| Zusammenfassung: | "The life and career of Black jazz musician and big band leader Ernie Fields of Tulsa as told by and to his journalist daughter, who drew on interviews and tapes he made of himself recalling his band's days on the road touring Oklahoma, the American South, and elsewhere in the United States" "There was a time when countless young people in the Midwest, South, and Southwest went to dances and stage shows to hear a territory band play. Territory bands traveled from town to town, performing jazz and swing music, and Tulsa-based musician Ernie Fields (1904-97) led one of the best. In Going Back to T-Town, Ernie's daughter, Carmen Fields, tells a story of success, disappointment, and perseverance, extending from the early jazz era to the 1960s. This is an enlightening account of how this talented musician and businessman navigated the hurdles of racial segregation during the Jim Crow era. Because few territory bands made recordings, their contributions to the development of jazz music are often overlooked. Fortunately, Ernie Fields not only recorded music but also loved telling stories. He shared his "tales from the road" with his daughter, a well-known Boston journalist, and his son, Ernie Fields Jr., who was carried on his legacy as a successful musician and music contractor. as much as possible, Carmen Fields tells her father's story in his own voice: how he weathered the ups and downs of the music industry and maintained his optimism even while he faced entrenched racial prejudice and threats of violence. A devoted husband and family man, Ernie Fields also respected and appreciated his fellow musicians. The book includes a "Roll Call" of his organization's members, based on notes he kept about them. Going Back to T-Town is a priceless source of information for historians of American popular music and African American history" |

Territory bands traveled from town to town, performing jazz and swing music, and Tulsa-based musician Ernie Fields (1904-97) led one of the best. In Going Back to T-Town, Ernie's daughter, Carmen Fields, tells a story of success, disappointment, and perseverance, extending from the early jazz era to the 1960s. This is an enlightening account of how this talented musician and businessman navigated the hurdles of racial segregation during the Jim Crow era. Because few territory bands made recordings, their contributions to the development of jazz music are often overlooked. Fortunately, Ernie Fields not only recorded music but also loved telling stories. He shared his "tales from the road" with his daughter, a well-known Boston journalist, and his son, Ernie Fields Jr., who was carried on his legacy as a successful musician and music contractor. as much as possible, Carmen Fields tells her father's story in his own voice: how he weathered the ups and downs of the music industry and maintained his optimism even while he faced entrenched racial prejudice and threats of violence. A devoted husband and family man, Ernie Fields also respected and appreciated his fellow musicians. The book includes a "Roll Call" of his organization's members, based on notes he kept about them. Going Back to T-Town is a priceless source of information for historians of American popular music and African American history" Fields, Ernie 1904-1997 (DE-588)1280019603 gnd rswk-swf Ernie Fields Orchestra (DE-588)1321828527 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1904-1997 gnd rswk-swf Bandleader (DE-588)7628944-8 gnd rswk-swf Posaunist (DE-588)4351420-0 gnd rswk-swf Jazzmusiker (DE-588)4028535-2 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Tulsa, Okla.
