The Evolution of Jazz; 37; Hot Jazz, Part One
- Transcript
The evolution of jazz, a survey of an American art form from Scott Joplin to Lenny Tristano. The evolution of jazz is a tape recorded feature presented under the auspices of Northeastern University by the Lowell Institute Cooperative Broadcasting Council. Matt Hentoff, associate editor of Downbeat Magazine, discusses the growth of jazz from its roots in Europe and Africa and considers the musical as well as the sociological forces
that shaped it. Mr. Hentoff. Last week's lecture concluded with an example of contemporary Swedish jazz. Now it is true that almost from its very beginning, certainly since 1920, American jazz has influenced musicians in other countries. This influence has never been so pervasive as within the past four or five years. In other words, particularly the influence of our contemporary jazz man. And Sweden, especially, has produced jazz man of quite imposing stature. Here for example, here's the Swedish equivalent of the Jerry Mulligan quartet, with baritone saxist Les Goulines, a trombone in place of Chet Baker's trumpet, a trombone played by Aca Piersen, Simon Bram on drums, on bass rather, and Jack Noren drums. They call this, and tribute to Mulligan's piano-less idea, holiday for piano.
