But this isn\u2019t an entirely new development.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While we\u2019re often taught to think of jazz\u2019s history as a cavalcade of great men and their bands, from its beginnings in the early 20th century women played a range of important roles, including onstage. During World War II, right in the heart of the swing era, all-female bands became a sensation, filling the void left by men in the military. But in fact they were continuing a tradition that had begun in the vaudeville years and continued, albeit to a lesser degree, in jazz\u2019s early decades.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Prevented from taking center stage, many female instrumentalists became composers, arrangers or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/12\/26\/arts\/music\/maxine-gordon-dexter-gordon-jazz-advocates.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">artists\u2019 managers<\/a>. Buffeted by sexism from venue owners and record companies in the United States, they often went abroad to pursue careers in Europe or even Asia. As was also true of their male counterparts, the African-American women who helped blaze some of jazz\u2019s earliest trails had to innovate their way around additional roadblocks.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThese jazz women were pioneers, and huge proponents in disseminating jazz and making it a global art form,\u201d said Hannah Grantham, a musicologist at the National Museum of African American History and Culture who studies the work of female jazz musicians and contributed notes to this list. \u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019ve been given enough credit for that, because of their willingness to go everywhere.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The piano and organ were considered more socially acceptable instruments for young women to play, and few serious fans of jazz would be unfamiliar with the names <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1981\/05\/30\/obituaries\/mary-lou-williams-a-jazz-great-dies.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Mary Lou Williams<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/08\/22\/arts\/music\/marian-mcpartland-jazz-pianist-and-npr-radio-staple-dies-at-95.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Marian McPartland<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/hazel-scotts-lifetime-of-high-notes-145939027\/\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Hazel Scott<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2002\/03\/16\/arts\/shirley-scott-67-performer-known-as-the-queen-of-the-organ.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Shirley Scott<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/01\/15\/arts\/music\/15colt.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Alice Coltrane<\/a>. But the ranks of female jazz genius run much deeper than that. Here are 10 performers who made a big impression in their day, but are rarely as remembered as they should be in jazz\u2019s popular history.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Lovie Austin, pianist (1887-1972)<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Lovie Austin composed for and accompanied some of the greatest singers of the early recording era, including Ma Rainey and Ethel Waters. A number of her songs became hits, including \u201cDown Hearted Blues,\u201d a smash for Bessie Smith that sold close to 800,000 copies. Based in Chicago, Austin was also a frequent bandleader at some of the Harlem Renaissance\u2019s most famous venues. Mary Lou Williams counted Austin as her largest inspiration. \u201cMy entire concept was based on the few times I was around Lovie Austin,\u201d she later said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Lil Hardin Armstrong, pianist (1898-1971)<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Lil Hardin met her future husband Louis Armstrong in 1922, when he joined her as a member of King Oliver\u2019s famed Creole Jazz Band. Hardin, who studied at Fisk University and had an entrepreneurial streak, helped bring Armstrong forward as a bandleader, serving as his first manager, pianist and frequent co-composer. After they split up around 1930, she found some success with her own big band, but stepped away from performing years later after determining that male promoters would never be willing to promote her on the same level as men.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Valaida Snow, trumpeter (1904-1956)<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Valaida Snow\u2019s career was a wildfire: a thing of great expanse and then rapid, wrenching exhaustion. She was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/02\/22\/obituaries\/valaida-snow-overlooked-black-history-month.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">a master of the trumpet<\/a> but played a dozen other instruments, as well as singing, doing arrangements for orchestras, dancing, and appearing prominently in early Hollywood films. When the pioneering blues musician and composer W.C. Handy heard her play, he dubbed her \u201cQueen of the Trumpet.\u201d Denied a proper spotlight in Chicago and New York, Snow became a star abroad, touring for years in East Asia and Europe. She wound up stuck in Denmark during World War II, becoming ill while imprisoned there. She escaped in 1942 and spent the rest of her career back in the United States, although her health never recovered.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Peggy Gilbert, saxophonist (1905-2007)<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As a grade-school student in Sioux City, Iowa, Peggy Gilbert quickly became accustomed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/02\/25\/arts\/music\/25gilbert.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">cutting against the grain<\/a>. The daughter of classical musicians, she was told in high school that the saxophone was unsuitable for a young woman \u2014 but she taught herself anyway. A year after graduating she started her first band, the Melody Girls. In 1938, outraged at an article in DownBeat magazine headlined \u201cWhy Women Musicians Are Inferior,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=RmTywORnY58C&amp;pg=PA83&amp;lpg=PA83&amp;dq=peggy+gilbert+downbeat+article&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=iChFYJiUjT&amp;sig=ACfU3U3qgZb-vKH7LNS4nfeX2a1H6ISJVw&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi6irqCrvjoAhXjlHIEHQRSB7Y4ChDoATAAegQICBAB#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">penned a retort<\/a> that the magazine published in full. \u201cA woman has to be a thousand times more talented, has to have a thousand times more initiative even to be recognized as the peer of the least successful man,\u201d she wrote. Talent and initiative were two things Gilbert possessed. She went on to lead ensembles for decades, on the vaudeville circuit and the Los Angeles scene, eventually becoming an official with the musicians\u2019 union there. She continued to perform well into her 90s, and died at 102.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Una Mae Carlisle, pianist (1915-1956)<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Just like better-remembered contemporaries such as Fats Waller and Louis Jordan, Una Mae Carlisle made jazz that was also R&amp;B and also pop \u2014 before the Billboard charts had effectively codified those genres. She was publicly known best as a singer, but she played virtuosic stride piano and composed prolifically too. Part black and part Native American, Carlisle was a pioneer in various ways, as Ms. Grantham pointed out. Carlisle was the first black woman to be credited as the composer of a song on the Billboard charts, and the first African-American to host her own regular, nationally broadcast radio show. She wrote for stars like Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee, and recorded her own hit singles, often with famous jazz musicians as her accompanists, before illness tragically shortened her career.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Ginger Smock, violinist (1920-1995)<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Orphaned at age 6 and subsequently raised by her aunt and uncle, Ginger Smock showed extravagant talents early on. At 10, she performed at the Hollywood Bowl; a year later, she gave a solo recital at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles. She was the only black member of the Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic\u2019s all-student symphony, and soon after she apprenticed with the jazz pioneer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1967\/10\/02\/archives\/stuff-smith-dies-jazz-violinist-58-bandleader-and-songwriter-broke.html\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Stuff Smith<\/a>. She then started an all-female trio, the Sepia Tones, that was a centerpiece of the city\u2019s burgeoning Central Avenue jazz scene, and she soon became \u201cpretty influential on the West Coast,\u201d Ms. Grantham said. Later, Smock hosted a full-length (though short-lived) show on Los Angeles\u2019s CBS affiliate, KTSL, in 1951, making hers the first black band to host a regular TV program.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Dorothy Donegan, pianist (1922-1998)<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>SWING<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" data-en-clipboard=\"true\">Orquestres<\/div>\n<div>Jazz Swing Era<\/div>\n<div>El swing: inicis , 36 &#8211; 45, declivi<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>Orquestres<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a title=\"Fletcher Henderson\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fletcher_Henderson\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Fletcher Henderson<\/a>,\u00a0Fletcher Henderson, New York, Roseland Ballroom,\u00a0In July 1924 the band began a brief engagement at the <a title=\"Roseland Ballroom\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roseland_Ballroom\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Roseland Ballroom<\/a>. Although only meant to stay for a few months, the band was brought back for the Autumn season. Henderson called on the 23 year old cornetist <a title=\"Louis Armstrong\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louis_Armstrong\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Louis Armstrong<\/a> to join the band. On October 13, 1924 history was made when the Henderson band began their re-engagement at Roseland with Louis Armstrong now in the orchestra. Quickly the band became known as the best African-American band in New York. By late 1924 the arrangements by <a title=\"Don Redman\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Don_Redman\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Don Redman<\/a> were featuring more solo work.

Benny Carter i despr\u00e9s ell mateix, plegava<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Although Henderson&#8217;s band was popular, he had little success in managing it. His lack of recognition outside of Harlem had to do more with the times in which he lived, apparently lackluster management, and the hard times that resulted after the 1929 stock market crash. Fletcher had a knack for finding talent, but he did not have much luck keeping it. On many occasions he lost talented members to other bandleaders. He also had trouble with finances. When the band split up in 1934, he was forced to sell some of his popular arrangements to <a title=\"Benny Goodman\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benny_Goodman\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Benny Goodman<\/a> to keep them together.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fletcher_Henderson#cite_note-:0-4\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3>Contributions to jazz and the Harlem Renaissance<\/h3>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Henderson, along with Don Redman, established the formula for swing music. The two broke the band into sections (sax section, trumpet section etc.). These sections worked together to create a unique sound. Sometimes, the sections would play in call-and-response style, and at other times one section would play supporting riffs behind the other.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fletcher_Henderson#cite_note-autogenerated1-10\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[10]<\/a><\/sup> Swing, its popularity spanning over a decade, was the most fashionable form of jazz ever in the United States.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Henderson was also responsible for bringing Louis Armstrong from Chicago to New York in October 1924, thus flipping the focal point of jazz in the history of the United States (although Armstrong left the band in November 1925 and returned to Chicago).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Henderson also played a key role in bringing improvisatory jazz styles from New Orleans and other areas of the country to New York, where they merged with a dance-band tradition that relied heavily on arrangements written out in musical notation.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fletcher_Henderson#cite_note-13\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[13]<\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a title=\"Earl Hines\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Earl_Hines\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Earl Hines<\/a>,\u00a0 On December 28, 1928 (his 25th birthday and six weeks before the <a title=\"Saint Valentine's Day Massacre\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Saint_Valentine%27s_Day_Massacre\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Saint Valentine&#8217;s Day Massacre<\/a>), the always-immaculate Hines opened at Chicago&#8217;s <a title=\"Grand Terrace Cafe\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grand_Terrace_Cafe\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Grand Terrace Cafe<\/a> leading his own big band, the pinnacle of jazz ambition at the time. &#8220;All America was dancing&#8221;, Hines said,<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Earl_Hines#cite_note-Nairn-13\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[10]<\/a><\/sup> and for the next 12 years and through the worst of the <a title=\"Great Depression\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Great_Depression\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Great Depression<\/a> and <a title=\"Prohibition\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prohibition\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Prohibition<\/a>, Hines&#8217;s band was the orchestra at the Grand Terrace.

By the time World War II ended, the focus of popular music was shifting towards singing crooners such as <a title=\"Frank Sinatra\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frank_Sinatra\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Frank Sinatra<\/a> and <a title=\"Jo Stafford\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jo_Stafford\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Jo Stafford<\/a>. As the cost of hiring big bands had increased, club owners now found smaller jazz groups more cost-effective. Some of Ellington&#8217;s new works, such as the wordless vocal feature &#8220;Transblucency&#8221; (1946) with <a title=\"Kay Davis\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kay_Davis\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Kay Davis<\/a>, was not going to have a similar reach as the newly emerging stars.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ellington continued on his own course through these tectonic shifts. While <a title=\"Count Basie\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Count_Basie\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Count Basie<\/a> was forced to disband his whole ensemble and work as an octet for a time, Ellington was able to tour most of Western Europe between April 6 and June 30, 1950, with the orchestra playing 74 dates over 77 days.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Duke_Ellington#cite_note-Lawrence291-49\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[49]<\/a><\/sup> During the tour, according to Sonny Greer, the newer works were not performed, though Ellington&#8217;s extended composition, <i><a title=\"Harlem (Ellington)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harlem_(Ellington)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Harlem<\/a><\/i> (1950) was in the process of being completed at this time.

When Hammond entered the jazz community, integration had not yet begun. Black and white musicians rarely played together and often the prestigious locations permitted only white audiences. Hammond remembers that before the 1920s, black musicians could always find jobs, even if they were low paying. After the instatement of Local 802, a union of professional musicians within New York City, Hammond saw more white people receiving jobs than black people. However, this did not stop the African-American musicians.

However, in 1935, the Goodman Trio began recording. In 1936, the group appeared in a live concert at the Chicago Hot Jazz Society. Hammond fondly remembers this as an innovative moment in jazz history.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Hammond_(record_producer)#cite_note-JazzHist-2\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>FBI inv<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>1935\u20131946: The swing era<\/h2>\n<div>Main article: <a title=\"Swing era\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_era\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Swing era<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Benny Goodman, one of the first swing bandleaders to achieve widespread fame.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In 1935 the Benny Goodman Orchestra had won a spot on the radio show &#8220;<a title=\"Let's Dance (radio)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Let%27s_Dance_(radio)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Let&#8217;s Dance<\/a>&#8221; and started showcasing an updated repertoire featuring <a title=\"Fletcher Henderson\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fletcher_Henderson\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Fletcher Henderson<\/a> arrangements. Goodman&#8217;s slot was on after midnight in the East, and few people heard it. It was on earlier on the West Coast and developed the audience that later led to Goodman&#8217;s <a title=\"Palomar Ballroom\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Palomar_Ballroom\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Palomar Ballroom<\/a> triumph. At the Palomar engagement starting on August 21, 1935, audiences of young white dancers favored Goodman&#8217;s rhythm and daring arrangements. The sudden success of the Goodman orchestra transformed the landscape of popular music in America. Goodman&#8217;s success with &#8220;hot&#8221; swing brought forth imitators and enthusiasts of the new style throughout the world of dance bands, which launched the &#8220;swing era&#8221; that lasted until 1946.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_music#cite_note-Parker-14\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[14]<\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A typical song played in swing style would feature a strong, anchoring rhythm section in support of more loosely-tied woodwind and brass sections playing <a title=\"Call and response (music)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Call_and_response_(music)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">call-response<\/a> to each other. The level of improvisation that the audience might expect varied with the arrangement, song, band, and band-leader. Typically included in big band swing arrangements were an introductory chorus that stated the theme, choruses arranged for soloists, and climactic out-choruses. Some arrangements were built entirely around a featured soloist or vocalist. Some bands used string or vocal sections, or both. Swing-era repertoire included the <a title=\"Great American Songbook\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Great_American_Songbook\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Great American Songbook<\/a> of Tin Pan Alley standards, band originals, traditional jazz tunes such as the \u201c<a title=\"King Porter Stomp\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/King_Porter_Stomp\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">King Porter Stomp<\/a>\u201d, with which the Goodman orchestra had a smash hit, and <a title=\"Blues\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blues\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">blues<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hot swing music is strongly associated with the <a title=\"Jitterbug\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jitterbug\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">jitterbug<\/a> dancing that became a national craze accompanying the swing craze.

A subculture of jitterbuggers, sometimes growing quite competitive, congregated around ballrooms that featured hot swing music. A dance floor full of jitterbuggers had cinematic appeal; they were sometimes featured in newsreels and movies. Some of the top jitterbuggers gathered in professional dance troupes such as <a title=\"Whitey's Lindy Hoppers\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Whitey%27s_Lindy_Hoppers\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Whitey&#8217;s Lindy Hoppers<\/a> (featured in <i><a title=\"A Day at the Races (film)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A_Day_at_the_Races_(film)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">A Day At the Races<\/a><\/i>, <i><a title=\"Everybody Dance (film)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Everybody_Dance_(film)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Everybody Dance<\/a><\/i>, and <i><a title=\"Hellzapoppin' (film)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hellzapoppin%27_(film)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Hellzapoppin&#8217;<\/a><\/i>). <a title=\"Swing (dance)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_(dance)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Swing dancing<\/a> would outlive the swing era, becoming associated with <a title=\"R&amp;B\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/R%26B\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">R&amp;B<\/a> and early <a title=\"Rock&amp;Roll\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rock%26Roll\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Rock&amp;Roll<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As with many new popular musical styles, swing met with some resistance because of its improvisation, tempo, occasionally risqu\u00e9 lyrics, and frenetic <a title=\"Swing (dance)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_(dance)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">dancing<\/a>.

Swing was sometimes regarded as light entertainment, more of an industry to sell records to the masses than a form of art, among fans of both jazz and &#8220;serious&#8221; music. Some jazz critics such as <a title=\"Hugues Panassi\u00e9\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hugues_Panassi%C3%A9\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Hugues Panassi\u00e9<\/a> held the polyphonic improvisation of New Orleans jazz to be the pure form of jazz, with swing a form corrupted by regimentation and commercialism. Panassi\u00e9 was also an advocate of the theory that jazz was a primal expression of the black American experience and that white musicians, or black musicians who became interested in more sophisticated musical ideas, were generally incapable of expressing its core values.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_music#cite_note-Gennari_2006-15\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[15]<\/a><\/sup> In his 1941 autobiography, <a title=\"W.

Some big bands were moving away from the swing styles that dominated the late 1930s, for both commercial and creative reasons. Some of the more commercial big bands catered to more &#8220;sweet&#8221; sensibilities with string sections. Some bandleaders such as <a title=\"John Kirby (musician)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Kirby_(musician)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">John Kirby<\/a>, <a title=\"Raymond Scott\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raymond_Scott\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Raymond Scott<\/a>, and <a title=\"Claude Thornhill\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Claude_Thornhill\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Claude Thornhill<\/a> were fusing swing with classical repertoire. Lower manpower requirements and simplicity favored the rise of small band swing. The <a title=\"Savoy Sultans\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Savoy_Sultans\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Savoy Sultans<\/a> and other smaller bands led by <a title=\"Louis Jordan\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louis_Jordan\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Louis Jordan<\/a>, <a title=\"Lucky Millinder\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lucky_Millinder\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Lucky Millinder<\/a>, <a title=\"Louis Prima\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louis_Prima\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Louis Prima<\/a>, and <a title=\"Tony Pastor (bandleader)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tony_Pastor_(bandleader)\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Tony Pastor<\/a> were showcasing an exuberant &#8220;jump swing&#8221; style that would lead to the postwar rise of <a title=\"R&amp;B\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/R%26B\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">R&amp;B<\/a>. In a 1939 <i>Downbeat<\/i> interview, Duke Ellington expressed dissatisfaction with the creative state of swing music;<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_music#cite_note-17\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[17]<\/a><\/sup> within a few years he and other bandleaders would be delving into more ambitious, and less danceable, forms of orchestral jazz and the creative forefront for soloists would be moving into smaller ensembles and <a title=\"Bebop\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bebop\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">bebop<\/a>. <a title=\"The Earl Hines Orchestra\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Earl_Hines_Orchestra\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">The Earl Hines Orchestra<\/a> in 1943 featured a collection of young, forward-looking musicians who were at the core of the <a title=\"Bebop\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bebop\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">bebop<\/a> movement and would in the following year be in the <a title=\"Billy Eckstine\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billy_Eckstine\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Billy Eckstine Orchestra<\/a>, the first big band to showcase bebop. As the swing era went into decline, it secured legacies in vocalist-centered popular music, &#8220;progressive&#8221; big band jazz, R&amp;B, and bebop.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The trend away from big band swing was accelerated by wartime conditions and royalty conflicts.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_music#cite_note-18\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[18]<\/a><\/sup> In 1941 the American Society of Composers and Producers (<a title=\"ASCAP\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ASCAP\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">ASCAP<\/a>) demanded bigger royalties from broadcasters and the broadcasters refused. Consequently, ASCAP banned the large repertoire they controlled from airplay, severely restricting what the radio audience could hear. ASCAP also demanded pre-approval of set lists and even written solos for live broadcasts, to assure that not even a quoted fragment of ASCAP repertoire was broadcast. Those restrictions made broadcast swing much less appealing for the year in which the ban was in place. Big band swing remained popular during the war years, but the resources required to support it became problematic. Wartime restriction on travel, coupled with rising expenses, curtailed road touring. The manpower requirements for big swing bands placed a burden on the scarce resources available for touring and were impacted by the military draft. In July 1942 the <a title=\"American Federation of Musicians\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/American_Federation_of_Musicians\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">American Federation of Musicians<\/a> called a <a title=\"1942\u201344 musicians' strike\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1942%E2%80%9344_musicians%27_strike\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">ban on recording<\/a> until record labels agreed to pay royalties to musicians. That stopped recording of instrumental music for major labels for over a year, with the last labels agreeing to new contract terms in November 1944. In the meantime, vocalists continued to record backed by vocal groups and the recording industry released earlier swing recordings from their vaults, increasingly reflecting the popularity of big band vocalists. In 1943 <a title=\"Columbia Records\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Columbia_Records\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Columbia Records<\/a> re-released the 1939 recording of \u201c<a title=\"All or Nothing at All\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/All_or_Nothing_at_All\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">All or Nothing at All<\/a>\u201d by the <a title=\"Harry James\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harry_James\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Harry James Orchestra<\/a> with <a title=\"Frank Sinatra\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frank_Sinatra\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Frank Sinatra<\/a>, giving Sinatra top billing (&#8220;Acc. Harry James and his Orchestra&#8221;). The recording found the commercial success that had eluded its original release. Small band swing was recorded for <a title=\"1942-44 musicians' strike\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1942-44_musicians%27_strike#Small_specialty_labels\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">small specialty labels<\/a> not affected by the ban. These labels had limited distribution centered in large urban markets, which tended to limit the size of the ensembles with which recording could be a money-making proposition. Another blow fell on the market for dance-oriented swing in 1944 when the federal government levied a 30% excise tax on &#8220;dancing&#8221; nightclubs, undercutting the market for dance music in smaller venues.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swing_music#cite_note-19\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">[19]<\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The war&#8217;s end saw the elements that had been unified under big band swing scattered into separate styles and markets. Some &#8220;progressive&#8221; big bands such as those led by <a title=\"Stan Kenton\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stan_Kenton\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Stan Kenton<\/a> and <a title=\"Boyd Raeburn\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boyd_Raeburn\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">Boyd Raeburn<\/a> stayed oriented towards jazz, but not jazz for dancing. Much of the top instrumental talent of the period were performing in small band formats ranging from <a title=\"R&amp;B\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/R%26B\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">R&amp;B<\/a> to <a title=\"Bebop\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bebop\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">bebop<\/a>. The hard core dancing niche formerly occupied by hot big band swing was occupied by small &#8220;jump&#8221; bands and R&amp;B. Popular music was centered on vocalists, and a full-time big band to back up a vocalist was increasingly seen as an unnecessary expense. By 1947 the economics of popular music led to the disbanding of many established big bands. Big band music would experience a resurgence during the 1950s, but the connection between the later big band music and the swing era was tenuous.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>L&#8217;ERA DEL SWING<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>MARSHALL STEARNS<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" data-en-clipboard=\"true\">Buck dance<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ebF5Rh1HT5Y\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/ebF5Rh1HT5Y<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SQEFlIc6WvI\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/SQEFlIc6WvI<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IyDFpeTMJ1c\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/IyDFpeTMJ1c<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Katherine Dunham<\/div>\n<div>Escena de ballet a Stormy Weather<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/UcN0G7xItwo\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/UcN0G7xItwo<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7iwhM2319UA\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/7iwhM2319UA<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HKcabB82WvM\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/HKcabB82WvM<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>39 Harlem Background p.315<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>El 17 juny de 1928 va comen\u00e7ar una marat\u00f3 de ball al Manhattan Casino, inicialment 80 parelles.

This band -with Lips Page on trumpet, Ben Webster on tenor, and Count Basie at the piano-ignited a musical revolution by the sheer power and drive of its playing. Substituting a guitar for the banjo and a string-bass for the tuba, Moten&#8217;s band generated a more flowing, lifting momentum. The effect on the dancers was to increase the energy and speed of execution, a necessary preliminary for the acrobatics to come.<\/div>\n<div>In a sense, The Lindy is choreographed swing music. Unlike earlier Dixieland jazz, and the Toddle, which was danced to it, a bouncy, up-and-down style of dancing, swing music and Lindy flowed more horizontally and smoothly. There was more rhythmic continuity. again, swing music and the Lindy were more complicated, for while a LIndy team often danced together during the opening ensembles of a big band, they tended to go into a breakaway and improvise individual steps when the band arrangement led into a solo.<\/div>\n<div>The similarity is conscious and intentional, for jazz dancers follow the music closely. Describing an incident at the Savoy in 1937, Leon James remarks: &#8220;Dizzy Gillespie was featured in the brass section of Tewddy Hill&#8217;s screaming band. A lot of people had him pegged as a clown, but we loved him. Every time he played a crazy lick, we cut a crazy step to go with it. And he dug us and blew even crazier stuff to see if we could dance to it, a kind of game, with the musicians and dancers challenging eachh other.<\/div>\n<div>Great musicians inspire great dancers -and vice versa- until the combination pyramiuds inbto the greatest performances of both. &#8220;I wish jazz was played more often for dancing&#8221; sid LEster Young during his lst years with the Count Basie band, &#8220;The rhythm of the dancers comes back to you when you&#8217;re playing&#8221;. One of the reasons for the early development of great big-band jazz at the Savoy was the presence of great dancers.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>cita lester young insipraci\u00f3 dels m\u00fasics stearns? p. 325 stearns, p 148 bateries i tap dance<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ball, Blues, Can\u00e7ons, Frankie Manning, Jam videos, M\u00fasics, SWing Marshall Stearns BALL Harland Dixon i James Cagney: https:\/\/youtu.be\/7hNIXpqjCWA John Bubbles https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sSlhdfiXJQ0 https:\/\/youtu.be\/4lvMajW4DGo ella fitzgerald lindy shag https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b3VZUjQPPVU diversos lindy https:\/\/youtu.be\/Xr1kvxThe_4?t=63 Lucky Millinder gran ball lindy https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uzTeq55ICYo&amp;list=PL8BA1A16C64A6286F&amp;index=21\u00a0OLD School Lindy Hop, col\u00b7lecci\u00f3 &nbsp; BLUES https:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/articles\/the-queer-black-woman-who-reinvented-the-blues https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_1930s_jazz_standards#1938 when you&#8217;re smiling When you&#8217;re smilin&#8217;, when you&#8217;re smilin&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0\/ quan tu &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/materials-swing\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Materials Swing&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1626"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1626"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1627,"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1626\/revisions\/1627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/meumon.synology.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
