AVeryCanadianFilm: Physics and Jazz
Samuel H. Lawson's notebook: Topic - the importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion in mathematics and physics.
Adolphe Sax (1814 - 1894) was a Belgium musician and inventor, he invented the saxophone around 1840. The saxophone was used by Europeans to make various types of European music. I seriously doubt anyone in Europe could have predicted the kind of music made by John Coltrane, Charlie Parker et al., using the saxophone. Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731), an Italian, invented the piano. The piano was used by Europeans to make various types of European music. I seriously doubt anyone in Europe could have predicted the kind of music made by Jelly Roll Morton, Art Tatum et al., using the piano, and so on and so forth. The point is obvious. Instruments and techniques created by people of one culture are free to be used by people from a different culture to create something new and worthwhile, if they are given the opportunity.

Throwback: Fletcher Henderson-New King Porter Stomp
Tumblr media
Fletcher Henderson recorded Jelly Roll Morton's "King Porter Stomp" multiple times with his orchestra starting in 1925. Morton introduced the song with his inaugural 1923 recording but the popularity of Henderson's version led the way to it becoming a jazz standard. Henderson was a known bandleader who had been pioneering swing music with Dewey Redman during his residency at the Roseland Ballroom in New York in 1923. His band became very influential with stars like Duke Ellington referencing them as inspiration. Henderson and Redman's jazz innovations included the addition of a young Louis Armstrong in the group for a year. The work of Henderson and Redman helped kick off dances like the Lindy Hop and the jitterbug which outlived the swing era.
"King Porter Stomp" was essential to the development of jazz music but it was Benny Goodman's recording of Henderson's arrangement that made it a hit. Henderson's influence as an arranger grew after he went to work providing charts for Goodman's band during their job on NBC's Let's Dance. His own band was the best in the state but it was difficult for them to survive because of economic struggles. The pianist, composer and bandleader did not become famous but his work as an arranger helped jazz evolve from the Dixie to the swing era. The rhythmic cohesion of swing music was a prelude to the musical concept of the groove which is found most pop music such as R&B, hip-hop and funk. Fletcher Henderson died in 1952 and in 1982 his childhood home in Cuthbert, Georgia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Satch Jelly Roll and The King

Satch Jelly Roll and The King
"I invented jazz in a barroom in New Orleans in 1910," claimed Jelly Roll Morton. Like many of Jelly's claims, this was exaggeration. But his genius had a powerful impact on the development of the music.
The late Louis Armstrong, called "Satchelmouth" was around so long that his contributions to the art were sometimes forgotten. But the standards of horn playing and singing he set influenced virtually every major jazz figure who followed. The brilliance of Louis' trumpet breaks, his startling conception of the voice as a jazz instrument influenced such latter-day musicians as Roy Eldridge, Bunny Berigan, Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald. His other nickname, "Pops" was significant. In many ways, he was the daddy of them all.
Joe "King" Oliver was the last of the New Orleans trumpet masters. He was Louis' idol and gave Louis his start. New Orleans jazzmen did not confer such titles as "King" lightly.

Lecture 2: An example of an early Jazz record is Jelly Roll Morton’s (real name: Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe) “The Pearls (A Stomp),” recorded on the Indiana-based Gennett Records label on July 18, 1923. Morton’s life is a mix of legend and apocryphal biographical fragments. He lived from 1890 to 1941 (although he repeatedly claimed he was born in 1885), and he often exaggerated his accomplishments and experiences to attract attention. He often referred to himself as the “Inventor of Jazz” (no one individual invented it, but he was certainly an early key figure in the genre), and he lived an intriguing life in New Orleans, dying much too young at age 50.

The Crave - Jelly Roll Morton

Day #157: Today I Listened to ‘Black Bottom Stomp’ by Jelly Roll Morton. Listening to music this old makes me think of Jeremy from Peep Show saying “Yeah I was really pleased with the track… once we got that weird hiss off… I mean, we’ll never get it off entirely but, you know…”
I appreciate the remastering of this to give the low end a bit more beef. It makes it easier to imagine a noisy room full of people doing the Charleston… and lots of snakes, to account for the hissing. There’s such a melee of soloing instruments that I found it fun give each one a ‘yay’ or ‘nay’, like some sort of talent show judge. Clarinet, banjo… shantay you stay. Everyone else… sashay away.
