RSRF Potted Biographies Index NEW ENTRY: Revised April 3, 2005 Below are more than 360 index entries for the potted biographies of musicians, entertainers, and record executives that can be found in the various pages on the Red Saunders Research Foundation In some cases, we lack basic biographical information on an individual, but because we may provide extensive career information, some of it found in no other source, we feel the entry is worthy of being indexed. This is not an index of every act or musician who is named in the RSRF pages. That would require far too many entries and would not be helpful to the researcher. Rather, the index covers only those individuals and acts who are covered in sufficient length to be worthy of a trip. We do not deem a one or two sentence mention on an artist sufficient for inclusion in the index, but a small paragraph on the act constitutes a potted biography in our view and is indexed. Generally, if the act is a vocal group or band, and we provide the names of the members and details on one or more sessions we will index it. A Abner, Ewart Jr

The Boogie Woogie Beat: Rompin' Stompin' Rhythm Broadcast the week of 1/17/02 Above: Cow Cow Davenport. Photo: Red Hot Jazz Archive This week, Riverwalk celebrates the rompin', stompin' rhythms of the boogie woogie beat and pays tribute to the early masters of the style: piano players with "a left hand like God." They had names like "Stavin' Chain," "Kid Stormy Weather," "Porkchops," "Skinny-Head Pete," "Papa Lord God," "Slamfoot Brown," and "The Toothpick." There were several "Pine Tops." They were one-man bands, and they all played a similar style of blues piano with a heavy left hand and a walking bass. Cow Cow Davenport is often credited with coining the term "boogie woogie." By the time Davenport came on the scene, the style had been around for more than 30 years, but no one ever called it "boogie woogie." This unmistakable "rolling bass" style of piano playing had a different name in every part of the country: "overhand," "the fives," "fast Texas piano," "hop scop," the "dirty dozens," the "sixteens," or the "rocks." The inventors of the boogie woogie beat coaxed music out of honky tonk pianos: old uprights mildewed from perpetual humidity and the occasional Saturday night beer bath. They were the stars of barrelhouse joints in the backwoods of east Texas and Louisiana. They played in shacks with dirt floors that sold Royal Crown cola, homemade booze and good times every night of the week. Barrels of chock beer and moonshine whiskey lined the walls and gave these dives (and the piano style they spawned) their name: "barrelhouse."

During the 40s he attracted widespread attention, thanks to his participation in a series of radio shows hosted by jazz writer Rudi Blesh, "This is Jazz." He had a trio with Albert Nicholas, and beginning in 1948 he worked eight years as intermission pianist at Eddie Condon's club in New York. Later he worked for Bob Scobey and, in 1963, was featured at the

Serving the Jitterbug Community Since 1999 Monday Sep 12 2005 Home Articles Archive Banners ... Store Barrelhouse vs. Boogie Woogie As described by Chris Siebert, pianist for the Lavay Smith Band "The difference between barrelhouse and boogie woogie (as I see it anyway) goes something like this": 1. Barrelhouse Piano Describes a wide variety of African-American piano styles that were played in the early part of this century. Based primarily on the blues, but also influenced by ragtime and popular songs, these styles could be described as "folk music", and were not as sophisticated, in certain ways, as ragtime or early jazz. In other ways, they were much more complex and exciting. The following quote is from Eric Kriss, who has a book called "Barrelhouse and Boogie Piano": Some good examples of barrelhouse piano, which is practically synonymous in my mind with "early blues piano", would include players that are found in the blues section of the record store: Jimmy Yancey, Roosevelt Sykes (a great singer, too!), Cow Cow Davenport, Little Brother Montgomery, Leroy Carr, Cripple Clarence Lofton, Peetie Wheatstraw, Montana Taylor, and many lesser known players with colorful names such as Drive 'em Down, Toothpick, Game Kid, and Burnt Face (these last names again come from Eric Kriss's book). There are several compilation records, particularly on Yazoo records, that focus on these styles of piano. I highly recommend "Barrelhouse Blues, 1927-1936" on Yazoo if you're interested. The first thing you'll notice, other than the fact that this is great party music, is that this music is incredibly complex. Each player has his own distinct style, and there is an infinite number of variations and ideas. As usual, music thought of as "primitive folk music" turns out to be incredibly sophisticated, and basically impossible to write out in Western music notation.

Web Design by Sid Mitchell RAGTIME BLUES HARLEM STRIDE NOVELTY PIANO BOOGIE WOOGIE Ragtime was generally played ‘as written’ from the sheet music, and was therefore not regarded as a jazz form. It is not true that Scott Joplin was composing a waltz when he had an attack of the hiccups and ragtime was invented! The style evolved through the Minstrel shows of the 1800s and later the Cakewalk. The Cakewalk started out as a social dance, originating in Florida in the 1880s, where couples would prance with a high-spirited strutting step side-by-side to jig-like banjo and fiddle music which was popular at the time. Rich plantation owners would present a prize to the best couple. Eventually the prize became a cake – hence the Cakewalk. From Florida, the dance spread all over America. The music was syncopated – hence its association with Ragtime. Scott Joplin – known as "The King of Ragtime" - was writing marches and waltzes up to 1899 when he composed his first Ragtime piece ‘Original Rags’. He had taken five themes from various folk songs and put them together to form a complete piece. Soon afterwards, the ‘Maple Leaf Rag’ followed and was to become his biggest hit – it sold over a million copies of sheet music. The big three of Ragtime were Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb. A typical composition would consist of four sections, each of 16 bars. The right hand would syncopate while the left hand played a "boom-chick" (also known as oom-pah!). The origin of the word ‘Ragtime’ is unknown, although a newspaper article in 1888 referred to a piece of music as having ‘ragged time’ (said quickly it becomes ‘Ragtime’).

But somehow the music of mid-twentieth century American juke joints made its way to Silvan Zingg, and we should be glad. Swinging along with jaunty bass-and-drums backing, Zingg nails every dizzying piano run with virtuosic skill and obvious glee. During his early schooltime, influenced by records of black Boogie Woogie masters Silvan Zingg began to play by himself the piano. When he was seventeen he officially appeared in the programm of the Blues Festival in Lugano as the youngest musician that have ever performed at this event.

This 1939 classic was also the signature tune of the Barnet Orchestra and it helped catapult the band to the front ranks of the swing era. About the Charlie Barnet Orchestra Saxophonist and band leader Charlie Barnet was among the most influential and popular musicians of the 1930s and 40s. Like Benny Goodman, he is credited for hiring many black singers and musicians as early as 1937, a time when other bands were segregated. His use of black performers kept his orchestra out of several hotels and ballrooms and was also likely the reason why he was never selected for any big commercial radio series. His hard-swinging arrangements were influenced by Duke Ellington, and because his arrangers were so well chosen and the music so well played, many of Barnet’s tracks retain a notable originality to this day.

This could be expressed as a walking octave, an open-fifth pounded out with a blue third thrown in, or even a simple figure such as falling triad (as in the work of Jimmy Yancey); the approach varies to the pianist. The style probably evolved in the American Midwest alongside that of ragtime, to which it is closely related. The earliest description of the style occurs in print circa 1880. Elements of boogie-woogie can be found prior to 1910 in piano works by such disparate figures such as Blind Boone, Luckey Roberts and the classical composer Charles Ives. The earliest recorded examples of boogie woogie are found on piano rolls made in 1922 by Cow Cow Davenport, and by the end of the 1920s dozens of boogie woogie pianists had recorded ranging geographically from Texas to Chicago.

59. At The Window At the Window, about the Chicago jazz pianist jimmy yancey, delightfully dispensedwith the cliched ways in which music and speech usually consort together http://www.fallingtree.co.uk/revyanc.htm

At the Window Anne Karpf The Guardian, 6 March 1999 At the Window, Plowright and Hall also used the interviews in a fresh way, cutting together two different, but complementary descriptions of Yancey's old piano. Then suddenly we were in a baseball sequence: it wasn't until this neared its end that we learned that Yancey had been a groundsman at a baseball stadium. In the radio-documentary book of high crimes and misdemeanours , leavintg listeners in the dark for more than 1.26 seconds leads to serious audience fidgets and, if repeated, the certainty that they will switch off. You give information first, then illustrate it, so the convention insists. Finally, Hall and Plowright had a woman talking about how Yancey's music "gets into the core of your gut". Cue gutsy, blowsy music? Nope. Cue train sounds again, then a chap saying "At the window" then, slowly, cracklingly, the music. The feature ended with a fellow asking what the music was saying and replying "I don't know". Since we'd learned that Yancey used to end his music in an odd, unresolved gesture, this was delightfully apt. close window
