Sandy Brown Jazz

[Some omputers might ask you to allow the music to play on this page]

The term 'Riverboat Shuffle' was presumably based on the bands that originally played for people on the Mississippi riverboats, but was possibly coined by Hoagy Carmichael when he gave one of his compositions the name. Apparently, in the spring of 1924, Bix Beiderbecke came to Indiana University where Hoagy booked him to play a series of ten fraternity dances, and the two became fast friends. It was for Beiderbecke that Carmichael wrote his first piece, calling it Free Wheeling. Beiderbecke took it with him to Richmond, Indiana (100 miles to the East), home of the early record company, Gennett Records, waxed it with his seven-piece band, “The Wolverines” and changed the name to Riverboat Shuffle.

Here's Bix playing Riverboat Shuffle .

Hoagy's lyrics for the song said:

Good people, you're invited tonight To the riverboat shuffle Good people, we got rhythm tonight At the riverboat shuffle They tell me that slide-pipe tooter is grand Best in Louisiana So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band Mister Hawkins on the tenor Good people, you'll hear Millenberg Joys In a special orchestration Even mama Dinah will be there to strut for the boys In a room full of noise She'll teach you to shuffle it right So, bring your baby I'll be seeing you at the riverboat shuffle tonight

'The artistes who travel down on the 'Royal Daffodil' will return on the 'Royal Sovereign' and vice versa so that you will be able to see and hear all the bands and artistes at some time during the day.'

'Throughout the cruise the ships' bars will be open and drinks and food can be obtained all day. Luncheons, dinners and high teas will be served in the dining saloons but if you prefer to bring your own food you are quite at liberty to do so.'

The ships were scheduled to leave Tower Pier around 9.30 am, returning twelve hours later, allowing two hours ashore at Margate. '... the actual time of arrival back cannot be guaranteed owing to the tidal conditions in the Estuary.'

The price of tickets was £2 each and it was possible to pay by instalments. Under that plan, people could send 10/- deposit with the balance paid 'when you like, provided that all the money is in our hands by 1st June.'

Ken said: 'Having mis-spent my youth in the North London Jazz clubs of the 1950s, I always enjoy people's recollections of those times.'

The Riverboat Shuffle photograph above comes from clarinettist Alex Revell who says: 'Thought you might like to include this one. Taken on a riverboat shuffle. Don’t remember the date, but sometime in the late forties, or very early fifties, certainly before 1953.  Left to right: it’s Owen Maddox (I think), Chris Barber, me, Humph, unknown (I think a trombonist), Owen Bryce. Just to the right of Owen B  is his wife.'

Pete Ward said: 'In Alex Revell's photo, the un-named riverboat musician appears to me to be Bernie Newland. He was certainly in the London area at that time. I came across him again in the Taunton area in the '60s, and again in the Bristol area in the '70s.  I understand that he went to live in Germany sometime later, but I'm told that he is no longer alive.'

Were You On The 1955 Riverboat Shuffle?

Chris Watford clarinettist and bandleader sent us this photograph of the Sandy Brown Band playing a Riverboat Shuffle and wonders if anyone recognises themselves or can remember the event?

Chris says that the event was back in the 1950s. 'It was from Westminster that we started, travelling up river, possibly as far as Maidenhead. I believe this was a 2-band session shared with the Dave Carey jazz band. If a piano solo was in progress when the boat passed under a bridge, the band would grab their instruments and join in, with a wonderful ensemble sound bouncing off the underneath of the bridge arches!

I recognise Sandy on clarinet and Al Fairweather on trumpet, despite being stripped to the waist - it was a sweltering hot day! The stern of the boat was crammed with beer-guzzling youngsters - happy days! I think this was the summer of 1955, but it could have been the previous summer'.

Were you there? 2013.9

There is footage of the Dutch Swing College band playing on a riverboat shuffle. 'A fragment from "Jazzbanditen"; the story of the "Basin Street Club", Düsseldorf, Germany. Made by Bodo Ulrich 1958. A Riverboat Cruise with the Drachenfells. In the backgroud the "Dutch Swing College Band" with a live version of Sandy Brown's " African Queen " with the amazing Jan Morks.'

'Quite by chance (I’m not sure how) I came across your Facebook page announcing the sad death of Doreen Beatty. Some years back I ran a paddle steamer website (bear with me, it’s worth the wait) cataloguing British pleasure steamers. In the 1960’s my late Grandfather’s employers ran ‘Floating Jazz’ cruises on some of their steamers in an effort to try and attract back some of the trade they were losing due to the rise of the motor car and cheap package holidays. On at least one of these cruises Doreen Beatty sang with the Mike Daniels Delta Jazzmen, on the evening of Sunday 25 June 1961, on the way back from Margate.

My website disappeared overnight when my ISP withdrew the ‘Freespace’ they had offered and hours of work almost disappeared with it. However, fortunately, someone at the British Library foresaw this and invited hobbyist sites such as mine to be archived by them for future researchers. As such, most of the site is still available, although you really do need to know where to look! Even more fortunately, one of my contributor’s father was on the cruises and took lots of pictures which he allowed me to share, subject to accreditation, in the public domain on my site. Now, here comes the punchline….Doreen was photographed singing with Mike Daniels and the picture is still viewable! The archived site also has other Jazz singers from the cruises. For this link please click here and you might find more to interest you.' 2021.3

Eric Jackson adds these memories:

One memory is of a group of lads keeping pace on the towpath and shouting out their request for Skin Deep which was a big band drum feature popular at the time. [ Click here to listen to Louie Bellson playing Skin Deep with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in the 1950s]

The other memory was turmoil  at one of the locks as the captain  emerged in full Captain Bligh mode to bellow 'get off my ship' to us  gaggle of squiffy revellers.

Riverboat Shuffles were still being organised before the Coronavirus pandemic arrived in 2020 and hopefully will in due course start again.

If you have memories of a Riverboat Shuffle - please let us know .

Riverboat Shuffle - Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra (Bix Beiderbecke, Eddie Lang) (1927)

Louis Armstrong - West End Blues

1.) After listening to each piece, how does each song represent the era known as the "Age of the Soloist?"  In other words, what happens in each piece that exemplifies it as a solo song?

2.) Compare and contrast the two pieces.  What do they have in common? What is different about each one?  Make sure you use proper jazz terminology and give examples from the music and/or the text to support your answer.

Answer & Explanation

1. The "Age of the Soloist" in jazz music was characterized by the emergence of individual performers who were virtuosos in their respective instruments and who took the lead in jazz compositions. "Riverboat Shuffle" by Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra (featuring Bix Beiderbecke and Eddie Lang) exemplifies this era by featuring solos from both Beiderbecke on cornet and Lang on guitar. The soloists take turns improvising over the course of the composition, showcasing their technical abilities and musical creativity.

"West End Blues" by Louis Armstrong is another example of the "Age of the Soloist," as it prominently features Armstrong's virtuosic playing on the trumpet. The song opens with a memorable solo introduction by Armstrong, and throughout the piece, he continues to improvise and showcase his skills as a performer.

2. Both "Riverboat Shuffle" and "West End Blues" feature solos from virtuosic musicians, which is a hallmark of the "Age of the Soloist." However, there are also some key differences between the two pieces. "Riverboat Shuffle" has a more ensemble-oriented feel, with a strong rhythm section supporting the solos from Beiderbecke and Lang. "West End Blues," on the other hand, has a more improvisational feel, with Armstrong taking center stage and filling the composition with his virtuosic trumpet playing.

Another difference between the two pieces is the musical style. "Riverboat Shuffle" is a more traditional jazz composition, characterized by its upbeat swing rhythm and blues-influenced harmony. "West End Blues" is more experimental, incorporating elements of blues and African American spirituals into its sound.

In terms of jazz terminology, both pieces showcase improvisation, a key aspect of jazz music. Improvisation involves creating music on the spot, often by drawing upon elements of the song's melody, harmony, and rhythm. The solos in both "Riverboat Shuffle" and "West End Blues" demonstrate the performers' technical prowess and musical creativity, making them excellent examples of the "Age of the Soloist."

✅️ Approach to solving the question:

As your tutor, my suggestion to you would be to approach the questions of the main topic by taking the following steps:

😇 Familiarize yourself with the "Age of the Soloist" in jazz music: Before diving into the specific pieces you are tasked with analyzing, it's important to have a good understanding of the historical context and musical characteristics of the "Age of the Soloist." Read up on the history of jazz music during this era and familiarize yourself with the musical styles and trends that were prevalent at the time.

😍 Study the specific pieces you are analyzing: Listen to "Riverboat Shuffle" and "West End Blues" multiple times and take detailed notes on the musical elements that you hear, including melody, harmony, rhythm, and form. Pay close attention to the solos of Bix Beiderbecke, Eddie Lang, and Louis Armstrong, and take note of the unique stylistic and technical qualities that each musician brings to the table.

😉 Research the musicians and their impact on the "Age of the Soloist": Learn more about the careers and musical influences of Bix Beiderbecke, Eddie Lang, and Louis Armstrong, and consider how they each contributed to the "Age of the Soloist" era. Read up on their musical backgrounds, influences, and innovations, and think about how these factors influenced their approach to the solos in the pieces you are analyzing.

😊 Use proper jazz terminology: In your analysis of the pieces, be sure to use proper jazz terminology to describe the musical elements you are hearing. This will help you to more effectively convey your understanding of the music and demonstrate your mastery of the subject.

🤗 Compare and contrast the pieces: In your final analysis, compare and contrast "Riverboat Shuffle" and "West End Blues," taking into account their musical elements, the solos of the individual musicians, and the historical context of the "Age of the Soloist" era. Be sure to use specific examples from the music to support your analysis and use proper jazz terminology to describe the musical elements you are hearing.

✅️ Detailed explanation:

1. "Riverboat Shuffle" by Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra, featuring Bix Beiderbecke and Eddie Lang, is a prime example of the "Age of the Soloist" in jazz music. This era, which took place in the 1920s and 1930s, was characterized by the emergence of individual performers who stood out for their virtuosity and creative abilities. In "Riverboat Shuffle," Beiderbecke and Lang showcase these qualities through their solos, which are featured prominently throughout the composition.

Beiderbecke's cornet solo, in particular, is noteworthy for its technical proficiency and lyrical phrasing. He employs a variety of techniques, such as the use of the upper register and a smooth, legato sound, to create a solo that is both virtuosic and emotionally expressive. Lang's guitar solo is similarly impressive, with his fingerpicking style and inventive use of dissonance adding to the overall effect.

By highlighting the solos of Beiderbecke and Lang, "Riverboat Shuffle" demonstrates the centrality of individual musicians in the "Age of the Soloist." The soloists take turns improvising over the course of the piece, creating a lively and engaging musical conversation that showcases their skills as performers.

2. In contrast to "Riverboat Shuffle," Louis Armstrong's "West End Blues" is a more focused and experimental take on the "Age of the Soloist" concept. This piece places Armstrong's virtuosic trumpet playing front and center, with the composition built around his improvisations. The song opens with a memorable solo introduction by Armstrong, which sets the stage for the rest of the piece.

Throughout "West End Blues," Armstrong showcases his creative abilities as an improviser, drawing upon elements of blues and African American spirituals to create a unique and captivating musical statement. He employs a wide range of techniques, from growling to scat singing, to create a sound that is both technically proficient and emotionally expressive.

In many ways, "West End Blues" represents a departure from the ensemble-oriented feel of "Riverboat Shuffle." While both pieces feature solos from virtuosic musicians, "West End Blues" places a greater emphasis on the performer's individual creativity and musical vision. This emphasis on the soloist, combined with Armstrong's innovative use of blues and spirituals, makes "West End Blues" a standout example of the "Age of the Soloist."
