Abstract

American cinema has long been fascinated by jazz and jazz musicians. Yet most jazz films aren't really about jazz. Rather, as Krin Gabbard shows, they create images of racial and sexual identity, many of which have become inseparable from popular notions of the music itself. In Jammin' at the Margins, Gabbard scrutinizes these films, exploring the fundamental obsessions that American culture has brought to jazz in the cinema. Gabbard's close look at jazz film biographies, from The Jazz Singer to Bird, reveals Hollywood's reluctance to acknowledge black subjectivity. Black and even white jazz artists have become vehicles for familiar Hollywood conceptions of race, gender, and sexuality. Even Scorsese's New York, New York and Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues have failed to disentangle themselves from entrenched stereotypes and conventions. Gabbard also examines Hollywood's confrontation with jazz as an elite art form, and the role of the jazz trumpet as a crucial signifier of masculinity. Finally, he considers the acting careers of Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, and Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington's extraordinary work in films from 1929 until the late 1960s, and the forgotten career of Kay Kyser, star of nine Hollywood films and leader of a popular swing band.

Abstract

"Il y a des musiques de cinéma que nous pouvons fredonner instantanément ... Mais ce que l'on ignore, et qui sera révélé dans cet ouvrage à travers une série d'entretiens passionnants avec des cinéastes et des compositeurs, ce sont les hasards miraculeux ou les conflits intenses, le travail acharné ou les élans d'inspiration qui ont présidé à d'inoubliables morceaux d'anthologie. L'idée de ce livre, c'est aussi de montrer que la même complicité peut s'instaurer entre les cinéastes et les compositeurs de tous les types de cinéma, des Aventures de Rabbi Jacob mises en musique par Vladimir Cosma aux oeuvres exigeantes d'Atom Egoyan et Claire Denis en passant par les succès planétaires des musiques d'Ennio Morricone"
