  Music Rising (musicrising.tulane.edu)

  Music-Rising-at-Tulane is an innovative, multi-platform website on the region's musical cultures to contextualize the region's music. Eighteen courses mapped onto the website, each feature a full complement of materials (syllabus, readings, videos, photographs, and oral histories) to introduce the region's cultural riches. This site documents, preserves, and communicates the sustaining organic factors of Gulf South music and culture

  Center for the Gulf South

  The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South (NOCGS) explores the region's cultural intersections with Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean through research, community engagement and a new curriculum. Often ignored in larger US histories, New Orleans and the larger Gulf South figure uniquely within colonial, regional, national, and global narratives. The Center is home to a brand-new major, the Musical Cultures of the Gulf South, and we are building a field of study focused on the region’s music and culture.

  In the Gulf South, dozens of African ethnic groups created a pan-African American culture that remains the most influential musical culture of the past century. In terms of American musical genres, jazz, blues, zydeco, Cajun, swamp pop and bounce all have their origins here; Gulf Coast musicians have made seminal contributions to ragtime, rhythm-and-blues, rock-and- roll, funk, and hiphop; country and gospel have always flourished here. Brass band music has been central to a New Orleans way of musical communication for over a century, when uplifted horns began to sound out a new freedom,

  New Orleans remains a cosmopolitan urban culture founded in the tripartite colonial mix of European, African, and Native American peoples, stirred by the migrations of Cajuns and Haitians in the early eighteenth century and transformed into a crucial national port by a familiar nineteenth-century ethnic mix of Italians, Jews, Irish, and Polish-Americans. More recently, immigrants from Vietnam and Latin America have become integral to the region's ethnic admixture.

  Coursework

  Jazz, Blues and Literature (Seminar)

  As forms of artistic expression, jazz, blues and literature challenge each reader and listener to consider everyday life as an improvisational challenge. Authors and musicians model for readers and listeners a path for finding one’s voice -- for speaking out within a community and expressing one’s experience from a personal (or subjective) perspective. Kenneth Burke called the reading of literature "equipment for living" and blues theorist Albert Murray adapted this phrase for African-American music. For both, for readers or listeners to engage the themes and aesthetics within literature or blues, they will increase self-knowledge, social understanding, and awareness of others (and Others). This course integrates music, literature, history, race, aesthetics and local traditions -- the relationship of music and place, of sites and sound. We begin at the beginning: exploring the conditions under which jazz and blues arose at the turn of the twentieth century in New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta.

  More information at the course website.

  Sample Unit: The Beats and Jazz
  The literary practice of the Beats owes as much to jazz as to Walt Whitman or William Carlos Williams. Allen Ginsberg wrote the lines of "Howl" to scat along with Lester Young's composition, "Lester Leaps In." On the Road is a novel fueled as much by the jazz of its nightclubs as by the gasoline of its joyrides. In the Beat world, literature and music converged in an attempt to rejuvenate "all these tired faces [seen] in the dawn of Jazz America," Kerouac wrote.
  Jack Kerouac called himself a "jazz poet" in Mexico City Blues (1958) and asked the reader to consider that he is "blowing a long blues in an afternoon jam on Sunday," a song with 242 choruses. Each chorus is limited to a single page, a choice that reflected how a jazz musician must improvise within the chord changes of a given composition. In Kerouac's writing manifesto, "Essentials of Spontaneous Prose," he aspired to the improvisation and stream-of-consciousness of the jazz solo; his objective was "bop prosody" (i.e., bebop prose). The sleeper-hero of MCB is Charlie Parker, the primogenitor of bebop, who he introduces this way: "Charlie Parker looked like Buddha." He presents Parker as the Pied Piper of postwar nuclear apocalypse, an artist who will either save humankind through music or lead everyone off a cliff of their own making.
  The Beat writers rebooted an American Romanticism launched by Emerson and Whitman through the figure of the jazz musician -- emphasizing personal experience over studied expertise and spontaneous self-expression over traditions and conventions. As Charlie Parker famously said "Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.
  John Clellon Holmes' The Horn (1958) remains the most underrated novel about jazz, a roman a clef riffed from the legends of Young, Parker, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, and Thelonious Monk. Young is Edgar Poole, a dying father figure whose self-appointed Romantic sense of individual artistry once fueled the dreams of these younger musicians. In the novel, the saxophone figures as a complex symbol of art, freedom, individuality, dissent, and citizenship, as in this interior monologue of the young Walden Blue.
  Looking at it, he knew it to be also an emblem of some inner life of his own, something with which he could stand upright, at the flux and tempo of his powers…To Walden, the saxophone was, at once, his key to the world in which he found himself, and the way by which that world was rendered impotent to brand him either failure or madman or Negro or saint…sometimes on the smoky stand, between solos, he hung it from his swinging shoulder like one bright, golden wing (5).

  The History of Being Cool in America

  Cool is a vital concept at the intersections of youth culture, popular culture, subculture, and African-American culture. In this course we will explore and analyze how this word and idea became integral to the American self-concept through three generational shifts. The word and its various phrases ("be cool," "play it cool") originally emerged from African-American jazz culture in the 1940s and there was a genre called "cool jazz." These concepts and artistic ideas were crossed over by Beat Generation writers such as Jack Kerouac: being cool was soon associated with the bohemian life of non-conformity, jazz, slang, drugs, and detachment. In the mid- '60s, cool shifted: a younger generation associated cool with rebellious self-expression, especially through sex, drugs (especially) and rock'n'roll. To be cool meant to be anti-authoritarian and to actively defy the mainstream of middle-class materialism. Cool meant "doing your own thing" until the 1980s when corporations began to commodify cool. Now "cool" was assumed to be something you could buy or wear, as if self-expression was simply about buying the right thing.

  Cool has some constant qualities and yet changes meaning every decade: it is a concept in dialogue with generational needs. Do American youth still aspire to be cool? Do you? Is cool still a vital concept in the US or is it dead?

  "AMERICAN COOL"
  Joel Dinerstein's "American Cool" exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
  "American Cool" in the Washington Post
  The Wikipedia entry for "Cool (aesthetic)"
  Does cool come from New Orleans? The roots of jazz, the birth of rock n'roll – one could certainly make a theoretical case for it. Today, however, the question can be taken a bit more literally. "American Cool," a stunning exhibition that opened Feb. 7 at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, is the brainchild of Tulane professor Joel Dinerstein, who spent several years, along with photography scholar Frank Goodyear, curating the project, which features photographic portraits of the hundred Americans the two men deemed most exemplary of that hard-to-quantify quality.

  A companion book, which features a hundred beautifully reproduced photographs along with three lengthy, in-depth essays from Dinerstein and Goodyear on the concept of cool and the methodology that drove the exhibit's selection process, is available now.

  The visual element seems key to the essence of cool: the defiant tilt of a chin, the way a leather jacket hangs, the shadow over a gunslinger's eyes as he pushes into the saloon. Goodyear, in his essay "Shooting Cool: Photography and the Making of an American Persona," talks about the essential role of photography in creating public faces of cool. The abolitionist writer Frederick Douglass, who made the cool hundred, he wrote, used formal photographs of himself – uncommon in the first place for a black man in the 19th century – to craft a persona of "stylish stoicism," and to communicate an image for himself to complement, and emphasize, the ideas he laid out in his work. For example, Goodyear wrote, in photos "he often worked to accentuate his Afro hairstyle in respect to his heritage but also as a reminder to audiences of his difference." Photographic images capture cool, but they also help craft it.

  “American Cool” book party
  What: Tulane professor Joel Dinerstein reads from and signs “American Cool,” the companion book to the National Portrait Gallery’s current exhibit of the same name.
  When: 6 p.m. Friday, February 14
  Where: Maple St. Bookshop, 7529 Maple St.
  Tickets: Free admission.
  At Tulane, where Dinerstein directs both the department of American Studies and the Center for the Gulf South, he's been teaching a multidisciplinary class titled "The History of Cool" for fifteen years. During a recent session, which was filmed for a segment on the exhibition and book for CBS "This Morning," he touched on aspects of cool as a visual display. Why, he asked the class, would Walt Whitman publish his first book with only an illustration of himself, in a confident posture, to introduce himself, an as-yet unknown poet? Why would Johnny Cash dress in black?

  During a recent session of his class, Dinerstein touched on some elements of the metric he and Goodyear used to define cool.

  "Cool is about cultural rebellion," Dinerstein explained. A cool person, he said, "might have been seen as transgressive or rebellious, innovative and edgy in his or her time. They may also have been seen as threatening, like Elvis or Madonna," he said.

  Also, he said, "there's an element of calmness, no matter how difficult the art you're performing is, to be control of any situation with ease and style."

  A plurality of the figures who made the cool hundred, which spans three centuries, come from the cultural sphere: musicians like Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Miles Davis and Tom Waits, for example, writers Dorothy Parker, Zora Neale Hurton and Raymond Chandler, and actors Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp and Buster Keaton, to name only a few. Athletes, including Jack Johnson, Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan also make the grade.

  The innovations of cool folks power the engine of Western popular culture, as Dinerstein laid out in his introduction to the book. "In a given generation, cool figures emerge who embody new strategies of individuality for the cultural environment," he writes.

  But the concept of cool isn't frivolous. Activists like Malcolm X, Frederick Douglass and Angela Davis (and Cesar Chavez, who appears on an index of a hundred more runners-up to the list) also appear, and many of the cultural personalities who populate the hundred have one foot, actively or effectively, in the political.

  The quality of cool, the book argues implicitly, is retroactive, and the first group of honorees in the collection – including actress Louise Brooks, blues singer Bessie Smith and writer H.L. Mencken - made its mark before the word had entered the lexicon. The introduction of the word "cool," with the particular meaning that the project aims at unpacking, arrived via jazz, and not coincidentally, Dinerstein said, during the rise of the civil rights movement.

  In class, Dinerstein emphasized the political power of jazz's transition from hot to cool. The fierce nonchalance of "cool" players like Lester Young (the first musician to popularize the constant wearing of sunglasses) he said, were a repudiation of earlier artists' smiles for the audience, particularly of black performers for a white audience; again, the "stylish stoicism" of Frederick Douglass. Artists whose work directly or indirectly impacted the way we feel about race, gender and moral politics – Lenny Bruce, Madonna, Susan Sarandon – are also heavily represented among the hundred.

  It could be true that the meaning of cool is not dissimilar to what Louis Armstrong once laid out as the definition of jazz: "If you gotta ask, you'll never know." With the gorgeous pantheon represented in the book, as well as the fun but rigorous writing, we're still richer that Dinerstein and Goodyear asked, and answered.

* The Origins of Cool in Postwar America
Joel Dinerstein. Univ. of Chicago, $40 (352p) ISBN 978-0-226-15265-3
Dinerstein (Swinging the Machine) traces the trajectory of the notion of American cool through the cultural milieu of
the 1920s through the early 1960s, emphasizing its deep associations with jazz culture. "Keeping cool" originally
served as a survival tactic against the many injustices of the Jim Crow era, and it found triumphant voices in the
improvisations of jazz heroes like Lester Young and Billie Holiday who refused to cater to the expectations of white
audiences. Dinerstein deftly reveals points of convergence between expressions of cool in jazz, film noir, and
existentialist literature; each rejected societal constructs perceived as inexorably flawed or corrupt (such as capitalism
or the law) and celebrated the "ethical rebel," always a rugged loner. In the 1950s, this rebel ethic shifted focus,
emphasizing instead rebellion against what was perceived as vacuous material culture and consumer society, a
sentiment lucidly expressed in Kerouac's On the Road. Stars like Frank Sinatra (who headlined events for Martin
Luther King Jr. and refused to patronize white-only establishments) gave substance to the celluloid rebels of the noirera,
becoming real-life rebels against racial injustice. Impressively researched and broad in its reach, drawing from
film, music, theater, philosophy, and literature, this book approaches the subject with scholarly authority while
remaining eminently readable. Much more than just a history of cool, this book is a studied examination of the very
real, often problematic social issues that popular culture responds to. 40 b&w halftones. (May)

  The Origins of Cool in Postwar America, by Joel Dinerstein
  Bogie, Billie and Brando had it, but ‘it’ is a quality in constant flux, says Robert Eaglestone

  When I was a teenager I wanted to be cool (who am I kidding? I uncoolly still want to be cool). But if you had told me that cool was “an emergent structure of feeling in postwar America”, as Joel Dinerstein beautifully demonstrates in this superb book, would I have been so keen?

  What made cool cool, Dinerstein argues, is the braiding together of jazz, film noir and existential literature; the first as an African American mask of cool (poise, virtuosity and “a blank facial wall, suggesting both a resistance to white social norms and an inner complexity”); the second, a delayed working-class response to the Great Depression (gritty but righteous loners in an unjust world); the third, an ethical expression of “rebellion-for-others” in 1945, “year zero” Europe after collaboration, genocide and atomic destruction. Cool contains and enacts “truths we don’t know we know”.

  Despite laying out some principles (“cool is…”), the book focuses on honed case studies of “the saints of cool” (as Hannah Arendt argues, we learn more from examples than from principles). Beginning with Lester (“Prez”) Young, it moves on to (drawing a long, uncool breath...) Humphrey Bogart, Albert Camus, Billie Holiday, Simone de Beauvoir, Jack Kerouac, Frank Sinatra, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Lorraine Hansberry and Marlon Brando, with many others in lesser roles (but, man, as the author points out, hero worship is “so uncool”). What gives the book its real flavour is Dinerstein’s understanding of how these roles and characters were interwoven across racial divides, across the Atlantic, over time: Camus-as-Bogart; Eastwood-as-Prez; de Beauvoir learning from Sidney Bechet, Richard Wright and Nelson Algren.

  Dinerstein also traces how early post-war cool (“the public face of survival”) turned, by the late 1950s, to mean something like “generational desire”. In place of control comes the expression of emotion and spontaneity: Brando, James Dean, Elvis (“Just what is it that you want to do? We wanna get loaded and have a good time. We wanna have a party. Yeah!”).

  Where is cool now? While it’s commodified and depoliticised as “an outlaw sensibility for a consumer society”, Dinerstein argues that cool constantly reinvents itself, both as “the password to an American mythos” and as a marker for “iconic rebels”: it’s a “subconscious method for negotiating identity in modernity through popular culture”.

  This accessible, historical and personable book comes, despite its long gestation, at an interesting time in American literary and cultural criticism. To simplify, critics such as Rita Felski suggest that “critique” has run its course: one-sided, overly politicised, “whatever it is I’m against it”, unloving and suspicious of art. Yet this riveting book, perhaps oddly, shares much with the high theory of Sianne Ngai (Ugly Feelings, Our Aesthetic Categories: Zany, Cute, Interesting) and the explicitly political work of Lauren Berlant (Cruel Optimism). They all demonstrate an interest in how the inchoate and changing “structures of feeling” – a phrase from the Welsh Marxist critic Raymond Williams – appear in the present, and how these shape us, our thinking and our engagements with the world: an interest that stems from the idea of critique. These books – and especially Dinerstein’s – are clearly both enamoured with their subject matter and also political, open-eyed and thoughtful. And, while being a literary critic is almost certainly a guarantee of being square (thus, the end of my teenage dreams), that is still pretty cool.

  Robert Eaglestone is professor of contemporary literature and thought, Royal Holloway, University of London.

  Review: 'American Cool' by Joel Dinerstein and Frank H. Goodyear III
  Based on a National Portrait Gallery exhibit, this volume celebrates some awesome American originals

  April 18, 2014|By David Davis
  Duke Kahanamoku hand-carved surfboards out of wood and helped spawn modern surfing. He was an Olympic swimming champ who legitimized aquatic competition. As the "Ambassador of Aloha," he did more to promote tourism in Hawaii than hula dances and leis.

  In other words, Kahanamoku was so original he was cool.

  This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.

  The concept of cool is the focus of "American Cool," a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and a coffee-table book. Co-curators and co-authors Joel Dinerstein and Frank H. Goodyear III employed a "historic rubric" to determine the 100 coolest Americans based on four criteria: These avatars had to possess a signature artistic style, rebel against the societal norm, attain iconic status and leave a cultural legacy.

  Beside Kahanamoku, their roster ranges from obvious (James Dean) to obscure (comedian Bert Williams), from glamorous (Audrey Hepburn) to grunge (Kurt Cobain), from art (Georgia O'Keeffe) to literature (Ernest Hemingway) to sports (Michael Jordan) to geek (Steve Jobs). They offer an "alt 100" of runners-up in the book's appendix.

  Dinerstein and Goodyear picked 100 accompanying photograph portraits, most of which are in black and white, that aesthetic of cool. These images, taken by such acclaimed masters as Alfred Eisenstaedt, Richard Avedon and Robert Mapplethorpe, are striking without being intimate or revealing. It's not John Travolta who's chilling on the subway; it's the Travolta of "Saturday Night Fever." Here, the cool of the pose resonates.

  You won't agree with all of the selections: John Wayne made it over Clark Gable? Why only 23 women? That's part of the let's-start-an-argument charm of the project, although their decision to draw almost exclusively from the entertainer-celebrity category, while itself a comment about how we define cool, seems limiting.

  Ultimately, that distinction matters little. Unlike hip, which started strongly but has devolved into the dreaded hipster, being cool endures.

  David Davis writes about the culture of sport from Los Angeles.

Goodyear III Based on a National Portrait Gallery exhibit, this volume celebrates some awesome American originals April 18, 2014|By David Davis Duke Kahanamoku hand-carved surfboards out of wood and helped spawn modern surfing. He was an Olympic swimming champ who legitimized aquatic competition. As the "Ambassador of Aloha," he did more to promote tourism in Hawaii than hula dances and leis. In other words, Kahanamoku was so original he was cool. This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row. The concept of cool is the focus of "American Cool," a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and a coffee-table book. Co-curators and co-authors Joel Dinerstein and Frank H. Goodyear III employed a "historic rubric" to determine the 100 coolest Americans based on four criteria: These avatars had to possess a signature artistic style, rebel against the societal norm, attain iconic status and leave a cultural legacy. Beside Kahanamoku, their roster ranges from obvious (James Dean) to obscure (comedian Bert Williams), from glamorous (Audrey Hepburn) to grunge (Kurt Cobain), from art (Georgia O'Keeffe) to literature (Ernest Hemingway) to sports (Michael Jordan) to geek (Steve Jobs). They offer an "alt 100" of runners-up in the book's appendix. Dinerstein and Goodyear picked 100 accompanying photograph portraits, most of which are in black and white, that aesthetic of cool. These images, taken by such acclaimed masters as Alfred Eisenstaedt, Richard Avedon and Robert Mapplethorpe, are striking without being intimate or revealing.
