102 y/o Dancer Sees Herself on Film for the First Time Hotney 1 Streams • 3 years ago

UPDATE: A book featuring Alice has come out! The author Susan visited her before she passed, and it's a fascinating history of the importance of 'soundies' films. So amazing Alice could be a part of bringing all these artists of color the recognition they deserve! Link here: https://iupress.org/9780253058....546/soundies-and-the

UPDATE: Alice passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 6th, 2016. She spent the last day of her life in good spirits, enjoying listening to music and having her mail read to her. Thank you to all the thousands of fans who sent in cards, flowers, and art. You truly gave her deep joy and meaning in the last years of her life!

Alice Barker was a chorus line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance of the the 1930s and 40s. She danced at clubs such as The Apollo, Cotton Club, The Zanzibar Club, and on Broadway—with legends including Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Although she danced in numerous movies, commercials and TV shows, she had never seen any of them, and all of her photographs and memorabilia had been lost over the years.

After years of searching we found three "Soundies" Alice appeared in and were finally able to show them to her — she had never seen herself in motion in her life!

You can learn more about Alice at the little website we've set up for her: http://www.alicebarkernotbaker.com/

All of Alice's films from this video are collected here: https://youtu.be/rpg5D0AAA2w

For more info about the dancers of the Harlem Renaissance, we recommend the lovely documentary "Been Rich All My Life" —several of the women in the film danced with Alice back in the day!

A little more about the who's who here: "We" are friends of Alice who searched for the films and made this video. I'm David Shuff, a volunteer who visits the home with my therapy dog Katie, and have known Alice for 8 years. The woman in the video is Gail Campbell, a recreation therapist (and an amazing one at that!). She never gave up on finding Alice's films, and uncovered the first piece of the puzzle that lead to us finding them — which was Alicia Thompson; a historian of black female performers who had been looking for Alice for years (her site is http://forclassicmovieloversonly.trip... and her YouTube channel is "MusicandDancing4Ever"). She told us that Alice was in films called 'soundies'.

Using that clue I found jazz historian Mark Cantor of http://jazz-on-film.com and he was able to send us three of Alice's soundies from his collection. Shortly afterwards Alicia got us a few more films.

This video was filmed on cellphones (and almost as an afterthought!) by my friends Darin Tatum and Tom Hunt.

Bhaskara 86 (Indonesia) at the North Sea Jazz Festival • 13-07-1986 • World of Jazz Hotney 1 Streams • 3 years ago

Bhaskara is the name of a music group from Indonesia that plays musicin the Jazz-fusion genre. Formed in 1985, with the name Bhaskara 85, this group was listed as the first Indonesian music group that appeared at the prestigious arena of the North Sea Jazz Festival.

From Wikipedia Indonesia:
This music group appeared for the first time in Taman Ismail Marzuki, on July 2 - 3, 1985 with the initial formation: Kiboud Maulana (guitar), Udin Zach saxophonist, Bambang Nugroho and Didi Hadju as keyboard players, Karim Suweileh (drums), Perry Pattiselanno on bass, Luluk Purwanto (violin and voice), Dullah Suweileh (percussion), and the main vocalist is Nunung Wardiman who happened to study in France at the time.
They performed 12 songs, including "Live is too short to worry", "Japanese child", "Daughter", "Samba in Bali" and "Es Lilin" with a re-arrangement. Bhaskara's presence in the middle of 1985 was inextricably linked to the role of Black Maulana, who acted as the show and supervisor producer of the group.

In 1985 they left for the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague, the Netherlands under the responsibility of Peter F. Gontha of PT. Bhaskara music production. It turned out that the performance of Bhaskara '85 was reasonably successful until the chairman of the North Sea Jazz Festival, Paul Acket, asked the group to return to the festival next year. For the second time, the Bhaskara 86 formation has undergone a slight change. Fortunately, Bhaskara 86 got a broader stage than the previous year. Luluk is again the star of their performance. The compositions are considered the color of personality music that is typical of its elements in Indonesia. After the North Sea Jazz Festival Bhaskara went again to the recording studio, followed by shows in various cities in the country.

Personnel:
Joko WH, guitar
Mates, bass
Banbang Nugroho, keyboards
Didi Haju, keyboards
Udin Sach, saxophone & flute
Karim Suweileh, drums
Dullah, Percussion
Luluk Purwanto, violin, vocals
Vonny Sumlang, vocals

Recorded live by AVRO TV at the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague, The Netherlands 13 July 1986
