New Orleans Jazz,Swinging Out

Peter Gerler has covered early jazz for JazzTimes, Downbeat, The BostonGlobe, New Orleans Gambit, American Legacy, and other publications. He iscurrently working on a book about Joseph “King” Oliver. To celebrate JazzAppreciation Month, Upbeat asked him to write an article on a movement hedescribes as attracting thousands of young people to jazz.

Recently, the New York pianist and arranger Gordon Webster and his7-piece band appeared in Cambridge, MA, together with theBritish/Australian vocalist Hetty Kate. The old hall, supplied by

Boston Swing Central, had a dropped ceiling, big fans hanging, band backin the corner. They set off into a relaxed groove, with “Coquette,” contin-uing into “Sometimes I’m Happy” and “You Turned the Tables on Me”—tunes from the 1920s & 30s.

On the band’s first note, the hundred and fifty 20- and 30-somethingshanging around the floor started into an easy Lindy hop--the music madevisual. The song couldn’t tell itself from the shuffle, a “mobile sculpture,”to quote S.D. Cudjoe. The swing in the beat had gone into the feet.

This is the history of jazz: music out of movement. And it’s coming aroundagain.

During the last decade, dance venuesof all shapes and sizes, all around thecountry, have drawn thousands ofMillennials to the release-from-gravityrhythm of New Orleans jazz and small-group swing.

Between June and September 2014,the World Swing Dance Council listedthirty-seven organized dances in seven-teen states and six foreign countries.

In an August 2013 Vanity Fair piece,the New York jazz writer Will Friedwaldwrote, “I find that I can go hear a 20s-style band, almost inevitably made up ofmusicians born well after 1980, playingsomewhere in the city virtually everynight of the week.”

The young people come for thedance—and for the community. ABoston dancer named Kellian told me,“If I could share one thing with thewhole world, dance would be it. It could reach people during the loneliesttimes of their lives.” At St. Mazie inWilliamsburg, where the trad band BabySoda held forth late on a Sunday night, aCanadian called Ivan said, “Swing dancemakes people feel alive.”

And at French Quarter Festival 2014in New Orleans, amidst music from hotyoung bands with names like TubaSkinny, the Palmetto Bug Stompers,Smoking Time Jazz Club, and the NewOrleans Cottonmouth Kings, a dancernamed Les said, “On Frenchmen Street,I fell in love with traditional jazz. Whenpeople are dancing, everyone smiles. Youcan see the joy on their faces. It’s a won-

derful community. Lindy hop haschanged my life.”

The resurgence comes on a centennial:Jazz made its national debut when NewOrleans’ Original Creole Orchestra (akaThe Creole Band) set off in 1914 on afour-year vaudeville tour, unveiling swingrhythm from coast to coast. Describingone of their shows, a Los Angeles Recordreporter pronounced that rhythm “soenticing that the temptation to dancewas almost overwhelming.”

The year 1914 saw other musicalwatersheds: W.C. Handy published “St.Louis Blues”; James Reese Europe’sSociety Orchestra became the first of itskind to make records; and LouisArmstrong emerged from the ColoredWaifs Home for Boys.

As is true today, in the early 1900s eco-nomic disparity brought strain to U.S.communities. But New Orleans jazz—that celebration of freedom—has alwaysbeen about community. Music anddance came together as a package.Writes Tom Piazza in Why New OrleansMatters, “Mac Rebennack, better knownas Dr. John, once told me that when abrass band plays at a small club back upin one of the neighborhoods, it's as if theaudience—dancing, singing to therefrains, laughing--is part of the band.They are two parts of the same thing.”

So maybe the Millennials hear the callof an earlier, more neighborly time when young people, rather than just lis-tening to live music, became part of it,through dance.

Or maybe they’ve just read theirEinstein: "Nothing happens until some-thing moves.”
