But each time this thought cropped up, I dismissed the project as trivial in comparison to the needs of the wounded and displaced.

  • October 1-3, 2017 Greetings from Delta State President William N
    OCTOBER 1-3, 2017 GREETINGS FROM DELTA STATE PRESIDENT WILLIAM N. LAFORGE Welcome to Delta State University, the heart of the Mississippi Delta, and the home of the blues! Delta State provides a wide array of educational, cultural, and athletic activities. Our university plays a key role in the leadership and development of the Mississippi Delta and of the State of Mississippi through a variety of partnerships with businesses, local governments, and community organizations. As a university of champions, we boast talented faculty who focus on student instruction and mentoring; award-winning degree programs in business, arts and sciences, nursing, and education; unique, cutting-edge programs such as aviation, geospatial studies, and the Delta Music Institute; intercollegiate athletics with numerous national and conference championships in many sports; and a full package of extracurricular activities and a college experience that help prepare our students for careers in an ever-changing, global economy. Delta State University’s annual International Conference on the Blues consists of three days of intense academic and scholarly activity, and includes a variety of musical performances to ensure authenticity and a direct connection to the demographics surrounding the “Home of the Delta Blues.” Delta State University’s vision of becoming the academic center for the blues — where scholars, musicians, industry gurus, historians, demographers, and tourists come to the “Blues Mecca” — is becoming a reality, and we are pleased that you have joined us. I hope you will engage in as many of the program events as possible. This is your conference, and it is our hope that you find it meaningful.

  • Ii WOODY GUTHRIE
    ii WOODY GUTHRIE THIS COLLECTION PRESENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME the full range of material Woody Guthrie recorded for the United States government, both in song and the spoken word. This publication brings together two significant bodies of work – the songs and stories he recorded for the Library of Congress, and the material he created when hired to write songs for the Bonneville Power Administration. There have been records released in the past of the Library of Congress recordings, but this collection is the first time that the complete and unedited Library of Congress sessions have been released. The songs from those recording dates have been available in the past – notably from Elektra and from Rounder – but we offer here the full body of work, including the hours of Woody Guthrie talking and telling his story. TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND BPA RECORDINGS, we have also added material which Woody recorded for governmental or quasi-governmental efforts – some songs and two 15-minute radio dramas for the Office of War Information during the Second World War and another drama offered to public health agencies to fight the spread of venereal disease.

  • Brooklyn Rediscovers Cal Massey by Jeffrey Taylor
    American Music Review Formerly the Institute for Studies in American Music Newsletter Th e H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XXXIX, Number 2 Spring 2010 Brooklyn Rediscovers Cal Massey By Jeffrey Taylor With the gleaming towers of the Time Warner Center—Jazz at Lincoln Center’s home since 2004—gazing over midtown Manhattan, and thriving jazz programs at colleges and universities throughout the world fi rmly in place, it is sometimes diffi cult to remember when jazz did not play an unquestioned role in the musical academy. Yet it wasn’t until the early 1990s that jazz was well enough entrenched in higher education that scholars could begin looking back over the way the music was integrated into music curricula: Scott DeVeaux’s frequently quoted “Construct- ing the Jazz Tradition” from 1991 is a prime example.1 The past thirty years have seen an explosion of published jazz scholarship, with dozens of new books crowd- ing shelves (or websites) every year. The vast majority of these texts are devoted to the work of a single fi gure, with Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong leading as popular subjects. But a few scholars, DeVeaux and Ingrid Monson among them, have noted the essential roles of musicians who worked primarily in the shadows, as composers, arrangers, accompanists, and sidepeople. Without these artists, whose contribution often goes completely unacknowledged in history books, jazz would have taken a very different path than the one we trace in our survey courses.

  • Liner Notes, Lomax Collection
    Alan Lomax spent his life in transit, documenting folk music from across the United States, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, North Africa, the Soviet Union, and the Eastern Caribbean. Featured here are sixteen selections from Lomax’s U.S and international field- recording collections — including four previously unreleased songs and one previously unreleased version — from his collections at the Library of Congress’ American Folklife Center, recorded between 1947 and 1982. Introduced by a paean to America’s greatest folk hero, John Henry, and concluding with one of the country’s most enduring lullabies, the compilation combines ballads, blues, dance tunes, and sacred songs from around the U.S. with a Gaelic ode, Galician alborada (dawn song), Genoan chorale, Grenadan Shango ritual, Trinidadian calypso, and the ashug bardic music of Azerbaijan. Here is a view of the Lomax collection in all of its breadth, joy, and dignity. In 2004 the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress acquired the original recordings and photographs, library, manuscripts, and research materials that had been assembled by Alan Lomax over the course of six decades, uniting them with the recordings made by Alan and his father, John A. Lomax, for the Library from 1933 to 1942. Fred McDowell Como, Mississippi September 1959 1. John Henry “Bama” (W.D. Stewart), “22” (Benny Will Richardson), and prisoners Recorded at Parchman Farm (Mississippi State Penitentiary). Late November/early December, 1947. “Bama” was one of the most prolific prison singers, with the exception of Lead Belly, that Alan Lomax ever encountered. He recorded not only work songs and field hollers, but also unaccompanied blues ballads, tall-tales, and toasts.
