William Carter’s Preservation Hall: Re-discovered Treasures
Riverwalk Jazz guest and longtime friend William Carter is a gifted fine art photographer as well as jazz clarinetist. He was an early supporter of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band in California during the 1970s and 80s. He collected historical and original black & white photographs and thoughts from this era in his 1991 book, Preservation Hall: Music From the Heart, unfortunately now out of print.
Now an avid photo blogger, Carter has made available to us a re-discovered treasure of photos, like the one above of Preservation Hall member Jim Robinson with an enthusiastic fan. None of these wonderful shots made it into the book. Many are his Kodachrome slides from that era.
New Book by Stephanie Nakasian Due Out This Fall
Jazz diva Stephanie Nakasian, featured in our June 6 show on Walter Donaldson songs, wrote her 2000 “jazz vocal manual” It’s Not On the Page!, she says, “because I was doing a lot of workshops in schools where teachers and students were trying to ‘read’ jazz without really knowing it first. Mainly it’s about listening to internalize the rhythm of jazz.”
This fall, Stef follows up with her second book, You Already Know How to Sing: Voice Lessons—Life Lessons, in which she shares more than twenty years of experience teaching private voice lessons to non-classical students at the University of Virginia, the College of William and Mary and other venues.
