[Dixielandjazz] the Dixieland Jazz dispute revisited

[a. de lasimone]

Bonjour à tous,


How may I dare to give an opinion about that dispute ? I am French, not 
able to write in english, white and, if I have played here and far some 
jazz, I am just a “no-professiona l” cornet player.


Well, the question is why have I been “thunder stroken”, at the age of 
twenty, when I heard Bubber Miley, Bigard, Adelaide hall? Satch and 
hundred of black players?


In France , “l’art Nègre” had also stroken all artistic middles. It was 
absolutely new and different of what our artists used to leave.


About jazz, the fact that the sound issued from an instrument could 
imitate an human voice, shout and cry was absolutely exciting. And, what 
about the very spirit of blues present in any black record? And the 
African way of putting the notes out of time? And Bessie. And…


Baudelaire wrote that what makes Art, is “the ardent sob” . I can hear 
it in that music. Remind “Strange fruit” .


Obviously, white jazzmen where excellent, high tecnic, their music 
welldone, very clean and nice. But, for me, unable to give me a passion 
that last sixty years later...



I beg your pardon for my impudent daring
