Jazz in Song: The Standard
NPR – Jan 16, 2008
org January 23 2008 – Jazz has always thrived on a bedrock of popular songs — tunes drawn from the blues and bossa nova from Tin Pan Alley and contemporary rock from Broadway musicals and R&B. Over time certain songs prove strong and popular enough to earn a place in the standard jazz repertoire. Between the 1920s and 1940s before television and the rock ‘n’ roll revolution Broadway and Hollywood musicals provided many of the most enduring standards. These were also formative years for jazz which had a close if difficult relationship with the Great White Way and Tinseltown with significant cross-pollination between genres. “The Golden Age of Popular Song” was roughly between 1920 and 1960; during that time American songwriters such as Irving Berlin Cole Porter and the Gershwin brothers hit their stride and jazz interpreters including Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Billie Holiday followed the lead… and this was certainly true for the country’s music. The decade marked the arrival of The Beatles and rock music the birth of Motown and an enormous influx of sounds from Mexico France Brazil and around the world. Meanwhile the popularity of Broadway and Hollywood stage plays began to wane. Despite the growing dominance of rock soul R&B hip-hop and country in American popular music jazz’s standard repertoire has stood the test of time while simultaneously expanding its scope to include the compositions of great pop songwriters such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney Stevie Wonder Marvin Gaye and Elton John. In today’s jazz climate there is a bit of a backlash for musicians who rely too heavily on “Golden Age” hits without acknowledging contemporary songs or writing original material. But a few artists have discovered just the right mix in a delicate artistic balancing act.
