Jazz radio America / by Johnson, Aaron J.,1958-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-293) and index.Preface -- Introduction -- Part I, Jazz on commercial radio: Jazz here and jazz there : jazz rides the omnibus ; Independent contractors : jazz shows outside the format ; Jazz around the clock : jazz as a radio format -- Part II, Jazz on noncommercial radio: Paradise found, paradise lost : the rise and fall of jazz on noncommercial radio ; Don't get too far out : programming jazz on noncommercial radio ; Jazz is for everybody : missions, precursors, models, and ownership -- Postscript: Jazz radio present and future."Once a lively presence on radio, jazz now finds itself relegated to satellite broadcasters and low-watt stations at the edge of the dial. Aaron J. Johnson examines jazz radio from the advent of Black radio in 1948 to its near extinction from the commercial dial after 1980. Even in jazz's heyday, programmers and DJs excluded many styles and artists, and Johnson delves into how the politics of decision-making and the political uses of the medium shaped jazz radio formats. Johnson shows radio's role in the contradictory perceptions of jazz as American's model artistic contribution to the world, as Black classical music, and as the soundtrack of African American rebellion and resistance for much of the twentieth century. An interwoven story of a music and a medium, 'Jazz radio America' answers perennial questions about why certain kinds of jazz get played and why even that music is played in so few places."--

Preaching on wax : the phonograph and the shaping of modern African American religion / by Martin, Lerone A.(CARDINAL)408522;
Includes bibliographical references and index.From 1925 to 1941, approximately one hundred African American clergymen teamed up with leading record labels such as Columbia, Paramount, Victor-RCA to record and sell their sermons on wax. While white clerics of the era, such as Aimee Semple McPherson and Charles Fuller, became religious entrepreneurs and celebrities through their pioneering use of radio, black clergy were largely marginalized from radio. Instead, they relied on other means to get their message out, teaming up with corporate titans of the phonograph industry to package and distribute their old-time gospel messages across the country. Their nationally marketed folk sermons received an enthusiastic welcome by consumers, at times even outselling top billing jazz and blues artists such as Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey. These phonograph preachers significantly shaped the development of black religion during the interwar period, playing a crucial role in establishing the contemporary religious practices of commodification, broadcasting, and celebrity. Yet, the fame and reach of these nationwide media ministries came at a price, as phonograph preachers became subject to the principles of corporate America. In Preaching on Wax, Lerone A. Martin offers the first full-length account of the oft-overlooked religious history of the phonograph industry. He explains why a critical mass of African American ministers teamed up with the major phonograph labels of the day, how and why black consumers eagerly purchased their religious records, and how this phonograph religion significantly contributed to the shaping of modern African American Christianity.
