Studying Something You Are Part Of: The View From the Bandstand
(co-authored with Robert R. Faulkner)
Being an active participant in an artistic world you want to study both helps
and hinders your work. If you know what the people you want to study are talking
about when they talk about their work, you already know what it might take an
outsider months to learn. You can frame questions in a way they understand
easily, identify things you don’t understand (which will become, as you
investigate them, the growing points of your study), and participate yourself in
the activities you want to observe write about.
But you will also encounter obstacles. You will find it difficult to ask
colleagues about things “everybody knows,” because asking will seem foolish to
them. You will also begin your research with preconceptions, ideas you just take
for granted as so obvious not to require thinking about.
So we have to make further distinctions which, treated as binary, provoke
classifications and help us create types which can organize what we know and
what we learn, and alert us, through ambiguities, to things we want to know more
about. We will use, as the raw material for this analysis, our current research
on the jazz repertoire, in which we are interviewing and observing jazz players
about what songs they know, how and where they learned them, how players use
their individual repertoires to arrive at a collective repertoire for a
particular performance, how individual repertoires become a shared cultural
resource in a community of players, and many other questions relevant to the
repertoire phenomenon. (Early reports on our research are found in Becker and
Faulkner 2006a, 2006b. Our earlier research on musicians is contained in
Faulkner 1983, 1985, and Becker 1973.)
We are both experienced musicians, with many years of playing behind us.
Faulkner still plays professionally several times a week and is an active member
of a local community of working musicians. He can thus observe the processes of
performance construction as closely as Roy (2006) observed machinists’
collective work choices. On the stand when these discussions take place, he can
observe exactly and precisely how collective choices are made, what criteria are
invoked, who knows and doesn’t know what songs, etc. Becker is no longer an
active member of such a community, but has many acquaintances in his area, plays
occasionally with others, and is in a position to ask a lot of questions and to
make occasional observations.
Our research, its setting and methods
The research covers the kinds of places—bars, nightclubs, jazz clubs, private
parties, weddings and other social events—where jazz-oriented musicians perform
for lay audiences for money. We have interviewed and observed musicians in these
settings and in their private lives, and have taken advantage of our own status
as working musicians to ask questions about what they play with each other in
public, how they choose what to play, where they have learned what they know,
and similar questions.
Our field research has been carried out in the Amherst Valley area of
Massachusetts, an area with many universities, and a relatively large community
of working musicians; and in San Francisco, a large cosmopolitan city with an
active musical life. Music of the kind the musicians we are studying play is
widely played in the United States in venues like the ones common in these
communities, and the situations we describe are probably quite common elsewhere
in the country. As older players, we have spent more time with people like us in
age and experience, but have also talked to many younger players whose
experience is somewhat different. In addition, we have relied on our own
extensive experience over many years to furnish examples for our analysis.
Though the music scene in France is somewhat different from that in the United
States, Marc Perrenoud’s (2007) description of the working experience of “les
musicos” (“musiciens ordinaires”} is very close to that of the people we discuss
in this article.
We can distinguish, first, what we, as researchers, know from what we don’t
know. We may think we know that there is a “standard” repertoire for jazz
players, and that we know what it is. But we immediately recognize that we may
(1) think we know something (“researcher thinks” condition) but in fact (2) may
or may not actually know it (“researcher knows”). If we’re lucky we discover
this from our observations and interviews and it makes us rethink what we know.
This distinction generates four types. I can correctly think I know something: I
do know what I think I know. I can think I know and be wrong: I don’t know what
I think I know. And, conversely, I can think I don’t know something I actually
do know, or correctly think that I don’t know something. In the form of a truth
table, this is:
R thinks
R knows
real knowledge
X
—
false knowledge
X
—
false ignorance
—
X
real ignorance
—
—
Each situation has its characteristic advantages and disadvantages. Without
cataloguing all of these, we can note, for instance, that a researcher who bases
an interview question on false knowledge may be embarrassed by a more
knowledgeable interviewee. On the other hand, a researcher can use accurate
knowledge to pose questions that will provoke an interviewee to explain some
aspect of his work the researcher would like to know more about.
We soon see that these terms are insufficient for what we know and want to talk
about. Keep in mind that in any situation of interviewing or observation, we are
involved with one or more other people, and they also may know or not know the
things we are interested in. This adds two more columns to our table, which is
now a table about researcher-subject interaction: the second person may think he
knows and may actually know, or either or both of these conditions may be false.

And so on through all sixteen possibilities which the addition of the new
variables creates. Each additional variable doubles the number of possible
combinations. Some will be empirically unlikely, but anything can happen, and
usually does in the field. The more variables, the more difficult it is to think
up names for the situation. The first might be called “shared knowledge,” but
after that our imaginations stopped working.
This analysis of what can happen in the field lets us identify some common
problematic situations for researchers in the arts who are themselves
practitioners.
Explanation of musical terms
In what follows, we describe many situations and remarks taken from our field
notes, in which people use the shared language of the musical communities in
which these data were gathered. Here are some short explanations of terms that
may be unfamiliar.
Musical language varies somewhat between the United States and France. In
particular, American players typically refer to the tonality in which a song is
played as its “key,” and identify them by the letters A.B.C., etc., while French
musicians refer to the same notes as La, Si, Do, etc.
In general, however, as Perrenoud (2007) shows clearly, musicians of the kind we
studied resemble their French counterparts in many respects. They play in
varying combinations, often with people they don’t know well and with whom they
have not played often or at all, they often do not know what the others know
musically, and much of what they do must be organized at the time of their
performance. They do this by relying, in large part, on a shared knowledge of
songs widely known in their musical community. They play these songs, improvise
on them, and construct an evening’s program out of them.
The songs they use in this way are often referred to as “standards,” usually
songs out of the American tradition of popular song from the 1920s through the
1960s, sometimes referred to as “The Great American Songbook,” songs written by
such well known composers as Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, and
Irving Berlin, but often songs written by less-well known composers. They assume
that , in general, they will play the song in the “standard” key, i.e., the key
of the original publication. In addition, they rely on the blues form, which
consists of a twelve bar patterns of chords, which can be played in any key (so
that it is sufficient to say, “Blues in Bb” [Si bémol] for everyone to know what
they are playing. Counting off eight beats indicates the tempo the song will be
played in. Thus, if a player says “All The Things You Are,” most well-socialized
players of a certain generation will know that they are going to play that song
in the standard key of Ab [La bémol] at the tempo indicated by a vocal count or
by snapping one’s fingers.
Because of generational changes in the nature of popular music in the United
States, jazz has changed from a widely heard and understood music accessible to
lay people to an much more esoteric art music in which players more often play
their own original compositions or the works of well-known jazz composers like
Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, and others. Musicians of different
generations know many fewer songs in common, so that this system of performance
based on a shared repertoire has become more difficult to carry out.
Embarrassment. If, thinking I am quite knowledgable, I ask a question which the
person I’m talFBParisking to will think I should, as a responsible participant
in the interaction, know the answer to, he may wonder whether and how he should
be talking to me. (In truth table terms, this would be the situation of X — X
X.) Am I trustworthy? Should I be treated as an outsider who needs everything
explained? Or, worse yet, am I someone who cannot be trusted at all? And
consider this complication: I might ask such a question when I know the answer
quite well, hoping merely to use it as a way of getting the person to talk at
length about something so that I can check on what he knows and thinks on this
point.
A tenor player was telling me about some of the musicians he worked with in New
York before moving to Brazil, and he assumed I knew who those players were and
what they had recorded in part. I did not know what he was talking about, but he
assumed I knew something about the types of rhythms and their major proponents
(players). So: I’m talking to a musician and he thinks I should know about these
matters, as a responsible participant in the interaction. When I didn’t he said,
“Do you want me to spell that for you?” This was a particular rhythm he was
talking about, about which I knew absolutely nothing. Talk about embarrassment.
He then named three other Brazilian rhythms and, seeing that I did not know
anything about them, said “Okay,” and moved on, after I shrugged my shoulders.
He said, “There are many distinctive, important, and cool rhythms in Brazil
beside the internationally much better known samba and bossa nova.” And then he
told me “some of the more significant ones” are: “baiao, chorinho, forro,
pagode, marcha rancho, maracatuu, and frevo.”
I did not know any of these Brazilian rhythms.
Crippling prejudices. One of our most educational experiences to date, in the
sense of learning something we didn’t know before, came when we confronted the
phenomenon of the rapidly shifting jazz repertoire. This appears in the quite
different tunes that players of different ages knew. We have to say here that we
are both of an older generation, though we would like to think that we keep up
with current trends. Between us, we have probably spent over a hundred years
playing jazz and popular music in a variety of venues. So, when we began our
work, we were quite sure we knew pretty much everything there was to know about
the jazz business.
One thing we “knew,” as many players of our vintage think they “know,” is that
younger players do not know all the tunes they should know. This view was
expressed forcefully by Dick Hyman, a pianist known for his ability to play in a
variety of styles and to play tunes from the Teens through the present day. In
an article called “150 Standard Tunes Everyone Ought To Know,” he said:
Too often, younger musicians don’t know the tunes that are still the common
currency of players in all styles of jazz. . . . Although I agree that not only
jazz but popular music in general has been fleeing from the discipline of chord
changes, I believe that a musician, and in particular a pianist, is gravely
under-prepared if he or she embarks on a career based primarily on the Dorian
mode. Sooner or later someone is going to ask you to play “Stardust.”(Hyman
1982a. See also Hyman 1982b).
But our interviews and experiences soon showed us, once we paid attention to
what people were saying and doing, that young players were not so much ignorant
of an older repertoire as they were learning a repertoire of what one pianist
called, in an interview with Becker, and with biting irony, “jazz compositions.”
These compositions, by players like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea
and others. did not follow the standard patterns of the classical jazz standards
Hyman listed, tunes which, in fact, almost all older players did know but many
younger players did not.
Hyman’s complaint was mild. It’s more often expressed as “These goddamn kids
don’t know any goddamn tunes!” An example from Faulkner’s field notes, recorded
after a job :
Dave started in on a piano player who “doesn’t know any tunes and has to have
the music in front of him to play blues in F.” He was very heated about this.
Here is the line I remember as we were standing around filtching hors d’oeuvres.
I said to Paul [pianist], “Let’s do ‘Alone Together,’“ I think that was the tune
I suggested. Paul said “I don’t know it but Dave can tell me the changes [as we
play].” Dave’s response was, “I don’t want to do that. I have to do that with a
piano player who doesn’t know any tunes who should remain nameless, he doesn’t
know tunes and I have to tell him through the entire gig, this change, that
change. It’s a drag. If I get a call to do ‘Rite of Spring’ then I won’t take
that kind of gig, you get Don Baldini to do that, he can read that kind of
music. You call me to do a gig with standards, tunes....But if you call someone
to do a gig and he doesn’t know any tunes, then he shouldn’t take the gig in the
first place. Don’t take the gig if you don’t know tunes, so I end up having to
tell him the chord changes on every tune because he doesn’t know them.”
We were more easy-going in our approach to this phenomenon but, even though we
had learned some of these songs, we did not fully know the conditions of work
that led players to absorb this new repertoire rather than the older one. We did
understand and share, to some degree, the heavily moralistic response of Dave to
this situation.
Briefly, the players of our generation worked in small groups, often assembled
on an ad hoc basis to play together one time only, which put a premium on every
player having a working knowledge of what we can call “the Hyman repertoire.”
These groups played for parties, for dancing, as entertainment in local bars,
etc. Younger players play much more often for listening, and the audiences they
entertain want to hear, if they express themselves at all, the newer jazz
repertoire, what we can call “the Shorter” repertoire” or, equally likely,
original compositions in that style by the members of the group themselves. This
model is much more like the rock music model, in which each band has its own
repertoire. When you know that repertoire, you are not equipped to play with a
random assortment of other players without substantial amounts of rehearsal
time.
Being able to observe the repertoire in action, on the bandstand and on the job,
led us to see that our insider knowledge was partial, limited to the
perspectives of the older sub-group of players we belonged to. In the language
of the truth table, the researchers were + — (thought they knew about the
younger group’s practices and beliefs but didn’t) and the younger players we
interviewed and observed were + +; they knew and understood their own practices.
In fact, we have simplified a far more complex phenomenon by distinguishing only
two versions of the jazz repertoire. In fact, contemporary players often
distinguish between the “standards,” the bebop repertoire, the post-bop, hard
bop, and free jazz repertoires, and there is no doubt that new kinds of
repertoire will cointinue to develop. (These distinctions are discussed, for
example, in Buscatto 2007.)
Mutual Exploration. We discovered some interesting topics in our discussions
with other musicians, some of which we might say that neither we nor they fully
understood. Our discussions with them took the form of a sort of mutual
exploration as we tried to see what the answer to the question we had uncovered
could be. In these cases, what we jointly discovered was that each of us in fact
did know the answer, but hadn’t known that we knew it. So it was a case of — X —
X.
Becker was interested in the fairly common situation in which someone is called
on to play a song they don’t know at all. This is something that everyone knows
how to do, something that interviewees had mentioned and that had happened to
both of us. Since it seems like a contradiction in terms—how can you play what
you don’t know?—he took the opportunity to ask about it during an interview with
a bass player he had played with in the past, but had now engaged in a more
formal interview:
Don and I were discussing what tunes he knew and where he had learned them. He
has an enormous repertoire, ranging from Dixieland tunes from the Twenties to a
lot of contemporary compositions, so this was a lengthy discussion. Then I asked
him if he had ever had to play a tune he didn’t know at all. He said that of
course he had, everyone had to do that sometimes. I asked how he did it, and he
looked sort of puzzled and finally said that he wasn’t sure. “But, I’ll tell you
what, let’s try it and see what happens. Play something I don’t know and I’ll
follow you and tell you what’s going on.”
I thought for a minute and picked a very obscure tune from the 1940s (I had
probably learned from hearing Glenn Miller’s Orchestra play it on the radio),
“I’m Stepping Out With a Memory Tonight.” No jazz great ever recorded it, so it
was not likely it would be known because of that. (It was, however, recorded by
Glenn Miller and several other big bands of the 1940s, as well as by the singer
Jeri Southern). I told Don the name and he said he had never heard it. I started
to play it, in the key of F. Don, like any bass player would, watched my left
hand closely, to see what bass notes I was playing that he could pick up on. He
had no trouble with the first two bars, a standard I VI II V progression. The
third bar goes from the major chord on the tonic—in this case, FM7—on the first
two beats, to the same chord with an E in the bass. As soon as I played the E,
Don said, “Stop right there. That’s a clue.” I said, “What’s a clue?” He said,
“That E. When you play that, I know almost for sure that the next note is going
to be an Eb going down eventually to a D. And that means the harmony is almost
surely going to be F7 going to BbM7, maybe a Gm7. Then I’m home free.”
He added, “You know, there are clues to things like not only what the next chord
will be but when you’re going to play a big Las Vegas ending.”
As soon as he said this, I knew exactly what he was talking about, knew that I
would have made essentially the same analysis of the possibilities that he had
made, and would have come to the same conclusion. And thus would have been able
to play at least that part of the tune as he was able to do it. (Although, being
a bass player, he did not have to be able to play the melody.)
In other words, interviewer and interviewee, together, created a question
pertinent to the research and then collaborated to find an answer to it.
Answering the question the researcher posed has the happy result of creating new
problems for study. Because what the joint exploration of how to play a song one
doesn’t know made clear is the formulaic nature of the popular songs which
furnish the basis for the older repertoire. These songs are typically
constructed around a few harmonic patterns, in a few highly standardized forms
(so many bars, divided in one of a few possible ways). That standardization
makes it easy to guess at how a song is put together, and that makes this form
of collective action among relative strangers possible. As a result of this use
of our insider knowledge, we now had this to investigate: how do players learn
and use the formulas?
Making tacit knowledge explicit. Bringing this implicit or tacit knowledge to
the surface, making it explicit and thus amenable to further investigation,
creates new and interesting problems for investigation. If the researcher and
the interviewee use a shared and highly conventional language, the interview can
proceed quickly and without incident. But suppose the question seems (suddenly
or otherwise) ambiguous to the interviewee, and he begins to question the
implicit premises on which it is based. Consider this extended example from
Faulkner’s interview with a tenor saxophonist, who has raised the question of
“what it means to learn a tune, I mean really learn a tune . . . . at what level
do I know the tune?” and he goes on like this:
The example I always use that spurs my thought processes on is when somebody
says to me, ‘Let’s play ‘Woody ‘n You,’ whatever.’ And I like wow, [say] I used
to know that tune, but I don’t know it now, I can’t remember, I know how the
melody goes, which is important, obviously, or maybe not, but in this case I
know it, maybe, but I might get stuck on the bridge, what key it modulates to or
where the bridge starts, but ‘we’re going to play this tune.’
Now I might know this tune because I remember the changes, the chord changes.
But if I were an actor, for example, and I memorized my lines, and say for
example we’re doing this show and I go up on my lines and I forget what my next
line is, do I know the play at that level where if I go up on my lines am I
screwed or do I know the play at a level where I know what’s going on, I know
where we are, I know the meaning of what I’m talking about, and if we screw up
we can get out of it because I can improvise because I know where we are, and
know what we’re talking about. I’m not just spewing lines. I’m not just playing
licks. . . . I haven’t just memorized the changes. I can hear the changes. I
don’t have to know the changes but I can blow over them.
[Discussing playing Coltrane’s “Giant Steps”] I practiced it by rote, practicing
a lick over every dominant chord, every tonic chord, just memorizing exactly…but
at some point, at some point, the more I played it I could play it the way I
play a blues. At some point it started to…,” [He paused. And I added or inserted
“work.”] Yeah, it worked, it got to that level in my subconscious, like when you
play a blues now you don’t have to think, I mean you can [think] but if we do it
usually screws us up. But we could play a blues without thinking, we could play
rhythm [i.e., “I Got Rhythm”] changes probably without thinking, a lot of
standards without thinking. ‘Stablemates,’ I’d have to think. I’d have to think,
but you know it would be a great exercise playing ‘Stablemates’ and not thinking
or playing ‘Stablemates’ in another key, try playing ‘Stella [by Starlight]’ in
another key, without accompaniment and see if you can…without trying to
intellectualize the chord changes, OK, I’m not going to play ‘Stella’ in B flat,
I’m going to play it in E. I’m not going to try to transpose every chord change
up a tritone or something I’m just going to try to blow . . . . That’s when you
really know a tune when someone says, ‘Let’s play Stella in B’ and you just blow
on it, and [you] don’t think about the chord changes.
Faulkner enters the conversation, which now becomes a mutual exploration of
these problems of “knowing a tune,” saying “I went through that with ‘Smoke gets
In Your Eyes” and the following conversation ensues:
Oh,” he said, “the bridge—right?” “I worked on it for forty five minutes,” I
continued, and I told him about how I spent a weekend learning it along with the
line on Dizzy’s “BeBop,” breaking both of the tunes down and really getting them
in my head. I talked about some of the interesting parts of “Smoke.” He said,
“If I were to try to play that tune, ‘Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,’ first of all I
probably couldn’t, ‘cause I don’t think I can hear…that’s a weird one, because
if you don’t know the melody, where the melody goes on the bridge . . . “ He
started singing the melody. He sang the last note of the A section with
emphasis, with a questioning look on his face. I sang it too and told him that
the first note of the bridge is the same note that the tune starts with. [There
is a key change in the bridge to several sharps, but the note on the horn is the
same, in effect]. There seemed to be some mutual learning taking place at this
moment in the interview. I asked, “So how would you learn that, would that be a
memorization issue, I mean you memorized it by knowing that the bridge, the
melody, starts on the same note could be a drag, if that’s what you are relying
on, because if you’re blowing on it, then all of a sudden . . . . You’re locked
in. You’re locked into that…or just knowing that…knowing the harmony. So it
modulates down a major third? Is that right?” We continued to try to break down
the harmony on this tune and sang certain parts of the bridge and what notes we
are on at what points in the tune and, for him, what keys we go in and out of.
After a forty seconds or so of doing these puzzles with the tune, he concluded,
“I think” he said.
In this extended example, interviewer and interviewee use their shared knowledge
of the details of this song, of common harmonic practice in jazz, and of the
construction of popular and jazz tunes to explore the meaning of knowing, thus
opening up for the researchers a new terrain of investigation they had not
previously formulated explicitly.
Coda
Studying something you are a part of, and interviewing people who you have
worked with and will work with again raises difficult questions that
fieldworkers in more traditional research situations don’t have to address but,
at the same time, offers wonderful possibilities for data gathering not open in
the same way to outsiders.
Is it necessary to be a member of the community to exploit such possibilities?
The question often arises in other areas: must a researcher be black to
understand what goes on in the black community? Can a man understand women’s
experiences and vice versa? Do you have to be a junkie or a whore to study those
worlds? The extreme cases make clear that the answer is “No.”
The answer is no because, almost always, what we want to know and need to know
is not some deep emotional thing about how it feels in the dark night of the
soul at three o’clock in the morning when you need a fix and can’t find a
connection. What we always want to know is how people find connections and what
kinds of business arrangements exist between the two kinds of actors, and what
the contingencies of such a life are. Other positions than insider make that
possible.
What kinds of positions do that? When Eleanor Lyon (1974) studied a small
theater organization in the Bay Area she went to the place they performed, told
the director about the research she wanted to do, and worried about “getting
access.” But the director didn’t share her qualms about confidentiality and the
other things we usually worry about. He asked her a simple question: “What can
you do?” Meaning: can you act, sing, dance, construct sets or props, make
costumes, something like that that might be useful to their enterprise. She
said, honestly, that she couldn’t do any of that. To her surprise, he said,
“Great, you can hold book,” which, she found out, meant that she would sit next
to him during rehearsals, give actors lines when they forgot them, and (most
importantly) take down the “notes” that he wanted to give the actors after the
rehearsal. It was the perfect place for a sociologist to be. She wasn’t a
theater person, and didn’t become one, but she was in the middle of everything.
She was right there and knew everything, but wasn’t of any importance to any
one, having nothing that anyone else wanted. She couldn’t give someone a better
part or influence the casting in any way, for instance. So everyone talked to
her about everything, no one hid anything from her (why should they?), she had
the run of the place. It was the perfect spot for a sociologist.
This is a common possibility. Many organizations need helpers, people to do
small unskilled but important jobs. There’s a picture in Sidewalk, Mitchell
Duneier’s study of bouqinistes in New York City, (Duneier 2000) of Mitch Duneier
sitting on a milk crate in the snow on 6th Avenue, freezing, near where the men
he was studying sold second hand books. He was watching someone’s books for him
while he went to eat or go to the bathroom. That’s the kind of small job he did
for them, and his willingness to do such chores was why he could see and hear
everything without having to be a black crackhead or any of the other things
these guys were. He made himself useful, he had a place in the scheme of things.
In contrast, we have a position in the musical world independent of being
sociologists. We are working jazz musicians. We have to know what working jazz
musicians know such as standard songs, jazz tunes,and what to play under what
circumstances. We also have to practice and improve our skills. We would be in
the jazz world, and have been there even through we weren’t doing a study. This
is called complete participant observation. We are jazz players who are fully
participating in the cooperative networks that make jazz possible. We are also
sociologists making observations, doing interviews, and combining observations
with interviews such as playing musical jobs with our colleagues and then
following up the “gigs” with interviews about gig, the other players, and the
tunes selected. In this paper, we’ve outlined some of the advantages and
disadvantages of doing research this way.
