  • Stan Mcdonald, Playing It with Passion
    STAN MCDONALD, PLAYING IT WITH PASSION By George A. Borgman I first heard reedman Stan McDonald in person when he appeared with the New Black Eagle Jazz Band in March 1980 at The Boston Globe Jazz Festival at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. The fire alarm sounded just before the performance began, and the building was evacuated. My son, Eric, age nine, and I exited through a rear door into an alley where sev- eral Black Eagles were beginning to jam. One of them was Stan McDonald, playing clarinet, and tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, also on the festival’s program, soon joined the session. Twenty minutes later everyone returned inside, for the firemen had extinguished a small fire in a floor ashtray in the lobby. Impressed with the jam session, I wrote a letter to the Globe, saying that the best part of the concert was the music in the alley, and the letter was published. In 1981, I received core- spondence from McDonald, inviting me to come to the Sticky Wicket Pub in Hopkinton, Mass., to hear his new Blue Horizon Jazz Band. In a postscript he wrote, "Remember the Alleymo!" When I arrived at the Sticky Wicket, the band was about to begin a tune, and as I walked by the band- stand, I commented, "Remember the Alleymo!" I heard a woman laugh and later discovered she was McDonald's wife, Ellen, the band's diligent manager. - G. Borgman *** Stan McDonald, whose musicianship and playing style have been acclaimed by fellow musicians and critics for more than 30 years, has accumulated a wide and loyal following among traditional jazz fans, as he has worked with various groups, including the New Black Eagle Jazz Band, and he has led his own bands, the Blue Horizon Jazz Band among them.

  • Music Traditional Jazz Educators Network Resources
    A Traditional Jazz Style Guide by Dave Robinson Foreword For the past 25 years I have been collecting, performing, arranging, teaching, broadcasting and writing about my first musical love, TRADITIONAL JAZZ (aka dixieland, classic jazz, vintage jazz, New Orleans jazz, etc.). This music is frequently misunderstood, and even knowledgeable fans, collectors and musicians disagree on terminology and stylistic divisions. This document presents my view of the most logical stylistic categories of traditional jazz. It is presented as informed opinion, not dogma, and your commentary is welcome. It is hoped that jazz educators will find this guide useful, and that directors of youth ensembles specializing in traditional jazz will make an effort to instill in their bandmembers an understanding of and proficiency in the full spectrum of "flavors" available to them. Towards a Definition of Traditional Jazz Before dividing this pie into logical pieces, we should describe the pie itself. What is "traditional jazz"? What are the common denominators that define it? In my view, "traditional jazz" in the proper sense of the term is jazz which exhibits all or most of the following characteristics: 1) Wind instruments playing polyphonically 2) Easily discernible chord patterns 3) 2/4 or 4/4 meter 4) Instrumentation approximating the following: "FRONT LINE" (HORNS): 1. Trumpet or cornet 2. Clarinet or soprano sax 3. Trombone 4. Tenor, alto or bary sax (sometimes) --or a subset of these RHYTHM SECTION: 1. Piano 2. Banjo or guitar 3. Tuba, string bass or bass sax 4. Drums or washboard --or a subset of these 5) Pre-bop harmonies and phrasing (the earlier the musical vocabulary employed, the greater the compliance to this part of our definition) The single most distinguishing characteristic of traditional jazz is the first element above--the wind instruments playing polyphonically (a New Orleans tradition).

  • Ii H. Ragtime – the Dave Willmorth/Maple Leaf Club Archive
    II H. RAGTIME – THE DAVE WILLMORTH/MAPLE LEAF CLUB ARCHIVE It is seldom that a single musical archive could be described as “definitive,” but this collection of musical materials devoted to, and documenting, the rediscovery, re- examination, and renewal of classic American ragtime in the period of roughly the 1960s to the 1990s is a monument to the enthusiasm and sustained interest of a group of researchers, including Dave Willmorth, associated with the Maple Leaf Club of Los Angeles. The archive, consisting of more than 800 cassettes and nearly 300 reel to reel tapes, includes examples of the playing of younger ragtime performers, as well as performances by the older generation of performers and interpreters. There is extensive presentation of the music of the last surviving major ragtime composer, Joseph Lamb, as well as newly composed rags by dozens of writers, from obscure beginners to established classical artists like William Bolcom. To extend the range of the material there are examples of earlier related recordings by jazz artists like Jelly Roll Morton. The archive is an incomparable resource for anyone interested not only in ragtime, but in American popular culture itself. A partial list of artists represented: Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Earl Hines, Jimmy Yancey, Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Itzak Perlman, Andre Previn, Jean Pierre Rampal, William Bolcomb, Brun Campbell, Trebor Tichenor, David Thomas Roberts, John Arpin, Max Morath, Knocky Parker, Bob Darch, Frank French, Joshua Rifkin, John Arpin. Also in the archive are recordings of most of the major ragtime festivals in the 1970s to 1990s, including the major festival at Sedalia, Missouri, and the important Toronto festival.
