Arizona Dranes (1889-1963) was a true musical innovator whose
recordings made for the Okeh label during the years 1926-1928
helped lay the foundations for what would soon be known as gospel
music. Her unique blend of ragtime, barrelhouse, and boogie woogie
piano plus her exciting and emotional Pentecostal style of singing
influenced the development of gospel music for the next forty years
and beyond. The School of Arizona Dranes: Gospel Music Pioneer
covers the life and career of Dranes and situates her
accomplishments in the broader history of African American gospel
music and the rise of the Pentecostal movement. Starting with the
earliest recordings of the music in the late nineteenth century,
this book provides a history of African American sacred and gospel
music that convincingly demonstrates the revolutionary nature of
Dranes s musical accomplishment. Using specific examples, the
author traces the far-reaching influence of Arizona Dranes on
African American gospel piano playing and singing.
