1920s – 1930s JAZZDANCEARTLITERATURE: POETRY, DRAMA, NOVELS

 World War I had just ended  The 18 th Amendment made alcohol illegal  Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were presidents  Radio hit the airwaves

That’s a radio.She’s a flapper.

Great Migration from the rural South, Former slaves were heading North to find work in the urban centers/cities because Reconstruction had failed. Created their own culture of music, art, literature, and fashion in response to their new surroundings

 Type of jazz music  Charlie Parker, saxophone  Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet  Charles Mingus, bassist  Scat: Be de be do be do be do be do

 Horns played cleanly, like a piano  Emphasis on 8 th and 16 th notes  Very fast, many solos in one song  Chords are a reference, not a melody  Integrated/quoted/sampled from other songs

Roots of Jazz in the Southern Spiritual

They played their music here

Dance and music blended together…

 Rented hall + flyers + cheap food, + good, live music + dime admission + red lights =

 Musicians like Charlie Parker or Billie Holiday would show up after their paid gig and play for free  These were called “Jumps!” or “Shouts!” IT WAS THE JAZZ AGE

Just as colorful as the music

 Some hearkened back to Africa Like the work of Aaron Douglas

This is the Charlest on Reflecte d the dancing.

 Were always in the back of their minds  The reality: lynching and the Ku Klux Klan This is Denver, CO in 1930

 Langston Hughes, Theme for English B: The instructor said, Go home and write a page tonight. And let that page come out of you- Then, it will be true. I wonder if it's that simple? I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem. I went to school there, then Durham, then here to this college on the hill above Harlem. I am the only colored student in my class. The steps from the hill lead down into Harlem through a park, then I cross St. Nicholas, Eighth Avenue, Seventh, and I come to the Y, the Harlem Branch Y, where I take the elevator up to my room, sit down, and write this page:

It's not easy to know what is true for you or me at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I'm what I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you: hear you, hear me-we two-you, me, talk on this page. (I hear New York too.) Me-who? Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life. I like a pipe for a Christmas present, or records-Bessie, bop, or Bach. I guess being colored doesn't make me NOT like the same things other folks like who are other races.

 So will my page be colored that I write? Being me, it will not be white. But it will be a part of you, instructor. You are white--- yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That's American. Sometimes perhaps you don't want to be a part of me. Nor do I often want to be a part of you. But we are, that's true! As I learn from you, I guess you learn from me--- although you're older---and white--- and somewhat more free. This is my page for English B.
