  • NICK LAROCCA, Creator of Jazz
    NICK LAROCCA, Creator of Jazz By Linda Serio Published 2007 Written in cooperation with the American Italian Renaissance Foundation Research Library. Nick LaRocca, leader of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band (ODJB), would have been 100 years old April 11, 1989. He died in 1961, but a handful of New Orleanians dedicated to his immortalization as the creator of jazz often speak of him in present tense. This group ignited my interest in the subject, and made possible this birthday tribute to Nick LaRocca. The individual who could best convince you that Nick lives on is his widow, Ruth LaRocca. Her blue eyes sparkle when she tells of being literally swept off her feet by a man known almost as well for his dancing as his trumpet playing. Musician and long-time friend Phil Zito has followed Nick's request to carve his rightful place in history and created the Nick LaRocca Original Dixieland Jazz Band Foundation. Bruce Raeburn, curator of Tulane University's jazz archive, is more objective and scholarly in his approach to Nick, but eagerly shares a wealth of knowledge and documentation on Nick's contributions to American musical and cultural history. Adrian Victor, at the music store “Werlein's For Music” knows the Nick LaRocca story by heart and provided a possible answer as to how Louisiana State University (LSU) acquired Nick's famous "Tiger Rag" as its fight song. Last, but not least, this article is dedicated to writer and historian Mike Palao, who, were it not for severe illness, would be offering his personal 100-year salute to Nick LaRocca on these pages.

    TONY PARENTI & TONY SB.AR.BARO 1 Reel I--Summary--Retyped Also Present~ June 29, 1959 Richard B. Allen Parenti's daughter Inter~iew is taking place at the home of Tony Parenti, 8306 Vietor Avenue, Elmhurst, Long Island. Tony Parenti opens with a joke, based on home-permanent commercials, ~ t "Which J.I\.Tinhas the Toni?" Parenti mentions his appreciation of his basic New Orleans background [and ?] jazz, says he studied music as a child, and has at times had to be a 11legitimate• musician, and at other times has been a "commercial" musician, but at the moment has t resigned / [i ronic connotation?] himself to "working and playing only jazz--no conductors to follOW", no music to read, no mental strains--so now all I do is call out the tune, what key, knock off two beats, and live forever." It is a very warm day--in the nineties. Parenti says it is as hot as it was in the early days in his New Orleans career. Sbarbaro replies that then you could cool off at Milneburg. Parenti says you could not only cool off at Milneburg, you could get to feeling pretty good while you were cooling off there. Parenti recalls when he first started to play jazz, Eddie Edwards was passing by Dauphine and St. Ann Streets, where Parenti 1 s father had a shoemaker 1 s sh~p. Edwards heard Parenti practicing, asked Parenti 1 s father who was playing clarinet. Edwards invited him to come up to a dance mall on Elysian Fields Avenue, upstairs.

  • EDDIE LANG – the FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 by Nick Dellow
    167 Eddie Lang Part One_Layout 1 05/09/2013 12:07 Page 1 EDDIE LANG – THE FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 By Nick Dellow Jazz musicians who live short lives often leave the deepest impressions. There is something about their immutable youth, echoed through the sound of distant recordings, that encapsulates the spirit of jazz. One thinks of Bix and Bubber, Murray and Teschemacher, and Lang and Christian. Of these, guitarist Eddie Lang left the largest recorded testament, spanning jazz, blues and popular music generally. Whether his guitar was imparting a rich chordal support for other instrumentalists, driving jazz and dance bands with rhythmic propulsion, or providing a sensitive backing for a variety of singers, Lang’s influence was pervasive. Django Reinhardt once said that Eddie Lang helped him to find his own way in music. Like his contemporary Bix Beiderbecke, Lang’s defining role as a musician was acknowledged early on in his career, and has been venerated ever since. As is often the case with musicians who are prolific, there are gaps in our knowledge. This article attempts to address some of these, with particular attention being paid to Lang’s early career. In the second part of the article the Mound City Blue Blowers’ visit to London in 1925 is discussed in detail, and possible recordings that Lang made during the band’s engagement at the Piccadilly Hotel are outlined and assessed. More generally, Lang’s importance as a guitarist is set in context against the background of the guitar’s role in early jazz and dance music.

Some musicians have remained vocal in their rejection of injustice, some have turned to a message of spirituality in music above all else, and some took their music abroad to a European environment where race relations were not quite as volatile as in the United States. iv CONTENTS CHAPTER I.
