SWING: THE ESSENTIAL LISTENING COMPANION THIRD EAR GREAT MUSICIAN

In the 1920s, many black regional jazz bands were recorded and became products of the entertainment industry, which was altering the face of America from the handmade, homemade, homemade society of the ninteenth century to the mass-produced, mass-consumed technological culture of the twentieth century.Making use of the files of African American newspapers, such as the Chicago Defender, as well as published and archival oral history interviews, Hennessey explores the contradictions that musicians often faced as African Americans, as trained professional musicians, and as the products of differing regional experiences. From Jazz to Swing follows jazz from its beginnings in the regional black musics of the turn of the century in New Orleans, Chicago, New York, and the territories that make up the rest of the country.

Probes the conflicts between the artistry of Black musicians and the control by largely white-owned businesses of jazz distribution--the recording companies, booking agencies, festivals, clubs, and magazines.

"A must for all who would more knowledgeably appreciate and better comprehend America's most popular music." ? Langston Hughes"The path the slave took to 'citizenship' is what I want to look at. And I make my analogy through the slave citizen's music?through the music that is most closely associated with him: blues and a later, but parallel development, jazz... [If] the Negro represents, or is symbolic of, something in and about the nature of American culture, this certainly should be revealed by his characteristic music."So says Amiri Baraka (previously known as LeRoi Jones) in the Introduction to Blues People, his classic work on the place of jazz and blues in American social, musical, economic, and cultural history. From the music of African slaves in the United States through the music scene of the 1960's, Baraka traces the influence of what he calls "negro music" on white America?not only in the context of music and pop culture but also in terms of the values and perspectives passed on through the music. In tracing the music, he brilliantly illuminates the influence of African Americans on American culture and history.

"Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn."--Charlie Parker"What is jazz? The rhythm--the feeling."--Coleman Hawkins"The best sound usually comes the first time you do something. If it's spontaneous, it's going to be rough, not clean, but it's going to have the spirit which is the essence of jazz."--Dave BrubeckHere, in their own words, such famous jazz musicians as Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Fletcher Henderson, Bunk Johnson, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Clarence Williams, Jo Jones, Jelly Roll Morton, Mezz Mezzrow, Billie Holiday, and many others recall the birth, growth, and changes in jazz over the years. From its beginnings at the turn of the twentieth century in the red-light district in New Orleans (or Storyville, as it came to be known), to Chicago's Downtown section and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and Chicago's South Side to jam sessions in Kansas City to Harlem during the Depression years, the West Coast and modern developments, the story of jazz is vividly and colorfully documented in hundreds of personal interviews, letters, tape recorded and telephone conversations, and excerpts from previously printed articles that appeared in books and magazines.There is no more fascinating and lively history of jazz than this firsthand telling by the men who made it. It should be read and re-read by all jazz enthusiasts, musicians, students of music and culture, students of American history, and other readers. "A lively book bearing the stamp of honesty and naturalness."--Library Journal. "A work of considerable substance."--The New Yorker. "Some of the quotations are a bit racy but they give the book a wonderful flavor."--San Francisco Chronicle.

"Summertime Variations ist meine dritte Bearbeitung von Gershwins Summertime - und meine erste für Klavier solo. Sie beginnt und endet sehr ruhig und cantabile mit einer Meditation über das bekannte Eröffnungsmotiv. Der ganzen Melodie liegen dann die swingenden, sehr virtuosen Presto-Variationen des Mittelteils zugrunde.Komponiert als Konzertstück für meine klassischen Solo-Recitals, spiele ich Summertime Variations aber auch als Zugabe oder bei meinen regelmäßigen Auftritten bei Jazz-Festivals wie etwa in Montreux."
