Ain't She Sweet! Elsie is sitting on her pouffe, listening to her gramophone. She is from the 1920s, so I made her a 1920s room to relax in. I also made her a little cape to wear as it is getting chilly now. I received Elsie from @lace_and_linen_designs. Her "pouffe" is actually a pin cushion under her skirt! The music is "Ain't She Sweet" played by Arthur Briggs and his Southern Syncopated Orchestra. It was recorded in Berlin, 1927, with Al Bowlly on guitar. #1920s #vintagedoll #miniatureroom #vintagepincushiondoll #dollsroom #aintshesweet #littleflapper #1920sjazz #arthurbriggs

Thank you to tagged publisher for the gifted book. - “Arthur Briggs had achieved great feats in life. None was greatest than this night. He honored his profession under the hardest of circumstances. But he did something more —he risked his life for dignity. He forced the commander of Nazi-occupied France, a solider in the war for white supremacy, to see him as a man.” —Better Days Will Come Again: The Life of Arthur Briggs, Travis Atria Before reading this book, I didn't know much about Arthur Briggs, but now that I have, I feel another piece of history has increased my awareness of a pioneer in the jazz arena. His passion and craftsmanship in the legacy of jazz music should be much more notorious in my opinion, but Briggs was all about the music. Crafting a sound that's influenced others, caring more for the music than for the glory, with the assumption everyone felt the same way. How many times have I heard about Louis Armstrong (although I'd like to read a biography about him now), even recalling with affection some of his most noteworthy musical productions. Briggs taught Armstrong about technique and how to play so as not to fatigue and place so much pressure on the lips when playing. Briggs giving his trumpet to other up and coming musicians because they couldn't afford their own instruments. Or playing for the King of England at Buckingham Palace in 1919. He even played and organized concerts when he was imprisoned in a Nazi prison camp. - “The German guards could not understand the strange power that straightened the spines of their prisoners any more than the American slave driver could understand the power that gave succor to his slaves. The power was the song, the song of the unconquerable human spirit, the song that have birth to jazz. Briggs spent his entire adult life trying to teach Europeans this song. He wanted them not just to hear it or play it but also to feel it.” - 🖤 B | is for Briggs - #SteepedInBlackLitfromAtoZ
We don't know about you, but under-lockdown we are listening to podcasts faster than they can be recorded. . We came across all three series of the BBC's 'Black Music in Europe: a Hidden History'; presented by Clarke Peters, famous for his acting roles in programmes such a 'The Wire'. So far, Peters takes us through over seventy years of history from 1900 up to the 1970s. . Series one focusses on the pre-Windrush history of black music in Europe, when highlife, biguine, and of course - jazz quickly grew in popularity among European audiences. . A key character from the first episode is Arthur Briggs, a highly successful Grenada-born trumpeter who toured Europe during the 1930s. His story is amazing, so we won't spoil it... . You can find the podcast on BBC Sounds, or by copying and pasting the link into your browser: http://ow.ly/qADd50zpqa6 .

"If you've never heard of Arthur Briggs, join the club. After reading Travis Atria's intensely readable, superbly researched account, you sure as hell won't forget him. Atria has uncovered a largely untold, often harrowing tale of jazz, race, and international politics, and he has made it into a nail-biter." —Gary Giddins, author of Bing Crosby: Swinging on a Star and Celebrating Bird: The Triumph of Charlie Parker⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nbt #newbookalert #newbook #newbooktuesday #betterdayswillcomeagain #arthurbriggs #jazz #musicbook #nonfiction #bookstagram #bookphotography #bibliophile #mustread #goodreads

Release day! I was privileged to record the #audiobook to Travis Atria’s great bio of Arthur Briggs, a jazz genius who was captured and detained during the Nazi occupation of France.
I served as advisor on this & the previous series: Black Music in Europe: A Hidden History. - Episode two: - "Black music was THE soundtrack to Europe in the Second World War." - This epi explores the defiant rise of Jazz throughout the continent as Nazism expanded geographically. - An archive int w/ the late Ken 'Snake-hips' Johnson by Una Marson features. They are two of many vital names who reflected the presence & excellence of black creativity & black identity in Europe & Britain in the inter-war years *and* throughout the war. - Jazz singer & songwriter Elaine Delmar recalled the various approaches of British-based Jazz musicians during the period - one that included colour bars. - Elaine is the daughter of Leslie 'Jiver' Hutchinson. Johnson was her god-father. - Professor Catherine Tackley framed the pull of London to musicians who contributed to the growing swell of Jazz's Anglicisation (incl. the use of British musicians - Jewish and black - in recording modern Jazz that the Nazi's used as anti-British and American musical propaganda.) - The late, great, Adelaide Hall is also included, recalling her work with Classical & Jazz composer Fela Sowande who advocated the use of European music to bolster the potential of African Art Music utilising African folk in his amalgamated vision. _ A beautiful episode. - You can hear this episode, episode one AND the previous series on the @bbcsounds app. Both series' overview and episode summaries can be found in my Highlights.📻🎶🎵 - #blackmusic #Europe #reinerlotz #kensnakehipsjohnson #kensnakehips #lesliehutchinson #elainedelmar #jazz #britishjazz #propagandamusic #interwar #interwarmusic #London #UK #Europe #Identity #adelaidehall #felasowande #Africa #africanartmusic #unamarson #history #beguine #highlife #hilife #hotjazz #lordkitchener #arthurbriggs #samwooding #dukeellington #jacquelinespringer
Overview: Black Music in Europe: A Hidden History. Series Two, episode one. - Note: the music featured in this episode were hash-tagged on an earlier post about this second series. They provide the succulent aural backdrop my description renders sterile. - A beautiful creation, all in all. #blackmusic #blackmusicEurope #jazz #arthurbriggs #jazzineurope #interwaryears #jazzandwar #propaganda #tigerbay #denisebrothers #musicsociology #identity #race #racialidentity #place #space #politicsofidentity #racism #antisemitism #musicalfreedom
The *second* series of @loftusmedia's Black Music in Europe began last Wednesday on @BBCRadio4. - The inter, war & post-war years frame European co-option & Anglicisation of a beautiful array of identity through melody from Martinique's Beguine, Ghana's Hi-Life to America's Hot Jazz. - And the rise of Nazism. - You can head to #BBCSounds and find it there. I'll be posting about each episode - as I served as advisor on this beauty. - #music #history #identity #blackmusic #Europe #britishmusic #jazz #beguine #highlife #hilife #hotjazz #lordkitchener #arthurbriggs #samwooding #dukeellington #sammanning #frankdeniz #kensnakehips #denisebrother
