IFC Ball afcbuioV Piiiielaod ef s Pace For By ROGER HENKLE Copy Editor Louis Armstrong, one of the gi ants of American jazz, will give University students a taste of "Dixieland" jazz at the Interfrater nity Council Ball Friday. Dixieland is the first and most influential "school" of American jazz. Since jazz may be said to be essentially melodic improvisa tion on a certain distinct hythm, Dixieland is as close to its origins as any type of modern - day music. The actual beginnings of jazz are unclear. Certainly the background of African native rythms were car ried into the United States by the slave - trade Negroes. But the chord - structure and the melo dy clearly developed out of Amer ican and English folk - music. The work song of the men on the levees and the railroads was th first form of the "blues." which later became the core of most jazz work. The Negro plantation work ers of the South began to pick up the messages of the Bible, ana work them into spirituals. This curious combination w worK snn sniritnal and minstrel tune became, in the late nineteenth cen- turv. the blues sons, and then Dix ieland. The name, Dixieland, grew out of the name originally given the South bv Neero slaves sent there by Johaan Dixie. In New Orleans, the Dixie was an Ameri canization of the French word dix, which was printed on New Orleans ten-dollar bills. New Orleans was the home of Dixieland and the birthplace of jazz. From 1897 to 1917, a district of New Orleand called "Story- ville was set aside by law tor li censed Destitution. The district fil led up with Negros who began to get together into little groups to play blues songs. ' These were part - time musicians Language Society To Hear Readings Phi Sigma Iota, Romance Lan guage! honor society, will meet Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge of the Student Union.

This era was filled with almost- legendary musicians who poured out heartsful ot jazz in tne Doraei los and bars of Storyville. "Jelly Roll" Morton, King Oliver, and Sid ney Bechet ruled the jazz world. At that time, too, the young Louis Armstrong got his start. Armstrong was born on July 4, 1900, in New Orleans. He bummed around the French Quarter, playing a guitar for pennies, until, in 1914, he was sent to a Waif's Home, where he learned to play the cor net. After that, Louis hung around King Oliver, picking up enough knowledge of music and feeling for iazz to reriace Oliver when the King went to Chicago. Armstrong played on riverooats and cabarets in New Orleans until 1922, when he joined Oliver in Chi cago. Chicago was then the jazz center of the nation, and Louis played with all the great bands, Oliver, Fletch Henderson and Kid Ory. He formed his own group, cal led the "Hot Five," and recorded in 1925. From then on Armstrong's life has b-en a drifting path from place to place. Sometimes leading his own band, sometimes playing with others, he has toured the United States and Europe, keeping up oa all the jazz movements and evolv ing with his music. Armstrong sometimes called "Satchmo," "Pops!" or "Dipper mouth" is generally considered the top trumpetist in American jazz. The "riffs" and "stretching. ouis , ana impruvisauuuo vi jijv ieland have largely come from him. Jazz has changed a lot since the early days in New Orleans, but Armstrong has been a pace - set ter most of the way. The Brubecks and the Gillespies of modern jazz have split away from Dixieland, and for almost ten years, since the "swing" period of the forties, there has been a schism in jazz. Now, the new leaders of jazz, like Mel Powell and Ruby Graff, httve tried to knit to gether the two branches, and are re discovering Dixieland. The most authentic Dixieland is still the- Louis Armstrong type. With a new troupe, he will appear Friday at the Turnpike Ballroom from 8:30 to 12 p.m. to play at the IFC ball. Tickets are now on sale at $3.25 in fraternity houses. ' -f,) ' . t - I via.
