobson A dissertation submitted to the School of Music, In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of East Anglia (March 2008) Copyright 2008 All rights reserved © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. i Acknowledgments This for me has been a voyage of discovery and I count myself fortunate to have enjoyed the process. This has been due, in no small part, to the support, help and encouragement that I have received along the way. People who, in the early days of my research, had been only names on the covers of books are now real; all have been helpful, most have been enthusiastic and some I now count as friends. The School of Music at the University of East Anglia is a small school in a rapidly expanding university which was led for many years by David Chadd who sadly died before the completion of this work. Fortunately the foundations he laid are secure and I have benefited from the knowledge and experience of all of the staff of the school, in particular my supervisor Jonathan Impett. Among Jonathan’s contributions, above and beyond the normal duties of a PhD supervisor is to have shown faith in a thesis that initially must have seemed rather unlikely.

  • Doctor Jazz: Jelly Roll Morton
    Doctor Jazz: Jelly Roll Morton John Szwed Hello, Central, give me Doctor Jazz He’s got what I need, I’ll say he has. Jelly Roll Morton’s life had all the makings of tragedy: born shortly after the chaos of Reconstruction in the racially ambiguous Creole community of New Orleans, he turned against the wishes of his family and crossed class and racial lines to become a leading pianist in Storyville, the sporting district of New Orleans that provided the laboratory for the generation of musicians who invented jazz. But being a piano player, acclaim escaped him because trumpeters and clarinetists, and not pianists, were the recognized stars of early jazz, and it took years for his importance as a composer and bandleader to be appreciated. Then came what the fans of early jazz would later regard as the Fall: the closing of the district by the U.S. government, and the music Morton had helped create scattered across the earth, taken up by the forces of commerce, diluted and refined. Worse yet, Morton had the bad fortune to record his finest work in the mid- to late 1920’s, when the fashion in music was turning away from the complex, multi-thematic forms Jelly originated to embrace the much simpler 32 bar, AABA popular songs that the popular younger musicians like Louis Armstrong were playing and singing. Morton resisted this trend for as long as he could, but it cost him an audience and dated him prematurely. Finally, just when a revival of New Orleans music was underway in the early 1940’s and Morton was being rediscovered, death deprived him of a second chance at fame.

    THE TIMES AS REFLECTED IN THE VICTOR BLACK LABEL MILITARY BAND RECORDINGS FROM 1900 TO 1927* by Frederick P. Williams Part 2. A Period of Dance, Show, Educational and FOreign offerings -- - The DSEF Period, which extended from 1909 to 1917, was a time of intense productivity of dance music, musical comedy tunes (show), educational recordings (primarily of folk music) and foreign (also domestic ethnic) market selections. At the beginning of 1909 the Victor Company took pride in being considered the largest phonograph record company in the world. The Company made more records than anyone else, the quality of the product was excellent and the bulk of the recording artists, worldwide, were under Victor contracts. It was therefore understandable that the Company would be the last of the 'name' companies to offer the double-faced record for sale. Readers of Part 1. "A Period of Imaginative Offerings" which appeared in the ~ Journal, 1972, Vol. IV, no. 1/2/3, pp. 33-46, may remember that the Pryor Band, the first 'in house' band, was formed during 1903. From 1903 to 1907 black label record sales increased from 1,561,422 to 6,104,770. The Pryor Band, by its ever-increasing number of recordings, participated significantly in this volume. By 1908 most of the military band recordings produced by the Victor Company were made by Arthur Pryer's Band. Thus it is no surprise to read in the March, 1909 catalogue that three of the first four double-sided releases in the newly-assigned 16000 series were Pryer's: 16000-"Strains from Stern's Medley Overture"/"Centennial March" (Bolan), 16001- *This is the second part of a three-part series.

  • Riverside Label Discography
    Discography of the Riverside Label The Riverside label was established in 1953 by traditional jazz enthusiasts Bill Grauer and Orrin Keepnews in New York City. Originally Grauer and Keepnews intended to reissue classic jazz that they purchased from long defunct labels. Later the label recorded jazz, folk, comedy, spoken word, sound effects, children’s and gospel. Shortly after starting the Riverside label, Grauer went to Richmond Indiana, to see Harry Gennett Jr. to try to purchase the recordings of the Gennett label. The Gennett Record label was formed in 1918 as a division of the Starr Piano Company in Richmond Indiana. In the early 20’s, the label started recording the early jazz bands that were performing in Chicago. Gennett made the first recordings of Ferd “Jellyroll” Morton, King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band with Louis Armstrong and the Wolverines with Bix Beiderecke. The first recording of “Stardust” was made by its author Hoagy Carmichael in the Gennett Richmond studio The Gennett label had ceased operation in 1932, but many of the historic metal recording plates were still stored in Richmond. Grauer was able to purchase all of the remaining plates for $2000. Grauer began a massive reissue campaign, releasing much of the Gennett material on long playing albums for the first time. Later, Grauer obtained masters from other early jazz and blues labels, including Paramount, Circle, and QRS, and reissued that material. Although the early catalog of Riverside releases contained mostly purchased material, Riverside started recording jazz sessions on its own, including Thelonious Monk, Randy Weston, Wes Montgomery and Cannonball Adderley.

During that period, the music has inspired a range of attitudes, from rebellious affirmation to pernicious abnegation. In the course of this vacillating response, the nation has simultaneously experienced a I revolution in social and cultural mores, involving in many cases a total inversion of the values by which it lives. Jazz, along with kindred musical developments to which it has a precursive relationship, supplied the musical theme for this incredible I saga.
