Book excerpt: The Cuchat family of Dave, his wife, Martha, and children Robert (Bub) and Faye faced a direct threat from the local klan when a contingent of sheeted and hooded figures marched in military fashion and lined up on the road in front of the Cuchat's dance pavilion and little house. The leader made two charges: 1) David Cuchat operated an evil business, a dance pavilion, that threatened the morals of 100 percent Americans; 2) David Cuchat was a Catholic and thus was loyal to the Pope at Rome, not to the government of the United States. Told to leave with his family in one week or suffer the consequences, Dave declared to the klan his right as a U.S. citizen to operate a legal business and to attend a church of choice. To demonstrate how he would protect his family and his business, he blasted a series of clay pigeons out of the air with deadly accuracy. The klan left quickly. During the anxiety-filled summer, in which Dave's alcoholism added to the tension, his friends strove to help him short-circuit klan activities. In September, however, the family's constant fears were realized and they were plunged into numbing despair - a despair, though, that quickly turned to hope when their neighbors offered the Cuchat family a chance to build a new and larger place to dance and possibly other attractions on the shores of Lake Buffalo. Thirteen-year-old Bub tells the story.

Download or read book Jelly s Blues written by Howard Reich and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jelly's Blues vividly recounts the tumultuous life of Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941), born Ferdinand Joseph Lamonthe to a large, extended family in New Orleans. A virtuoso pianist with a larger-than-life personality, he composed such influential early jazz pieces as "Kansas City Stomp" and "New Orleans Blues." But by the late 1930s, Jelly Roll Morton was nearly forgotten as a visionary jazz composer. Instead, he was caricatured as a braggart, a hustler, and, worst of all, a has-been. He was ridiculed by the white popular press and robbed of due royalties by unscrupulous music publishers. His reputation at rock bottom, Jelly Roll Morton seemed destined to be remembered more as a flamboyant, diamond-toothed rounder than as the brilliant architect of that new American musical idiom: Jazz.In 1992, the death of a New Orleans memorabilia collector unearthed a startling archive. Here were unknown later compositions as well as correspondence, court and copyright records, all detailing Morton's struggle to salvage his reputation, recover lost royalties, and protect the publishing rights of black musicians. Morton was a much more complex and passionate man than many had realized, fiercely dedicated to his art and possessing an unwavering belief in his own genius, even as he toiled in poverty and obscurity. An especially immediate and visceral look into the jazz worlds of New Orleans and Chicago, Jelly's Blues is the definitive biography of a jazz icon, and a long overdue look at one of the twentieth century's most important composers.
