Genre, Ethnoracial Alterity, and the Genesis of Jazz Manouche
Genre, Ethnoracial Alterity, and the Genesis of jazz manouche SIV B. LIE It’s French jazz. Why suggest that it’s jazz manouche? Django obviously started it, the whole movement, on account of him being a superstar, being a Gypsy, and then afterwards the Gyp- sies copied him, and it evolved into that. It’s a category that doesn’t correspond to reality. People should say “Django style.” For me, jazz manouche doesn’t exist, in fact. It’s a fiction. [Jazz manouche] must exist because everyone talks about it.1 n the above quotations, speakers address the ontology of “jazz ma- nouche,” a genre originally grounded in the recordings of guitarist Django Reinhardt (1910–53) and invented several decades after his I 2 death. They represent only a fraction of the musings on the subject that I recorded while interviewing musicians and others involved in the jazz ma- nouche scene in France. Centered on the reproduction of Reinhardt’s musical style, the genre is commonly associated with the Manouche subgroup of I am deeply grateful to Patrick Andresz, Alain Antonietto, Stella Funaro, Gérard Gerber, Engé Helmstetter, Michel Lefort, Gigi Loeffler, Marcel Loeffler, Mandino Reinhardt, and numerous others in France for sharing their stories and lives with me. I would like to thank Michael Beckerman, J. Martin Daughtry, Maureen Mahon, Will Robin, David Samuels, Davin- dar Singh, and especially Benjamin Givan for their thoughtful comments on earlier versions of this article. I would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers of this Journal for the helpful feedback they have provided. -

Download the Alto Saxophone of Andre Ekyan
1 The ALTOSAX and CLARINET of ANDRE EKYAN Solographers: Jan Evensmo & Christian Dangleterre Last update: Feb. 28, 2020 2 Born: Meudon, France, Oct. 24, 1907 Died: near Alicante, Spain, Aug. 9, 1972 Introduction: We learned first to know Andre Ekyan at the famous “Crazy Rhythm” with Coleman Hawkins from 1937, battling with Benny Carter on altosax. Later we discovered that he was one of the top vintage altosax artists in Europe. History: Self-taught as a musician. Led band at Le Perroquet in Paris in the 1920s, then played with Jack Hylton (London, 1930-31), Gregor (1932-33) and Tommy Dorsey (1936). Made a number of recordings as a leader between 1935 and 1946; on those from the period 1937-41 his altosax and clarinet soli were accompanied by Django Reinhardt. Also played with Tommy Benford, Benny Carter, Coleman Hawkins (1937), Ray Ventura (1938), Joe Turner, Jack Butler, Frank “Big Boy” Goudie (1939), again with Ventura (Switzerland, 1941) and with Bobby Nichols (1945) and Mezz Mezzrow. In 1950 he recorded again with Reinhardt as a member of the Quintette du Hot Club de France (ref. The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz). 3 ANDRE EKYAN SOLOGRAPHY JACK HYLTON & HIS ORCHESTRA London/Milan/Berlin/Paris, Jan.-April, 1931 Personnels including Andre Ekyan (cl, as, ts, vo).

“Django's Tiger”: from Jazz to Jazz Manouche
“Django’s Tiger”: From Jazz to Jazz Manouche Benjamin Givan Not long ago, I saw an online amateur video of the French guitarists Adrien Moignard (b. 1985) and Sébastien Giniaux (b. 1981), who are two of the leading players of the genre known as “jazz manouche” (or “gypsy jazz”) (Moignard and Giniaux 2010). They had been filmed in 2010 at the French village of Samois–sur–Seine during its annual Festival Django Reinhardt. Seated outdoors at sunset, closely encircled by throngs of festival–goers, the two musicians were performing a composition called “Django’s Tiger” by the festival’s dedicatee, the guitarist Django Reinhardt (1910–53). Midway through a breakneck virtuosic solo, Moignard insistently reiterated several high B–naturals, halfway down his guitar’s neck, before launching decisively into a four–bar phrase, high up the fretboard. A more tentative, indistinct arpeggiation followed. And then, for a fleeting instant, he stopped playing, his left hand slack against the instrument. After scrambling through an- other rapid arpeggiation, his left fingers only grazing the strings, Moignard fully reconnected physically with his guitar and confidently concluded the chorus. I laughed. It seemed to me that this was not merely the sort of everyday stumble that adventuresome, risk–taking improvisers inevitably make from time to time. Moignard was paraphrasing a melodic passage that Reinhardt had improvised on a recording years ago, but it did not work out as deftly as it had for Django. Its harmonic context was different, for reasons that were far from trivial. In fact, it occurred to me that this near–imperceptible musical disruption encapsulated an epistemological contradiction within an entire musical genre inspired by a single musician. -
The Bebop Guitar Improv Series
20th Century JAZZ GUITAR “Selected Phrases By Its Most Influential Artists” Richie Zellon This Book Is Strictly For Educational Purposes. Its Sale is Prohibited. About This Book This book is a compilation of short phrases I transcribed during a period of sev- eral years to complement and aid in the education of my jazz guitar students. In doing so, I chose to represent only 16 influential soloists in the history of jazz guitar, from its inception in the early 20th century up until its close. As a result, several artists who did not garner the recognition required to become “house- hold” names in the world of mainstream jazz guitar, have not been featured here. Doing so would defeat the initial purpose of this collection which is to provide brief samples of each stylistic era within the evolution of jazz guitar. Sad to say, among those left out are some of my personal favorites! Others who were not recorded extensively, but are known to have influenced some of the better known players of their era, have also been omitted. To name a few- from the Swing Era: Eddie Lang, Carl Kress, Freddie Green (not a soloist), Oscar Aleman, George Barnes, George VanEps, Bucky Pizzarelli; from the Bebop Era: Oscar Moore, Tiny Grimes, Bill DeArango, Billy Bauer, Billy Bean, Chuck Wayne, Joe Puma, Sal Salvador, Herb Ellis, Johnny Smith, Barry Galbraith, Howard Roberts; from the Post-Bop Era: Attila Zoller, Joe Diorio, Ralph Towner, Lenny Breau, Ed Bickert, & Mick Goodrick. Although the outline of stylistic eras in this book includes the Fusion Era, I have not included transcriptions of several of its leading proponents, due to the fact that my goal has been to concentrate on mainstream jazz guitar. -
