After several issues, he welcomed contributions from the staff, and Don Gold and I began. to contribute regularly. After Jack left, I inherited Crater's column and wrote it, with occasional contributions from Don and Jack Tynan, until I found that the well was running dry. Don and I wrote it some more and then Crater sort of passed from the scene, much like last year's favorite soloist.

  • Walter Bennett
    THE RECORDINGS OF WALTER BENNETT An Annotated Tentative Personnello-Discography WCAllen WALTER A. „Jock“ BENNETT (trumpet) Reportedly from Pittsfield, Mass., or Chicago. An older man, knew FH from New York days. Reportedly recorded with J.C. Johnson (Feb/29), Bennett´s Swamplanders (Sep/30), Wilmoth Houdini (1931). Played with Fats Pichon (1931); Allie Ross (1931); Savoy Bearcats (1932-33); Eli Rice (1934-37). Joined FH c Sep/42 to c June/43; played lead horn, high notes, was “tremendous” according to fellow musicians; doubled on piano. Believed to be deceased; not listed in 1961 Local 802 Directory. When in 1969 STORYVILLE issued a most interesting piece called "The Other Take" by John R.T. Davies and Laurie Wright, I first became aware of a trumpet player called Walter Bennett. Only very few of the cited recordings were in my collection then, although I had been keen in purchasing every long-playing record in the field of Classic Jazz. (Wisely I decided then not to start collecting 78 records!) Through the great services of Dick M. Bakker of Deventer / The Netherlands I got hold of RISTIC 26 "J.C.Johnson" and from then on Walter Bennett was one of the musicians on top of my list of interest. Getting in contact with John R.T. I received a list of his collection which really left me breathless in those days. Following his advice: "How to make the best out of John R. T.", I had him transcribe the "Bennett´s Swamplanders" titles for me. These titles, together with the J.C.Johnson Five Hot Sparks sides, left a lasting mark in my audio-memory, which in turn made me compiling anything I could find regarding Walter Bennett.

  • The Cotton Club: How Black Performers Faced and Confronted Oppression
    History in the Making, Volume 7, 2020 The Cotton Club: How Black Performers Faced and Confronted Oppression WESLEY LAI The Cotton Club was a popular nightclub in Harlem that operated between 1923-1935, located on the corner of 142nd Street and Lenox Avenue. My essay explores the peak of the club between 1927-1935.1 This essay aims to show that whilst white owners oppressed black performers, black performers still found ways to overcome and refashion their experiences in the club. Ultimately, the Cotton Club became a unique site where there existed an undercurrent of agency from black people. Firstly, my essay explores how white owners mistreated black employees at the club. Secondly, I analyse the ‘white gaze’ and notions of exotica, and the ways black performers subverted this gaze to channel their own self-expression. Next, I examine policies of segregation at the club and other areas in Harlem but also argue that segregation at these places could be flexible. Finally, I explore depictions of the Cotton Club in newspapers and briefly explore black-owned clubs in Harlem and their association with the Cotton Club. Mistreatment And Conditions In The Cotton Club White owners and patrons of the Cotton Club built up a reputation of exploiting and mistreating black performers. In his memoir, Howard Eugene (‘Stretch’) Johnson, a dancer and activist, claimed that the affiliations between the white owners and mobsters amplified the “racist attitudes toward the performers”.2 Johnson’s memoir is particularly useful as Johnson himself performed in the club. This provides rare insight from a black perspective, offering a distinctive voice and confronting premise that gives an immediate sense of the poor conditions and mistreatment he and other black performers experienced.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Bola’s Invitation: Details to Follow Piano keys are gently pressed. You listen along as the player’s hands begin to wander the instrument. The invitational and intimate notes signal the not- quite beginning of a show. It is a music of preparation, not a demonstration of mastery over an instrument. The sound is open, hospitable, and warm. You are not sure what direction it will go, or where you, the listener, will end up. The notes affect your stride; add gusto to your gestures. Your timing is adjusted. For the performer who is playing, the music helps to announce: I am not quite here and neither are you. The sound settles you in, not to dis- cipline you into a model audience, but so you can pour another drink, hang your purse on the back of a chair, nod to someone in the room, get another kiss, make sure the signal is strong. You are given some time to find a place in the event as it begins. What I begin to describe here is a moment from a performance by the Cuban composer and musician named Ignacio Villa, also known as Bola de Nieve. The nickname “Bola de Nieve” (Snowball) was offhandedly given to him by Rita Montaner, the great musical star of stage, radio, and screen as an ironic comment on his black skin and round face.1 His intimate salon style of performing and queer charisma made him one of the most magnetic and beloved Cuban musicians of any century. He was as known for his live, late- night shows during midcentury Cuban nightlife as for his radio appearances Downloaded from https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/chapter-pdf/86664/9780822378877-001.pdf by YALE UNIV user on 01 February 2018 that aired throughout Latin America.

  • History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone Black Artists
    HISTORY OF JAZZ TENOR SAXOPHONE BLACK ARTISTS 1917 – 1934 SIMPLIFIED EDITION 2 INTRODUCTION UPDATE ORIGINAL EDITION Fifteen years have passed since the paper version of this book was published. It is time to be “modern” and let the world have easy access on the internet! This version is a reprint of the original version with a few changes: The Solography has been updated with new discoveries (still some missing items!). Note however that the Statistics part is kept unchanged (lack of time, possibly to be updated later). References to 78 rpm. issues have been omitted. This will make reading of the solography information easier, and discograhies are anyway assumed available to readers. Any feedback will be highly appreciated! Jan Evensmo July 25, 2011 INTRODUCTION UPDATE SIMPLIFIED EDITION In this edition I have removed all introductory information about the jazz solography concept, since this will be found on the Jazz Archeology website anyway. I have also removed all auxiliary chapters like status reports, chronology, summing ups, statistics, etc., these will reappear later in another context. I have also removed the information related to the artists already with their own solography available on Jazz Archeology.
