Vision, memory, and attention. During one of these appearances, in at Clark Monroe's Uptown House, Parker's improvised performance of "Cherokee" was captured on an acetate disc recorded by Jerry Newman, a Columbia University student. As evidenced by the recording, Parker's solo was breathtakingly fast and fluid, demonstrating an unrivaled feel for the new modern sound that Gillespie and his disciples were crafting in Harlem clubs. By the summer of , Gillespie was experimenting with new chord voicings and harmony while Parker was exploring how to phrase solos differently and infuse the blues into virtually every solo he played.

Both Parker and Gillespie had just about perfected their new approach to jazz when their ambitions to record were halted. In August the American Federation of Musicians launched a job action against record companies that prohibited all union musicians from recording. The ban was the culmination of a fifteen-year battle the AFM had been waging over new sound-recording technologies that had displaced thousands of musicians. Bebop in would have to wait a little longer to be recorded. In the years preceding World War II, music had become the country's most affordable form of entertainment.

Movies were popular, too, of course, but they had two big drawbacks: They could not be viewed at home, and you had to pay each time you wanted to see them. By contrast, music could be heard for free-again and again-after the initial purchase of a radio, phonograph, and records. As radio networks expanded their reach nationwide in the s, music became an even more popular pastime, with millions of Americans listening to the same programs at the exact same time, often in the comfort of their living rooms.

As the quality of recorded music improved, starting in the late s with the introduction of the electronic microphone, the recording and radio industries prospered. Network radio featured live performances of musicians in their studios while records allowed consumers to hear favorites artists on their own phonographs and on jukeboxes in public. The two media-radio and records-worked hand in hand, and sales of both soared. From to , the bandleader Duke Ellington appeared more than two hundred times on the radio, establishing himself as a formidable recording artist and major crossover attraction.

But radio and records spelled trouble for the vast majority of average musicians who earned a living performing in theaters, taverns, and other public places in America's small towns and big cities. Owners of bars or restaurants who added a radio, phonograph, or jukebox to their establishments no longer had to worry about musicians' salaries or the rules imposed by the musicians' union. They simply flipped a switch and turned up the volume. In , soon after radio sets began to be mass-produced, the American Federation of Musicians' president promised members that there was "absolutely nothing to fear from radio.

Radio will have the same result as the phonograph But after the development of electric recording equipment in the mids, the sound of records began to improve dramatically, as did the at-home phonograph. During this period, the simplicity and affordability of the radio made it a family necessity. In there were radio stations in operation in the United State, and radios in more than four million households, or about 10 percent of the total, leaving enormous room for growth.

In the struggling UIB was sold and renamed CBS by its new owner, which expanded the network by emphasizing dramatic programming for the at-home market. In its infancy, radio was a mess. Signals weren't uniform, causing one station to override another on the dial as the number of operators increased. With the passage of the Radio Act of , the government began to license stations, bringing order to the near-chaotic market and the signals beamed by stations.

With efficiency came a well-ordered radio dial, leading to a surge in sales. In three hundred thousand employees worked in twelve hundred radio plants, most of them in seven major cities. By some plants were producing a thousand radios a day. The first significant threat to musicians from technology came in That year, Warner Brothers introduced its Vitaphone sound-picture system in short-subject films, laying the groundwork for the "talkie" movie.

From the start, music for talkies was recorded at movie studios in California and then synchronized to the action in films. The new technology's impact took a little time but ultimately proved devastating for movie theater organists and orchestras. The number of musicians employed to accompany silent films in movie houses around the country began to drop precipitously. Within a few years of the Vitaphone's launch, an estimated twenty-two thousand musicians-half of the instrumentalists employed by movie theaters at the time-were out of a job.

Smaller movie theaters continued to play the older silent movies with live music behind them. The big theaters got the new movies with the sound. But as the years went on and talkies took hold, the live orchestras were cut down to smaller groups, and then to just a violin and piano and drums for local theaters.

Finally, the work just dried up. As soon as talkies began to take hold, the Hollywood studios started to hire their own orchestras. My dad heard about opportunities in the studio orchestras out there, so he packed up our family and moved us to Los Angeles. The trend toward recorded music only accelerated with the repeal of Prohibition in As the number of bars proliferated, so did the number of jukeboxes installed.

The modern commercial coin-operated machines had first emerged in after electronic microphones improved the fidelity of recordings and the electric amplifier made built-in speakers possible. The jukebox's popularity surged during the s-not only in bars but also in restaurants, hotel lounges, and anywhere people ate and drank. By the late s, the company was rolling out up to seven new models a year. During the Depression, as the popularity of radio, records, talkies, and jukeboxes continued to grow, unemployment among musicians increased.

For the American Federation of Musicians, fewer musicians collecting wages meant fewer members paying union dues, and a decline in membership meant the AFM would have less clout. The federal government tried to aid musicians with the Works Progress Administration's Federal Music Project FMP , which from to employed nearly 12, musicians in symphonies, small orchestras, brass bands, and opera or choral groups. But the effort led by Washington did little for musician employment overall.

By an estimated percent of the AFM's , members were unemployed. No other occupation in America had ever faced such a threat from technology. In most industries, technology helped workers make more products faster. For example, a car built on a newly outfitted Detroit assembly line required the labor of autoworkers to operate the machinery. With the radio, records, the phonograph, and the jukebox, however, a single master recording made by musicians could be used to press millions of copies of the same song with no further participation of the original workers-in this case the musicians-in their production.

In addition, consumers could play those recordings repeatedly at home with no need for a new copy, no further payments to make, and no new efforts on the part of the musicians who made the original recording. In other industries, workers could be retrained to operate new methods of automation. But the new recording and playback technologies produced no alternative jobs for musicians. Instead, jobs that had been available to musicians, in silent-movie theaters, on the radio, and in other public places, simply disappeared as recorded sound made those positions unnecessary. By the s radio posed the largest threat to musicians' jobs, especially as records began to be played on the air.

The AFM had little choice but to either fight the trend or face the real threat of marginalization and diminished power. After complaining to the restaurant's owner that the unauthorized performance was in violation of the copyright law, Herbert was told there was no copyright infringement because no admission had been charged at the door. In retaliation, Herbert and composers and 22 music publishers formed ASCAP, which would be responsible for collecting fees from orchestras, theaters, and anyone else who wanted to perform members' compositions in public for profit.

In the s the courts expanded the composers' right to collect such fees from radio. But as the popularity and profits of radio surged in the s, ASCAP reversed itself, demanding not only a fixed royalty fee but also a percentage of a station's commercial income. Fearful of depending on songs written by ASCAP composers and having to pay royalties with no end in sight, the radio industry formed Broadcasters Music Incorporated BMI in to generate its own inventory of songs and to form a lower-cost alternative to ASCAP's near-monopoly over radio.

Although ASCAP proposed a substantial reduction in the fee it charged smaller stations, it announced a new 7. The networks viewed the fee as a tax, and when the ASCAP royalty agreement with radio expired at the end of , the networks refused to renew it under the new terms. For ten months-from January to October the country's three existing radio networks subsisted entirely on live and recorded music written by BMI composers or tunes in the public domain. Phonograph records and radio transcriptions-recordings of performances for replay on the air after their initial airing-had been used during the s by radio stations.

But court cases during the decade continually attempted to halt or restrict the on-air use of records. By then nearly nine hundred radio stations were in existence, with five hundred of them representing more than 90 percent of the income of the broadcasting industry. Despite all the fuss, ASCAP's battle with radio had barely made a dent in the profits and expansion of the radio industry. Throughout the s the AFM had waged its own war with radio and the recording industry to slow the erosion of jobs.

The battle in Chicago was particularly heated. Since the s, the city had been an entertainment and recording center, and a hotbed of union activism. In the Chicago local secured a deal with the radio industry ensuring that all recordings would be destroyed after a single broadcast. Additional airplays of records were allowed only after a station hired a "stand-by" orchestra of live musicians, whose number was equal to that of the musicians on the record. Inspired by the Chicago local's success, the national AFM in filed lawsuits in an attempt to limit the play of records to home phonographs only and prohibit their repeated on-air use by radio stations.

When the courts failed to rule on the litigation, the more militant Chicago local, in February , forbade its members from recording, stating that the prohibition was needed to halt the "menacing threat" of recorded music. Although a nationwide ban of records and radio was also considered, it was averted when the networks and their affiliates agreed, in August , to increase their budgets significantly over the next two years to hire studio musicians. The AFM may have been winning small battles here and there, but the union had dramatically overstepped its bounds.

In the Department of Justice declared that the collective agreement between the AFM and radio was illegal, the union's demands an incursion on radio's freedom of speech. As a result, the AFM's favorable agreement with radio was not renewed. After ASCAP lost its own battle with radio in , the AFM realized that any assault on radio in the future was unlikely to succeed in Washington, especially after December, when America entered the war and radio was increasingly viewed as essential to national communication and security.

But in other efforts the AFM was undaunted. In , with the naming of James Petrillo, the former Chicago union leader, as the new national president, the AFM embarked on a series of moves to consolidate its power, annexing other musicians' unions around the country and successfully pressuring the country's largest nonunion orchestra, in Boston, to join.

Although radio was the greatest threat to AFM jobs and clout, the union needed to aim at a better target. In , bypassing radio as the source of its woes, the AFM went after radio's most profitable source of content: The AFM's position was that unless the recording industry was stopped, radio would continue to find ways to play records instead of live music on the air, resulting in a steady drain of dues-paying musicians.

In , if you flipped on a radio to listen to music, chances are you heard a record playing. Although today such an occurrence hardly seems worth noting, the trend was worrisome back then. In the s recorded music was rarely aired on the radio during the day. Most radio stations employed orchestras full-time to generate much of the music they broadcast. As records became more popular, however, more radio stations began spinning them.

When the Federal Communications Commission conducted a survey of of the radio stations in operation in , it found that while the average station devoted 76 percent of its broadcast time to programs containing music, more than 55 percent of those programs used recorded or transcribed music. What's more, of the stations that were unaffiliated with the networks relied on recorded music for over 80 percent of their musical programs.

Increasingly, the only jobs available to musicians who weren't employed by bands, radio stations, and movie recording studios were low-paid teaching jobs and local gigs. From the union's standpoint, unless something was done to stanch the decline of dues-paying members, it would have diminished power to enforce the rules governing pay, hours, and staffing-and record companies and other employers would surely flout them. More important, the smaller the union's membership, the less influence it would have in Washington.

From the AFM's standpoint, the only way to halt the drain was to slow the growth of radio, records, and jukeboxes. The most effective way to improve the lot of the whole, the union believed, was to prohibit its elite members from recording. The AFM had begun to explore the possibility of a nationwide ban on recording at its convention, winning a green light from members a year later at its summit.

In June the president of the AFM, James Petrillo, fired the first salvo, sending a letter to all the record companies, stating that "your license from the American Federation of Musicians for the employment of its members in the making of musical recordings will expire on July 31, , and will not be renewed.

From and after August 1, , the American Federation of Musicians will not play or contract for any other forms of mechanical reproductions of music. With America at war on two fronts, the Department of Justice tried to head off the AFM's planned job action by filing an antitrust suit against the union. But a federal district court and then the Supreme Court dismissed the suit. But in truth, there was little Congress could do, especially when the influential American Federation of Labor, in October , endorsed the boycott and the collective struggle of musicians at its annual convention.

What made the AFM's recording ban particularly ingenious was the union's lack of stated terms for a resolution. Rather than issue a document outlining what it wanted, the AFM merely banned all recording by its members and remained mum on the conditions that needed to be met for recording to resume. Given the union's volatile history with radio, part of its initial strategy was to see whether a ban would force radio to increase its use of live musicians.

By remaining silent, the union also hoped to dodge Congress's growing animus toward labor and unions in general. The timing of the AFM's move was brilliant.

Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology, Volume IV

Just after the start of World War II, America's unions collectively had promised Washington that there would be no strikes against wartime manufacturing. But because it did not issue the terms of its job action, the AFM technically was not on strike. Union members could still play in orchestras and bands, and their performances often were carried live on the radio.
