Résumé :

Mean age at death of 168 legendary jazz musicians and 100 renowned classical musicians were compared to examine whether psychosocial stressors such as severe substance abuse, haphazard working conditions, lack of acceptance of jazz as an art form in the United States, marital and family discord, and a vagabond life style may have contributed to shortened life spans for the jazz musicians. Analysis indicated that the jazz musicians died at an earlier age (57.2 yr.) than the classical musicians (73.3 yr.).

Résumé :

Brief biographical information on four great jazz tenor saxophone players of the past is presented to illustrate the similar psychosocial stressors these men seemed to experience, namely, severe substance abuse, haphazard working conditions, lack of acceptance of their art form in the United States, marital and family discord, and a vagabond life style. Ages at death of 80 great jazz musicians may indicate that the stressful life style of jazz musicians may be reflected in a shortened life span, but a control group is needed.

Abstract: Studying the inception of early jazz in 20th-century New Orleans can provide opportunities to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion by increasing cultural competency. Providing students with a historical framework for the creation of jazz may promote empathy with musicians of diverse races, cultures, and musical backgrounds while applying these lessons to students' lives today. Early jazz itself can be examined as a combination of African and European musical ancestry brought together by Black, White, and Creole musicians for the birth of a unique musical idiom to the Un

AbstractFrom 1947 to 1948 the Dizzy Gillespie orchestra with Chano Pozo produced some of the most important recordings that contributed to the development of Afro-Cuban jazz. Pozo had already led a successful career as a professional musician in Havana before he moved to New York City, where he met Gillespie and joined his bebop big band. The integration of a black Cuban percussionist into Gillespie's all-black band raises important questions about the racial politics enveloping the popularization of bebop, Afro-Cuban jazz, and the work of others in contemporaneous political, cultural, and int

Résumé :

The introduction of jazz and blues in the United States of America influenced the works of Afro American writers both in content and form. These jazz and blues musical songs were used as mediums to protest against racism, class, gender and other inhuman practices meted on the blacks in the United States. Although these songs were not formally written, they became a source of inspiration for writers afterwards in terms of themes and style. The later writers who changed to formal literature borrowed from the themes and styles of these jazz and blues musicians. This paper is signicant because it

Park "Pepper" Adams, III (1930-1986) is one of the most influential baritone saxophonists in the history of modern jazz. In addition to his time feel, his timbre, and other conceptual techniques, a great deal of Adams's improvisational style and vocabulary can be illustrated by his use of three motivic devices. These three motivic devices are: (1) his utilization of the sixth degree of the major scale as an important melodic pitch; (2) his use of a paraphrased portion of the melody of the popular song "Cry Me a River;" and (3) his use of the half-whole octatonic scale when the rhythm section s

The late nineteenth century was a time of great change for women's roles in music. Whereas in 1870, women played primarily harp or piano, by 1900 there were all-woman orchestras. During the late nineteenth century, women began to perform on instruments that were not standard for them, such as cornet, trombone, and saxophone. The achievements of early female saxophonists scarcely have been mentioned in accounts of saxophone history.

Résumé :

Abstract Jazz helped to start the erosion of racial prejudice in America. The music was a strong magnet to those who had ears for it, and it drew whites and blacks together into a common experience. It was difficult to admire the music without admiring the musicians, and for many whites, educated in prejudice, it was their first chance to discover that blacks could be admirable. The process continued in other popular venues like professional sports and pop music. In the 1920s and ‘30s, black and white musicians enjoyed the social freedom they constructed for themselves within the jazz world, so different from the state of affairs in the rest of the United States at that time. Jazz musicians formed many warm and enduring interracial friendships. But it took a while longer for a few white bandleaders to risk presenting black musicians with their bands. The black pioneers in those bands told many stories of the bitter resistance in the music business to this change. Meanwhile all traveling black musicians faced the hard realities of going into hostile territory to work.

Résumé :

This chapter focuses on jazz musicians in Beijing. While Shanghai owned China's jazz history spotlight in the first half of the twentieth century, Beijing is not without its own indigenous leading lights, musically speaking. Some have been trained in classical music in China and in the United States and have returned to Beijing to perform; others are self-taught. Many are young; some have been around before and after Mao. All are devoted to the music. In Beijing, saxophonist Fan Shengqi is by all accounts the most enduring jazz musician who performed before, during and after Mao. His involvement in the contemporary Chinese music scene is reflected in his participation in China's first guitar festival, held in August 2005 on what is described as “scenic Hainan Island” located in the South China Sea.

Résumé :

Abstract African-American musical practices in the United States cannot be traced directly to specific populations in Africa with any degree of certainty. But it is possible to document certain general practices that are common to music in Africa and to black music in the United States and widespread in both. Thus we can draw reasonable conclusions about possible relationships between musical practices in Africa and those among jazz musicians in the United States. It can be hypothesized, for example, and determined to a high degree of certainty, that particular musical tendencies were brought with Africans to the New World, preserved within and outside the dancing ring of slave culture, and spread throughout African-derived populations in the United States, eventually becoming an integral part of the music we now know as jazz.

This chapter analyzes the initial proliferation of bossa nova in the United States and United Kingdom in the early 1960s, primarily as a jazz and dance fad. By using material culled from top English-language periodicals of the era, it traces the popularity of bossa nova in the United States from its adoption by jazz musicians in the early 1960s, the invention of a dance to accompany the musical trend, and the ultimate rejection of bossa nova by purists in the jazz press. It also shows how the style’s initial popularity was partially due to the divisive racial politics that had overtaken jazz in that era, allowing the Otherness of bossa nova to temporarily offer an alternative for jazz musicians and fans.

There was an enormous influx of jazz in Suriname itself, especially in the decades after World War II. Jazz and swing got their niche alongside other more traditional native music and European classical and ‘light’ entertainment music. Many Surinamers were inspired by jazz from the United States. A few of them founded their own jazz bands. Jazz records came into the country via the American soldiers who were stationed in Suriname during World War II “to protect the bauxite industry.” Musicians in Paramaribo first heard and saw the North American orchestras in the movie houses.

During World War II, the Japanese constructed prisoner of war camps in fifteen countries, including China. These camps numbered approximately 240. The Japanese—whose attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 brought the United States into World War II— saw their global role as manifest destiny, particularly with respect to China. Militarist Japan's attempt to conquer China began by seizing Manchuria in 1931 and became a full-fledged invasion from 1937 [when they attacked Shanghai] to 1945. This chapters shows that American jazz musicians—all of whom were playing in Shanghai—were not immune to the Japanese invasion and occupation. Some landed in internment camps in China and the Philippines.

Abstract This chapter examines the relationship between the academization of jazz education and its contribution to the proliferation of migrants in the New York jazz scene. Building on recent literature on the growing centrality of jazz schools in jazz training, the chapter follows the globalization of jazz education since the 1990s through case studies in India, Israel, and the Bronx. It documents efforts by American jazz programs to recruit international students and traces the role of schools as conduits for migrant musicians into the United States through the facilitation of visas and award of scholarships. It concludes with a discussion of the blurring of boundaries between educational institutions and performance venues, and of how such processes create an economic imbalance between studying, teaching, and performing jazz. The chapter argues that these processes have an important effect on the socioeconomic and racial makeup of the musician population in the New York jazz scene.

Résumé :

Abstract Jazz cnt1c1sm is a significant branch of music cnt1c1sm. It began as a journalistic phenomenon, a new literature for a new music in a new century. In the United States, the home of jazz, those who wrote about it contributed to the making of this fresh and distinct form of journalism about a stimulating indigenous musical form. Jazz criticism defines and explains jazz’s evolving styles and plays a controversial role as liaison between performer, performance interpretation, and listener tastes. It reflects the intense debates about the music it describes, and occasionally it has antagonized the public’s preferences for dancing, listening, and appreciating the art of jazz. In the 1930s the jazz critic emerged as both a studious listener and an irritant to musicians and fans. As jazz aficionados developed their own publications, jazz writing found an identity as a viable and informative prose form, and how it developed reflects how criticism for a cultural genre evolves. Jazz criticism is as phenomenal as film criticism and has no other kindred precedent. The emergence of a serious critical journalism for lowly jazz was heretical to followers of classical music.

Résumé :

This chapter looks at the spread of jazz—both geographically and institutionally. Almost from the start, jazz seemed destined to travel beyond its birthplace in New Orleans, but the pace of that expansion has accelerated in recent decades. Europe, which once looked to the United States for jazz role models, is increasingly self-sufficient, and other regions are also developing strong, homegrown jazz scenes. At the same time, jazz has broken down other barriers, entering schools and universities, and enjoying the support of influential nonprofit organizations such as Jazz at Lincoln Center. This shift has led to the rise of a new generation of musicians who have learned their craft in formal jazz education programs, and in many instances also teach at them, but also operate with fluency in the world of commercial music and popular culture. Artists discussed in this chapter include Brad Mehldau, Regina Carter, Esbjörn Svensson (and his band e.s.t.), and Joshua Redman.

Résumé :

Abstract The onset of the Great Depression had a chilling effect on the jazz world, as it did on the whole entertainment industry. Record sales in the United States had surpassed one hundred million in 1927, but by 1932 only six million were sold—a staggering decline of over 90 percent! Small record companies, a flourishing sector of entrepreneurial activity during the previous decade, shut their doors one by one, and a whole industry appeared to be on the verge of extinction. During this same period, the growing popularity of talking movies led many theaters to halt the elaborate live shows that had previously been a staple of popular entertainment in most cities, further reducing paying jobs for musicians.
