Smashing Pumpkins - Spangled

Jazz thrived in Boston during the post World War II years of the 1940s and ’50s. One notable venue remains from this era, Wally’s Café Jazz Club. Established in 1947, Wally’s is an institution for live acts in an intimate atmosphere. In the evening, catch Wally’s long running open jam session. Both The Beehive and Scullers Jazz Club have been lauded by DownBeat Magazine as among the top U.S. jazz clubs, so be sure to add them to your agenda for tasty food and creative tunes. Hear live music outdoors by timing a visit to coincide with two acclaimed events, the Boston Art & Music Soul Festival in June in Franklin Park and the Boston Jazz Fest in August at the Seaport. See touring acts at the Berklee College of Music’s Berklee Performance Center or enjoy the coffeehouse vibe of the student run Red Room at Café 939.

Seattle was another destination with a lenient attitude toward alcohol and speakeasies during the Prohibition Era, and that allowed the jazz scene to flourish. Performers such as Quincy Jones, Ray Charles and Ernestine Anderson gained fame here. In addition to popular clubs such as Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley, The Triple Door and Seamonster Lounge, Seattle is festival country. Earshot Jazz Festival in October and November is the biggest jazz festival in the city, but you can also plan a trip around the Bellevue Jazz & Blues Music Series in June, or Jazz in the Valley in July.

Copyrighting and Public Domain Music A song is the combination of melody and words. Each is protected by copyright, the melody as a musical work and the lyrics as a literary work. One or the other could be used separately and still be protected. Image by Markus Spiske Public Domain Music Public domain essentially covers creative works that are no longer protected by intellectual property laws, compositions and musical recordings in which the claim to intellectual property has either expired, been forfeited, or been waived. Most people recognize the term public domain in reference to published works, including sheet music or musical recordings, which once were protected by copyright, but the copyright expired several decades after the artist’s death or a considerable length of time after the work’s creation. Once copyright expires on a work like a recorded song, you can use it for any purpose without paying the publisher, the artist, or another institution. The Two Types of Copyright ...

The Waterboys - Carolan's Weird Welcome

The blues developed during the mid 20th century as technology brought new instruments like the electric guitar, better microphones, and amplifiers to the live music scene. This new form of electric blues started in the Mississippi Delta and Chicago, but soon spread to other parts of the United States. Blues rock and British Blues developed, and soon the blues had spread to most popular genres. Rock was born from the blues, and hard rockin’ blues music is still a staple of club bands around the world. Early British rockers were avid collectors and imitators of early blues records. There’s no denying the blues stylings of modern stars like Adele. Pop star Christina Aguilera loves singing traditional blues songs, most notably her rendition of At Last at Etta James’s funeral. An incredible fusion of traditional African music, African American songs, and folk music, the blues had a worldwide impact that continues to flow through the melodies and harmonies of musical artists today.

Cannonball Adderley - Willow Weep for Me

The positivity and uplifting effect of the musical product is more likely to mean the musician is cheering themselves and everybody up rather than that the musician is telling us they are happy. This can largely be applied to attitudes to the performance of jazz and other Black cultures in the Western world. Whilst some of the aforementioned jazz pioneers, like Ella Fitzgerald, stayed clean, several had a history of drug abuse... which often resulted in premature deaths. Louis Armstrong, who used the infinitely safer drug marijuana throughout his 69 years... Whilst drug use was not uncommon among musicians in general, this pattern that many of the greats of jazz died young due to addictions speaks of a consistent level of turmoil, and alludes to their common experience of racism as a depressive factor in 20th Century America.
