Edwin Arlington Robinson Think About It
"To some will come a time when change itself is beauty, if not heaven."
- Poet Edwin Arlington Robinson, 1869 - 1935
Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horne Drawing on a wealth of unmined material and hundreds of interviews – one of them with Lena Horne herself – critically acclaimed author James Gavin gives us a “deftly researched” (The Boston Globe) and authoritative portrait of the American icon. Horne broke down racial barriers in the entertainment industry in the 1940s and ’50s even as she was limited mostly to guest singing appearances in splashy Hollywood musicals. Incorporating insights from the likes of Ruby Dee, Tony Bennett, Diahann Carroll, and Bobby Short, Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horne reveals the many faces of this luminous, complex, strong-willed, passionate, even tragic woman – a stunning talent who inspired such giants as Barbra Streisand, Eartha Kitt, and Aretha Franklin. In a September 18, 2009 interview with Jerry Jazz Musician associate editor Peter Maita, Gavin discusses the challenging yet inspiring life of one of the 20th century's most revered entertainers, Lena Horne.
Lena Horne Satchel Paige
Satchel: The Life and Times of an American Legend Leroy “Satchel” Paige was the most sensational pitcher ever to throw a baseball. During his years in the Negro Leagues he fine-tuned a pitch so scorching that catchers tried to soften the sting by cushioning their gloves with beefsteaks. His career stats — 2,000 wins, 250 shutouts, three victories on the same day — are so eye-popping they seem like misprints. But bigotry kept big league teams from signing him until he was forty-two, at which point he helped propel the Cleveland Indians to the World Series. Over a career that spanned four decades, Satchel pitched more baseballs, for more fans, in more ballparks, for more teams, than any player in history. In an August 25, 2009 interview with Jerry Jazz Musician contributor Paul Hallaman, Larry Tye, author of Satchel: The Life and Times of an American Legend, talks about this story that speaks to fans of sports history and American culture.
W.C. Handy: The Life and Times of the Man Who Made the Blues Before there was Elvis, there was W.C. Handy, “the man who made the blues,” who gave us such iconic songs as “St. Louis Blues,” “The Memphis Blues,” and “Beale Street Blues,” and who was responsible, more than any other musician, for bringing the blues into the American mainstream. In our July, 2009 interview with Jerry Jazz Musician associate editor Peter Maita, David Robertson, author of W.C. Handy: The Life and Times of the Man Who Made the Blues, discusses the life and impact of this seminal blues musician.
One Night Stand by Romare Bearden Thriving on a Riff
Graham Lock and David Murray write, "Charlie Parker is reported to have said, 'Hear with your eyes and see with your ears.' Who can be sure of what he meant? But perhaps it was a way of saying that African American creativity is so grounded in its music that listening will allow you to better see its paintings, to better read its poetry and fiction." In a March, 2009 interview, Lock and Murray -- the co-editors of The Hearing Eye: Jazz & Blues Influences in African American Visual Art and Thriving on a Riff: Jazz & Blues Influences in African American Literature and Film -- discuss the connections between jazz and literature, art and film. In Search of the Blues
Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Charley Patton -- we are all familiar with the story of the Delta blues. Fierce, raw voices; tormented drifters; deals with the devil at the crossroads at midnight. In an extraordinary reconstruction of the origins of the Delta blues, historian Marybeth Hamilton demonstrates that the story as we know it is largely a myth. According to Hamilton, the idea of something called Delta blues only emerged in the mid-twentieth century, the culmination of a longstanding white fascination with the exotic mysteries of black music. Hamilton participates in a conversation about her book, In Search of the Blues, with Jerry Jazz Musician contributor Paul Hallaman. Leadbelly
Curt Flood A Well Paid Slave: Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sports
Upon being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1969, Curt Flood, an All-Star center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, wanted nothing more than to stay with St. Louis. But his only options were to report to Philadelphia or retire. Instead, Flood sued Major League Baseball for his freedom, hoping to invalidate the reserve clause in his contract, which bound a player to his team for life. In A Well-Paid Slave, the first extended treatment of Flood and his lawsuit, Brad Snyder examines this long-misunderstood case and its impact on professional sports. In a February 25, 2008 interview with Jerry Jazz Musician contributor Paul Hallaman, Snyder talks about this story that speaks to fans of sports history, legal affairs, and American culture. Coltrane: The Story of a Sound
What was the essence of John Coltrane’s achievement that makes him so prized forty years after his death? What was it about his improvising, his bands, his compositions, his place within his era of jazz that left so many musicians and listeners so powerfully drawn to him? What would a John Coltrane look like now -- or are we looking for the wrong signs? The acclaimed jazz writer Ben Ratliff addresses these questions in Coltrane: The Story of a Sound, and joins us in a conversation about Coltrane's sound and influence in a January 29, 2008 interview. John Coltrane photo by Lee Tanner
Ralph Ellison Ralph Ellison: A Biography
Ralph Ellison is justly celebrated for his epochal novel Invisible Man, which won the National Book Award in 1953 and has become a classic of American literature. But Ellison’s strange inability to finish a second novel, despite his dogged efforts and soaring prestige, made him a supremely enigmatic figure. In Ralph Ellison: A Biography, Arnold Rampersad skillfully tells the story of a writer whose thunderous novel and astute, courageous essays on race, literature, and culture assure him of a permanent place in our literary heritage. In our August, 2007 interview, Rampersad discusses the book many are calling Ellison's "definitive" biography, as well as a "stellar model of literary biography." From the Interview Archive
"Boogaloo" is a term author Arthur Kempton suggests as an alternative to what was conventionally described as soul music, and a word to distinguish black popular music from jazz. Boogaloo encompassed three generations of signal personalities, from Thomas A. Dorsey, the so-called "Father of Gospel Music," to Sam Cooke, Motown's Berry Gordy, Stax Record's Al Bell, and to the ascendency of hip-hop entrepreneurs Shug Knight and Russell Simmons. Their interconnections and influence on the art and commerce of black American popular music is the theme of Kempton's book, Boogaloo: The Quintessance of American Popular Music. He talks with us in an August, 2003 Jerry Jazz Musician interview. Visit our interview archive

Bumps Out Then Bumps Back by Trudy Carpenter Ralph Ellison
The Ralph Ellison Project Ralph Ellison left an indelible mark on our culture, and not only because of Invisible Man. He was friendly with and mentored many of today's most influential critics and musicians. It is a worthwhile endeavor to reach back and discover the rich world he wrote of, and to understand his philosophy surrounding music and its connection to American traditions, rituals and literature. In our critically acclaimed The Ralph Ellison Project, nine prominent American writers, educators and filmmakers discuss Ellison's life, and the complex and intriguing man at its core...
Celebrating African American History Our interviews are a great source of entertainment and information, featuring noted historians, biographers, critics and musicians who take on the topics of Ralph Ellison, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Jack Johnson, Reverend Ralph Abernathy, Richard Wright, the Civil Rights Movement, the influence of jazz on American culture, and many others.

Hamilton participates in a conversation about her book, In Search of the Blues, with Jerry Jazz Musician contributor Paul Hallaman. Leadbelly
Curt Flood A Well Paid Slave: Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sports
Upon being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1969, Curt Flood, an All-Star center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, wanted nothing more than to stay with St. Louis. But his only options were to report to Philadelphia or retire. Instead, Flood sued Major League Baseball for his freedom, hoping to invalidate the reserve clause in his contract, which bound a player to his team for life. In A Well-Paid Slave, the first extended treatment of Flood and his lawsuit, Brad Snyder examines this long-misunderstood case and its impact on professional sports. In a February 25, 2008 interview with Jerry Jazz Musician contributor Paul Hallaman, Snyder talks about this story that speaks to fans of sports history, legal affairs, and American culture. Coltrane: The Story of a Sound
What was the essence of John Coltrane�s achievement that makes him so prized forty years after his death? What was it about his improvising, his bands, his compositions, his place within his era of jazz that left so many musicians and listeners so powerfully drawn to him? What would a John Coltrane look like now -- or are we looking for the wrong signs? The acclaimed jazz writer Ben Ratliff addresses these questions in Coltrane: The Story of a Sound, and joins us in a conversation about Coltrane's sound and influence in a January 29, 2008 interview.

Ralph Ellison Ralph Ellison: A Biography
Ralph Ellison is justly celebrated for his epochal novel Invisible Man, which won the National Book Award in 1953 and has become a classic of American literature. But Ellison�s strange inability to finish a second novel, despite his dogged efforts and soaring prestige, made him a supremely enigmatic figure. In Ralph Ellison: A Biography, Arnold Rampersad skillfully tells the story of a writer whose thunderous novel and astute, courageous essays on race, literature, and culture assure him of a permanent place in our literary heritage. In our August, 2007 interview, Rampersad discusses the book many are calling Ellison's "definitive" biography, as well as a "stellar model of literary biography." From the Interview Archive
"Boogaloo" is a term author Arthur Kempton suggests as an alternative to what was conventionally described as soul music, and a word to distinguish black popular music from jazz. Boogaloo encompassed three generations of signal personalities, from Thomas A. Dorsey, the so-called "Father of Gospel Music," to Sam Cooke, Motown's Berry Gordy, Stax Record's Al Bell, and to the ascendency of hip-hop entrepreneurs Shug Knight and Russell Simmons. Their interconnections and influence on the art and commerce of black American popular music is the theme of Kempton's book, Boogaloo: The Quintessance of American Popular Music. He talks with us in an August, 2003 Jerry Jazz Musician interview. Visit our interview archive

It is a worthwhile endeavor to reach back and discover the rich world he wrote of, and to understand his philosophy surrounding music and its connection to American traditions, rituals and literature.
