Jazz Museum in Harlem Celebrates Women in Jazz
Harlem Speaks Brings in Spring with Producer Cobi Narita and Historian
Delilah Jackson
• Cobi Narita, Producer: Thursday, April 13, 2006
• Delilah Jackson, Historian: Thursday, April 27, 2006
Nobuko Cobi Narita, guest of Harlem Speaks on Thursday, April 13, 2006,
has been a steadfast volunteer in the NY jazz community since 1969.
Married to Paul Ash, her partner of 32 years, at 80 she remains quite
active, producing special events while publicizing the activities of
her more than 600 individual and organization members—without
remuneration.
In 1976, Cobi founded a jazz service organization called the Universal
Jazz Coalition. From 1983-1988 she had a place of her own, the Jazz
Center of New York, Inc., a large loft space, funded by Paul Ash of the
Sam Ash Music Stores, where she presented daily concerts and events
featuring artists, great and less-known, who loved the space. Her
smaller current space is “Cobi’s Place,” at 158 W 48 Street, part of
the Jazz Center of New York.
Cobi, in 1995, founded the International Women in Jazz, Inc., serving
as president for its first three years, board chair for the next three,
and now on its Advisory Committee.
She produced 16 annual New York Women’s Jazz Festivals from 1978, with
music, workshops, jam sessions, and conferences, spotlighting women
leaders, both renowned and emerging. During the first few years the
festivals took place outdoors on the stage at Damrosch Park, Lincoln
Center, and later at venues such as Saint Peter’s Church, Harlem School
of the Arts, UJC’s Jazz Gallery (in the 1980s), and UJC’s Jazz Center
of New York.
At her Jazz Center of New York, Cobi presented great artists, including
Dizzy Gillespie, Randy Weston, Phineas Newborn, Jr., Ahmad Jamal,
Dakota Staton, Monty Alexander, George Coleman, Abbey Lincoln, Melba
Liston, Bill Barron, Al Grey, Lou Donaldson, Maxine Sullivan, Houston
Person & Etta Jones, Mingus Dynasty, Jamil Nasser, Harold Mabern, Billy
Harper, Philly Joe Jones, Ricky Ford, Horace Tapscott, Harlem Blues &
Jazz Band, Idris Muhammed, Major Holley, Benny Powell and many others.
As director of the Universal Jazz Coalition and the Jazz Center, Cobi
has: presented, produced or assisted over 5,000 concerts; provided free
technical assistance services to musicians; spearheaded tributes and
fundraisers to benefit ailing musicians, among those a special one
co-hosted by Max Roach and Jamil Nasser, which gifted Papa Jo Jones
with $15,000; presented free weekly “hands-on” Workshops for Musicians,
courtesy of the Sam Ash Music Stores; published since 1976 a monthly
jazz newsletter/calendar and a 32-pager, Cobi’s Music News (Aug
2000-Sept. 2002); hosted “Jazz USA”, on WBAI-FM for four years; and
developed and directed a year-round vocal jazz workshop series, “UJC
Discoveries,” which presented more than 350 new voices in concert over
10 years.
Among her numerous awards, Cobi was recently honored by the
International Women of Jazz at their 10th Anniversary festivities and
by James Jabbo Ware’s Me We & Them. She has been honored by the
government of Japan, receiving its Foreign Minister’s Commendation in
Commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the US-Japan Relationship in
2004 for her support, promotion and presentation of Japanese and
Japanese-American jazz artists over the years; Incorporation of Artists
on the Move (AIM), receiving its 1st Annual Martin Luther King
Community Service Award in Jan 2003; The Jazz Foundation of America,
receiving its first Lifetime Achievement Award at the Apollo Theatre
October 2001; The Saeko Ichinohe Dance Company, receiving its Fourth
Annual Cultural Bridge Award (March 2001); The Manhattan Country
School, receiving its Second Annual John Garcia Gensel Award (May
2000); and The Kennedy Center, receiving its first Mary Lou Williams
Jazz Award at their first 3-day Women’s Jazz Festival (May 1996).
* * *
The April 27, 2006 guest, cultural historian Delilah Jackson has worked
with Cobi Narita since the late ’70s, to co-produce numerous tap
concerts and film showings, and now presents her programs at Cobi’s
Place in Manhattan. Delilah is founder and artistic director of the
Black Patti Research Foundation (named after Sisseretta Jones who
organized the most prestigious group of touring black troubadours at
the turn of the century), and has amassed one of the most extensive
collections of African American expressive culture anywhere – more than
1000 rare slides, photos, and vintage films documenting the
performances of musicians, singers, actors and dancers of Harlem during
the 1920s and 1930s.
Delilah has given talks, curated exhibitions, and held programs at
libraries, churches, universities and museums. She has been a
consultant for TV documentaries and news reports. She has worked as a
consultant on such films as The Cotton Club, the BBC production of
Going Back to Harlem, and Essence Magazine’s Women in Jazz. In 1997,
she curated a show at the Smithsonian entitled “Paris, the Jazz Age”
(1914-1940). Delilah has lectured at Columbia University, the New
School for Social Research, Museum of Natural History, Schomburg Center
for Black Culture, and Smithsonian Institution.
In 1993, Delilah was inducted into the Black Collectors’ Hall of Fame.
She is the recipient of the Mama Lu Parks Achievement Award for Dance
History; the 2001 Flo-Bert Lifetime Achievement Award from the New York
City Committee to Celebrate National Tap Dance Day; and on June 28,
2005, Delilah Jackson received the coveted Tap Preservation Award from
Tap City 2005.
Recently, Delilah moved the lion’s share of her collection to Emory
University’s African-American archives. The move included some 4,000
photos of actors, singers, dancers, sports figures and politicians;
twenty-plus reels of 10-minute “soundies” – film performances of jazz
musicians and others, made mostly in the 1940s before the advent of
television – the precursors of music videos; a scrapbook that belonged
to Johnny Hudgins, a black entertainer who played in blackface, which
is filled with 20 years of clippings, pictures and itineraries of gigs
in the United States, Cuba and Europe.
On August 5, 2001, an in-depth article about Delilah Jackson and her
on-going work appeared in the New York Times.
On April 2, 2003, a 2-page spread appeared in the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, replete with photos.
Delilah has celebrated Tap Dance for over 25 years. She has presented
Dr. Buster Brown, Charles “Cookie” Cook, Lon Chaney, Chuck Green, Henry
Le Tang, Jr., Tina Pratt, Mable Lee, Salt and Pepper, and The Cotton
Club Girls in Harlem Week shows. She has kept tap alive.

SUMMER INTENSIVE
ONE BODY, ONE CAREER
10 – 15 July 2006
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
In collaboration with the Henny Jurriëns Foundation, anoukvandijk dc will organize the Summer Intensive: One Body, One Career. The main focus of this Summer Intensive will be how training, rehearsal and performance in dance can be related to one another in a constructive manner. You will study with a unique group of experienced teachers who are specialized in different methods to work with the body in dance and movement, but who have a common view on the specific mindset and physical awareness they see as crucial to building a career in dance.
You will be able to study Countertechnique, repertory and composition with Anouk van Dijk, improvisation and instant composition with Michael Schumacher, partnering work with Jack Gallagher and Nina Wollny, Alexander Technique with Tom Koch, ballet with Vitor Garcia and yoga with Anat Geiger.
All teachers share a particular understanding of what it takes to be a dancer, how without humor and dignity a career can become harsh and tedious. They all believe you can push your limits as long as you do not lose your self-esteem. The love for detail marks their teaching: subtle nuances can make exactly the difference between hating and loving what you are doing. Just copying an exercise will not give you an effective tool to work with, it’s only when you understand the functionality of what you’re doing that you’re able to gain something. During their careers as dancers they all experienced first hand how information taught in classes can be contrary to the demands of rehearsal and performance, thereby causing confusion and frustration. This Summer Intensive offers the possibility to experience how the three different ingredients of a dancer’s daily life – class, creation and performance – can be intertwined with one another and add up to a sensible and harmonious unity.
The use of space, both internally and externally, the direction of energy in movement and the ways to stay present and connected with oneself, are key elements of all methods taught in this Summer Intensive. All approaches together form a complementary body of knowledge and experience that addresses a wide variety of aspects of the dancer’s professional life and defines the outlines of a creative, intelligent and healthy dancing career.
