Pg 2 The Sugarfoot Ramblers are a group of young musi- cians from Melbourne who have studied and played con- temporary jazz styles, but also share a love of traditional jazz. After spending time in New Orleans, Travis Woods and Daniel Berry decided to form this band to explore the classic traditional jazz repertoire. The group has performed around towns quite regularly over the years including appearances at the Wangaratta Jazz Festival, Newcastle Jazz Festival, Stonnington Jazz Festival, Bellingen Jazz Festival, Bennetts Lane Jazz Club, The Paris Cat, Fitzroy Pinnacle and Uptown Jazz Cafe.

Band Review………………… Brian Drennan This was our annual visit by talented musicians, students, ex-students and teachers from the Ballarat High School, all joining together to present “the Geoff Herkes Memorial Jazz Afternoon”. A capacity crowd was treated to a wonderful concert of lively jazz and swing music, presented in a most professional manner. The teaching staff provided the backing band - - - Damien Woods (Director of Music – Piano), Bryn Hills (Trombone), Alistair Lethlean (Drums), with guest artist Ian Riethoff (Double Bass). - - Wow! What an outfit! Student, Alana, took command of the stage and compered the show, as well as entertaining us with a couple of excellent vocals. The three tenors - - - no not those famous ones, but 3 year 9 students on their way to fame and fortune playing tenor saxophones - - tenor madness. We then heard a lovely clarinet solo by Miranda - - Moondance, followed by Duncan on the alto sax with a really good rendition of Take Five. Excellent vocals by Ella, Alana and Peggy singing Orange Coloured Sky and Summertime. We were entranced by the lovely harmonies performed by Peggy (Vocals and Trombone) and Paula (Vocals and Sax) - - These are our Favourite Things and Crazy. Topsy an ex-student, PHD in Music, teacher, great guitar and vocals performed Georgia, the Death of Me ( own composition) and Early 2000 Pop. This performance was red hot! She was off to the plane for Canada that night. Gemma (vocals) and Josh (guitar) were swinging along with unbelievable jazz and the funky – I wish. Different but very good. Paula (Sax) had the band and the crowd rocking along to Straighten up and fly right and On the sunny side of the street. Double bass player Ian sang Night and Day and was joined by Paula on Sax giving a top performance of Route 66, Pretty Baby and I Wish Again. The grand finale almost blew the roof off the Golf Club - - - a full-on 14 piece band belting out great numbers including Master Blaster. Whoopee! President Gerard took great pleasure in presenting a cheque for $1000 to the Music Department of the Ballarat High School. The crowd acknowledged a great performance by the entertainers. Our old friend, dearly departed Geoff Herkes, would have been very proud. We all miss him and honour him for setting up the excel- lent liaison we have with the High School.

Most of these materials were transferred from the Copyright Division to the Music Division in 1973 and 1974, at which time they were interfiled with those deposits already catalogued and the entire series was microfilmed. A recording of Jelly Roll Morton reminiscing and playing the piano in the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library was made by Alan Lomax in 1938, and a preservation copy of the original acetates is now housed in the Archive of Folk Culture. A transcript of Morton's reminiscences constitutes the text of Lomax's Mister Jelly Roll (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), and the music from these recording sessions has appeared in numerous re-issues. Performing rights for the music in this collection are reserved by the copyright holders of record.

  • Jelly Roll Morton Interviews Conducted by Alan Lomax (1938) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Ronald D
    Jelly Roll Morton interviews conducted by Alan Lomax (1938) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Ronald D. Cohen (guest post)* Jelly Roll Morton Jelly Roll Morton (1885-1941), born Ferdinand Joseph Lamothe in New Orleans, had Creole parents. He began playing the piano at an early age in the New Orleans Storyville neighborhood during the birth pangs of jazz. For a decade, starting in 1907, he traveled the country as a vaudeville musician and singer; in 1915 his composition “The Jelly Roll Blues” became the first published jazz tune. From 1917 to 1923, he continued performing from his base in Los Angeles, then moved to Chicago where he met Walter and Lester Melrose, who had a music publishing company. Along with his sheet music, Morton began recording for Paramount Records in 1923 as well as for Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana, and for the Autograph label. Backed by various session musicians, particularly the Red Hot Peppers, his most influential recordings came in 1926-30, first for Vocalion, then for RCA-Victor. With the onslaught of the Depression, Morton’s career languished, so he moved to New York, then Washington, D.C., in 1936. He now hosted show “The History of Jazz” on WOL and performed in a local club. Known in 1937 as the Music Box/Jungle Inn, there he met the young, creative, and energetic Alan Lomax. Born in Austin, Texas, the son of the folklorist John Lomax, Alan Lomax (1915-2002) had become assistant-in-charge of the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress (LC) in 1937.

Williams William Russell was born February 26, 1905, in Canton, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. His first impressive musical experiences were hearing tlie calliopes on the excursion and show boats which ^ came to and by Canton. He first wanted to play bass drum when lie heard the orchestra in his Sunday School, but he began playing violin when he was ten. His real name is Russell William Wagner. In about 1929 Tne began writing music; Henry Cowell published some of his music in 1933 and WR decided the use of the name Wagner 6n music would be about equal to writing a play and signing it Henry [or Jack or Frank, etc,] Shalcespeare, so he changed his name for that professional reason. His parents are of German ancestry. His father had a zither, which WR and a brother used for playing at .r concerts a la Chautauqua. He remembers hearing Negro bands on the boats playing good jazz as early as 1917 or 1915, and he was fascinated by it, although he felt jazz might contaminate his classical studies. He played in\^ fraternity band at college. He y studied chemistry at college although his main interest was music, He went to Chicago to continue studying music in 1924, and he says 1^e didn't have sense enough to go to the places where King Oliver/ the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, and others were playing then, and he has since regretted that.
