Băng đảng Mafia : Những ông hoàng bảo trợ cho dòng nhạc Jazz Mỹ ?

TẠP CHÍ XÃ HỘI

Năm 1980, nhà xã hội học người Mỹ Ronald L. Morris, trong tác phẩm đề tựa « Wait until Dark: Jazz and Underworld » (tạm dịch là Khi màn đêm buông xuống : Jazz và Thế giới ngầm), từng khẳng định nhạc Jazz trong giai đoạn Lệnh cấm (1920-1933) sẽ không còn là Jazz nếu không có sự che chở của các băng đảng tội phạm. Theo ông, Jazz chịu rất nhiều ảnh hưởng từ mafia. Storyville, New Orleans : Nền tảng đầu tiên của mối liên hệ Jazz - Mafia Mối liên hệ này được hình thành tại Storyville, New Orleans vào cuối thế kỷ XIX. Đó là thời điểm làn sóng di cư người Ý diễn ra mạnh mẽ : Trong vòng 20 năm, 1880 – 1900, hơn 650 ngàn người Ý và Sicilia đổ vào nước Mỹ, quốc gia vừa thoát khỏi cảnh Nội Chiến. Họ băng Đại Tây Dương, mơ về một nước Mỹ thịnh vượng và cởi mở. Không chỉ có người Ý, trên các cầu cảng còn có người Ireland, và hàng triệu di dân đến từ Đông Âu, phần lớn là người Do Thái. Họ chạy trốn cảnh nghèo đói, thoát cảnh chiến tranh hay sự truy bức. Nhưng giấc mộng đó nhanh chóng tan vỡ khi phải đối mặt với thực tế nghiệt ngã : Nạn kỳ thị chủng tộc và chủ nghĩa bản địa. Bị hắt hủi, bị gạt ra bên lề xã hội, thất nghiệp, không được học hành, những di dân gốc Ý, Do Thái hay châu Phi sống chen chúc trong những khu phố nghèo tại các thành phố cảng lớn như Lower East Side ở New York hay như khu Vieux-Carré tại New Orleans. Các băng đảng tội phạm lần lượt xuất hiện : Mano nera, mafia, cosa nostra…. Không được tiếp cận các ngành kinh doanh hợp pháp, những nhóm tội phạm này mở rộng các hoạt động ngầm về đêm, thâu tóm các lĩnh vực giải trí và sân khấu, giang tay đón nhận những người nghệ sĩ lang thang, đặt nên nền tảng đầu tiên cho mối liên hệ giữa Jazz và Mafia trong nhiều thập niên sau đó của thế kỷ XX. Nhạc sĩ dương cầm Earl Hines, từng giải thích : « Các thành viên mafia đã nhanh chóng tìm thấy trong âm nhạc một lớp vỏ bọc tuyệt vời cho những mánh lới được thực hiện trong hậu trường, từ các trò cờ bạc trái phép, buôn thuốc phiện, cho đến cả mãi dâm. » Steven Jezo – Vannier, tác giả tập sách « Music Connection. Les parrains de la musique américaine au XXè siècle » (tạm dịch là Kết nối âm nhạc. Những người bảo trợ cho âm nhạc Mỹ thế kỷ XX), cho biết, vào năm 1902, người ta ước tính ở Storyville, đã có đến 85 sàn nhảy, gần 800 quán rượu và 230 nhà chứa, nơi hoạt động của khoảng 1.500 gái làng chơi. Ba phần tư các chủ sở hữu những cơ sở này đều là trùm các băng đảng với những cái tên Joe Segretta, Henry Matranga, Peter Ciacco hay Pete Lala, với câu lạc bộ nổi tiếng Big 25, sàn diễn đầu tiên của Joe Oliver – người sau này trở thành King Oliver. Đó cũng là nơi xuất thân của nhiều tên tuổi khác trong làng nhạc Jazz như Jelly Roll Morton, Kid Ory, Buddy Bolden, Louis Amstrong hay Cab Calloway… 1920 : Thời điểm quyết định cho cuộc hội ngộ Jazz - Mafia Theo nhà sử học Ronald L. Morris, cuộc hội ngộ mang tính quyết định giữa giới nhạc sĩ Jazz và Mafia là vào những năm 1920. Đây là thời điểm chính quyền tổng thống Woodrow Wilson ban hành Lệnh Cấm Rượu (1920-1933), bị cáo buộc là nguồn cội của mọi tệ nạn xã hội, khiến các quán rượu và tụ điểm hội hè bị đóng cửa, kết thúc thời kỳ hoàng kim một thế hệ Mafia tại New Orleans. Các nhóm tội phạm cùng những người chơi nhạc Jazz rời Storyville đi về phía bắc đến New York, Chicago, Kansas City… Họ sắp xếp lại hoạt động về đêm dọc theo các tuyến đường buôn rượu với sự tiếp tay của giới chức địa phương, và nhiều nghị sĩ Mỹ. Một thế hệ mới các ông trùm băng đảng gốc Ý, Do Thái hay Ireland ra đời, trong số này phải kể đến Al Capone, Alcatraz hay Dutch Schulz…    Đam mê mãnh liệt nhạc Jazz cùng với sự táo bạo trong cách tổ chức và quản lý thế giới ngầm, thế hệ tội phạm mới này đã tái hiện các đêm nhạc với những câu lạc bộ tiện nghi, vui nhộn hơn, mở cửa cho tất cả các thành phần, và do vậy, đáp ứng nhu cầu hưởng thụ mới của thời kỳ hậu chiến. Tại các cơ sở mới này, nhạc cũ lỗi thời nhường chỗ cho Jazz thống trị với sự xuất hiện của những nhạc sĩ trẻ tài năng : Sydney Bechet, Bessie Smith, Earl Hines, Duke Ellington… Trong một chương trình trên đài France Culture (15/05/2024), Jacques B. Hesse, nhạc sĩ đại vĩ cầm, dịch giả tập sách của nhà xã hội Ronald L. Morris, giải thích : « Luận điểm của Ronald L. Morris rất đơn giản. Ông ấy nói rằng giới tội phạm đã góp phần phát triển nhạc Jazz không chỉ bằng cách cung cấp cho các nhạc sĩ Mỹ sự bảo vệ về mặt xã hội và pháp lý, họ còn trả phí luật sư cho các vụ ly hôn, viện phí và tang lễ cho người thân của các nhạc sĩ. Họ còn giúp các nhạc sĩ mua xe trả góp, với mức hoàn trả từ 5 đến 7 đô la một tuần. » Jazz – Mafia : Mối quan hệ ràng buộc Steven Jazo-Vannier trong tập sách viết : « Mối liên kết lâu dài này được hung đúc, neo giữ sâu đậm cứ như một sự phụ thuộc lẫn nhau, hợp nhất hai mặt của một thế giới về đêm (…) ».  Jacques B. Hesse nhắc tiếp nhận định của Ronald L. Morris : « Bằng cách sử dụng các dàn nhạc có hợp đồng dài hạn từ một đến ba năm trong các hộp đêm và câu lạc bộ nhạc Jazz của mình, các băng đảng Mafia đã khuyến khích sự trưởng thành trong phong cách riêng của từng dàn nhạc, phân biệt phong cách của Duke Ellington với phong cách của Cab Calloway ». Thế nên, mới có giai thoại rằng, Al Capone, một trong những trùm Mafia lớn, đam mê âm nhạc, có cảm tình đặc biệt với một nhạc sĩ : Fats Waller. Trong tập sách Music Connection, Steven Jazo-Vannier thuật lại rằng, người nghệ sĩ dương cầm, kiêm ca sĩ này, một đêm, vào cuối buổi trình diễn, người ta bịt mắt ông dẫn đến một nơi bí mật. Khi đến nơi, ông thấy một cây đàn piano, họ đẩy ông về phía cây đàn rồi bảo « Hãy đến chơi đàn đi ! ». Ông không biết nơi đó là ở đâu, nhưng khi nghe tiếng cười giữa đám đông, ông nhận ra tiếng cười nổi tiếng của Al Capone, người đã chọn Fats Waller chơi nhạc cho đêm tiệc của mình với bạn bè và khách mời. Mafia cung cấp việc làm, và sự bảo vệ nhưng cũng rất chiếm hữu. Ca sĩ Lena Horne, bắt đầu ca hát rất sớm tại Cotton Club, với mức lương nghèo đói : 25 đô la một tuần. Hợp đồng trọn đời ngăn cản cô rời Cotton Club. Mọi nỗ lực thương lượng của cô kết thúc trong bạo lực. Để giải thoát cho cô, gia đình ra một quyết định táo bạo : Bắt cóc cô và bỏ trốn ngay giữa đêm cho đến tận Philadelphia. Tại đây, Lena Horne bắt đầu sự nghiệp mới và sau này trở thành nữ diễn viên người Mỹ gốc Phi đầu tiên ký hợp đồng với MGM. Sự im lặng Nếu như phần lớn giới nghệ sĩ gìn giữ một quy tắc bất thành văn : Ba Không – Không nghe, Không thấy, Không nói – để đổi lấy sự bảo trợ của Mafia, thì Frank Sinatra, nhân vật hiếm có công khai thừa nhận về mối liên hệ với tay trùm Lucky Luciano, đến từ cùng một làng với gia đình Sinatra ở Sicilia. Thế giới Jazz muôn sắc muôn mầu, vô vàn giai thoại. Danh sách các nhạc sĩ bị lệ thuộc vào Mafia dài vô tận, trong số này nhiều gương mặt điển hình từ Louis Amstrong, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, cho đến Billie Holiday hay Chet Baker… Các băng đảng Mafia không chỉ sở hữu các hộp đêm, phòng nhạc nổi tiếng, mà sau này họ còn trở thành các nhà tuyển dụng, nhà quản lý và sản xuất các nhạc sĩ, sở hữu họ, những người nhạc sĩ và âm nhạc của họ. Mafia thâm nhập vào mọi cấp độ sáng tạo âm nhạc có lợi nhuận. Đối với Earl Hines, trong những năm 1940 chẳng còn chút nghi ngờ, « các băng đảng đã làm cho ngành kinh doanh âm nhạc phát đạt » hơn bao giờ hết !   (Nguồn France Musique, France Culture)

Our final Oscar Levant Special Subject episode covers his contribution to two of the greatest MGM musicals, Vincente Minnelli's An American in Paris (1951) and The Band Wagon (1953), plus a 20th Century Fox curiosity, The I Don't Care Girl (1953) in which Mitzi Gaynor supposedly plays early 20th century vaudeville wild woman Eva Tanguay. Levant reaches new heights as a cinematic presence in An American in Paris, a film that, we argue, forms part of an "art life" Levant trilogy with Rhapsody in Blue and Humoresque, then flaunts some virtuoso piano performances in The I Don't Care Girl before succumbing to a heart attack prior to filming The Band Wagon. We give our general impressions of these must-see musicals while also trying to determine what quality Levant brings to An American in Paris, in particular, that it wouldn't have without him (besides self-loathing narcissism).

Jan's story is a testament to pursuing dreams at any age. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation!Jan Daley's Bio:Early Life and BeginningsJan Daley, born and raised in Inglewood, California, showed an early passion for music and performance. She began taking piano and singing lessons as a child and participated in various musical productions, setting the stage for a lifelong career in entertainment.Career BreakthroughDaley's big break came when she joined Bob Hope's USO tours, performing for American troops around the world. Her participation in these tours, including the famous "Bob Hope Christmas Shows" in Vietnam, brought her significant exposure and acclaim. She performed for over 100,000 GIs, earning a place in the hearts of many servicemen and women.Music CareerAdored for her singular magic of making what's classic contemporary again, Jan Daley is the most multi-talented and beautiful "Best Kept Secret" in entertainment today. The multi-talented singer-songwriter and actress is well known as one of the music industry's “best-kept secrets.” Taking the iconic sound of traditional Jazz and reinventing it for the modern audience to enjoy, her impact has been global. She hits the sweet spot between authentic, personal presentation with just the right amount of razzle-dazzle.Jan is a highly prolific artist, often juggling multiple projects at once. She's currently working on a “Best of” album which pulls a number of smash hits from her top-selling CDs. The versatile singer has already landed a Billboard No. 1 for her album “The Way of a Woman,” (penned by Jan herself, among 5 other songs), including tracks from her acclaimed “Where There's Hope” CD which was backed by the Les Brown Jr. Swinging Big Band and the Springfield Symphony. Not to mention featuring songs from her “Broadway Memories” CD that Broadway World Magazine raves, “Daley is a mastery of dynamic vocal range… she delivers these gems in a whole new & refreshing way… Be prepared to be enthralled!” Jan has a few surprises for us, similarly from her “Live” CD, with the beautiful “The Prayer” duet and to top it off, a few Christmas Songs from her Billboard's No. 4 "Home for Christmas" CD. Expect timeless tracks, beautiful duets, and an impressive vocal range in this show-stopping CD that shows us why Jan remains center stage in the traditional Jazz world. “The Best of Jan Daley CD” has something for everyone!Miss Daley made her major breakthrough in the music industry in 2017 and 2018. Working with legendary Motown producer and writer Michael B. Sutton, she put out her first EP “When Sunny Gets Blue.” It was a worldwide hit, landing her a top spot on the AOL Smooth Music Jazz Chart. She followed it up with Billboard No. 1, “The Way of a Woman” and months later “Home for Christmas,” which rode No. 4 on the Billboard Top 10 Jazz Charts for over two months — receiving rave reviews on radio stations across the world.Recent AccomplishmentsIn 2023, Jan Daley was inducted into The Women Songwriters Hall of Fame in Washington DC. Her song "Way of a Woman" became their official song for 2023, riding the Pop charts for three months alongside Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus. Her album, "Way of a Woman," became Billboard's No.1 album on the Traditional Jazz Chart. The dance remix of "Way of a Woman" went global, further cementing her international acclaim. Her new song, "The Girls in Love," caught fire and went No. 1 on the International Country, Roots, and Top 40 Chart, reaching an audience of over 4 million. Miss Daley set records as the No. 1 Independent Artist for 10 weeks. The country remix of "Way of a Woman" topped out at No. 24 on the Country Music chart.

#romanticism #podcast #mitchhampton #aesthetics In this, the second episode of my series on Isaiah Berlin and his scholarship and theories of Romanticism, I enter into a definition of Romanticism and begin my regular usage of visual film and textual examples.More on this special series, here:In this, the 22st episode of “All About Aesthetics” I will begin a miniseries on Isaiah Berlin's theory of Romanticism, taken from his important lectures in the 1960s at the National Gallery and elsewhere, and starting from his unequivocal assertion that Romanticism was “the single greatest shift in the consciousness of the West that has occurred”.I will inquire into the many effects of this shift, most of which are taken for granted and have been indispensable to forming the works of art, both popular and high, that we have most enjoyed or given importance. The series will include discussion of MGM musicals in Hollywood, melodrama films, novels, standup comedy, improvised jazz performances and much more.Learning Links related to this stream:   • Romanticism - Isaiah Berlin (1965)  https://isaiah-berlin.wolfson.ox.ac.u...#History #literature #movies #love #Hollywood #comedy #tragedy #freedom #liberty #classical #modern #postmodern #religion #spirituality #wordsworth #coleridge #keats #brightstar #lyricalballads #verse #isaiahberlin #russia #germany #France #uk #greatbritain #england #jazz #rock #africanamerican #existentialism #standupcomedy #tradition #thirtyyearswar #communism #fascism #ecology #environmentalism #intellectualhistory #culturalstudies #authenticity #sincerity #annaakhmatova #poetry #brontesisters #lordbyron #painting #caspardavidfriedrich #eletricguitar #powerballad #romance #feminism #democracy #liberalism #immanuelkant #rousseau #diderot #socialcontract #civility #manners #civillization #anarchism

I share the results from the Ghost in the Source Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge, revealing how the winners cracked the AES encryption using dictionary attacks, keyword harvesting and the cipher tool hidden in robots.txt. I discuss why the “assume breach” mentality just leaves the doors wide open, using examples from Kevin Mitnick's 1981 Pacific Bell infiltration to modern ransomware groups like Scattered Spider who breached MGM and Marks & Spencer through social engineering.I also cover practical tactics for using public Wi-Fi, data curation techniques, the invisible surveillance net including Stingray devices, and provide a deep dive into GrapheneOS covering user profiles, app sandboxing, network controls, sensor permissions, and the proper use of sandboxed Google Play services.In this week's episode:Ghost in the Source Capture the Flag challenge resultsThe military mindset problem in cybersecurityStrategic use of public Wi-Fi for account creation and privacy techniquesData curation tactics, and “Minimizing What Can Be Known”Invisible surveillance net and Stingray devicesGrapheneOS discussion on user profiles, app sandboxing, network controls, sensors permissions, sandboxed Google Play services, and security architectureMatrix Community RoomsMatrix Community Space - https://matrix.to/#/#psysecure:matrix.orgIndividual Room Links:https://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-general:matrix.orghttps://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-podcast:matrix.orghttps://matrix.to/#/#lockdown-intro:matrix.orgShow Links:Noam Chomsky on Internet Privacyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIWsTMcBrjQNoam Chomsky on Advertising - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfIwUlY44CMTryHackMe Platform - https://tryhackme.comHack the Box - https://hackthebox.comWired Article on DNC Stingray Surveillance - https://www.wired.com/story/2024-dnc-cell-site-simulator-phone-surveillance/IntelTechniques Data Removal Guide - https://inteltechniques.com/workbook.htmlOptery Data Broker Removal - https://optery.comGraphene OS - https://grapheneos.org“We're dragons.

**Discussion begins at 5:00**Before there was Henry Cavill, Tom Welling, Dean Cain, or Christopher Reeve… there was the OG Superman… George Reeves was an actor in the 1930s, who's burgeoning career stalled when he enlisted in WW2.  After the war he struggled to find parts, and in need of money, he begrudgingly accepted the role of Superman in the television series Adventures of Superman. The show was a hit, but led to type casting.  As a result, he had difficulty being taken seriously for other acting opportunities.  Off-screen, Reeves' personal life was tumultuous. He had a long-term affair with Toni Mannix, the wife of MGM executive Eddie Mannix, and later became engaged to a younger woman, Leonore Lemmon.  These overlapping relationships, combined with career frustrations and financial stress, ultimately led to him being found dead of a a gunshot wound to the head in his Beverly Hills home on June 16, 1959 – a home his former girlfriend Toni had bought him.  Was it suicide, as is listed as the official cause of death?  The death was never adequately investigated, and there were discrepancies in the scene.  Witnesses in the house gave conflicting stories, there were delays in calling the police, and multiple bullet holes were reportedly found in the room.  Additionally, Reeves' fingerprints were not found on the gun, and some friends claimed he was in good spirits in the days leading up to his death.  Who had motive?  Was it his fiancée - annoyed by his behavior that night and frustrated that he wasn't committed to getting married?  Was it his ex, Toni Mannix, who was heartbroken and had been stalking the engaged couple to the point that he had attempted to obtain a restraining order?  Or was it her husband, Eddie Mannix who was to blame? After all, he had mob and police connections as the VP of MGM, and was tired of hearing his wife obsess over George.  Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

We've already come close to proving that the named orchestra leader on this album probably doesn't exist. I discussed that mystery in Volume 199: Tea and Trumpets. But the man who wrote all of the tunes on this album most certainly existed. He wrote the scores for more than 30 stage and film musicals. Many of those songs have been performed and recorded by some of the most famous artists in history. So, get ready to hear memorable show tunes from one of the most memorable composers in history performed by a band leader that nobody has any memory of in Volume 235: Still Stanley.

In The Still Of The Night Cole Porter wrote the song "In The Still Of The Night" for the 1937 MGM film Rosalie. This film was an adaptation of the 1928 musical of the same name. The song was introduced by Nelson Eddy in the movie.  You're The Tops Cole Porter wrote the song "You're The Top" for his musical Anything Goes. This musical debuted on Broadway in 1934. "You're The Top" is one of the show's most well-known songs.  I've Got You Under My Skin Cole Porter wrote "I've Got You Under My Skin" for the 1936 musical film, Born to Dance. Virginia Bruce performed the song in the film.  Medley: C'est Magnifique-Paris Night Cole Porter wrote the song "C'est Magnifique" for his 1953 musical Can-Can.  Begin The Beguine Cole Porter wrote the song "Begin the Beguine" for the Broadway musical Jubilee.  The song was first introduced to the public in October 1935 by June Knight in the original production of the musical.  Anything Goes Cole Porter wrote the musical Anything Goes which premiered on Broadway in 1934.
