1 April 2014 Volume 39, Number 04 NO NOT ON EASTER SUNDAY! SIDEWALK STOMPERS BOOKED ONE WEEK LATER APRIL 27TH By Rod Belcher Because Easter Sunday happens on our usual third Sunday of the month, for one time only, our PSTJS concert moves to the FOURTH Sunday, April 27, featuring the Sidewalk Stompers. The sextet led by banjoist Karl Walterskirchen is composed of jazz veterans from both sides of the Cascades. They ve performed for us in past years, spotlighting a standout front line that includes reed-master Paul Woltz, trombonist-vocalist Dave Loomis and trumpeter Rick Holzgrafe. Holzgrafe is less familiar to PSTJS members, but was impressive in a 2013 appearance. The solid but non-intrusive rhythm section is led by Walterskirchen as well as Dave Nelson on piano and Paul Hagglund (a PSTJS jazz camp grad) on tuba. As a unit, they offer all shades of the jazz genre, from New Orleans origins through 1920s Flapper Days tunes and the World War Two swing era. WHERE: Ballard Elks Lodge, 6411 Seaview Ave. NW, Seattle. WHEN: Sunday, April 27, 1 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. ADMISSION: $12 PSTJS members; $15 non-members. Pay only at door. FURTHER INFO: Carol Rippey, Or - website: Plenty of free parking; great view & dance floor, snacks, coffee, and other beverages available. NOTES FROM the PREZ! Almost four years ago, Curt Beard s family donated his very extensive CD collection to us. We have been sharing those CD s with our members at $5 each ever since, and the money has been placed in the General Fund. He had such a great collection that the response has been wonderful and we have all benefitted from your purchases. Last month at Jazz I announced a new idea. Since we have very few of his CD s left, I m suggesting that we all go through our personal collections and find CD s we could share with the membership. I know I have many I just never listen to, and would be pleased to bring them to our Sunday Jazz. Just as Curt s collection was of various types of music, please feel free to donate whatever type of music you have. We ll continue to sell them at $5 each and the money will, as always, be deposited in the General Fund. Bring them on down to Jazz any month not just this month, and we ll add them to our CD table. And be sure to check out the new arrivals each month, that one CD you ve always wished you had might just be there, for only $5! Spring cleaning that will benefit our Society, what a deal, that s definitely called a win-win. Just a reminder to those of you who haven t yet sent your Bob Schulz Pledge it s time to get them to Carol now. It is still very necessary that we have extra sponsors for the September gig with the Schulz band. And many thanks for your continued support! Cheers, Judy

3 Jazz Soundings April 2014 Page 3 Names of Jazz Songs By Ray Skjelbred One night many years ago I happened to be in Portland with my friend Jim Goodwin and we decided to drop in on Monte Ballou: banjo player, singer, leader of the Castle Jazz Band and a Portland traditional jazz legend who was playing a gig in some place I ve long forgotten now. Jim and I often played with Monte, but not this night, and we just sat back and listened for fun. At some point he and the band played some improvised blues, and afterward a woman asked him the name of the song. Without a moment s hesitation Monte answered, Fish Are Flexible. I was amazed. It was a crazy, creative thing to say and I am sure Monte made it up on the spot. He was having fun and being playful with language, something musicians tend to do. Recently I had occasion to recall that night and it made me think more about the titles of jazz songs. Why do compositions end up with the titles they have? Here is a little exploration. In the early years of jazz, musicians simply played pop songs of the day in addition to material written specifically for jazz bands. The song structures were similar and crossover use of material was common. Love, of course, was the most common theme, sometimes happy but more often lamenting, with specific angles of thought and relationships like You Took Advantage of Me, Memories of You, and Mean to Me. Another common theme that fell into the lap of jazz was the South or at least a fantasy of the South that forgot about a history of bigotry, the segregation system and Jim Crow laws. Songs about happiness in the south, especially the good old days, and happy Negroes picking cotton, playing banjos and eating (or stealing) chicken (or watermelons) ran wild. Some of these songs had some musical values but I cringe at the underlying thinking. There are plenty of examples, but I don t want to think about them. Remember, even Duke Ellington played at the Cotton Club, a place where blacks were not allowed, except as performers. A more positive direction for me came from the titles that indicated personal events or little details in people s lives. One that stands out to me is Monday Date, which came about because Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines on a Tuesday agreed to meet at a certain place on the following Monday. One of them forgot to show up. The title and words refer to this experience. Joe Sullivan wrote Del Mar Rag to honor his friend Bing Crosby and his racetrack. San Francisco clarinetist Bunky Colman, a doctor, wrote Blue Guaiac Blues to celebrate an unpleasant medical test, which we would all rather not know about. Nevertheless, the title has an exotic sound. Although it is true that racial stereotypes were a dark part of early jazz and American history, there are a number of interesting songs that consider the problem from a more enlightened viewpoint. James P. Johnson s A Porter s Love Song to a Chambermaid tells a love story cleverly with housecleaning images that show romantic attitudes. But the song clearly was an acknowledgement that black society was seen as lower class, that being a domestic was something that everyone in the black world could understand. And yet, in the melody and lyrics there is a kind of joy that lifts the participants above the social world that they are expected to stay in. Louis Armstrong recorded Hustlin and Bustlin for Baby which recounted a working class world and dreams that might just be unrealistic. Again there is a joy and a belief that obstacles can be overcome with hard work. This is one of my favorite Armstrong records and the lyrics bear out the thought that the dream is worth the hard work. Black and Blue is a composition that deals with a subtle kind of discrimination within the black community. Ethel Waters made a great record of this and when you hear all the words you realize the song is not just about being black but how black you are compared to other black people and that there was a sliding scale of social acceptability that was more positive if you were lighter. Jazz is full of well-known and obscure titles that refer to geographical locations, streets and addresses and cultural identifiers. Lu Watters Big Bear Stomp is a reference to a roadhouse in the Oakland hills. Bob Helm s Dawn Club Joys refers to the nightclub where the Watters band first played. Sunset Café Stomp refers to a club where Louis Armstrong played in Chicago. Clark and Randolph is a street corner memorialized by Art Hodes. Shreveport Stomp has a good sound to it and, of course, Seattle Hunch is a keeper. These last two come from Jelly Roll Morton. The Australian musicians are well known for playful and creative titles. Trumpeter Roger Bell wrote The Wombat about a delightful animal and pianist Dave Dallwitz created Nullabor to describe an Australian territory that had no trees. Sometimes titles grow from the playing of a particular instrument. Ory s Creole Trombone is probably the most well known example. There is also Banjoreno a wild banjo number featured by the Dixieland Jug Blowers. Louis Armstrong recorded Cornet Chop Suey and later Bob Helm humorously responded with Clarinet Foo Young. Songs and titles actually do grow from each other. Earl Hines took the chord structure of Shine and rewrote it as Piano Man. Gene Krupa took the same song, featured himself, and called it Drummer Man. Word play is like improvising and we can see that in some titles. Sanford Newbauer, trombonist with the Bay City Jazz Band wrote Aileron Strut which has an obscure swinging sound, if strut is seen as a kind of dance or walk. But a strut is also a support fixture that could hold in place an aileron or the flaps on airplane wings. My favorite is Paul Lingle s Dance of the Witch Hazels, and I probably don t need to discuss the double meaning of witch. For a variety of reasons some songs have more than one name, like Shine and Piano Man. Jelly Roll Morton took the well known Chimes Blues and reimagined it as Mournful Serenade, a bluesier and more melancholy piece. But it s really the same song. Morton often stole from himself. For example, Chicago Breakdown is also Stratford Hunch. One last song title. I ve told it before but the story is fun. Pianist Johnny Wittwer recorded for the Asch label which was later purchased by Stinson. Then a series of recordings came out. One of the masters had been scratched and there was an unclear title, something long beginning with a C and ending with t. So the producers just guessed and called it Canned Meat Rag. It was issued that way, but it was wrong. The real title was Joseph Lamb s Contentment Rag. It sounds just as good with either title! Of course I have now written a piece called Canned Meat Rag because no such song ever existed before.
