Listening Journal: Listen to Art Hickman’s “Whispering.” What do you note within it that reminds of Jazz? What does not? Where would you place this in the spectrum of Jazz’s history? Tuesday, August 4 Class 2: Earliest Big Bands Fletcher Henderson Paul Whiteman Orchestra By the early 1920s, Jazz musicians begin to find ways to fuse the sounds of Jazz into the larger ensemble size of the dance orchestra. While a number of paths to doing so are found (some more successful than others), we see a perfect template established through the working relationship of bandleader Fletcher Henderson and arranger Don Redman. Listening Journal: Pick any two recordings of the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra from the 1920s and listen to them for their arrangements. How did the arranger (likely Don Redman) make use of the ensemble to maximize textures? Wednesday, August 5 Class 3: Arrangers and Musical Thumbprints Don Redman/McKinney’s Cotton Pickers Jean Goldkette Orchestra Casa Loma Orchestra The 1920s into the 1930s show us the importance of arrangers in the big band setting.

PO Box 1236 Saratoga Springs NY 12866 USA jimmie lunceford series jazznocracy (1934) Background: By 1934, Jimmie Lunceford’s band was well on the way to becoming one of the top bands in American music. Not only could it play ‘down home’ swing and jazz, it was a precision machine out of the mold of the Glen Gray Casa Loma Orchestra. The Lunceford ensemble was a precision band that could out swing most ensembles and it inspired many leaders such as Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. Miller borrowed some of the Lunceford choreography, and Dorsey eventually hired Lunceford arranger Sy Oliver. Lunceford’s recording contract with the new record label Decca would yield many hits, as well as assure that his records would be heard in jukeboxes across the country. The Music: During the 1930s, Lunceford was being managed by Irving Mills, whose chief client was the Duke Ellington Orchestra. It was Mills who paid for the recording dates the Lunceford band made for RCA Victor in the 1930s.

A with Honors Projects. 169. http://spark.parkland.edu/ah/169 Open access to this Essay is brought to you by Parkland College's institutional repository, SPARK: Scholarship at Parkland. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Final Paper History 105 Parkland College Megan MacFarlane Origins of Jazz Music in America Jazz music, unlike a lot of other genres, was born in America in New Orleans, Louisiana in the early 20th century. The base of jazz was founded from “blues music” which was based off of African American slaves’ hymns and field hollers which they sang in the fields as they picked cotton. During the early 1900s, jazz became very popular against white critics wills because it was created by blacks. One of the most well-known musicians for jazz music is Louie Armstrong. The music was played in clubs and on the streets by not only Armstrong, but by many other artists as well like Dizzie Gillespie and Charlie Parker. Jazz also was one of the first types of music that people could really swing dance to, causing many integrated social gatherings. Jazz is well known for causing a lot of different genres to be born in America, but before jazz was born there was a type of music that led up to jazz’s birth, and that was known as the blues music. The reason blues led to jazz music being invented was because blues had a 12 bar chorus which is what is used in jazz.

  • Black Migrations
    YCCD – 2019 Black History Month Black Migrations Black Migration through Music 1 Introduction As we celebrate Black History Month, we will stop and reflect on names such as, Harriet Tubman, Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, Paul Roberson, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcom X, Rosa Parks, Shirley Chisolm, Maxine Waters, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Former President Barack Obama and so many others for their historical contributions to America and the World, but just for a moment let us take a walk back in time as we acknowledge Woodland’s Community College Resolution 19-01 recognizing and honoring Black History Month with the theme: Black Migrations. Black Migrations can be interpreted in so many different ways, one way is through music, music is universal and for Black Americans it is a form of storytelling. As we walk back in time let us visit with Black Americans whose name you might not be familiar with, nevertheless, their contributions to history have left an everlasting positive imprint on society. Here is Lake County Campus’s interpretation of Black Migrations as we celebrate Black History Month 2019.
