  • This Is Our Music V.2-2
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by BCU Open Access 20/11/2015 16:38:00 This Is Our Music?: Tradition, community and musical identity in contemporary British jazz Mike Fletcher As we reach the middle of the second decade of the twenty-first century we are also drawing close to the centenary of jazz as a distinct genre of music. Of course, attempting to pinpoint an exact date would be a futile endeavour but nevertheless, what is clear is that jazz has evolved at a remarkable rate during its relatively short lifespan. This evolution, which encompassed many stylistic changes and innovations, was aided in no small part by the rapid technological advances of the twentieth century. Thus, what was initially a relatively localised music has been transformed into a truly global art form. Within a few short decades of the birth of the music, records, radio broadcasts and globe-trotting American jazz performers had already spread the music to a listening audience worldwide, and it was not long after this that musicians began to make attempts to ‘adapt jazz to the social circumstances and musical standards with which they were more familiar’.1 In the intervening decades, subsequent generations of indigenous musicians have formed national lineages that run parallel to those in America, and variations in cultural and social conditions have resulted in a diverse range of performance practices, all of which today fall under the broad heading of jazz. As a result, contemporary musicians and scholars alike are faced with increasing considerations of ownership and authenticity, ultimately being compelled to question whether the term jazz is still applicable to forms of music making that have grown so far away from their historical and geographic origins.

  • Stéphane Grappelli – a Life in the Jazz Century“
    Anmerkungen zu „Stéphane Grappelli – A Life in the Jazz Century“ DVD 2002 Regisseur: Paul Palmer Mitwirkende: Stéphane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, Yehudi Menuhin, Nigel Kennedy, Martin Taylor, George Shearing, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang, The Paul Whiteman Orchestra, Diz Disley, John Etheridge, Bing Crosby and the Rhythm Boys, Gregor et ses Gregoriens, Lew Grade, Michael Parkinson, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum Vorbemerkungen: Stéphane Grappelli (* 1908 in Paris; † 1997 in Paris) war ein französischer Jazz- Violinist. Er gilt als einer der besten Jazzgeiger in der Geschichte des Jazz. Paul Palmer - ein englischer Journalist, Drehbuchschreiber und Dokumentarfilmer – traf 1996 den Geiger zu einem Gespräch. Das Interview mit Grappelli in der Rue de Dunkerque 87 in Paris, seiner letzten Wohnung, war die Basis für die DVD. DVD-Cover 1 Paul Palmer & Stéphane Grappelli 1996 Filminhalt: Die DVD beginnt mit der Swing-Nummer „Night and Day“ mit Stéphane Grappelli (Violine), Martin Taylor (Gitarre), Louis Stewart (Gitarre) und Jack Sewing (Bass). Vermutlich stammt die Aufnahme aus dem Grand Opera House 1986 in Belfast. 2 Martin Taylor, Stéphane Grappelli, Jack Sewing, Louis Stewart 1986 Belfast Aus den Zeitperioden 1920 – 1990 laufen dann Fotos ab, die den musikalischen Werdegang des Geigers und seine Kooperation mit vielen Musikgrößen beschreibt. Grappelli wurde im Hôpital Lariboisière (damals Armenhospital) 1908 in Paris als Sohn eines italienischen Einwanderers und einer Französin geboren und auf den Namen Stefano getauft. Er verlor seine Mutter im Alter von vier Jahren. Da sein Vater 1914 zur italienischen Armee eingezogen wurde, musste sich sein Vater überlegen, wo er seinen sechsjährigen Jungen unterbringen konnte. Stefano fand zunächst Unterschlupf bei einer Tanzpädagogin, die Kinder unterrichtete.

During this period, jazz was presented in a variety of ways in different venues, on four of which I focus: New Orleans-style jazz commonly performed for the same audiences in Rhythm Clubs and in concert halls (as shown by George Webb’s Dixielanders at the Red Barn public house and the King’s Hall); clubs hosting different styles of jazz on different nights of the week that brought in different audiences (such as the 100 Club on Oxford Street); clubs with a fixed stylistic ideology that changed venue, taking a regular fan base and musicians to different locations (such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club); and jazz in theatres (such as the Little Theatre Club and Mike West- brook’s compositions for performance in the Mermaid Theatre).

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.
