Ethnographies of contemporary migrations emphasize the palpable presence of national borders and social boundaries in the everyday life of immigrants. Ethnomusicological literature on migrant and border musics has focused primarily on the role of music in evoking a sense of home and expressing group identity and solidarity in the face of assimilation. In jazz scholarship, the articulation and crossing of genre boundaries has been tied to jazz as a symbol of national cultural identity, both in the U.S and in jazz scenes around the world. While these works cover important aspects of the relationship between nationalism, immigration and music, the role of jazz in facilitating the crossing of national borders and blurring social boundaries between immigrant and native-born musicians in the U.S. has received relatively little attention to date.

  • Italian-Australian Musicians, ‘Argentino’ Tango Bands and the Australian Tango Band Era
    2011 © John Whiteoak, Context 35/36 (2010/2011): 93–110. Italian-Australian Musicians, ‘Argentino’ Tango Bands and the Australian Tango Band Era John Whiteoak For more than two decades from the commencement of Italian mass migration to Australia post-World War II, Italian-Australian affinity with Hispanic music was dynamically expressed through the immense popularity of Latin-American inflected dance music within the Italian communities, and the formation of numerous ‘Italian-Latin’ bands with names like Duo Moreno, El Bajon, El Combo Tropicale, Estrellita, Mambo, Los Amigos, Los Muchachos, Mokambo, Sombrero, Tequila and so forth. For venue proprietors wanting to offer live ‘Latin- American’ music, the obvious choice was to hire an Italian band. Even today, if one attends an Italian community gala night or club dinner-dance, the first or second dance number is likely to be a cha-cha-cha, mambo, tango, or else a Latinised Italian hit song played and sung in a way that is unmistakably Italian-Latin—to a packed dance floor. This article is the fifteenth in a series of publications relating to a major monograph project, The Tango Touch: ‘Latin’ and ‘Continental’ Influences on Music and Dance before Australian ‘Multiculturalism.’1 The present article explains how the Italian affinity for Hispanic music was first manifested in Australian popular culture in the form of Italian-led ‘Argentino tango,’ ‘gaucho-tango,’ ‘Gypsy-tango,’ ‘rumba,’ ‘cosmopolitan’ or ‘all-nations’ bands, and through individual talented and entrepreneurial Italian-Australians who were noted for their expertise in Hispanic and related musics. It describes how a real or perceived Italian affinity with Hispanic and other so-called ‘tango band music’ opened a gateway to professional opportunity for various Italian-Australians, piano accordionists in particular.

  • “Notes on Sprezzatura: Current Influences on Italian Jazz.” Irene
    “Notes on Sprezzatura: Current Influences on Italian Jazz.” Irene Monteverde, December 2015 Abstract: Italians have a certain “Sprezzatura” when it comes to art, and jazz in particular - “an effortlessness mastery, a discreet modesty, accomplishment mixed with unaffectedness.” This paper examines the accomplishments of some of today’s top Italian jazz musicians and uses some personal accounts to try to extrapolate the exact recipe for the “Sprezzatura” in jazz. Stefano Battaglia, Franco Santarnecchi, Enrico Rava, and Alessio Riccio are just a few Italian jazz musicians that embody the “effortless, unaffected modesty,” whether on stage, in a classroom or during an interview. At the same time, Italians maintain a hallowed respect for the American-born tradition; Enrico Rava recently performed an entire concert of arranged Michael Jackson songs, while Stefano Battaglia produced a CD of Alec Wilder compositions. Italy is a country dividend geographically, socially, ideologically, and familially, a factor that seems to drives groups to carry-out business underground. It may be an attitude long-ingrained in Italian culture, but could this be why the jazz scene seems to thrive in underground circles? Could the “discreetness” be attributed to a country divided? According to Francesco Martinelli, jazz writer and festival coordinator, “Italian government has little influence on Italian life.” If anything, the government makes it harder for good music to shine through to the public. Independent jazz schools struggle to stay afloat while unqualified

Neste sentido, a contribuição de músicos, compositores, improvisadores ao lado da figura do especialista tem servido para enriquecer o universo dos novos paradigmas dos estudos musicais, aumentando quantitativamente e, principalmente, qualitativamente, a bibliografia disponível sobre os mais variados aspectos temáticos. Nos últimos anos na Itália, nota-se um positivo incremento destes contributos e um maior interesse em tentar compreender o fenômeno da música improvisada e seus mecanismos poéticos. As fronteiras entre composição e improvisação estreitam-se e, independentemente da pluralidade dogmática das várias correntes de interpretação, surge uma visão mais complementar do fazer musical, nos casos aqui em questão o free jazz e a free music em diálogo com as novas estéticas e técnicas da música contemporânea.

  • Danilo Rea Flavio Boltro
    Danilo Rea Flavio Boltro Opera ACT 9508-2 German Release Date: June 24, 2011 The world would be a more monotonous place if it weren’t for regional specialties, as exemplified by the Italians and their love for opera. The Roman pianist Danilo Rea seems predestined for this national passion, having studied classical piano at the music academy Santa Cecilia in his home town of Rome. Moreover, even after having devoted himself to jazz, he didn’t focus exclusively on American standards like so many musicians do, but concentrated more on merging the musical tradition of his native country with the vocabulary of jazz. This can be heard clearly on his ACT debut “A Tribute to Fabrizio de André” (ACT 9759-2) last year, on which he played music by this famous Italian singer-songwriter. According to Kulturnews the album is the highlight of ACT’s Piano Works series and it was even chosen as “Best Piano Album 2010” by the Italian jazz magazine “Musica Jazz”. Nevertheless, it took quite some time before Rea discovered opera music: “If you start off as a classical pianist like I did, you usually don’t work together with singers. Only later did I discover how soulful my favourite composer Puccini’s music is and began to improvise with it. That is how I found my way to opera.” On his solo album “Lirico“ he had already found his personal way of transferring opera melodies into jazz. Thanks to a suggestion of his producer Siggi Loch, the new album “Opera” (his second on ACT) is fully dedicated to Italian opera.
