Book excerpt: Author Robert Dietsche is a Toledo born jazz historian and jazz critic who has resided in the Portland, Oregon area most of his life. Tatum's Town is the jazz history of his hometown, Toledo, Ohio, a city well known for producing and supporting great jazz. Well-researched and heavily illustrated with photographs of Toledo's jazz greats and jazz hotspots, Tatum's Town offers an exciting look at Toledo's jazz heritage from 1915 through the 1970s.Written with a sense of rhythm and finesse, Dietsche vividly describes Toledo's infamous after hour joints, speakeasies, and dive bars, as well as the town's classy night clubs, cocktail lounges, ballrooms, and supper clubs. Dietsche tells the lost history of the town's brothels, gaming halls, and jute joints, Toledo's notorious underside, where Toledo's jazz was born. Toledo's great jazz venues, the Trianon Ballroom, Centennial Terrace, Chateau La France, Kim Wa Low's, Fifi's, Aku-Aku and Rusty's Jazz Café are fondly recalled. The book provides a history of Toledo's most famous jazz personalities including Candy Johnson, El Meyers, Buddy Sullivan, Gene Parker, Bill Takas, Jimmy Harrison, and the "Queen of Toledo Jazz", Margaret "Rusty" Monroe. The lives of the author's talented Toledo high school friends, the jazz greats Arv Garrison, Charlie Mewhort, and Bob White, as well as the future movie and book critic, Fred Lutz, are chronicled. Dietsche details the life of the greatest jazz piano player who ever lived, the renowned Toledoan, Art Tatum. This jazz narrative makes it quite clear why Toledo is Tatum's town. Dietsche is author of Jump Town: The Golden Years of Portland Jazz, 1942-1957. Dietsche owned and operated downtown Portland's legendary used record store, Django Record Company, from 1977 to 1999.
Download or read book Here Today written by Jeffrey B. Schmidt and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Oklahoma runs through the thousands of towns that sprang up in the wake of statehood and even before then—readable in the traces of bygone days, if you know what to look for. In Here Today, Jeffrey B. Schmidt conducts readers, armchair travelers and adventurers alike, through places that tell Oklahoma’s story: towns all but disappeared, waning, or persisting despite the odds. Part travelogue, part field guide, part history, the book—replete with photos, maps, and GPS coordinates—documents the rise and fall of one hundred of these towns, from the arrival of pioneers and settlers to the rise of buildings and businesses to the decline that came with natural disasters, manmade crises, and cultural change. Schmidt provides an enlightening look at what has made these towns work—the role of roads and railways, public schools and churches, community building and commerce, and, perhaps most significant, the official recognition that a post office conferred. He notes the oil strikes, coal mines, intriguing crimes, violent weather, and twists of fortune that played into the fate of each; points out the landmarks that still stand and the shadows of those that have succumbed to indifference, destruction, or the passage of time; and puts the story these towns tell into the larger context of westward expansion, Native American history, and, in the case of the many all-Black towns, discrimination and segregation. Whether visiting ghost towns or small towns that still draw on the power of rural resilience to survive and even thrive, Here Today offers a rare chance to travel through the state’s history before its remnants may be gone tomorrow. Representing the extraordinary extent of Schmidt’s research, legwork, and mining of archives and data sources, the book preserves for all time a vanishing vision of Oklahoma.
