PARAMOUNT RECORDS PARK DESIGN the Village of Grafton, in Part VILLAGE OF GRAFTON REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS WISCONSIN CHAIR COMPANY - PARAMOUNT RECORDS PARK DESIGN The Village of Grafton, in partnership with the Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce Tourism Promotion and Development Committee, is requesting proposals for design services for a new historical experience-oriented public space. The half-acre subject property is owned by the Village and is located at the northeast corner of Falls Road and South Green Bay Road on the former Wisconsin Chair Company factory site (see attached Location Map). HISTORY AND BACKGROUND Paramount Records was founded by the Wisconsin Chair Company in 1917, during an era when 78 rpm records were often sold at furniture stores to promote sales of phonographs and phonograph cabinets. Many of the most important recordings in blues history were made at the studio of Paramount Records, located on the grounds of the Wisconsin Chair Company factory. In 1929 a studio was opened at the facility in Grafton. Between 1929 and 1932 Mississippi-born blues pioneers including Charley Patton, Tommy Johnson, Skip James, Son House, the Mississippi Sheiks, Willie Brown and Henry Townsend traveled north to record at the Wisconsin Chair Company factory studio. With the arrival of the Great Depression record sales declined significantly and in the summer of 1932 Paramount closed its studio. The Wisconsin Chair Company factory shut its doors the following year. Paramount subsequently achieved legendary status among historians and record collectors, including John Steiner, who purchased the label in the late 1940s, and John Tefteller, who decades later uncovered a treasure trove of Paramount advertising images. The Grafton Blues Association, founded in 2006 to celebrate Paramount’s legacy, staged the first annual Paramount Blues Festival that year. The most recent Paramount Blues Festival in Grafton was in 2015. 1 In 2001, the Village worked with Schreiber Anderson Associates to prepare a concept master plan and phased cost estimate for a passive park at the former Wisconsin Chair Company factory site. Paramount Plaza, located in downtown Grafton, was built in 2006 as a way for residents and visitors to remember Grafton’s Blues history. Shaped like a baby grand piano when viewed from above, the Plaza includes piano “keys” inscribed with Blues artists having a connection to the Paramount Records recording studio at the Wisconsin Chair Company factory. A local historian wrote a walking tour of the history of the Blues in Grafton (see attached Paramount Walking Tour Guide). On September 18, 2010, the former Wisconsin Chair Company factory site was designated as a stop on the Mississippi Blues Trail. The Village and the Chamber are now working together to develop a new plan to preserve the historical significance of the former Wisconsin Chair Company factory site and construct an experience-oriented public space. Project goals include: • Create an interactive year-round experience for people of all ages and abilities with ADA access to as much of the site as possible. • Enhance the Mississippi Blues Trail marker. • Connect the downtown Paramount Plaza and the proposed Wisconsin Chair Company-Paramount Records Park. • Improve access to the Milwaukee River, restore the riverbank, and create a fishing pier/overlook. • Produce a creative but practical master plan that can be constructed as planned and phased over time with low maintenance costs. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES NEEDED The qualifications package should address capabilities in the following disciplines (teams of firms are acceptable if a given company doesn’t have professional credentials in one or more of these disciplines): architecture, landscape architecture, park master planning, urban/graphic design, civil engineering (including experience working with WisDNR on riverbank construction), and construction cost estimating and management. Project tasks include: 1. Project Kick Off Meeting: Facilitate and provide electronic materials for a meeting with stakeholders to discuss project approach, timeline, and key design components. 2. Conceptual Site Plan: Prepare a conceptual site plan based on professional experience and the input received at the Kick Off Meeting. 3. Conceptual Site Plan Meeting: Facilitate and provide electronic materials for a meeting with stakeholders to discuss the conceptual site plan. 4. Final Site Plan: Prepare a final site plan based on input received at the Conceptual Site Plan Meeting, with phasing recommendations. 5. Site Renderings: Prepare three renderings of the final construction site and key features to aid in project communication and grant applications. 2 6. Grant Funding Opportunities: Prepare a detailed matrix of funding opportunities including grants, foundations, and other funding sources that align with proposed park improvements. 7. Itemized Cost Estimate: Prepare a detailed itemized cost estimate for all site improvements, with phasing recommendations. 8. Construction Plans and Specifications: Prepare detailed constructions plans, specifications, and quantities ready for construction bidding purposes.

  • The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records Volume II
    ICLA icla.com The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records Volume II The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records Volume II GRAMMY WINNER 2016 - Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records Volume II, a joint release by Third Man Records and Revenant Records and co-produced by leading Paramount scholar Alex van der Tuuk, stretches from 1928 until the label’s unceremonious end in the wake of the Great Depression in 1932, when the money ran out for music. Talent did not stop coming during that time of financial woe. Paramount continued to add creative geniuses to their roster, adding Charley Patton, Son House, Lottie Kimbrough, Clarence Williams, Blue Jay Singers, Dock Boggs, Lillie May “Geeshie” Wiley, Elvie Thomas, Skip James, Willie Brown, Thomas Dorsey and Emry Arthur, just to name a few. The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records Volume II document the roots of gospel and swing and the growth of blues and jazz through the efforts of some of American music’s most creative minds. There is even a hint of bluegrass and traces of rock n roll yet to come. Yet, despite all of Paramount’s great talents, record sales finally plummeted and the company died. Hailed by Wired as “the ultimate box set of iconic American music”, the Rise and Fall of Paramount Records Volume II is housed in a polished aluminum case, evoking the era’s high art deco styling and America’s own Machine Age take on modernist design. The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records Volume II is comprised of a multi-colored foil stamped 250-page large format case bound book with gilded edges that provides the continued history of Paramount Records and anecdotal stories about some of their many music artists.

  • Jelly Roll Morton Interviews Conducted by Alan Lomax (1938) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Ronald D
    Jelly Roll Morton interviews conducted by Alan Lomax (1938) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Ronald D. Cohen (guest post)* Jelly Roll Morton Jelly Roll Morton (1885-1941), born Ferdinand Joseph Lamothe in New Orleans, had Creole parents. He began playing the piano at an early age in the New Orleans Storyville neighborhood during the birth pangs of jazz. For a decade, starting in 1907, he traveled the country as a vaudeville musician and singer; in 1915 his composition “The Jelly Roll Blues” became the first published jazz tune. From 1917 to 1923, he continued performing from his base in Los Angeles, then moved to Chicago where he met Walter and Lester Melrose, who had a music publishing company. Along with his sheet music, Morton began recording for Paramount Records in 1923 as well as for Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana, and for the Autograph label. Backed by various session musicians, particularly the Red Hot Peppers, his most influential recordings came in 1926-30, first for Vocalion, then for RCA-Victor. With the onslaught of the Depression, Morton’s career languished, so he moved to New York, then Washington, D.C., in 1936. He now hosted show “The History of Jazz” on WOL and performed in a local club. Known in 1937 as the Music Box/Jungle Inn, there he met the young, creative, and energetic Alan Lomax. Born in Austin, Texas, the son of the folklorist John Lomax, Alan Lomax (1915-2002) had become assistant-in-charge of the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress (LC) in 1937.

  • “Just a Dream”: Community, Identity, and the Blues of Big Bill Broonzy. (2011) Directed by Dr
    GREENE, KEVIN D., Ph.D. “Just a Dream”: Community, Identity, and the Blues of Big Bill Broonzy. (2011) Directed by Dr. Benjamin Filene. 332 pgs This dissertation investigates the development of African American identity and blues culture in the United States and Europe from the 1920s to the 1950s through an examination of the life of one of the blues’ greatest artists. Across his career, Big Bill Broonzy negotiated identities and formed communities through exchanges with and among his African American, white American, and European audiences. Each respective group held its own ideas about what the blues, its performers, and the communities they built meant to American and European culture. This study argues that Broonzy negotiated a successful and lengthy career by navigating each groups’ cultural expectations through a process that continually transformed his musical and professional identity. Chapter 1 traces Broonzy’s negotiation of black Chicago. It explores how he created his new identity and contributed to the flowering of Chicago’s blues community by navigating the emerging racial, social, and economic terrain of the city. Chapter 2 considers Broonzy’s music career from the early twentieth century to the early 1950s and argues that his evolution as a musician—his lifelong transition from country fiddler to solo male blues artist to black pop artist to American folk revivalist and European jazz hero—provides a fascinating lens through which to view how twentieth century African American artists faced opportunities—and pressures—to reshape their identities. Chapter 3 extends this examination of Broonzy’s career from 1951 until his death in 1957, a period in which he achieved newfound fame among folklorists in the United States and jazz and blues aficionados in Europe.

AN IMPROVISED WORLD: JAZZ AND COMMUNITY IN MILWAUKEE, 1950 – 1970 by Benjamin A.

Barbera The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2012 Under the Supervision of Professor Robert Smith This study looks at the history of jazz in Milwaukee between 1950 and 1970. During this period Milwaukee experienced a series of shifts that included a large migration of African Americans, urban renewal and expressway projects, and the early stages of deindustrialization. These changes had an impact on the jazz musicians, audience, and venues in Milwaukee such that the history of jazz during this period reflects the social, economic, and physical landscape of the city in transition.

Andrew t is hard to believe that our fall RFUF programs have ended. Time sure PRESIDENT I flies! Program Chair and President-Elect Robert Mansell has maintained the RFUF tradition of selecting outstanding speakers for programs. The Robert Mansell attendance has been good, with a high of 95. PRESIDENT ELECT Treasurer William Van Dyke informs me that we now have 250 members for John L. Foltz the 2007-08 year.

The facilities of the Harn Museum William Van Dyke, Jr. Chandler Auditorium are excellent for RFUF programs. I would like for TREASURER each member to consider inviting persons eligible for membership in RFUF to be your guest at a meeting. Bring them to coffee and donuts before the Charles E. Taylor meeting. This will give them an opportunity to look at RFUF and perhaps PAST PRESIDENT become active members. Nothing beats the personal touch. Roy J. Bolduc Some of our members may not be aware of the time and energy that Madelyn Robert F. Lanzillotti Lockhart uses in getting out our RFUF Newsletter twice a year. I have Robert A.
