This is the first comprehensive examination of the remarkable singing groups in the U.S.A., Canada, and Europe known as "barbershoppers." In both male and female a capella quartets and choruses, the barbershop singers concentrate on a song literature that was popular in the period 1860-1930. Their purpose is spelled out in the title of a male group founded a half century ago in Oklahoma: the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA). Today, the SPEBSQSA consists of approximately 40,000 men in the United States and Canada, with affiliated chapters in thirty other nations. Two women's groups who share the ideology of the SPEBSQSA are Sweet Adelines International and Harmony, Inc. The entertainment provided by these groups - in both concert performances and international competitions - is enjoyed by a wide public. In 1988 a special committee began to reexamine SPEBSQSA's basic purposes and organization - vis a vis social and aesthetic changes. The committee members decided to create for this reexamination a task force of distinguished scholars with expertise in sociology, ethnomusicology, and music education. Each scholar was invited to research barbershopping as it related to a specific discipline. The historian emeritus of the SPEBSQSA was asked to provide a broad history of the movement. Their work is presented in the current volume - a book that will be of interest to many people: educators, musicians, counselors, social scientists, historians, recreationists, health workers, gerontologists, and - of course - the 75,000 men and women who call themselves barbershoppers.

The barbershop style of singing offers many tools to enhance the knowledge and skills of the classically trained singer. And the barbershop singer can learn from the training a classical singer would receive at a music school or in private lessons. By studying both forms of singing, a performer can expand his or her arsenal of ways to express and communicate an idea. The African American historical roots of barbershop singing and European historical traditions of classical opera singing can commingle to help modern day classical performers gain beneficial skills, especially concerning improvisation. A newcomer to barbershop singing may discover that singing techniques already learned in classical singing can be utilized in barbershop singing as well. The techniques of overtone reinforcement and vowel matching used in barbershop singing can aid the classical singer's understanding of intonation, resonance, and beauty of sound. Through experimentation with the voice parts in barbershop, a classically trained singer can discover and narrow the determination of his or her own voice type, thus empowering him or her to choose repertoire better suited to his or her voice. Many performance practices from the classical bel canto school of singing are transferable to barbershop, and vice versa. A classical singer can learn performance-enhancing techniques from barbershop coaches and judges in competitions. By investigating historical roots and current practices of both classical and barbershop singing, a singer can gain enlightening concepts for the improvement of his or her performance craft.

Throughout his life, Louis Armstrong tried to explain how singing with a barbershop quartet on the streets of New Orleans was foundational to his musicianship. Until now, there has been no in-depth inquiry into what he meant when he said, "I figure singing and playing is the same," or, "Singing was more into my blood than the trumpet." Creating the Jazz Solo: Louis Armstrong and Barbershop Harmony shows that Armstrong understood exactly the relationship between what he sang and what he played, and that he meant these comments to be taken literally: he was singing through his horn. To describe the relationship between what Armstrong sang and played, author Vic Hobson discusses elements of music theory with a style accessible even to readers with little or no musical background. Jazz is a music that is often performed by people with limited formal musical education. Armstrong did not analyze what he played in theoretical terms. Instead, he thought about it in terms of the voices in a barbershop quartet. Understanding how Armstrong, and other pioneer jazz musicians of his generation, learned to play jazz and how he used his background of singing in a quartet to develop the jazz solo has fundamental implications for the teaching of jazz history and performance today. This assertive book provides an approachable foundation for current musicians to unlock the magic and understand jazz the Louis Armstrong way.
