Jazz. [videorecording] / by Burns, Ken,1953-(CARDINAL)204062;
Commentary :Michael Cuscuna, Wynton Marsalis, Abbey Lincoln, Arvell Shaw, Gary Giddens, Jackie McLean, Lester Bowie, Nat Hentoff, Branford Marsalis, Gene Lees, Stanley Crouch, Gerald Early, Joshua Redman, Herbie Hancock, George Wein, Matt Glaser, Phoebe Jacobs, Mercedes Ellington, Msgr. John Sanders, Lorraine Gordon, Joe Lovano, Cassandra Wilson ; narrated by Keith David.In the 1960s, jazz fragments into the avant-garde and many divided schools of thought. Many jazz musicians like Dexter Gordon are forced to leave America in search of work while others use the music as a form of social protest. Max Roach, Charles Mingus, and Archie Shepp make overtly political musical statements. John Coltrane appeals to a broad audience before his untimely death. Saxophonist Stan Getz helps boost a craze for bossa nova music, but in the early 1970s, jazz founders Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington pass away. Miles Davis leads a movement of jazz musicians who incorporate elements of rock and soul into their music and "fusion" wins listeners. By the mid-1980s, jazz begins to bounce back led by Wynton Marsalis and a new generation of musicians. Now as it approaches its centennial, jazz is still alive, still changing and still swinging.DVD.

The uncrowned king of swing : Fletcher Henderson and big band jazz / by Magee, Jeffrey,1961-(CARDINAL)367738;
"Henderson's arrangements for Benny Goodman": pages 245-271.Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-300), discography (pages 301-303), and index.Out of the jazz tradition -- A new Negro from the old South -- The "Paul Whiteman of the race" -- Inside the strain : the advent of Don Redman -- A New Orleans trumpeter in a New York band -- A paradox of the race? -- Beyond the ballroom -- Connie's Inn orchestra -- Playing in the mud -- Building the kingdom of swing -- Never say "Never again.""If Benny Goodman was the "King of Swing," then Fletcher Henderson was the power behind the throne. Not only did Henderson arrange the music that powered Goodman's meteoric rise, he also helped launch the careers of Louis Armstrong and Coleman Hawkins, among others. Now Jeffrey Magee offers an account of this pivotal bandleader, throwing new light on the emergence of modern jazz and the world that created it." "Drawing on an unprecedented combination of sources, including sound recordings, obscure stock arrangements, and hundreds of scores that have been available only since Goodman's death, Magee illuminates Henderson's musical output, from his early work as a New York bandleader, to his pivotal role in building the Kingdom of Swing. He shows how Henderson, standing at the forefront of the New York jazz scene during the 1920s and '30s, assembled the era's best musicians, simultaneously preserving jazz's distinctiveness and performing popular dance music that reached a wide audience." "Magee reveals how, in Henderson's largely segregated musical world, black and white musicians worked together to establish jazz, how Henderson's style rose out of collaborations with many key players, how these players deftly combined improvised and written music, and how their work negotiated artistic and commercial impulses. And we see how, in the depths of the Depression, record producer John Hammond brought together Henderson and Goodman, a fortuitous collaboration that changed the face of American music." "Whether placing Henderson's life in the context of the Great Migration or the Harlem Renaissance or describing how the savvy use of network radio made the Henderson-Goodman style a national standard, Jeffrey Magee brings to life a monumental musician who helped to shape an era."--BOOK JACKET.
