  • The Changing Face of Harlem – the Savoy Sessions Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1976
    The Changing Face of Harlem – The Savoy Sessions Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1976 The history of jazz is often told in terms of geography—a journey from New Orleans to Chicago to Kansas City to New York, and from there, throughout the world. Like any generalization, this way of outlining the music's development has its shortcomings. New York had been a jazz landmark long before it became the chief incubator of a new style eventually called bebop. And for jazz purposes, New York in the main meant Harlem, the largest (and once most glamorous) black metropolis outside Africa. In the '20s, Harlem was practically the entertainment capital of America, if not the western world. “The world's most glamorous atmosphere .... Why, it's just like Arabian Nights,” said young Duke Ellington when first confronted with its splendors in 1923. To the contemporary mind, conditioned to think of Harlem as a “ghetto,” a vast slum, a breeding ground for social ills, this may seem like fantasy. But even today, there are fine streets and houses in Harlem, there is the Apollo Theater (the last remaining bastion of a once proud show business tradition), there are places to eat and drink well, and places to hear music. But sadly, for every one of the latter, there were a couple of dozen in Harlem‘s heyday. These ranged from basement clubs and unpretentious saloons that might feature a piano player and/or a singer to such elaborate operations as the Cotton Club, with its especially composed, staged and choreographed revues featuring the best in black talent and catering exclusively to whites (black show people were allowed to watch).

  • Oran Thaddeus Page “Hot Lips”
    1 The TRUMPET of ORAN THADDEUS PAGE “HOT LIPS” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: March 31, 2020, April 28, 2021 2 Born: Dallas, Texas, Jan. 27, 1908 Died: NYC. Nov. 5, 1954 Introduction: Hot Lips Page was for unknown reasons rather marginally recognized in my Oslo Jazz Circle upbringing, and only later I opened my ears to his fine trumpet playing! Dan Morgenstern’s various liner notes helped a lot too! History: First music lessons from his mother, a former school-teacher. Early efforts on clarinet and saxophone, specialised on trumpet from the age of 12. Joined kids’ band led by bass drummer Lux Alexander. Left music temporarily, attended high school in Corsicana,Texas, left to do manual work in Seminole oil fields in Texas. Became regular member of band accompanying Ma Ra iney, made first visit to New York with Ma Rainey for bookings at the Lincoln Theatre. Worked with a T.O.B.A. circuit touring band, accompanied Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, etc. Joined Troy Floyd Band in San Antonio, also worked in Texas with Sugar Lou and Eddie’s Hotel Tyler Band. Was heard with this band by bassist Walter Page (no relation) and subsequently joined the Blue Devils band early in 1928. Left the band in 1930 to join Bennie Moten’s band, worked mainly with Moten until 1935, after that leader’s death (April 1935) led own quintet in and around Kansas City. Worked as a specialty act with Count Basie at the Reno Club, Kansas City (1936), was signed by manager Joe Glaser and moved to New York.

  • Kansas City: the Crossroads of Jazz
    Kansas City: The Crossroads of Jazz Kansas City, Wilbur Harrison, 1959 • What makes Kansas City Jazz different from all the other styles of Jazz and Swing? • Riff Based melodies and background figures • Blues coming back to the forefront of the music • Featuring Virtuoso soloists • Driving rhythm always with a sense of motion • Use of head-arrangements: memorized structures embellished on the fly by the musicians; a sort of ensemble based improvisation. • What are the factors that allowed Kansas City Jazz to come to be? • Political/Economic factors such as a lax attitude towards prohibition • Geographical factors such as Kansas City’s central location • Musical factors such as a strong musicians union and well developed music education programs. Tickle Toe, 1940 The Early Bands Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra 1925 Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra Vine Street Blues, 1924 • Probably the most influential bandleader in Kansas City Jazz, Pianist Bennie Moten led the most successful of the Kansas City bands. Nearly everyone who would become an important member of the Kansas City bands came though his organization at one point or another. • Early on the scene, with recording dates as early as 1923, Moten was the most established and financially successful of the early Kansas City bands, which enabled him to successfully poach talent from the other KC and territory bands, such as Walter Page’s Oklahoma Blue devils. • This included luminaries such as Count Basie (just known as Bill Basie then), Eddie Durham, Hot Lips Page, Jimmy Rushing, and eventually Walter Page himself. • Hired Bill Basie to play piano because he was too busy with the business side of running his band to always be at the keys.

  • Uncle Sam Blues"-- Oran "Hot Lips" Page, Accompanied by Eddie Condon's Jazz Band (1944) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Todd Bryant Weeks (Guest Post)*
    "Uncle Sam Blues"-- Oran "Hot Lips" Page, accompanied by Eddie Condon's Jazz Band (1944) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Todd Bryant Weeks (guest post)* Oran “Hot Lips” Page Original label Eddie Condon Uncle Sam was no woman, but didn't he draft your man? Tell me them good-lookin’ womens on the border's raisin’ sand. —Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “Dry Southern Blues,” 1926 In March of 1944, the Texas-born trumpeter Oran “Hot Lips” Page introduced a blues number that was to become one of the most well know records of the World War II era: “Uncle Sam Blues.” Page recorded the tune as a V-Disc, a special record to be sent overseas to US servicemen. The recording was made with a group of “Chicagoans,” musical stalwarts that included plectorist Eddie Condon, trombonist Miff Mole and clarinetist Pee Wee Russell. The tune’s lyrics hold at their core an unabashed patriotism, but they also express an ambivalence about the war that may have registered with a contemporary black audience: Uncle Sam ain’t no woman, but he sure can take your man, Women ringing hands and a-cryin’. All over the land. One of the most powerful of the World War II era blues singers, Hot Lips Page was among the very few jazz musicians to score big successes with the public both as a vocalist and as an instrumentalist. There are numerous stories of Page singing the blues for up to 45 minutes at a stretch without ever repeating a single line. His witty, modern vocals are at once part of a mid- century rapprochement to the country blues of Blind Lemon Jefferson and Leadbelly, and also a primary influence on the next generation—figures like Lowell Fulson, Aaron “T-Bone” Walker, and Ray Charles.

    The man who invented the be-bop virtuoso break with false fingerings JOE GUY (tp) 1920-1962 by Mario Schneeberger first version 1993/04 last update 2017/11/13 last update: Recordings with Jack Sneed; Miles Davis (in chapters “Quotes” and “KEROUAC”), tune descriptions Preface Back in 1973 I heard Joe Guy soloing on EPISTROPHY with the Cootie Williams orchestra. I was impressed by his inspiration and his masterly negotiation of the tricky chords. That’s why I decided to analyse his output and write this essay.

At his best he played excellent and inspired solos and obbligatos. He invented the virtuoso break with false fingerings, later to become a Be-Bop cliché. 2 Life and career 1920/09/20 JOSEPH LUKE GUY is born in Birmingham, Alabama.

  • Jazz Jazz Is a Uniquely American Music Genre That Began in New Orleans Around 1900, and Is Characterized by Improvisation, Stron
    Jazz Jazz is a uniquely American music genre that began in New Orleans around 1900, and is characterized by improvisation, strong rhythms including syncopation and other rhythmic invention, and enriched chords and tonal colors. Early jazz was followed by Dixieland, swing, bebop, fusion, and free jazz. Piano, brass instruments especially trumpets and trombones, and woodwinds, especially saxophones and clarinets, are often featured soloists. Jazz in Missouri Both St. Louis and Kansas City have played important roles in the history of jazz in America. Musicians came north to St. Louis from New Orleans where jazz began, and soon the city was a hotbed of jazz. Musicians who played on the Mississippi riverboats were not really playing jazz, as the music on the boats was written out and not improvised, but when the boats docked the musicians went to the city’s many clubs and played well into the night. Some of the artists to come out of St. Louis include trumpeters Clark Terry, Miles Davis and Lester Bowie, saxophonist Oliver Nelson, and, more recently, pianist Peter Martin. Because of the many jazz trumpeters to develop in St. Louis, it has been called by some “City of Gabriels,” which is also the title of a book on jazz in St. Louis by jazz historian and former radio DJ, Dennis Owsley. Jazz in Kansas City, like jazz in St. Louis, grew out of ragtime, blues and band music, and its jazz clubs thrived even during the Depression because of the Pendergast political machine that made it a 24-hour town. Because of its location, Kansas City was connected to the “territory bands” that played the upper Midwest and the Southwest, and Kansas City bands adopted a feel of four even beats and tended to have long solos.
