Abstract

Introduced in the 1963 Marvel comic Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, Gabe Jones is ‘one of the first “normal” black people in comics. […] I mean not a racist caricature’, in the words of African-American writer Reginald Hudlin. The Harlem-born Jones was written as a professional jazz trumpeter who had learned to play from none other than Louis Armstrong. At some point during the Second World War, the Howling Commandos help repel a Nazi invasion of Wakanda, the African nation ruled by Marvel superhero Black Panther, with whom Jones strikes up a personal friendship. This piece takes the form of a 1000-word entry on Jones for a fictional Encyclopedia of Jazz Marvels. It speculates the effect that contact with an Afrofuturist utopia like Wakanda might have had on the subsequent evolution of an African-American jazz musician, leading to the birth of an imagined genre—Vibop—in the early 1950s. By parodying the formal qualities of journalistic writing on music and comics, the piece speculates on the boundaries of fiction in jazz life-writing.

Gabe Jones
1963年漫威漫画《愤怒中士和他的咆哮突击队》中介绍了加布·琼斯,他是漫画中最早的“正常”黑人之一。[…]我的意思不是种族主义漫画,用非裔美国作家雷金纳德·胡德林的话说。出生于哈莱姆区的琼斯是一名职业爵士小号手,他正是从路易斯·阿姆斯特朗那里学会了演奏。在第二次世界大战期间的某个时刻,咆哮突击队帮助击退了纳粹对瓦坎达的入侵,瓦坎达是由漫威超级英雄黑豹统治的非洲国家,琼斯与黑豹建立了私人友谊。这篇文章采用了一个1000字的琼斯条目的形式,为一个虚构的爵士漫威百科全书。它推测,与瓦坎达这样的非洲裔乌托邦的接触可能会对非裔美国爵士音乐家的后续发展产生影响,从而在20世纪50年代初催生了一种想象中的流派——Vibop。通过模仿音乐和漫画上新闻写作的形式特征,这篇文章推测了爵士乐生活写作中小说的界限。

期刊介绍: Jazz Research Journal explores a range of cultural and critical views on jazz. The journal celebrates the diversity of approaches found in jazz scholarship and provides a forum for interaction and the cross-fertilisation of ideas. It is a development and extension of The Source: Challenging Jazz Criticism founded in 2004 at the Leeds College of Music. The journal aims to represent a range of disciplinary perspectives on jazz, from musicology to film studies, sociology to cultural studies, and offers a platform for new thinking on jazz. In this respect, the editors particularly welcome articles that challenge traditional approaches to jazz and encourage writings that engage with jazz as a discursive practice. Jazz Research Journal publishes original and innovative research that either extends the boundaries of jazz scholarship or explores themes which are central to a critical understanding of the music, including the politics of race and gender, the shifting cultural representation of jazz, and the complexity of canon formation and dissolution. In addition to articles, the journal features a reviews section that publishes critical articles on a variety of media, including recordings, film, books, educational products and multimedia publications.
