Her three octave vocal range was widely celebrated, and is well known [...]
Last year I hosted a Halloween Party, just for adults, and I must say I enjoyed it more than almost any other party I've ever thrown. It was so unexpected to turn a holiday, typically targeted towards children, into something for us grown ups to enjoy as well. I want to share with you a few ideas right now (versus on Halloween or the Eve of), just in case you decide to host your own get-together. It's not too late to start planning! Invitations...a great way to set the tone for the party: I fo

Composer Johnny Green wrote the music for several songs that went on to become staples of the jazz-and-popular-song canon, including “Body and Soul,” “Out of Nowhere,” and “I Cover the Waterfront.” Born in New York City on October 10, 1908, he went to Harvard at the age of 15, did some early arranging work for Guy Lombardo, and notched his first hit with “Coquette.” After an unhappy turn as a stockbroker, Green abandoned Wall Street in favor of songwriting and penned many of the tunes for which
I was recently searching through my old posts when I happened upon an unpublished outline of recommended classical/symphonic music recordings. Compounded with several other events of the day, the barebones post got me thinking: what makes symphonic music recordings so different than those of popular music? It’s a multifaceted question, and one that I think deserves some attention. I’m going to gloss over some of my thoughts, as many of them would require volumes of posts of their own. First

New this month from the University of Nebraska Press is Blue Skies, Black Wings: African American Pioneers of Aviation by Samuel L. Broadnax. After a love of flying and years spent as a pilot at the Tuskegee Army Air Base, Samuel Broadnax began to research the experiences of other black pilots and “pioneers” of aviation. This book is a culmination of those tales, from Charles Wesley Peters who flew his own plane in 1911, to the 1945 Freeman Field mutiny against segregationist policies. This w

Blue Skies (Chords) - Blues Skies Intro (Tab) After a few weeks of heavy duty rock riffs, I’m having a change this week and going with some old school stuff. Blues Skies has been recorded by hundreds of people including Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson. But this tab is based heavily, very heavily, on Brian Hefferan’s version because whenever I hear one of his arrangements, I can never think of a better way to play it. The chords are fairly simple. Even when they get a bit jaz
As New York temperatures slipped into the upper 50s yesterday and the wind picked up, I decided to put on Autumn in New York—about 20 versions of the song. The more interpretations I listened to, the more I realized that an artist has to deliver on both beauty and sincerity for a rendition to ring true. Like Moonlight in Vermont, another favorite, Autumn in New York's appeal lies somewhere between its postcard imagery and moody sincerity. Interestingly, tempo has little to do with it: There ar

E' mezzanotte...la solitudine mi tiene ancora sveglia.... ...e intanto ascolto la musica... . Dream a Little Dream of Me ..... Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me. While I'm alone, blue as can be, Dream a little dream of me. ..... Still craving your kiss. .... Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. But in your dreams, whatever they be, Dream a little dream of me. . Ella Fitzgerald - Louis Armstrong "Dream a Little Dream of Me" http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=io0uqrp9dco
