Zusammenfassung: | "Ontario-born jazz pianist Lou Hooper (1894–1977) began his professional career in Detroit, accompanying blues singers such as Ma Rainey at the legendary Koppin Theatre. In 1921 he moved to Harlem, performing alongside Paul Robeson and recording extensively in and around Tin Pan Alley, before moving to Montreal in the 1930s. Prolific and influential, Hooper was an early teacher of Oscar Peterson and deeply involved in the jazz community in Montreal. When the Second World War broke out he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and entertained the troops in Europe. Near the end of his life Hooper came to prominence for his exceptional career and place in the history of jazz, inspiring an autobiography that was never published. Statesman of the Piano makes this document widely available for the first time and includes photographs, concert programs, lyrics, and other documents to reconstruct his life and times. Historians, archivists, musicians, and cultural critics provide annotations and commentary, examining some of the themes that emerge from Hooper’s writing and music. Statesman of the Piano sparks new conversations about Hooper’s legacy while shedding light on the cross-border travels and wartime experiences of Black musicians, the politics of archiving and curating, and the connections between race and music in the twentieth century."-- |

In 1921 he moved to Harlem, performing alongside Paul Robeson and recording extensively in and around Tin Pan Alley, before moving to Montreal in the 1930s. Prolific and influential, Hooper was an early teacher of Oscar Peterson and deeply involved in the jazz community in Montreal. When the Second World War broke out he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and entertained the troops in Europe. Near the end of his life Hooper came to prominence for his exceptional career and place in the history of jazz, inspiring an autobiography that was never published. Statesman of the Piano makes this document widely available for the first time and includes photographs, concert programs, lyrics, and other documents to reconstruct his life and times. Historians, archivists, musicians, and cultural critics provide annotations and commentary, examining some of the themes that emerge from Hooper’s writing and music. Statesman of the Piano sparks new conversations about Hooper’s legacy while shedding light on the cross-border travels and wartime experiences of Black musicians, the politics of archiving and curating, and the connections between race and music in the twentieth century."-- Hooper, Louis 1894-1977 (DE-588)1153518562 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1894-1977 gnd rswk-swf Pianist (DE-588)4131406-2 gnd rswk-swf Jazzmusiker (DE-588)4028535-2 gnd rswk-swf Komponist (DE-588)4032009-1 gnd rswk-swf Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf Hooper, Louis / 1894-1977 Pianists / Canada / Biography Jazz musicians / Canada / Biography Musicians, Black / Canada / Biography Pianistes / Canada / Biographies Musiciens de jazz / Canada / Biographies Musiciens noirs / Canada / Biographies MUSIC / Genres & Styles / Jazz Jazz musicians Musicians, Black Pianists Canada Biographies (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Hooper, Louis 1894-1977 (DE-588)1153518562 p DE-604 Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Jazzmusiker (DE-588)4028535-2 s Pianist (DE-588)4131406-2 s Komponist (DE-588)4032009-1 s Geschichte 1894-1977 z Hooper, Louis 1894-1977 Sonstige (DE-588)1153518562 oth Mills, Sean 1978- (DE-588)1242634584 edt Fillion, Eric (DE-588)1286531853 edt Rochat, Désirée edt Hooper, Louis That happy road Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-0-2280-1916-9 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-0-2280-1915-2 Carleton library series 266 (DE-604)BV043641623 266 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034703990&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
