About this concert
Jazz is een fascinerende muziekvorm van de zwarte mensen uit de Verenigde Staten, ontstaan aan het einde van de 19de eeuw en wereldwijd bekend geraakt vanaf de jaren dertig van de 20ste eeuw.
Toch heerst er nog veel verwarring over het wezen van de muziek en de muzikanten. Professor Piet Van de Craen (lid van de Antwerpse Jazzclub) brengt dit voorjaar weer boeiende voordrachten rond jazz.
Inleiding: Vrouwen in de kunst in een mannenwereld hebben het nooit makkelijk gehad. De jazzgeschiedenis is geen uitzondering. Vrouwelijke muzikanten hebben het moeilijker dan mannelijke. Zangeressen worden nog net geaccepteerd, dan volgen pianisten maar vrouwelijke trompettisten, saxofonisten, trombonisten en andere instrumentalisten zijn een ander verhaal. Deze afleveringen brengen vrouwelijke jazzartiesten in het centrum van de belangstelling.
Elke causerie wordt uitvoerig geïllustreerd met muziek en beeldfragmenten en voorzien van verhalen of anekdotes. Oudere en nieuwe namen, verrassende klankkleuren en structuren, originele en bizarre kunstenaarsfiguren en vooral veel steengoede muziek die je niet onverschillig zal laten, worden met humor en kennis van zaken voorgesteld.
Elke voordracht wordt voorzien van een uitvoerig syllabus.
Woensdag 6 december 2023: Ethel, Billie, Ella, Helen, Aretha,… Onnavolgbare zangeressen
In de jazzmuziek kennen vrouwelijke zangeressen het meest succes. Soms gekenmerkt door schandalen zoals Billie Holiday, bekend als Lady Day. Soms veroverden ze de wereld zoals Ella Fitzgerald, bekend als the First Lady of Jazz en Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul. Maar in hun schaduw staan anderen, minder bekend maar met grote kwaliteiten, zoals Ethel Waters, Helen Humes. Maxine Sullivan, Juanita Hall, Carrie Smith,… Maar ook hedendaagse diva’s zoals Dianna Reeves, Nicole Rochelle en Samara Joy komen aan bod. Kortom, een overvloed aan - vaak erg miskend en ondergewaardeerd - talent!

Billie Biography
Billie Paul Piper (born Leanne Paul Piper on 22 September 1982) is an English actress. She began her career as a pop singer in her teens, but is now best known for portraying Rose Tyler, companion to the Doctor in the television series Doctor Who until mid 2008. Her role in Doctor Who has made her a household name in the United Kingdom.
Piper's first break in the entertainment world came as a teenager, when she was selected to appear on the Saturday morning kids' television show Scratchy & Co. Piper later landed a role in a television commercial promoting the pop magazine Smash Hits. Her role was to run up to the camera, blow a bubblegum bubble and shout "Pop!" Soon after she was offered a record deal at the age of fifteen, and in 1998 became the youngest artist ever to debut at number one in the UK singles chart with "Because We Want To", released under the artist name "Billie". Her follow-up single "Girlfriend" also debuted at Number One, and her first album, Honey to the B (released immediately afterwards) debuted at Number 14 in the UK album charts. She released two further singles off the album, "She Wants You" and "Honey to the Bee"; both songs debuted at Number 3.
Piper then took a year off to record her second album. She decided to release further records under her full name, Billie Piper. She returned to the Singles Chart in May 2000 with a new, sexier sound. She hit the Number 1 spot with "Day & Night", but her success wasn't to continue. She waited until the following September to release "Something Deep Inside". That reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. In October 2000, Piper released her second album, Walk of Life, which reached Number 14 in the UK Album Chart. The song "Walk of Life", the final single off this album, was released in December 2000 and reached Number 25 in the UK Singles Chart. This proved to be Piper's last musical release, a low-key exit from the world of pop.
In 1999, Piper was nominated for two Brit Awards and was named Best Female Star at the Smash Hits Poll Winners' party, although at the latter ceremony she was reduced to tears after being viciously booed by jealous fans of Ritchie Neville, member of boyband Five, whom she was dating at the time.
