    Navigating Jazz: Music, Place, and New Orleans by Sarah Ezekiel Suhadolnik A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett, Chair Professor David Ake, University of Miami Associate Professor Stephen Berrey Associate Professor Christi-Anne Castro Associate Professor Mark Clague © Sarah Ezekiel Suhadolnik 2016 DEDICATION To Jarvis P. Chuckles, an amalgamation of all those who made this project possible. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My dissertation was made possible by fellowship support conferred by the University of Michigan Rackham Graduate School and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities, as well as ample teaching opportunities provided by the Musicology Department and the Residential College. I am also grateful to my department, Rackham, the Institute, and the UM Sweetland Writing Center for supporting my work through various travel, research, and writing grants. This additional support financed much of the archival research for this project, provided for several national and international conference presentations, and allowed me to participate in the 2015 Rackham/Sweetland Writing Center Summer Dissertation Writing Institute. I also remain indebted to all those who helped me reach this point, including my supervisors at the Hatcher Graduate Library, the Music Library, the Children’s Center, and the Music of the United States of America Critical Edition Series. I thank them for their patience, assistance, and support at a critical moment in my graduate career. This project could not have been completed without the assistance of Bruce Boyd Raeburn and his staff at Tulane University’s William Ransom Hogan Jazz Archive of New Orleans Jazz, and the staff of the Historic New Orleans Collection.

  • Kelley Hunt B2 Bio Final
    Kelley Hunt • BIO • “THE BEAUTIFUL BONES” • EER1406 SINGER-SONGWRITER KELLEY HUNT BLENDS ROOTS, ROCK AND SOUL IN HER CINEMATIC NEW ALBUM THE BEAUTIFUL BONES Multi-instrumentalist’s co-produced sixth disc brings her stunning range and soulful vision to the fore with lavish support from cast of all-star musical friends LAWRENCE, KS — Kelley Hunt’s new album, The Beautiful Bones, offers a dozen superbly crafted songs that blend timeless music with a contemporary perspective – drawing a bead on modern life with grace, humor and gravity through the earthy poetry of her lyrics. Those songs are buoyed by a performing style that balances Hunt’s virtuosity with the down-home gospel, soul and R&B that’s part of her DNA. The title track is a perfect example of Hunt’s art, with its shimmering guitar and B-3 organ providing a gorgeously textured canvas for her haunting, soulful voice. And its storyline is an equally deep illustration of her multi-faceted writing, celebrating both the joy of life and its impermanence, while quietly reminding that the Earth is a delicate and mortal place that must be tended to flourish. “That song was the key to the album’s identity,” Hunt explains. “I had already written most of the songs, and felt they were about the things that are important to us all as people, but ‘The Beautiful Bones’ connected them. I was inspired by looking out my kitchen window while I was playing guitar and seeing the bare branches of a tree covered in snow, and I started to think about the layers we all have in our lives and the possibilities that come with each of them.

  • A Week in New Orleans New Orleans Is a City Full of Inherent Tourist Draws to Keep Any Visitor Enamored F
    NEW ORLEANS A Week In New Orleans New Orleans is a city full of inherent tourist draws to keep any visitor enamored for a long stay, but when I travel, I personally like to have an inside scoop on what locals like to do. As a native of my beloved city, please allow me to introduce you to some of my favorite things to do in New Orleans. Monday: New Orleans has a peerless cocktail pedigree (the French 75, the Sazerac, the Old Fashioned, the Grasshopper, the Ramos Gin Fizz, the Pimm’s Cup.) My favorite spots to try these cocktails include: The Napoleon House (500 Chartres / (504) 524-9752), French 75 Bar (813 Bienville St. / 504-523-5433), or Cane & Table (1113 Decatur St /(504) 581-1112.) At The Hermes Bar in the annex of Antoine’s Restaurant (713 St Louis Street / (504) 581-4422) you can order from the oldest menu in town. My favorites are: Oysters Rockefeller, Oysters a la Foche, Shrimp Remoulade, Crabmeat Ravigote and Baked Alaska (a dessert, which you must order when you order your cocktails as it takes time to prepare). Afterward, listen to my dear friend, Ben Jaffe, blow his tuba and play the bass with his band: The Preservation Hall Jazz Band at Preservation Hall (726 St Peter Street / (504) 522-2841), a classic institution with live jazz at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm. Pre-purchase your tickets to avoid the line at www.preservationhall.com While Preservation Hall doesn’t serve alcohol, they allow you to bring in cocktails. Children are welcome.
