    Hamad Thrills Fans at Dusk,Jazz Insights: Frankie Carle,Is This Jazz?: Passion Reverence Transcendence — a Tribute To

    In Pursuit of an Out Of This World Girl, JeanLou Shines On SuperNova Girl JeanLou is one of the city’s most active performers — he released three projects in just one year. He kicked things off in 2017 with, Since Your Listening… The five-song project was the official start of his musical journey. What came next is what really caught my attention. In early 2018 came the arrival of Melodies & Remedies, Vol. 1. On that project is one of my favorite tracks by JeanLou, “Sade,” a warm-hearted ode to “the one” in his life. This was moment I became fully aware of his talents, but arriving late to the party I knew something new was in store for the future. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait too long for that, as project number 3, SuperNova Girl, would arrive a few months after Melodies & Remedies, Vol. 1 Strapped with 10 songs, SuperNova Girl sports features Z100Wave and Yoshe Mars, along with production from Gold, DreamNation, Mantra and Rrarebear. Throughout the album, JeanLou displays his versatility, stringing together songs with tempos and different sounds, from slow-paced and stripped-down R&B to the more upbeat and energetic dance sound. Kicking the album off with a clip from the 1999 movie, Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, JeanLou gets things going with “Zenon’s Interlude.” The track features a dose of the slow-paced, stripped-down R&B, which appears once again in the following track, “Lust.” “Zenon’s Interlude” serves as a slight nudge forward into the album’s content, depicting his experience with a girl who’s “out of this world.” Vulnerable as ever, he sits on the wing of his spaceship, top hat tipped down low, as he puts his feelings on wax for this girl.

  • Aaron Keim Graduate Non Fiction Jazz on a Horse, the Musical Style of Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies

    Aaron Keim Graduate Non Fiction Jazz on a Horse, the Musical Style of Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies

    Aaron Keim Graduate Non Fiction Jazz On A Horse, the Musical Style of Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies Beginning in 1932, musicians from America’s Southwest produced their own type of jazz that has since been labeled western swing. These jazz musicians were geographically isolated from the jazz scenes in the American urban centers of the East. They made music that mixed jazz with traditional string band styles, using both jazz instruments and folk instruments to create a unique sound. Due to racial and cultural stereotypes, geographical issues and issues of instrumentation, such music has been ignored by jazz historians and left out of the canon of jazz history. If modern listeners can place the early jazz style into this unique context and concentrate on how the music sounds, it is not so hard to accept western swing as a branch of the jazz tradition. After all, to white people of the rural Southwest, western swing was their kind of jazz. Even though western swing possesses characteristics that seem foreign to modern jazz tastes, a detailed study of how the music was played will demonstrate that it does have credibility has a type of jazz. An appropriate place to begin this study is with the first superstars of western swing, Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies. The Brownies were responsible for setting the repertoire, sound and playing style for western swing. Through a careful analysis of these characteristics we can illuminate this style as a type of jazz and show how important the Brownies are to American music. While engaging in this study of the Brownies’ music, we will also uncover important cultural issues that address race, class, geography, musical transmission and musical culture of the depression era.
