The development of jazz and swing in the African-American community in Los Angeles in the years before the second World War received a boost from the arrival of a significant numbers of musicians from Chicago and the southwestern states. In Swingin’ on Central: African-American Jazz in Los Angeles, a new study of that vibrant jazz community, music historian and jazz journalist Peter Vacher traveled between Los Angeles and London over several years in order to track down key figures and interview them for this oral history of one of the most swinging jazz scenes in the United States. Vacher recreates the energy and vibrancy of the Central Avenue scene through first-hand accounts from such West Coast notables as trumpeters Andy Blakeney , George Orendorff, and McLure “Red Mack” Morris; pianists Betty Hall Jones, Chester Lane, and Gideon Honore, saxophonists Chuck Thomas, Jack McVea, and Caughey Roberts Jr; drummers Jesse Sailes, Red Minor Robinson, and Nathaniel “Monk” McFay; and others. Throughout, readers learn the story behind the formative years of these musicians, most of whom have never been interviewed until now. While not exactly headliners—nor heavily recorded—this community of jazz musicians was among the most talented in pre-war America. Arriving in Los Angeles at a time when black Americans faced restrictions on where they could live and work, jazz artists of color commonly found themselves limited to the Central Avenue area. This scene, supplemented by road travel, constituted their daily bread as players—with none of them making it to New York. Through their own words, Vacher tells their story in Los Angeles, offering along the way a close look at the role the black musicians union played in their lives while also taking on jazz historiography’s comparative neglect of these West Coast players. Music historians with a particular interest in pre-bop jazz in California will find much new material here as Vacher paints a world of luxurious white nightclubs with black bands, ghetto clubs and after-hours joints, a world within a world that resulted from the migration of black musicians to the West Coast.

The most famous Jazz icon you never heard of, is... Eddie Durham wrote the book for the original Count Basie Orchestra out of Kansas City, many of its compositions and at first, all arrangements. He also played in the Basie Orchestra trombone section and as a featured soloist on electric guitar. That he had been such a primary in the intro of amplification on the guitar, was as significant as anything ever done, not just by him. Because the electric guitar had a prominence certainly in the 2nd half of the 20th Century, the first electric guitarist is the foundation to an astounding set of developments in music. Eddie Durham is that first practitioner. He’s also taught Charlie Christian. If he was unobserved, as he certainly is, he would already through this 1 triumph have this accolade of the most unobserved musical genius of the 20th Century. But, there’s also his composing - his blues compositions alone put him on the map forever. “Sent For You Yesterday, Here U Come Today”, “Good Morning Blues”, “1 O’Clock Jump, “I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire”, “Topsy”, “Swinging the Blues”. Also one of the masterful genius' of the composers/arrangers to the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra "Wham, ReBop, BoomBam". And Durham arranged “In The Mood” for the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1939. It's the soundtrack of America and Durham's ticket to the NARAS Hall of Fame.... Scouted by band leaders as a "hit-maker", Eddie's unique story from the inside, has never been told. UNTIL NOW. Don't miss this gem!

Looking and Listening: Conversations between Modern Art and Music invites the art and music lover to place these two realms of creative endeavor into an open dialog. Although the worlds of music and visual art often seem to take separate paths, they are usually parallel. Conductor and art connoisseur Brenda Leach takes unique pairings of well-known visual art works and musical compositions from the twentieth century to identify the shared sources of inspiration, as well as similarities in theme, style, and technique, to explore the historical and cultural influences on the great artists and composers in the twentieth century. Looking and Listening asks and answers: What does jazz have in common with paintings by Stuart Davis and Piet Mondrian? How did Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue affect the work of artist Arthur Dove? How did painter Georgia O’Keeffe and composer Aaron Copland capture the spirit of a youthful America entering the twentieth century? What did Kandinsky and Schoenberg share in their artistic visions? Leach takes readers on a whirlwind tour of the lives of these artists, surveying many of the key movements in the twentieth century by comparing representative works from the modern masters of the visual arts and music. Leach’s refreshing and innovation approach will interest those passionate about twentieth-century art and music and is ideal for any student or instructor, museum docent, or music programmer seeking to draw the lines of connection between these two art forms.
