Deutsche Hot-Discographie. Cake Walk, Ragtime, Hot Dance
& Jazz - ein Handbuch.
By Rainer E. Lotz, Das Handbuch berücksichtigt
alle
historischen Tondokumente, die während der „Schellackzeit“ (also
vor Einführung
der Mikrorillen-Langspielplatten in den 50er-Jahren) in der Regel mit
der
damals üblichen Geschwindigkeit von ca. 78 Umdrehungen pro Minute
aufgenommen
wurden. Aufgeführt werden auch Schallplatten von deutschsprachigen
Interpreten
im Ausland sowie von ausländischen Interpreten, die in Deutschland
entstanden
sind. Neben Schellackplatten werden auch mechanische Tonträger
einbezogen, insbesondere Metallnotenscheiben. Diese Artefakte sind
wichtig für die Vor- und Frühgeschichte des Jazz,
für Ragtime und Cake Walk.
Gegenstand des Buches ist eine Datenbank, die sich nach verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten sortieren lässt: Interpret, Sänger, Katalog-Nummer, Matrizen-Nummer, Titel, Datum. Darüber hinaus wird die Abfolge der Solisten angegeben. Von den Plattenfirmen wurden oft bei einer Sitzung mehrere Aufnahmen des gleichen Titels aufgenommen - sei es, um Fehler zu verbessern, sei es um Sicherheits-Reserven vorzuhalten. Diese sogenannten „Takes“ werden, soweit nachgewiesen, aufgeführt. In den Kriegsjahren begann der Reichsrundfunk, Sendematerial auf Tonbändern aufzunehmen, die nicht mehr als Schwarzplatten gepresst wurden (einige wurden allerdings nach dem Kriege auf dem Radiophon-Etikett veröffentlicht.) Eine Auswahl dieser Titel wird in diese Aufstellung mit dem Hinweis [Radio-Band] einbezogen. Um den Charakter eines Handbuches zu erhalten, wird auf weitere discographisch interessante Angaben verzichtet, die sich anderweitig recherchieren lassen (insbesondere Aufnahmeort, Ursprungswerk, Komponist, Texter, Arrangeur, Besetzungen und andere Mitwirkende.) In dem ausgedruckten Handbuch
werden die
zwei für den Sammler wichtigsten Sortierkriterien
berücksichtigt: „Interpret“
und „Plattenfirma“. Auf einen Blick ist jeweils zu sehen, welche Titel
eines
bestimmten Interpreten von Hot-Interesse sind, bzw. welche
Bestell-Nummern
eines bestimmten Labels sammelnswert sind. Im Umkehrschluss ist der
nicht
aufgeführte Rest nicht von Hot-Interesse. Dem Buch
beigefügt ist eine CD-Rom, die darüber hinaus auch
Dateien enthält für "Sänger", "Titel" und
"Aufnahmedatum" (Chronologie) 480 Pages (includes
free
CD) Hard cover 60.-

Black People, entertainers of African descent in Germany,
and Europe
Essays by Rainer E. Lotz, with contributions by Jeffrey Green, Howard Rye and Bruce Bastin. Areas of musical tradition which are under-represented or un-represented on record have tended to disappear from history. This effect is particularly dramatic in consideration of the innumerable dancers, singers, instrumentalists, comedians, or actors of African descent active in Europe around the turn of the century, who were often also disregarded and despised as a racial minority. The book analyzes the impact of
African-American music in
Europe,
and offers biographies, discographies and filmographies of over a dozen
fascinating personalities - representing the hundreds of other pioneers
in their respective fields of entertainment who remain unrecognized.
Detailed chronologies follow
their travels from Ireland to Siberia. Contemporary reviews are quoted
at
length. Contents: Cakewalk and Ragtime in
Europe; The Bohee Brothers; Seth Weeks; Belle Davis; Hampton &
Bowman; The Musical Spillers; Edgar Jones; The Black Troubadours; The
Louisiana Troupes: Will Garland; Arabella Fields; Sudanese Wedding; The
Black Diamonds; William McAllen; Louis Douglas & Josephine Baker;
The Harlequin Jazz and Hot Dance Series. Illustrations include photogaphs, etchings, cartoons, movie stills, and facsimiles of rare documents. The book is accompanied by a CD
sampler ranging from a
mechanical
music version of the Dora Dean Cakewalk (composed by Bert Williams) to
a
jazz drum-solo by William MacAllan (who is of German and Somali
parentage). The bagpipe of Xer bin Abdallah from Bornu, the mandolin of
Seth Weeks, the
piano of Everett Luke Cavendish, the voices of Belle Davis, Laura
Bowman, Pete Hampton and others can be heard for the first time since
they were originally
recorded almost one hundred years ago, allowing stunning insights into
a
culture which is all but forgotten. 400 Pages, richly illustrated (includes free CD) Hard cover 51.- € |

Michael Danzi - American Musician in Germany 1924-1939.
Memoirs of
the jazz, entertainment, and movie world of Berlin during the Weimar
Republic
and the Nazi era - and in the United States
as told to Rainer E. Lotz. Michael Danzi does not appear in many of the standard reference books on the history of Berlin and Germany, the development of music and entertainment in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, or the listings of recordings and films made in the years when Berlin dominated European artistic progress. Michael Danzi recorded seventeen thousand titles during his sixteen years in Europe, which, apart from suggesting that he deserves an entry in the Guinness Book of Records, indicates his role as an important figure in the history of popular music in Europe. During his years in Germany Danzi was regarded as the top instrumentalist and soloist on banjo, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and Hawaiian guitar as well as the mandolin. He was called into the numerous recording studios of Berlin to assist name bands and to accompany operatic and popular singers. He appeared on television from 1938, in silent films, and on the soundtracks of more than fifty talkies. Those fifty films alone are a Who´s Who of the 1930s movie business. He was one of the several American musicians whose careers were mainly outside the U.S.A. and so have been ignored by American historians. He brought the latest sound of popular music from America to Germany and so influenced hundreds of musicians in Europe. Berlin was the artistic centre of Europe in the golden twenties, from the end of post-war inflation in 1923 until the Nazi takeover in 1933. Music, literature, theatre, sports, commerce and technology, entertainment, vice, sexual experiments, fine arts, films, and poetry exploded in Berlin in those years. Berlin had over four million inhabitants and was second only to London in population although larger in size. No other city had more industry; it was a trade center and its port was the second largest in Germany. Seventeen airlines called on the capital, which had more than forty theatres and opera houses, innumerable night clubs, dance halls, cafes, restaurants, hotels, ballrooms, roof gardens, bars, cabarets, and variety houses. The city´s journalists produced magazines and newspapers - four issues a day with special editions from time to time. It was in this atmosphere that Michael Danzi worked: he was there when it happened, and he took part in it. Danzi appeared with Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland. He recorded with Franz Lehár and Duke Ellington. He played with the best bands from Biarritz to Stockholm, jammed with Paul Whiteman and Sam Wooding, was a featured soloist on Broadway and in the operettas of Paul Abraham, premièred with Kurt Weill, and worked in the theatre with Max Reinhardt. He spoke with Hitler, Fritz Kreisler, and the Crown Prince. He remembers it all and tells it with candour: sometimes all too clearly recalling musicians who were attracted to Europe during America´s prohibition years by the promise of booze, or those who could not keep steady work because they couldn´t read music. He was known as „Papa Danzi“ because he paid the fares home of a good number of stranded American musicians. It is his autobiography; but it is more than that. It is a goldmine of information on the personalities of five decades, when American music and entertainment dominated the world. 294 Pages, 16 pages of rare photos Hard cover 40.- € very few copies left.... |
