}}Hugues Panassié (27 February 1912 in Paris – 8 December 1974 in Montauban)[1] was an influential French critic, record producer, and impresario of traditional jazz.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Career

Panassié was born in Paris. When he was fourteen, he was stricken with polio, which limited his extracurricular physical activities. He took up the saxophone and fell in love with jazz in the late 1920s.[11]

Panassié was the founding president of the Hot Club de France (1932).

During World War II, the Germans occupied the northern half of France beginning June 1940. The Nazis regarded jazz as low music — music from an inferior people. Jacques Demetre, in the 2014 book by Steve Cushing, Pioneers of the Blues Revival, said that people had expected the Germans to ban jazz entirely. But instead, they only banned American jazz and American tunes.[12] Demetre explained that many American standards were in French with alternate titles. Panassié, for example, managed to keep broadcasting American jazz on his radio station submitting to censors obtuse French translations American song titles, and even relabeling records. Panassié's friend, Mezz Mezzrow, describes a particular example in his 1946 autobiography Really the Blues:

"[The Nazi censors] were shown a record labeled "La Tristesse de Saint Louis," which translates the "Sadness of Saint Louis," and Panassié offered the explanation that it was a sad song written about poor Louis the Ninth, lousy with that old French tradition. What Cerberus didn't know was that underneath the phony label was a genuine RCA Victor one giving Louis Armstrong as the recording artist and stating the real name of the number: "The Saint Louis Blues."[1]

Panassié produced several jazz records by artists that include Sidney Bechet and Tommy Ladnier.

Selected controversies

In a changing world of jazz, Panassié was an ardent exponent of traditional jazz — strictly Dixieland. He harbored a particular love of style similar to that of Louis Armstrong from the 1930s. Panassié criticized West Coast jazz as inauthentic, partly because most musicians were white and also sounded white.[14][15] In his book, The Real Jazz, Panassié ranked Benny Goodman as a detestable clarinetist whose sterile intonation was inferior to black players Jimmy Noone and Omer Simeon. Mezz Mezzrow became Panassié's lone example of a white musician who played jazz authentically.[16] Panassié famously dismissed bebop as "a form of music distinct from jazz."[15][18][19]

{{Reduced pull quote|right|As an extremely gifted musician, Parker gradually gave up jazz in favor of bop …|}}{{Reduced pull quote|right|He [Parker] could play fine jazz in his early days|}}{{Reduced pull quote|right|A gifted musician [Miles Davis], but one who by now has entirely deviated from jazz to 'cool' music.|}}{{Reduced pull quote|right|It would be truer to say that he [Thelonious Monk] was an initiator of bop—for whereas his music harmonically resembles bop, rhythmically it is not. He is an eccentric musician who has strayed far from jazz, but has never completely turned his back on it as the bop players have.|Guide to Jazz (1956)}}

In 1974, he accused Miles Davis, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, and other progressives as being "traitors to the cause of true black music," that, according to Panassié, they claimed to support.[20]

Some historians opine that Panassié hurt musicians by creating a wedge between blacks and whites by his insistence that black jazz was superior. Some authors ridicule his harsh attacks against progressive jazz critics, who he characterized in his Bulletin du Hot Club de France as being full of "crass ignorance," "thick incompetence," and "triumphant stupidity."[21] His ad hominem attacks included phrases that translate to "repugnant glavioteur," "formidable imbecile," and "donkey of the pen."[24][25]

Panassié's political bent

In addition to being a strong exponent of Dixieland jazz, and a harsh critic of jazz musicians who strayed from it, Panassié was an arch-conservative — a staunch monarchist, to the far right of the right. And, he contributed articles to Action Française.[16][27]

Discography

In 1956, RCA Victor published an LP record, Guide to Jazz (LPM 1393), a compilation including 16 recordings by prominent jazz artists with liner notes by Panassiè.
