Podcasts about bricktop

Josephine Baker was only 20 years old when she recorded the song “Dinah” at her first studio session 98 years ago this fall. That was just a year after the provocative dancer/singer arrived in Paris, immediately setting the town on fire with her risqué shows at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.And a West Virginian was right there to help her light those blazes.Ada “ Bricktop” Smith, a young Alderson, WV, native, was in Paris several years ahead of Baker, entertaining at composer Cole Porter's famous parties, often teaching his guests the latest dance crazes, such as the Charleston and the Black Bottom. Josephine Baker always acknowledged she was one Ada Smith's protégés in those heady early days of The Jazz Age.“I didn't get my first break on Broadway,” Baker told London's Guardian a half century later. No, she was just a nameless hoofer in the chorus line in those New York shows, she said, but “I became famous first in France in the Twenties.”“Oh yes,” she added, “Bricktop was there. Me and her were the only two, and we had a marvelous time. Of course, everyone who was anyone knew Bricky. And they got to know Miss Baker as well."Ada Smith became one of 1920s' best known American singers/dancers, owning the famed “Chez Bricktop” in Paris from 1924 to 1961. She even got a shout-out in Woody Allen's hit film, Midnight in Paris, in 2011 when the character of Zelda Fitzgerald proposes an evening's escapade:In the next scene, Cole Porter, the Fitzgeralds and their fabulous friends pile into a period open car and tear down Parisian streetd into the night.Ending up at Chez Bricktop, they watch Josephine Baker dance (and the Fitzgeralds drink…)Back to the Song“Dinah,” considered an anthem of the Roarin' Twenties, was not quite two years old when Josephine Baker recorded it that autumn day in 1926 in Paris.It was back in The States that she learned the hot number when she sang it at New York's Plantation Club on Broadway as the understudy to Ethel Waters.Obviously, the song was still much on Baker's mind when she strolled into the Odeon studio for her first recording session. The band recruited to accompany her on the date is thought to be members of a group called “Olivier's Jazz Boys.”“Dinah” by then had been introduced to the world by Waters within a year of its composition in 1925. After it was recorded by Waters for Columbia in 1926, the song went on to be waxxed by everyone from Fletcher Henderson and Cab Calloway to Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers and the Boswell Sisters to Chet Baker, Thelonious Monk and Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli.And, as noted in an earlier Flood Watch article, the tune was famously among the favorites of trumpeter Louis Armstrong, who perform it in most of his numerous live shows and his radio appearances for decades after initially recording it in 1930.Our Take on the TuneWhenever the guys haven't seen each other for a couple of weeks, there's always a special joy when they all get back together again. That was certainly the case at last week's rehearsal. Add to that the fact that Floodster Emeritus Paul Martin dropped by to sit in. That always cranks up the energy level in the room. And you can just hear in this first tune of the evening. This is a public episode.

It's Freaky Friday (Twisted Tuesday??) and Alana is taking over the mic. Buckle in for a wild ride through 1850s New Orleans where we meet all kinds of characters, most especially Mary Jane “Bricktop” Jackson. Mary was a sex worker who didn't put up with any nonsense or disrespect. Those that dared found themselves on the wrong side of her blade. Despite her murderous actions, we're willing to bet you might kinda like the gal, or at least, enjoy Alana's love for her. Tea of the Day: Lady GrayTheme Music by Brad FrankSources:Asbury, Herbert.

Martin ist ein guter Bekannter von mir. Durch eine Aneinanderreihung vieler Glücksfälle ist er noch am Leben, warum ich das erwähne!?Ende 2009 bekam er die Diagnose Krebs im Endstadium, die Ärzte gaben ihm da noch maximal 7 Tage. Doch Martin setzte sich immer wieder Ziele und hielt stand.Wie wir sehen, ist Martin noch da und hat einiges erlebt. So rede ich mit ihm ein wenig über sein Leben und Überleben. Plötzlich reden wir über die ein oder andere gute Hardcore Band (z.B.: Spider Crew & Punishable Act ) und sogar über Merauder .. also somit sogar schon wieder mehrfach über die Onkelz, der Faden reißt eben nicht ab.Hier gibts auch mal wieder ein wenig Musik auf die Ohren, danke dafür geht an Pascal von KB-Records und die Bonkers aus Rostock und an Martin von Bricktop aus Hamburg. Beide Bands haben Martin einen Song gewidmet und ihn somit bereits unsterblich gemacht.

Welcome to Season Four of Countermelody! My long-time listeners know a few things things about the podcast. First, the most important quality in a singer is not voice, but communicative skills. Second, I have posted episodes in the past on singers that I dub “voiceless wonders,” artists whose primary virtue is exactly that ability to convey the meaning of the words. Third, though the music I play is primarily opera and so-called classical music, I often explore genres that move outside of those boundaries. Fourth, from the very beginning of my podcasting career, I have made it a point to highlight the careers of artists of color as well as queer artists. Throughout this season of the podcast, I will also be focusing on great singers in their later years. All these aspects are in evidence in today's subject: Mabel Mercer (1900-1984), the doyenne of cabaret. Born to a teenage mother of Welsh heritage whose father was an itinerant African American musician, Mercer first pursued a career in British music hall. From there, she made her way to Paris, where she soon became a fixture at a nightclub run by her pal Bricktop (AKA Ada Smith). As WWII loomed on the horizon, she made her way, with the help of her friend (and possible lover) the wealthy and eccentric lesbian Joe Carstairs, to New York, where she soon established herself at the pinnacle of cabaret culture by virtue of her impeccable diction, intimacy of delivery, sense of story-telling, and unbounded repertoire of upwards of a thousand songs. Most of Mercer's recordings represent the artist well into her middle age, when her once beautiful soprano voice had become little more than a croak. And yet, perched regally on a chair at the Café Carlyle and other nightclub venues, she gave definitive performances of nearly every song she touched. The episode offers a hint of the interpretive depth displayed in repertoire ranging from the traditional Great American Songbook (especially the songs of Cole Porter) through Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. Guest artists heard include Kaye Ballard, Bobby Short, and Julie Wilson, as well as Bricktop and Madame Spivy, both nightclub hostesses and close friends of Mercer's who were celebrated performers themselves. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

For my second Queer Pride episode this month, I offer you a panoply of blues and other popular music sung by women of color over the past 100 years and over a wide range of the LGBTQ spectrum. The focus is on the queer and bisexual women of color who enlivened the Harlem blues scene in the 1920s, including the newly popular and celebrated Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, as well as other vital and iconoclastic singers of that era, including Bricktop, Lucille Bogan, Alberta Hunter, Ethel Waters, Victoria Spivey, Lucille Hegamin, and the fascinating Gladys Bentley. The net is further extended to include jazz (Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Dinah Washington), pop, rock ‘n' roll (Big Mama Thornton), gospel (Sister Rosetta Tharpe), cabaret (Mabel Mercer, Joséphine Baker), soul (Carolyn Franklin) and folk (Joan Armatrading, Meshell Ndegeocello, Toshi Reagon, and Laura Love). Of course in this episode the musical categories are as flexible as are the sexual and gender boundaries, so expect to see a lot of genre-hopping as well among these subversive, innovative, and pathbreaking women of color. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

Andy is one of the most talented musicians I know. Some people think of musical talent as a preternatural gift for shredding through neoclassical riffs on guitar or ripping through Chopin concertos as a pre-teen. In Andy’s case, this talent manifests itself as incredible taste and intuition for songwriting and audio production. When you hear a song written by Andy — whether it’s the, uh, powerviolence of Weekend Nachos or the alt rock throwback of Sourmouth — you know it’s an Andy song. Fortunately, Andy gets to share his gift with others not just with his own music but through his work as a producer and audio engineer at Bricktop Recording. I didn’t expect to make ill-founded quantum mechanics analogies with Andy in this conversation about songwriting, but that’s what happened.

After last week's dive into the story of "Bricktop," we take a look into the definition of a serial killer and a few of the world's most notorious female serial killers. *Note: Though we may make light, the stories are serious and could be triggering for some.

Mary Jane "Bricktop" Jackson considered a serial killer and nicknamed "the Scourge of Gallatin Street."

TheatreWorks has selected two dynamic Bay Area actors to play the titular duo: Sister Rosetta & Marie Knight—Michelle E. Jordan and Marissa Rudd. Ms. Jordan, our guest this morning, is a musical icon and 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sister Rosetta Tharpe in TheatreWorks: Rosetta and Marie (with Marissa Rudd as Marie). Rosetta and Marie is up March 6-31 at the Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Rd., in Palo Alto. Jordan, a TheatreWorks veteran, received a Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award for her performance in TheatreWorks’ Dreamgirls. She has also been seen at TheatreWorks in It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues, Crowns, Go Down Garvey, Hi-Hat Hattie!, Shakin’ the Mess Outta Misery, and Ain’t Misbehavin’. She also performed in Blues in the Night with Maurice Hines and Freda Payne at the Post Street Theatre and Bricktop at the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, and serves as the choir director of East Bay Church of Religious Science.

Mission encre noire Tome 22 Chapitre 270. Je vous présente mes meilleurs voeux pour l'année 2018. Janvier débute avec ce qui va sans doute devenir un classique du polar: L'année du Lion de Deon Meyer paru en 2017 aux éditions du Seuil. Écrit en afrikaans et en anglais, le roman, traduit par Catherine Du Toit et Marie-Caroline Aubert se situe en Afrique du sud entre le désert du Karoo et le fleuve Orange. Nicolas (le narrateur) fait le récit de l'assassinat de son père, Willem Storm. Ils comptent parmi les rares survivant d'une fièvre qui a décimé 95 % de la population mondiale. La catastrophe a provoqué de nombreuses réaction en chaîne. Chez les humains, c'est la loi de la jungle. Pourtant Willem Storm est convaincu de pouvoir bâtir un monde meilleur avec les rescapés de ce cataclysme. Malgré que la prose soit aussi rêche et aride que la majesté du paysage, l'espoir demeure. La vision de Deon Meyer n'est pas désespérée, les communautés cherchent à se reconstruire. Il y beaucoup d'humanité dans cet ambitieux projet, qui se traduit par un esprit de résistance et de solidarité. L'année du Lion est un classique en devenir, qui a l'image du continent africain, (et de l'Afrique du sud en particulier) rugit de rage et de fureur. C'est un livre qu'on ne peut pas lâcher aussi facilement. Il finira bien par trouver le chemin de votre bibliothèque, à côté de La route de Cormac McCarthy, mais pas pour les mêmes raisons. Extrait: « Je revois ces événements avec du recul. L'importance et la signification de cette scène ne me frapperont que des années plus tard. Ce jour-là, je me rendais déjà compte que c'était un moment historique, autant qu'un gosse de treize ans, affamé de compagnie, de camarades de son âge, pouvait le ressentir. Je ne réaliserais que plus tard le véritable poids du moment et des personnes impliquées. Le car de luxe est déjà garé au milieu de la rue quand j'arrive. Deux hommes descendent et avancent vers Père et Hennie As, Domingo, Mélinda Swanevelder, Béryl et les seize enfants qui les attendent dans Proteastraat. Le premier homme est âgé, il a les cheveux blancs et porte une toge blanche avec une sorte de châle doré et un chapeau bizarre. Dans sa main droite il tient une houlette en bois argenté. De la gauche, il s'appuie sur le bras d'un homme plus jeune, très impressionnant, plus grand que tous les autres et large de poitrine. Voilà ce que j'observe, ce que j'essaie de marquer dans ma mémoire pour pouvoir le raconter un jour, pour pouvoir dire que j'étais présent, que j'ai participé à cet événement. » New Moon, Café de nuit joyeux de David Dufresne paru en 2017 aux éditions du Seuil. Paris la nuit c'est fini/Paris va crever d'ennui/Paris se meurt rendez lui/Arletty. Et si Pigalle nous était conté ? C'est le pari réussi de David Dufresne. L'auteur se retourne sur son passé, il arrive dans le quartier le plus chaud de Paris en 1988, il a 20 ans. Le New Moon est le plus grand des petits clubs rock parisiens. On y croise régulièrement la crème de la scène du rock alternatif, la Mano Negra en tête. 106 m2 de bonheur et d'énergie pure qui dissimule une histoire riche et palpitante à l'image du quartier. Ouvert en 1896 sous le nom de La feuille de vigne, l'endroit changera plusieurs fois de nom et de style. David Dufresne nous offre un livre déroutant au croisement du polar, du docu/fiction et du récit historique. Excellement bien documenté, vous ne perdrez rien de l'enquête autour du lieu mythique. Vous y croiserez Manu Chao en terrasse du New Moon, Virginie Despente, son premier manuscrit sous le bras, Cole Porter, Degas, Manet...et si une nouvelle forme de journalisme était né ? Depuis 2004, le New Moon a rendu les armes à l'embourgeoisement, une épicerie bio patronne désormais sur la rue Pigalle.  Extrait: « Le Bricktop's fut le premier des cabarets de Pigalle à servir le whisky à table - jusqu'ici, on ne le faisait qu'au bar, il fallait se déplacer pour cette vulgaire boisson. La maîtresse des lieux y perdait le chic du champagne exclusif, mais elle y gagnait les écrivains. Et ils allaient se précipiter. La première fois que John Steinbeck était venu,ça avait mal commencé. Il avait dû envoyer un taxi de roses à Brick pour s'excuser de son comportement (Il ajoutera plus tard à ses fleurs ces mots: « Brick, chaque fois que tu chantes «Embraceable You», tu m'enlèves vingt ans de ma vie d'homme »). Hemingway, aussi, traînait dans les parages ; comme F. Scott Fitzgerald qui met en scène un de ses héros de Retour à Babylone devant le Bricktop's, où «il avait passé tant de temps et dépensé tant d'argent».» Le retour du Gang d'Edward Abbey paru en 2017 aux éditions Gallmeister dans la collection Nature Writing. Le Gang de la clé à molette est un livre culte. Un best seller des éditions Gallmeister paru en 2013 et illustré par Crumb. Edward Abbey, décédé en 1989, a été inhumé dans le désert, un lieu encore tenu secret aujourd'hui. Le retour du Gang est la touche finale d'une oeuvre riche, qui relève le défi de présenter le combat écologiste de l'auteur. Le gang de la clé à molette est composé de quatre personnages: de Bonnie Abbzug compagne du Doc Sarvis, médecin dans la vie, de Seldom Smith, un membre de l'église mormone et George Hayduke, vétéran du Vietnam, passionné d'armes à feu, vivant en renégat dans une grotte dans le désert avec pour seul compagnon, un féroce crotale. C'est lui qui se charge de remobiliser la troupe contre l'invasion de l'excavateur géant: Goliath. Pour sauver les déserts de l'ouest américain tous les moyens sont bons. L'auteur publie ici, un manifeste de résistance, drôle et cynique. Edward Abbey se place déjà comme une influence majeure et son style plutôt explosif est à découvrir. Extrait: « Silence. Hayducke crache par terre. Il lève les yeux et les plante dans ceux de Seldom, l'air incapable de comprendre ou de croire ou même d'entendre clairement ce que son vieux pote lui dit. Tout ce que Seldom voit du regard d'hayducke sont ces deux petits points rouges, comme les diodes de mise sous tension d'une mystérieuse machine nocturne. Comme deux tisons luisant dans un feu qui se meurt. Comme...comme les faibles feux arrières d'un train fou qui s'en va, au loin, pour ne jamais revenir. Un simple souffle de réalité peut éteindre, pour toujours, d'un moment à l'autre, ces deux rubis d'espoir. » Naissance d'une jungle de Nancy Huston paru en 2017 aux éditions de l'Aube collection Le Un en livre. Le Un est un journal d'enquête et d'idées, indépendant, sans publicité qui rassemble sous la direction de l'écrivain Éric Fottorino, chaque semaine des écrivains, artistes, journaliste et des chercheurs, pour éclairer sur un thème en particulier lié à l'actualité. Vous connaissez sans doute déjà la plume parfois acérée de l'écrivaine. Ses prises de positions, au risque de déplaire, permettent le plus souvent d'insuffler une nouvelle dynamique dans les débats. Nancy Huston tire le signal d'alarme sur les dérives de la pensée dominante, primitive, qui a pris le pouvoir un peu partout et particulièrement aux USA. On appelle cela le règne de la jungle. Au fil de la lecture des cinq textes disponibles dans cet ouvrage, l'autrice interroge notre capacité à nous décentrer, pour si possible déplacer notre point de vue sur le monde. Extrait: « Aujourd'hui, leur prolixité m'épuise. Tant d'arrogance, tant d'agressivité! Comment font-ils pour ne pas entendre leur propre morgue? Regardez ceux qui, derrière les guichets des maries, postes et administrations, accueillent les citoyens: c'était bien la peine de faire la Révolution pour se voir encore traité ainsi de haut! Véritablement elle est guindée cette langue française, et induit des attitudes guindées. »

When Dorothy Sterling wrote her book about nineteenth-century black women in America, she stated in the introduction that the book was not a definitive history of black women but a sourcebook to lead others to “compile a complete history.” And while a complete history of black women has not yet been written, T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting has added to the history of black women in Bricktop's Paris: African American Women in Paris Between the Two World Wars and The Autobiography of Ada Bricktop Smith, or Miss Baker Regrets (SUNY Press, 2015). Sharpley-Whiting does two things with this book; she appeals to the scholar and the mystery reader. The first part of the book captures the multi-life history of twenty-five African American women who lived in Paris as artists, singers, club owners, poets, and writers. Sharpley-Whiting's stories illustrate how travel and place were transformative for black women despite the length of their stay in Paris. She says, “the book is a moment in time.” In this book, we get to go into that world, a world where they were honored and treated not by the color of their skin, but by their talents. We get to meet many different women along the way. Some stayed for a long time, while others could only stay several months before returning back to the United States. By the end of the 1930s, their time was over. The second part of Bricktop's Paris is a noir mystery, titled The Autobiography of Ada Bricktop Smith, or Miss Baker Regrets. Sharpley-Whiting illuminates the lines of fact and fiction in the autobiography of Ada Bricktop Smith. The novel explores the black and feminine perspective of image, self-possession, and self-exhibition. The novel takes us to Paris with black American women in salons and saloons crossing boundaries with purpose, and discovering they are the wealth of the nation. Josie Baker and Bricktop what are they up to? And who did it? Bricktop's Paris was an American Library in Paris Book Award Long List selection and a Choice 2015 Outstanding Academic Title. Sharpley-Whiting is the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Distinguished Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies and French at Vanderbilt University where she also chairs African American and Diaspora Studies and directs the Callie House Center for the Study of Global Black Cultures and Politics. She publishes an academic murder mystery series under the nom de plume Tracy Whiting. She also teaches a course on Detective Fiction at Vanderbilt. The first novel, an academic cozy-thriller set in the South of France with Professor Havilah Gaie, is titled The 13thFellow: A Mystery in Provence (BooksbNimble Press, May 2015). She has completed the second mystery in this series, Paris A-Go-Go (Books nimble Press, forthcoming 2016), and is currently at-work on a scholarly volume, A Quartet in Four French Movements: A Voodoo Queen, A French Romantic, a Poet, and an African Ethnologist, as well as a family history.

Sharpley-Whiting's stories illustrate how travel and place were transformative for black women despite the length of their stay in Paris. She says, “the book is a moment in time.” In this book, we get to go into that world, a world where they were honored and treated not by the color of their skin, but by their talents. We get to meet many different women along the way. Some stayed for a long time, while others could only stay several months before returning back to the United States. By the end of the 1930s, their time was over. The second part of Bricktop's Paris is a noir mystery, titled The Autobiography of Ada Bricktop Smith, or Miss Baker Regrets. Sharpley-Whiting illuminates the lines of fact and fiction in the autobiography of Ada Bricktop Smith. The novel explores the black and feminine perspective of image, self-possession, and self-exhibition. The novel takes us to Paris with black American women in salons and saloons crossing boundaries with purpose, and discovering they are the wealth of the nation. Josie Baker and Bricktop what are they up to? And who did it? Bricktop's Paris was an American Library in Paris Book Award Long List selection and a Choice 2015 Outstanding Academic Title. Sharpley-Whiting is the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Distinguished Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies and French at Vanderbilt University where she also chairs African American and Diaspora Studies and directs the Callie House Center for the Study of Global Black Cultures and Politics. She publishes an academic murder mystery series under the nom de plume Tracy Whiting. She also teaches a course on Detective Fiction at Vanderbilt.

When Dorothy Sterling wrote her book about nineteenth-century black women in America, she stated in the introduction that the book was not a definitive history of black women but a sourcebook to lead others to “compile a complete history.” And while a complete history of black women has not yet been written, T.
