On Sunday, August 12, 2012, at 3:00 p.m., the NewBlack Eagles
Jazz Band will perform at theCommunity Arts Center, 414 Plush Mill
Road inWallingford, PA. The New Black Eagles have beentogether for
40 years, play the traditional music ofNew Orleans, and have
appeared just abouteverywhere great jazz is played, including
theNewport Jazz Festival. The NBEJB has anuncommonly large
repertoire and will featurematerial by Armstrong, Oliver, Bechet,
Morton, andEllington.
The hallmarks of an Ed Wise-led concert are tightarrangements,
soaring solos by his sidemen, soundsof sweet clarinet, thumping
bass, spirited trombone,high octane trumpet, and sparkling piano
work. Theband kicked off the afternoon with HoagyCarmichael’s
“Riverboat Shuffle.” It began softlywith solos by each band member,
then with allletting loose in the finale in perfect harmony.
Othernotable numbers included “Mahogany Hall Stomp,”a favorite of
Louis Armstrong; “Four or Five Times”and “Frog-I-More” which was
later transposed byEvan Christopher and Tom McDermott into arumba
style called “Sweetheart of Mine.”
Especially appealing to this acoustic piano fan wasDave
Posmontier's inventive treatment of the FatsWaller favorite -
“Ain't Misbehavin.” Soft andsubtle background was provided by Ed on
bass andGrant MacAvoy on drums. Dave gave that tune theaura of a
piano bar instead of a church hall.Another great favorite was “Just
a Closer Walk withThee,” beginning as a slow funeral march,
conjuringup visions of a funeral procession with musiciansgiving a
send-off to a dearly departed brotherheaded for the Promised Land.
It ended with a highspirited blowout featuring Charly Salinger
reachingfor the stars on clarinet.

MARDI GRAS IN MAYCONCERT REVIEW
Dispelling the belief that the Mardi Gras spirit islimited only
to a period prior to Lent, Ed Wise andhis New Orleans Jazz Band
brought forth images ofstreet parades, bayous, magnolias, and the
BigMuddy at Silverside Church, Wilmington, DE onMay 20.

Unquestionably Ed Wise is a master of the bass.His peers will
attest to that fact when he is asked toperform as a sideman by
noted jazz band leadersthroughout the U.S. Little known is Ed's
singingability that wrings the emotions from songspertaining to his
former home - New Orleans.Examples on this day were his renderings
of a LouisArmstrong favorite entitled “That's My Home” andthe
popular “Do You Know What It Means To MissNew Orleans.” 'Nuff to
make a grown man cry!There were more than twenty selections
playedduring the concert. Each piece was introduced byEd with a
scholarly explanation of the composer,when the piece was first
recorded, and theperformers who played it at the local
Sportsman’sClub which Ed explained “naively” was a placewhere one
could buy baseballs and baseball gloves.The afternoon ended in the
traditional manner ofDixieland concerts with a spirited treatment
of“When the Saints Go Marching In.” Most likely theSaints were
awakened from their afternoon napswhile the appreciative audience
clapped in unisonas the band left the stage.

REVIEW - FINAL CHATTANOOGATRADITIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL
This exceptional event started in 1990 as theBessie Smith Jazz
Festival and Astrid and MikeGriffin were driving forces from the
beginning.The 2012 festival, which was held at theChattanooga
Choo-Choo Hotel May 3-6, was the22nd and last one. It was a
sensational exit!
The Buck Creek, Grand Dominion, High Sierraand Bob Schulz Frisco
Jazz Bands performed.The Choo-Choo Ballroom was packed with some400
attendees, including 4 Tri-State Jazz and 50Potomac River Jazz Club
members. The rednapkins, towels, scarves, wash cloths,
hankies,whatever, were never idle. I have heard thesebands many,
many times, but this weekend theynever played or sounded better.
The music wasnothing short of spectacular, with generousportions of
Bix, Jelly Roll Morton, LouisArmstrong, The Duke, Fats Waller and
SydneyBechet (at least 7 of his tunes). The roster ofmusicians was
equally impressive.
The finale of any long standing, successful endeavoris always
met with mixed emotions. For sure therewere some melancholy
handshakes, "goodbyes"exchanged with a note of sadness and a few
tearswere shed. However there was no pall hanging overus. This was
an excited, wound-up, exuberantcrowd bursting at the seams.

BOOKS ABOUT JAZZITS CREATORS AND ITS HISTORY
My own interest in jazz began at a very youngage because of
books about jazz; indeed, I readabout jazz before I began listening
to jazz. What Iread fascinated and captivated me and drew meinto a
lifetime of listening to, performing andtalking about jazz.
The origins of the music have been cloaked inmystery and in
myth. Its creators have passed onand left us a handful of
recordings and a dearth ofwritten material. Legend, hearsay and a
fewwritten or recorded interviews were all that wereavailable to
the student of New Orleans jazz historyaround the turn of the 20th
century.
An undocumented collection of myths and legends,stories of
heroes, villains, alcoholism andprostitution became the history of
jazz, along with anotion that its creators were musically
illiterate anduntrained, that improvisation was their only meansof
musical expression and that the legal houses ofprostitution in the
storied Storyville district werethe only venues where one could
hear the newsyncopated sounds of hot jazz.
Thankfully, in recent years, due to the diligent
andtime-consuming work of historians andmusicologists, a clearer
picture of the origins of jazzhas emerged. Among others, Bruce
Raeburn (sonof swing-era big band leader Boyd Raeburn) whooversees
the huge collection of historical artifacts atTulane University and
Lawrence Gushee, ProfessorEmeritus of Music at the University of
Illinois atUrbana-Champaign have been tireless in theirefforts to
uncover the elusive story of the earliestbeginnings of jazz in New
Orleans and itsprehistory of music in the Crescent City during
the18th and 19th centuries.
As I immersed myself in these subjects, I havebecome fascinated,
once again as I was at age 15,with the history of America's art
form. Whatfollows is a very incomplete, informal bibliographyof
some books on early jazz, its prototypes and themusic in 19th
century New Orleans. I hope you willacquire some of these, either
by purchase orthrough your local library, and enjoy the world ofold
New Orleans, its music and its history.● Brothers, Thomas, Louis
Armstrong's
New Orleans, W. W. Norton, New York -London, 2006.
I consider this one a "must-read." Learnabout New Orleans as it
was duringArmstrong's childhood and learn about thepeople and
circumstances surroundingyoung Louis that led to his becoming
"themost influential figure in American music"(Gary Giddins).
● Gushee, Lawrence, "The Nineteenth-Century Origins of Jazz",
Black MusicResearch Journal, Volume 14, #1 (Spring 1994).
An article by musicologist/music historianLawrence Gushee. This
article can bedownloaded online at no cost in pdf form

● Collins, R., New Orleans Jazz: A RevisedHistory, Vantage Press
Inc., New York, 1996.(out of print, but I bought a used copy
onAmazon or eBay, can't remember which)
An interesting book about culture and musicin New Orleans with a
particular focus onthe history of "free people of color,"
a.k.a."Creoles of color." As a historical work, itneeds to be taken
with a grain of salt. It isquirky and Collins is driven by an
agenda ashe takes special pains to segregate Creoles ofcolor from
African-American descendants ofslaves. Nevertheless, highly
readable andenjoyable. I recommend reading theGushee article above
as an offset to Collins'perspective.
● Burns, Ken, Jazz (television series), Episode1, "Gumbo".
● Gushee, Lawrence, Pioneers of Jazz: TheStory of the Creole
Band, Oxford UniversityPress, New York, 2005.● The Creole Band
predated the Original
Dixieland Jazz Band by about 3 years as anational touring group
out of New Orleans.Musically unrecorded, their story isfascinating.
The legendary Freddie Keppardwas the cornetist and King
Oliver'sbassist/banjoist Bill Johnson was also in theband.
● Marquis, Donald M., In Search of BuddyBolden: First Man of
Jazz, LouisianaUniversity Press, 1978, 1993, 2005 (newedition).
Marquis' pioneering work in tracking down documented information
on Buddy Bolden.● Sudhalter, Richard, Lost Chords: White
Musicians and their Contribution toJazz, 1915-1945, Oxford
University Press,New York, 2001.
Another essential read. 890 pages long, thisbook, with its "set
the record straight"agenda (not unlike that of theaforementioned R.
Collins), is chock full ofinformative data, vignettes and
biographies.Whether or not you agree with Sudhalter'sassertions vis
a vis his agenda, the work ismonumental and important. And it
isvaluable as an offset to Ken Burns'perspective.

PASSING THE TORCHAs you may know, I am stepping down as
StrutterEditor. Editing for the Strutter, as well as writingfor it,
has been an adventure for me. In July, 2009,with the encouragement
of former TSJS presidentDeWitt Peterson, and current president
Sandy Catz,I took on the Editor assignment, with no
previousexperience as an editor other than some writing andcomputer
skills. For the years that followed, Iquickly discovered what it
would take to edit such apublication. My successor will be Dewaine
Osman.In speaking with Dewaine, I am confident that theStrutter
will be in good hands and continue to be aquality publication.
Please lend your kind supportto Dewaine as he takes on a very
challenging task. Iwill continue to be involved with TSJS,
writingoccasional articles, reviews, as well as
providingphotography at the concerts. Thank you for yourmany
compliments, comments, criticisms, etc.during the past three years.
I have tried to makethe Strutter an exceptional product. From
yourfeedback, I feel that I have met that goal.
