• W3038874843 abstract "Reviewed by: Live at the Cellar: Vancouver's Iconic Jazz Club and the Canadian Co-operative Jazz Scene in the 1950s and '60s by Marian Jago Eric Fillion Marian Jago, Live at the Cellar: Vancouver's Iconic Jazz Club and the Canadian Co-operative Jazz Scene in the 1950s and '60s (Vancouver: UBC Press 2018) Live at the Cellar adds depth and resonance to the Canadian jazz soundscape by decentering the two cities most commonly associated with this music north of the border with the United States: Toronto and Montreal. In this book, Marian Jago, lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, examines the burgeoning scenes that developed around artist-run clubs in Vancouver (The Cellar, Black Spot, and Flat Five, among others), Edmonton (Yardbird Suite), Calgary (Foggy Manor), and Halifax (777 Barrington Street) from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s. The Cellar occupies centre stage in this social history of youth culture and jazz cooperatives, because of its significance as a cultural hub for musicians and non-musicians alike as well as its role in paving the way to a pan-Canadian scene rooted in regional networks. The book's accessible prose and lively narrative, augmented with the voice of many protagonists, aims to speak to a wide readership. In the process, it provides substance to the symbolic importance of the scenes it discusses while enriching our understanding of the transnational circulation of jazz as both a social practice and an art form. [End Page 302] Divided into three parts, Live at the Cellar begins with the theoretical framework that informs the author's study of jazz cooperatives; namely, the concept of scene, which is deployed here to locate and describe the essential human relationships and social structures that enable particular localized forms of socio-cultural activity … to occur. (15) Jago then discusses the local political context (from inadequate west-east transportation infrastructure to time-worn post-prohibition legislation) that favoured the emergence of unlicensed bottle clubs, a type of social venue that inspired Vancouver jazzophiles in their efforts to combat relative geographical isolation through music. Part 2 contains four chapters, all of which deal nearly exclusively with The Cellar: its mission, membership, modes of operation, and meaning as a place of encounters and creation. Considering the importance accorded to that venue, Part 3 could have served as an effective epilogue since its sole chapter takes readers on the road, heading east from Edmonton to Calgary and Halifax to juxtapose these cities' scenes against those of Montreal and Toronto. Careful not to overstate her point about the pan-Canadian nature of early jazz cooperatives, the author defines these initiatives as incubators that developed somewhat synchronously due to the music's growing appeal as a shared and immediate experience that could foster self-reliance and vibrancy in artist communities across postwar Canada. (248) Jago's use of the concept of scene, which she borrows from the fields of cultural sociology (Andy Bennett) and communications studies (Will Straw), is a judicious one in that it helps delimit the sites, identify the historical actors, and reveal the interactions (local, translocal, and virtual) that allowed artist-run cooperatives to thrive. As a case study, The Cellar opens a window into the inner workings of a musically imagined community with boundaries of its own. It is here that the distinction between space (the physical site itself) and place (the symbolic and socio-cultural representation of the scene environment) finds its clearest expression. Although Jago eschews class as a category of analysis, she does examine the performative and constitutive effects of jazz cooperatives on musicians' and audiences' self-perception and sense of belonging. A socially constructed marker of difference, race inevitably factors into this story, though the question of whiteness in jazz – tied up here with the question of cultural appropriation – appears insufficiently problematized in the book. As for the gendered dimension of the Vancouver scene, from the articulation of androcentric discourses to the performance of heteromasculinity, Chapter 4 discusses it at length, but readers seeking a more trenchant analysis will need to browse through the endnotes where the author interrogates the entrenched notions of gender and the performance of hegemonic masculinity that..." @default.
