Sol Hoopii - Farewell Blues 2:52
Sol Hoopii - Hula Girl 3:06
from Hawaiian Music (Honolulu - Hollywood - Nashville 1927-1944)
Music of Hawaii
The music of Hawaii includes an array of traditional and popular styles, ranging from native Hawaiian folk music to modern rock and hip hop. Hawaii's musical contributions to the music of the United States are out of proportion to the state's small size. Styles like slack-key guitar are well known worldwide, while Hawaiian-tinged music is a frequent part of Hollywood soundtracks. Hawaii also made a contribution to country music with the introduction of the steel guitar.[1] In addition, the music which began to be played by Puerto Ricans in Hawaii in the early 1900s is called cachi cachi music, on the islands of Hawaii...

Though she didn't call it third stream, and it wasn't associated with the genre, Hazel Scott was another musician who found a successful way to blend jazz and classical influences. Scott took classical selections and improvised on them, a practice dating back to the ragtime era.
Hazel Scott
Calling All Bars (Leonard Feather) 2:51
Hungarian Rhapsody Nº 2 in "C" Sharp Minor (Franz Liszt) 3:23
Hazel's Boogie Woogie 2:21
C Jam Blues (Barney Bigard / Duke Ellington) 3:47
from Complete Jazz Series 1939 - 1945
A brilliant pianist who also had a warm singing voice, Hazel Scott gained some recognition in the early '40s for her swinging versions of classical themes. This valuable CD has all of her early recordings through May 1945, most of which have been rarely reissued. Scott is first heard on four songs with a pickup group organized by Leonard Feather called the Sextet of the Rhythm Club of London. While that unit features clarinetist Danny Polo and altoist Pete Brown, the next 16 selections (four of which are V-discs) put the spotlight entirely on Scott, who is backed by either J.C. Heard or Sid Catlett on drums. She shows off both her technique and her creativity on six classical works, swing standards, and a couple basic blues originals, singing on "People Will Say We're in Love" and "C Jam Blues." The final four numbers are quite a bit different as Scott is showcased as a fairly straight and sophisticated singer with orchestras conducted by Toots Camarata. Overall, this CD is highly recommended, reminding today's listeners how talented a pianist Scott was in her early days.

Blues guitar simply would not have developed in the manner that it did if not for the prolific

brilliance of Lonnie Johnson. He was there to help define the instrument's future within the genre and the genre's future itself at the very beginning, his melodic conception so far advanced from most of his prewar peers as to inhabit a plane all his own. For more than 40 years, Johnson played blues, jazz, and ballads his way; he was a true blues originator whose influence hung heavy on a host of subsequent blues immortals.
Lonnie Johnson
Swing Out Rhythm (Lonnie Johnson) 2:37
Devil's Got the Blues (Lonnie Johnson) 2:58
Blues in My Soul (Lonnie Johnson) 2:57
The Loveless Blues (Lonnie Johnson) 3:15
from Blues In My Soul 1937/1946
Although Johnson is in peak form on this collection spanning from the mid-1930s to the mid-1940s, many of the tracks are plagued by poor fidelity, making the set somewhat difficult for casual fans to digest and more for dedicated listeners.

Casey Bill Weldon
Somebody Changed The Lock On That Door 3:22
Two Timin' Woman
from Slide Guitar Swing (1927-1938)
Steel guitarist Will Weldon is remembered as Casey Bill Weldon, and was also known in his time as Kansas City Bill and Levee Joe. "Casey", like "KC" or "Kaycee," referred to his links with the Kansas City music scene, although he could just as easily have been named after Pine Bluff, AK where he was born in 1909, or Atlanta or Memphis where he made his first recordings in 1927 after performing in medicine shows throughout the south. Inspired directly by the great Peetie Wheatstraw, Weldon was equally adept at expressing himself as a passionate blues singer and as a honky-tonk "country" performer who contributed to the development of Western swing. He was sometimes billed as the Hawaiian Guitar Wizard...

Cleoma Breaux Falcon - Il a Vole Mon Traineau 3:01
Amédé Breaux - Jolie Blonde 3:04
Ségura Frères - A Mosquito Ate Up My Sweetheart 2:58
from Cajun Louisiane 1928-1939
Cajun music
Cajun music (French: Musique cadienne), an emblematic music of Louisiana played by the Cajuns, is rooted in the ballads of the French-speaking Acadians of Canada. Cajun music is often mentioned in tandem with the Creole-based zydeco music, both of Acadiana origin, and both of which have influenced the other in many ways. These French Louisiana sounds have influenced American popular music for many decades, especially country music, and have influenced pop culture through mass media, such as television commercials.

Highly popular blues and jazz vocalist of the 1930s & '40s who fronted the Count Basie band
Jimmy Rushing
Blue Devil Blues 2:47 Walter Page
Boogie Woogie 3:16 Jones-Smith Incorporated
I Left My Baby 3:14 Count Basie
from Jimmy Rushing the Band Singer 1929-1940
Rushing, the daddy of Kansas blues and thus, of R&B, was a singer of power and flexibility. He sang with the Blue Devils, with Benny Moten, even with Benny Goodman, but above all with the greatest of the Count Basie bands. Classic or unknown it's all splendid, both vocally and instrumentally, but the Basie cuts are wealth beyond compare.

from War Clouds Vol 2 1940 -1944
During the year 2000, more than 30 Django Reinhardt collections were released by more than 20 different companies. One of the more specifically focused entries, EMI's War Clouds, Vol. 2 concentrated upon the guitarist's wartime output. What you hear on this collection is authentic Parisian Gypsy swing, some of it involving big bands rather than the standard "Hot Club" Quintet format, created under what must have been challenging circumstances. Nearly six months into the Nazi occupation of Paris, Django Reinhardt and his companions in swing were openly defying the cultural and racial policies of the Third Reich when "Pour Commencier" was recorded on December 18, 1940...

The 1943 volume of this series kicks off in a pop vein with Tommy Dorsey (and Frank Sinatra) on "There Are Such Things," ... And the perennially popular Xavier Cugat and his instrumental rhumba version of "Brazil" is also a reminder of the first cinematic use of that song (long before Terry Gilliam), in The Gang's All Here... and Dooley Wilson ("As Time Goes By," taken right off the film soundtrack)...

Marlene Dietrich’s worldly, half-spoken vocal style made her a the ultimate femme fatale vocalist for nearly half a century. The most exotic actress of the 1930s and '40s, Marlene Dietrich performed her cabaret act around the world and recorded for Decca, Columbia and Capitol in the post-war period, after her film career had slowed. A thick German accent and her odd sung-spoken vocal style proved no barrier to international popular success and adoration.
Marlene Dietrich
Wenn Die Beste Freundin 3:12
Wo Ist der Mann 3:09
from Marlene Dietrich 1928-1933
Although we mostly think of Marlene Dietrich as an exotic and mysterious actress who began appearing in films way back in the 1920s, she had a surprising amount of success as a vocalist too. Although her singing voice might have been somewhat of an acquired taste for listeners, it was certainly distinctive, and music would play a big part in her long career...

The 1930s were shaped by the contrasting moods of the Great Depression and the glamorous beginnings of Old Hollywood. Popular music was equally impacted by these forces and as home radios became more common, the music industry began to keep track of and measure the popularity of sheet music and records through sales...

from Integrale Django Reinhardt, Vol. 3: 1935 (2002)
Django Reinhardt best-of collections are fairly easy to come by, and if all you want is a nice, manageable assortment of instrumentals that show off his amazing technique, go for it: you've got a hefty selection of samplers to choose from. Fremeaux & Associes' 20-volume, 40-disc Integrale Django Reinhardt series, on the other hand, exists as a detailed chronological map of his recording activity over a quarter-century, including virtually all of his work as sideman and accompanist. Volume three focuses on nearly seven months out of the year 1935, a busy time for Reinhardt...

Josh White began as a Southern bluesman but eventually evolved into an eclectic, urbane artist. Many listeners were unaware of White's status as a major figure in the Piedmont blues tradition. The first part of his career saw him as apprentice to some of the greatest blues and religious artists ever, including Willie Walker, Blind Blake, Blind Joe Taggart (with whom he recorded), and allegedly even Blind Lemon Jefferson. On his own, he recorded both blues and religious songs...

from Blues Singer 1932-1936 (1996)
The suave and debonair blues sex symbol in his earliest and purest period, when the Piedmont influence was at its peak in his playing. This is strong stuff, eons away from the collegiate crowd-pleasing folkie stuff he engaged in during the '60s: "Milk Cow Blues," "Lazy Black Snake Blues," and "Silicosis Is Killin' Me" are acoustic solo blues of a consistently high quality, and there are a few religious tunes thrown in to spotlight the other side of White's early recording activities.

One of the legendary unrelated Smith singers of the 1920s, Clara Smith was never on Bessie's level or as significant as Mamie but she had something of her own to offer. She began working on the theatre circuit and in vaudeville around 1910, learning her craft during the next 13 years while traveling throughout the South...

Although renowned as one of the world's great practical jokers (he once called a couple dozen bass players with an alleged gig and asked them to show up with their instruments at a busy street corner just so he could view the resulting chaos), Joe Venuti's real importance to jazz is as improvised music's first great violinist. He was a boyhood friend of Eddie Lang (jazz's first great guitarist) and the duo teamed up in a countless number of settings during the second half of the 1920s, including recording influential duets.

Wild Cat (Eddie Lang / Joe Venuti) 2:57

This particular slice of the Joe Venuti & Eddie Lang chronology presents some of their all-time best instrumental performances garnished with a small bouquet of precious novelties...  Venuti's lyrically inspired handling of the violin and Lang's virtuosic guitar still sound surprisingly fresh and imaginative. These earliest Venuti and Lang collaborations exude a special sort of positive energy that is unique in all of classic jazz. Some of the instrumental tracks feel like well-organized, improvised hot chamber music...

from The Genesis of Rock 'n' Roll - Vol. 1: Roots 1 (1927-1929)
Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in the United States in the early to mid-1950s. It derived most directly from the rhythm and blues music of the 1940s, which itself developed from earlier blues, boogie woogie, jazz and swing music, and was also influenced by gospel, country and western, and traditional folk music. Rock and roll in turn provided the main basis for the music that, since the mid-1960s, has been generally known simply as rock music.
The phrase "rocking and rolling" originally described the movement of a ship on the ocean, but it was used by the early 20th century, both to describe a spiritual fervor and as a sexual analogy. Various gospel, blues and swing recordings used the phrase before it became used more frequently – but still intermittently – in the late 1930s and 1940s, principally on recordings and in reviews of what became known as "rhythm and blues" music aimed at black audiences. In 1951, Cleveland-based disc jockey Alan Freed began playing this music style while popularizing the term "rock and roll" to describe it... (WikipediA)

1900s-1920s

The greatest female blues singer of all time, with a passionate voice and thundering delivery.   The first major blues and jazz singer on record and one of the most powerful of all time, Bessie Smith rightly earned the title of "The Empress of the Blues." Even on her first records in 1923, her passionate voice overcame the primitive recording quality of the day and still communicates easily to today's listeners (which is not true of any other singer from that early period). At a time when the blues were in and most vocalists (particularly vaudevillians) were being dubbed "blues singers," Bessie Smith simply had no competition.
Bessie Smith
Down Hearted Blues 3:29
Aggravatin' Papa 3:16
Baby Won't You Please Come Home 2:59
from Down Hearted Blues (Columbia Recordings, Vol. 1) 1923-1924
...Listening to these recordings 80 years down the road offers us a brief glimpse of American vocal arts at ground zero. Smith’s phrasing derived from that of the Delta blues singers crossed with Vaudeville. Listening to these sides is like hearing Robert Johnson after Led Zeppelin. It is the epiphany of realizing that there is nothing new under the sun and that sometimes the original is best left alone. The sonics of these old recordings have been improved by technology, but not enough to remove the sepia tone from the music. This is music so strong and vibrant that it emerges from the murk of decades.

Ida Cox (born Ida M. Prather, 1888 or 1896 - 1967) was an American singer and vaudeville performer, best known for her blues performances and recordings. She was billed as "The Uncrowned Queen of the Blues". 
Ida Cox
Any Women's Blues 3:33
Blue Monday Blues (Eddie Boyd) 2:45
from Ida Cox Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1923)
Ida Cox was one of the most powerful blues singers of the 1920s, ranking just below Bessie Smith. The Document label has reissued all of Cox's 1920s recordings on four CDs, leaving out many of the alternate takes (since there are a great deal from 1923-24) to be put out on a later series. The first CD has the master takes of all of Cox's recordings from 1923, plus four alternates.

The Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB) was a Dixieland jazz band that made the first jazz recordings in early 1917. Their "Livery Stable Blues" became the first jazz record ever issued. The group composed and recorded many jazz standards, the most famous being "Tiger Rag". In late 1917 the spelling of the band's name was changed to Original Dixieland Jazz Band...

In early 1916 a promoter from Chicago approached clarinetist Alcide Nunez and drummer Johnny Stein about bringing a New Orleans-style band to Chicago, where the similar Brown's Band From Dixieland, led by trombonist Tom Brown, was enjoying success.[9] They then assembled trombonist Eddie Edwards, pianist Henry Ragas, and cornetist Frank Christian. Shortly before they were to leave, Christian backed out, and Nick LaRocca was hired as a last-minute replacement.

1940s-1930s

Comedienne, iconic 1950s movie sex symbol, and appealing interpreter of flirtatious vocal ballads.  Although film actress and Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe has been the subject of a large number of albums, she rarely stepped into a recording studio to make a commercial recording and only appeared in five real movie musicals (with a few other musical performances in her straight films), making for a total record and soundtrack output of less than three dozen titles that are recycled endlessly along with bits of movie dialogue and radio and TV appearances on the frequent reissues.

The Big Bang! The Birth of Rock and Roll
In the early 1950s, a new form of music exploded onto the scene, exciting a growing teenage audience while startling many others who preferred the music of Bing Crosby and Patti Page. Popularized by disc jockey Alan Freed in 1951, the term "rock and roll" came to be used to describe a new form of music, steeped in the blues, rhythm and blues, country, and gospel. Teenagers fell in love with this new sound, listening to it on transistor radios and buying it in record stores. Many parents believed that this music was simply noise that had a negative influence on impressionable teens. Either way, it became clear that rock and roll was here to stay, bringing with it important changes. Examine the impact of rock and roll, and explore how the birth of this new music influenced and was influenced by technology, teen culture, race, and geography...
