How Mimi Perrin Translated Jazz Instrumentals Into French Song
BENJAMIN GIVAN How Mimi Perrin Translated Jazz Instrumentals into French Song “Just like the th at the beginning of they and at the beginning of theater.” “What’s different about the sound of theater and they?” “Say them again and listen. One’s voiced and the other’s unvoiced, they’re as distinct as V and F; only they’re allophones—at least in British English; so British- ers are used to hearing them as though they were the same phoneme.” —Samuel R. Delany, Babel- 171 —Prenez par exemple, en français, le C de cure et de constitution. —Quelle est la différence? —Répétez chaque mot en vous écoutant bien. Le premier est palatal, articulé sur le sommet du palais, et le second vélaire, sur le voile du palais. Il s’agit simplement de variantes combinatoires dues à l’environnement. —Samuel R. Delany, Babel- 17, translated by Mimi Perrin2 Translating prose from one language to another can often be a thorny task, especially with a text, such as the above extract from Samuel R. Delany’s Babel- 17, whose meaning or literary effect is inseparable from its voiced sound. For the French edition of this 1966 science ﬁction novel, its translator, Mimi Perrin (1926–2010), had little choice but to completely recompose Delany’s paragraph. Where the English original contrasts “they” with “theater” to illustrate voiced and unvoiced phonemes, she instead cites the French words cure and constitution to demonstrate palatal and velar pronunciations of the consonant c, meanwhile omitting Dela- ny’s comparison of American and British English. To convey the author’s argument about interlingual phonetic perception, she had to forgo his text’s literal word- for- word meaning and transpose its ﬁctional setting Benjamin Givan is associate professor of music at Skidmore College.

1 Beginnings was a poor kid,” Tony Bennett told music writers David Hajdu and IRoy Hemming in Discovering Great Singers of Classic Pop, “like every- body in New York in the Depression, but there was great hope, skyscrapers were going up, and everybody felt we were going toward something great. It was a unique era, and it all still lives in the music that came out of that time.” Recalling that period in an interview with David Frost in 1967, Bennett also defi ned it as a period of sharing and egalitarianism: “It was the Depression, a time when we were all very hungry. There was a great camaraderie. Everybody was helping one another out.” There is a rueful longing in his words, a sense that something was lost in the periods of afflCOPYRIGHTED uence that came later. MATERIAL That sense of hopefulness infused the early years of Tony Bennett, who came from a warm and loving family Duke Ellington described as “wonderful optimists.” Tony Bennett’s paternal grandfather, Giovanni Benedetto, grew up in the village of Podargoni, above Reggio Calabria. The family were poor farmers, producing fi gs, olive oil, and wine grapes. His mother’s 19 CCH001.inddH001.indd 1199 55/20/11/20/11 33:50:55:50:55 PPMM 20 all the things you are family, the Suracis, also farmed in Calabria. Neither side of the family could read or write. In the 1890s a widespread blight caused thousands of farmers, among them the Benedettos and the Suracis, to leave Italy. Bennett’s family was part of the mass immigration of southern and eastern Europeans to the United States between 1880 and 1920.

The Holmes Brothers Deliver Magnificent Old Time, Gospel-Style R&B, and Raw Electric Blues with Unparalleled Artistry and Au
Glorious, rootsy R&B, gospel, blues and country. Full of soul and surprises. --USA TODAY The Holmes Brothers deliver magnificent old time, gospel-style R&B, and raw electric blues with unparalleled artistry and authenticity. Sherman’s bottomless baritone, Wendell’s classic soul singer’s wail and Popsy’s otherworldly falsetto do more than complement one another; on stage or in the recording studio, the three become like a mystical fourth entity, inexplicable yet sublime, a gift to the world of music. -Chicago Tribune A breathtaking and heartfelt journey through gospel-drenched soul, blues, funk and country. -Chicago Sun-Times Timeless, deeply soulful and uplifting gospel-drenched blues, street corner doo-wop, ballads, R&B, country and funk. -NY Times Over the course of their 30-plus year career, The Holmes Brothers (bassist/vocalist Sherman Holmes, guitarist/pianist/vocalist Wendell Holmes, drummer/vocalist and brother-in-spirit Popsy Dixon) have been feeding the souls of their devoted and ever-growing fanbase with a joyous and moving blend of blues, gospel, soul, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll and country. Their amazing three-part harmony singing, mixing Wendell’s gruff and gravelly vocals with Popsy’s soaring falsetto and Sherman’s rich baritone brings the soul and spirit of gospel music into everything they perform. Equally gripping is the rhythmic foundation laid down by Sherman’s bass playing and Popsy’s drumming, perfectly complimenting Wendell’s blues-soaked guitar solos and church-inspired piano playing. The band easily blends Saturday night’s roadhouse rock with the gospel fervor and harmonies of Sunday morning’s church service.
