Cotton
Club Pitch
Hi, I’m Brandon…Hi I’m Brida and today we are
advertising the “Cotton Club”, a place for African American musicians, poets,
and artist to show their talent and be recognized by many people and to get
their name out there. In our advertisement, you see Louis Armstrong playing a
trumpet with multiple music notes coming out symbolizing one of the assets of
our club.
The Harlem Renaissance was the rebirth of the
African American culture and for us to have a club for African American to
express the ideas/feelings is important to the revival of the culture. One
beautiful aspect of the renaissance is the music. Jazz was originated on New
Orleans, and was a combination of rhythmic African drumbeats and European
instruments. In the 1920s the sounds of jazz migrated with African American to
first Chicago, then to New York.
For our club to be stationed in New York, the music
flourished, not just to blacks, but ALL RACES. Our club isn’t just for blacks
but we also entertained whites. You would think everyone in there were black
that’s not the case, most of the people were white with the exception of the
black musicians and some white ones.
Tribute
to Gatsby
In the book, character Jay Gatsby is a wealthy man
and he throws a lot of parties. The music that was played at his parties were
of the Harlem Renaissance.
