Press. OffBeat/offbeat.com: “WWOZ to Air Two-Part Celebration of Allen Toussaint on His Birthday” Sam DArcangelo, January 12, 2016 “WWOZ will air a special, two-part episode of New Orleans Calling in honor of Allen Toussaint’s birthday on January 14. The broadcast will take place from 2pm-4pm CT.” “Part One lets Toussaint tell his story in his own words using interviews preserved at the Archive of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.” “Part Two includes interviews with some of Toussaint’s longtime collaborators and friends. It paints a picture of a remarkable and seemingly contradictory man, who was both soft spoken and powerful, and who was able to bring out the best in musicians.” Gambit/bestofneworleans.com: “Blake Pontchartrain: Who is ‘Infrogmation’?” January 11, 2016 “Froggy, as some people call him, asked that we not reveal his real name, preferring to protect the anonymity under which he works online. We can tell you that he has lived in New Orleans since 1977, has been a volunteer disc jockey on WWOZ since its earliest days in 1981 and hosts a weekly traditional jazz show on Monday mornings. Infrogmation also writes about jazz history.” The Advocate [Baton Rouge]/theadvocate.com: “Smiley: True grits?” Smiley Anders, January 6, 2016 “I treasure the few radio stations that still promote local and regional music — in New Orleans, WWOZ; in Acadiana, KVPI in Ville Platte, and in Baton Rouge, WBRH and KBRH, the Baton Rouge High stations. Rob Payer says the Baton Rouge stations will have a new simulcast music show starting Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The great blues singer Luther Kent will host the show, ‘Luther’s House Party.’” Esquire/esquire.com: “Happy New Year, It's Going to Be a Doozy” Charles P. Pierce, January 1, 2016 “Weekly WWOZ Pick To Click: ‘Clarksdale’ (Mississippi Bigfoot): Yeah, I pretty much still love New Orleans.” Page 5 of 7 WWOZ Board of Directors General Manager’s Report January 13, 2016 12.

I’ve never known any other type of music to get so misconstrued by its name.’ (Rob Playford, 1996) Of all of the dance music genres, none has been surrounded with quite so much controversy over its name than jungle. No sooner had it been coined than exponents of the scene were up in arms about the racist implications. Arguments raged over who rst used the term and many others simply refused to acknowledge the existence of the moniker. It wasn’t the rst time that jungle had been used as a way to describe a sound. Kool and the Gang had called their 1973 funk standard Jungle Boogie, while an instrumental version with an overdubbed ute part and additional percussion instruments was titled Jungle Jazz. The song ends with a Tarzan yell and features grunting, panting and scatting throughout.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • Capturing Hip Hop Histories
    capturing hip hop histories SOUTH-WEST HEADZ Master Blast Roadshow poster by Raz (Kilo), 1986. Photograph: Kilo. First published 2021 2021 Adam de Paor-Evans Cover graff by Remser Remser started writing in 1997 after seeing dubs and pieces by Sceo, Fixer, Teach, and G-Sane at the M5 pillar spot in Exeter. His school bus used to loop around Sannerville Way and the pieces could be seen from the road as well as the train. A couple of years prior to this, Remser’s mum randomly bought him a copy of Spraycan Art, and he knew straight away that it was something he wanted to be part of. In early 2000 he moved to London and hooked up with the DNK/CWR boys, they were way better than him and super-active but this experience pushed him to develop his style and learn about all aspects of graffiti writing. Respect and love to all of the South-West writers and hip hop headz, too many to mention but you know who you are! DNK CWR Waxnerds forever...
