Podcasts about King Oliver

Take a trip with us to the most revolutionary decade in jazz (1923-1933), when a young Louis Armstrong was creating a new improvisational vocabulary in real-time. This isn't the “Wonderful World” Satchmo most know, but the young gunner whose genius trumpet solos on “West End Blues” and “Tight Like This” were toppling trumpet kings. We break down Pops' evolution from King Oliver's second to pioneering frontman, explore his inventive scat singing (supposedly born when he dropped his lyric sheet), and trace how his massive popularity caught the attention of Chicago gangsters – careful now! From his recordings with Earl “Fatha” Hines to “Black and Blue” – the first jazz song addressing racism – hear exactly why we say there would be no jazz without Louis Armstrong.Link to Spotify PlaylistABOUT OPEN STUDIO------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As the premier online jazz education platform, with an ever-expanding course library and 20,000+ members, Open Studio (OS) has everything you need to excel and thrive on your jazz journey.Featuring everything from beginner to advanced lessons, engaging courses from A-list instructors, step-by-step curriculum, real-time classes and a thriving and incredibly supportive community, OS is the perfect platform to level up your jazz playing, whether you're a total beginner, or an advanced pro-level improvisor.Try OS Membership today! → https://osjazz.link/about

Renowned author and screenwriter Walter Mosley joins Aaron Philip Clark to discuss his recent book, BEEN WRONG SO LONG IT FEELS LIKE RIGHT, the third novel in the King Oliver series. The pair talks about the array of characters that populate Mosley's fiction, such as Easy Rawlins and Mouse, explores what makes Joe Oliver a hero, and learns about Mosley's upcoming projects.

Renowned author and screenwriter Walter Mosley joins Aaron Philip Clark to discuss his recent book, BEEN WRONG SO LONG IT FEELS LIKE RIGHT, the third novel in the King Oliver series. The pair talks about the array of characters that populate Mosley's fiction, such as Easy Rawlins and Mouse, explores what makes Joe Oliver a hero, and learns about Mosley's upcoming projects.

The acclaimed American writer Walter Mosley has a new King Oliver book out: Been Wrong So Long It Feels Like Right, a novel that follows Oliver's search for both a missing woman and his estranged father who was released from prison nine years ago. But before getting to his latest mystery, I couldn't resist asking Mosley to compare his most famous fictional character, Easy Rawlins, with King Oliver. Mosley explains how Oliver, a contemporary detective in New York, faces different, perhaps less racialized challenges than Rawlins did in 1940s Los Angeles. We then moved onto to Mosley's observations about crime and punishment in white and black America as well as the importance of jazz music in his writing.Here are the five KEEN ON takeaways from this conversation with Walter Mosley:* The difference between his two detective characters reflects changing times in America: Easy Rawlins operates in a strictly black-and-white 1940s Los Angeles where his race defines everything, while Joe King Oliver works in contemporary New York where racial boundaries are more fluid, even if racism still exists.* Mosley's writing process is remarkably disciplined and productive (or so he says) - he writes three hours every day without fail, enabling him to complete two to three books annually while also working on television and film projects.* The character Joe King Oliver was named after the famous jazz musician - this reflects both the musical qualities Mosley sees in writing and the character's connection to his fictional missing father, who named him after the jazz great who mentored Louis Armstrong.* Been Wrong So Long It Feels Like Right interweaves two plots: a case involving a runaway wife and a personal quest to find Oliver's estranged father who was secretly released from prison nine years ago, exploring themes of family reconciliation.* Growing up as an only child with a Jewish mother and African-American father influenced Mosley's perspective on American identity - though he sees such multicultural backgrounds as common to many Americans' experiences rather than unique to his situation.Walter Mosley is one of America's most celebrated and beloved writers. His books have won numerous awards and have been translated into more than twenty languages. Mosley is the author of the acclaimed Easy Rawlins series of mysteries, including national bestsellers Cinnamon Kiss, Little Scarlet, and Bad Boy Brawly Brown; the Fearless Jones series, including Fearless Jones, Fear Itself, and Fear of the Dark; the novels Blue Light and RL's Dream; and two collections of stories featuring Socrates Fortlow, Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned, for which he received the Anisfield-Wolf Award, and Walkin' the Dog. He lives in New York City.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

First broadcast on June 24, 1962. In a nightclub in Chicago, at two in the morning and after a performance, Louis Armstrong talks about his music stylings. Notes are good to learn the tune, says Armstrong, but it's all about the phrasing. Armstrong explained, it's up to you to express yourself. Armstrong shared the one piece of advice that had always stuck with him. King Oliver told Armstrong not to worry about the notes but rather to put some lead into the song.

In 1964, Louis Armstrong knocked the Beatles off the top of the charts with his recording of “Hello, Dolly!” becoming, at age 62, the oldest artist to ever hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Sixty years later, Louis Armstrong remains a beloved cultural figure, his oft-imitated voice still instantly recognizable. But Armstrong is more than a source of levity — his artistry and innovations when he made his first recordings a century ago in 1923 set the template for the modern pop star. On this centennial episode, hear Armstrong as you've never heard him: a defiant, pathbreaking musician whose voice resonates in every hit record.  Songs Discussed Louis Armstrong - Hello, Dolly!

Al di là del mito, un percorso di Claudio Sessa su storia e attualità del New Orleans sound, alle radici della grande musica afroamericana. Sfileranno nomi noti e meno noti della saga di New Orleans, che ha dato un contributo fondamentale alla straordinaria avventura del jazz: Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke, Johnny Dodds, Kid Ory, Sam Morgan, Oscar Celestin e molti altri.

Two Harrys to start us off. Parry- Trust and Parry and James with Memphis Blues. Henry Allen and his Orchestra- Dinah Lou. Allen was one of the major trumpeters of the Swing era and played with King Oliver, Fletcher Henderson, Coleman Hawkins and Louis Armstrong. Count Basie and his Kansas City seven- Lester Leaps in. Lester Young being the Lester. The group released six versions of the song between 1939- 1948. Sidney Bechet and his New Orleans Feetwarmers- Stormy Jones, Mugsy Spanier and his Ragtime Band- That Da, Da Strain. Robert Earl- If you love me. A popular tenor in the 1950s. His son, also Robert Earl ,is the founder of Planet Holywood restaurants. Orcestration is by Wally Stott. Musical director of Philips Records at the time.  Stott was an arranger, composer and conductor. Worked with Shirley Bassey, Noel Coward, Dusty Springfield and Scott Walker, amongst others. As well as composing Film and T.V scores- from Watership Down to the music for the TV series Dallas. In 1970 Stott undertook gender reassignment surgery and lived the rest of her life as Angela Morely. She went on to have highly succesful career in the US. Amazing story and life. Perfect for Forgotten Songs. The luck of the Irish next, Jack Daly- When the poppies bloom again. He ran out of luck I'm afraid. Could only take about a minute of his warbling! Much beter is- Sydney MacEwan and She moved through the fair. MacEwan was an ordained priest born in Glasgow in 1908. He started his recording career in 1934 and work extensively on the BBC. He did many world tours. Very popular in his day.  A favourite from George Formby- In a little Wigan Garden.

Freddie Keppard was king before King Oliver and he fortunately recorded quite a bit in Chicago in the 1920's, although many items are up for debate . . Here he is definitely with his own Jazz Cardinals, Cookie's Gingersnaps and Jimmy Bertrand. Somewhat less certain are the records with Jimmy Blythe, Sarah Martin and the Kansas City Stompers, although all have great jazz regardless! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support

Long before Wynton Marsalis arrived in the plush halls of Lincoln Center, jazz was often performed in far more dangerous venues. Greats like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday found their footing on the stages of America's most notorious vice districts, where big players in the mob, such as Al Capone and Mickey Cohen, called the shots. In his new book, Dangerous Rhythms, journalist T. J. English explores the complexities of this corner of the underworld, where venues like the Cotton Club explicitly upheld the racial dynamics of Jim Crow America while simultaneously providing Black musicians with otherwise unavailable opportunities. But the emerging civil rights movement disrupted this “glorified plantation system,” as English calls it, just as it eventually upended both the music and the mob.Go beyond the episode:T. J.

Jazz Anthology di lun 26/07/21

Un tuffo nel jazz delle origini con l'accento messo sulla cornetta, molto utilizzato all'epoca ma che poi perse smalto a favore della tromba.I due cornettisti considerati in questa serie di Claudio Sessa, King Oliver e Freddie Keppard, furono tra i protagonisti di quella preistoria del jazz avvolta ancora in parte nella leggenda. Entrambi erano eredi di quel Buddy Bolden, loro collega di strumento, che molti considerano come l'iniziatore del jazz.Joe Oliver (1885-1938), noto in seguito come “King”, venne alla ribalta a New Orleans ma poi si trasferì a Chicago, come moltissimi musicisti di colore, al momento della chiusura nel 1917 di Storyville, il quartiere a luci rosse della città del delta. Il successo lo ottenne con la King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band per la quale ebbe l'intuizione di chiamare come secondo cornettista un tale Louis Armstrong. Nel 1926 si rilanciò con i Savannah Syncopators, l'ultima sua orchestra di grido. La Grande Depressione, un jazz che ormai aveva sviluppato altri e più moderni stili, nonché motivi di salute contribuirono al suo declino e cadde nell'oblio.Freddie Keppard (1890-1933) era anche lui un creolo di New Orleans, grande rivale di King Olvier. Insieme a Bill Johnson diede vita alla Original Creole Orchestra, che suonava quella musica che di lì a poco sarebbe diventata popolare con l'appellativo di jazz. Sfumata l'occasione di passare alla storia per l'incisione del primo disco di jazz dopo aver rifiutato un'offerta dell'etichetta Victor, nel 1917 Keppard si trasferì pure lui a Chicago. Guidò varie orchestre tra cui i Jazz Cardinals e collaborò con gente quale Jimmy Noone e Johnny Dodds. Morì, anche lui dimenticato, a soli 43 anni.

We're beginning our Greco-Roman triptych with some old-school, familiar flavor: the tragic myth of Oedipus, King of Thebes. Focusing primarily on the plays of Sophocles as source material, Ashley takes us through this wildly histrionic tale from Ancient Greece as we explore the classic struggle between fate and free will. For dessert, we wrap things up by finding examples of this myth's continued influence on contemporary culture.

August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is getting an amazing production right now at the Writers Theatre in Chicago , directed by Ron OJ Parson and starring Tony-nominee Felicia P. Fields in the title role, and the four outstanding actors who play her musicians -- David Alan Anderson as Toledo, Kelvin Roston, Jr. as Levee, A.C. Smith as Slow Drag, and Alfred H. Wilson as Cutler (pictured above, left to right) -- sat down for a roundtable discussion about the roles they play; the extraordinary bond they've forged; comparisons to Shakespeare; dialogue as music and words turned into poetry; the familiarity of the characters; shout-outs to King Oliver and Buddy Bolden; strong communities; August Wilson's incredible legacy, the shape of his ten-play Pittsburgh Cycle, and his ability to turn innate speech into poetry and familiar characters into titans. A one an' a two…y'all know what to do… (Length 22:01) Photos by Michael Brosilow. Courtesy of Writers Theatre. The post ‘Ma Rainey's' Band appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
