Club Passim is an American folk music club in the Harvard Square area of Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was opened by Joyce Kalina (now Chopra) and Paula Kelley in 1958,〔Cohen, Ronald (2002). ''Rainbow Quest: The Folk Music Revival and American Society, 1940-1970''. University of Massachusetts Press (Amherst)〕 when it was known as Club 47 (based on its then address, 47 Mount Auburn Street, also in Cambridge; it moved to its present location on Palmer Street in 1963), and changed its name to simply Passim in 1969. "Passim" in the name is pronounced with the accent on the second syllable and as if that were "seem"; it derives from ''passim'' (usually pronounced differently), commonly found in footnotes. It adopted the present name in 1994; a combination of the earlier two names. At its inception, it was mainly a jazz and blues club, but soon branched out to include ethnic folk, then singer/songwriter folk.〔Alarik, Scott. "From Club 47 to Club Passim", in ''Deep Community: Adventures in the Modern Folk Underground'' (2003). Black Wolf (Cambridge, Mass.)〕 Artists who have performed there include Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin, Bob Dylan, Tom Rush, Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega, Muddy Waters, and many others. In the 1960s, the club (when known as Club 47) played a role in the rise of folk-rock music, when it began to book folk/rock bands whose music was unrelated to traditional folk, such as the Lovin' Spoonful.〔Unterberger, Richie (2002). ''Turn! Turn! Turn: The '60s Folk-Rock Revolution''. Backbeat (San Francisco).〕 The club's importance to the 1960s Cambridge folk scene is documented extensively in Von Schmidt's ''Baby, Let Me Follow You Down: The Illustrated Story of the Cambridge Folk Years''.〔Von Schmidt, Eric (1994). ''Baby, Let Me Follow You Down: The Illustrated Story of the Cambridge Folk Years'', second edition. University of Massachusetts Press (Amherst)〕 Scott Alarik described Club 47 as being "the hangout of choice for the new folkies" during that time.〔 Today there is a Passim School of Music and Culture for Kids program. The School of Music offers workshops and classes to teens and adults.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Passim School Of Music )〕 ==Musicians== Joan Baez described to ''Rolling Stone's'' Kurt Loder how she began performing at Club 47 in 1958 as a largely unknown Boston University student, playing on Tuesday nights as a means of providing entertainment because the jazz musicians who played there had Tuesday nights off; she would continue to perform regularly there through the early 1960s. In 1961, Bob Dylan was said to have played at the club between sets for free so that he could say he had played at Club 47.〔White, Timothy (2001). ''James Taylor: Long Ago and Far Away''. Omnibus (London)〕 ''Dylan: A Biography'' gives a detailed account of Dylan's first visit to Club 47, where he saw Carolyn Hester perform and performed between Hester's sets in the hopes of impressing club manager Paula Kelley.〔Spitz, Bob (1989). ''Dylan: A Biography''. Norton (New York).〕 Bonnie Raitt chose to attend Radcliffe College in Cambridge in order to be near Club 47, though the club closed temporarily after her first year as a student (1967).〔Gaar, Gillian G. (2002). ''She's a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll'' (second edition). Seal (New York)〕 Bill Staines mentions Club 47 in his autobiography, ''The Tour''. He saw his first coffeehouse performance there in 1962, as a sophomore in high school, and described Club 47 during the 1960s as "one of the premier folk venues in the country."〔Staines, Bill (2003). ''The Tour''. Xlibris〕 Bruce Springsteen was refused a gig at Club Passim.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of Club Passim )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Club Passim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
