Courtesy of the Louisiana State Museum 1978.118(8).05935. Bottom: Lorenzo Tio Jr.’s 1925 Solo on “Red Man Blues” with the A. J. Piron’s New Orleans Orchestra, measures 5-9. Tio’s use of blues and gospel scales and lower neighbor tones to the third of the subdominant reflects an engagement with a distinctly African American, blues-based language prevalent in early jazz. Based on recordings of prominent swing bands of the era, his move to Harlem soon after this time period would have deepened his commitment and mastery of this language. This solo was transcribed by the author in dialogue with Charles Kinzer. From Piron’s New Orleans Orchestra, “Red Man Blues,” Victor (19646-B), 1925. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/ec672a26-456b-45e7-9ff0-b95fc61b2852/Screenshot+2024-01-28+at+10.52.16%E2%80%AFAM.png Musicians' Stories - Lorezno Tio Jr. - Make it stand out Lorenzo Tio Jr. https://www.brassrootsdemocracy.com/home daily 1.0 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/bc31c1dd-39a0-457a-888a-80ecdefa41a2/brassroots-mockup.webp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/c1b67d73-c29e-4e80-bd60-3be94843b64f/Screenshot+2024-01-28+at+9.28.31%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/bfa72953-d02a-4963-bef2-50615bc86112/reid-vazquez-1-modified.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/af6b23b5-5951-4787-9e04-7a37ec934ffc/Rediker-headshot2-modified.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/eea23914-5203-460f-8ef5-55361e33d743/Sakakeeny2_2022-modified.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/58d0ca04-822b-408a-b383-88fb7c37240f/Robin_DG_Kelley-QA-backpage.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/fdc1284e-1f79-4803-95c0-0a9e0bc98b9c/Barson+Shot.high+rez.jpg https://www.brassrootsdemocracy.com/about daily 0.75 2024-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/a30aa2db-f63d-4472-8577-90b6811f010f/Fig+3.0.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b65c9aba645b4f0fe906ed/8958174f-bc3b-4c2a-898a-0ae7c7daac4f/Pages+from+Barson_cvr_3+%281%29.jpg https://www.brassrootsdemocracy.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-01-28 https://www.brassrootsdemocracy.com/donate daily 0.75 2025-05-09
