  • Big Band News
    JULY 2016 BIG BAND NEWS COMPILED BY MUSIC LIBRARIAN CHRISTOPHER POPA WELCOME BACK, in this issue: THE GREAT ESCAPE! The Great Escape! returns Recently I was happy to see that Bob Knack new swing and sweet and friends have returned with issue no.32 of compact discs The Great Escape! The online newsletter gets itineraries for The its name from a quotation from Woody Herman, Count Basie and Glenn who said, “Anything that is good jazz is a great Miller Orchestras escape. When you’re involved in playing or birthdays listening to great jazz, no one can get to you.” I was worried that, because there had been a long delay since the previous issue of The Great Escape!, perhaps there would be no more. Each issue always has interesting articles, facts, trivia, letters, and opinions. Some of my favorite articles have included remembrances of the legendary bandleaders, their sidemen, and singers. For example, among the variety of big band vocalists you’ll run across are Martha Tilton, Lynn,Roberts, Buddy Hughes, Walt Andrus, Bea Wain, Gail Reese, Lynn Allison, Fran Warren, and Jack Leonard, to name a few. Do you recognize their names and know of the bands they sang with? Besides Mr. Knack, over the years many knowledgeable people have written for The Great Escape! A sampling would include Perry Huntoon, George Spink, Phil Holdman, Joe Carlton, Chuck Sengstock, Warren Ketter, Larry Maloney, Dick Parker, Ray Krysl, John Macek, Dennis DiBlasio, Bill Spilka, Dick Parker, Karl Kountz, Joe Spery, and Phil McCurnin. All this good started with “The Browsers,” a radio program dedicated to the big bands.

  • 1St Connection Between Baseball and Opera
    Baseball & Opera (compiled by Mark Schubin, this version posted 2014 April 14) 1849 : 1 st connection between baseball and opera: Fans of American actor Edwin Forrest, who is playing Macbeth in New York, hire thugs from among ballplayers at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey (1 st famous ball field) to disrupt performances of British actor William Macready, also playing Macbeth in New York at what had been Astor Opera House. Deadly riot ensues; Macready is rescued by ex-Astor Opera House impresario Edward Fry, who later (1880) invents electronic home entertainment (and probably headphones) by listening to live opera by phone. 1852: Opera-house exclusivity dispute with composer’s niece Johanna Wagner forms legal basis of baseball’s reserve clause. 1870 : Tony Pastor’s Opera House baseball team is covered by The New York Times (they won). 1875 : San Francisco Chronicle reports on that city’s opera-house baseball team. 1879 : Pirate King role created for Signor Brocolini, who, as John Clark, played first base for the Detroit Base Ball Club. 1881 : Dartmouth College opera group performs to raise money for college’s baseball team. 1884 : Three telegraph operators, James U. Rust, E. W. Morgan, and A. H. Stewart, present live games remotely. One sends plays from ballpark, second receives and announces, third moves cards with players’ names around backdrop. Starting in Nashville’s 900-seat Masonic Theater, they soon move to 2,500-seat Grand Opera House, beginning half-century of remote baseball game viewing at opera houses (also Augusta, GA Grand Opera House starting 1885). 1885 : The Black Hussar is probably 1 st opera with baseball mentioned in its libretto (in “Read the answer in the stars”).

  • The Great Ideas Online
    THE GREAT IDEAS ONLINE Aug ‘07 No 434 Dana Gioia, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts delivered the Stanford University Commencement address June 17, 2007. ‘TRADE EASY PLEASURES FOR MORE COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING ONES’ Good morning. Thank you, President Hennessy. t is a great honor to be asked to give the Commencement address I at my alma mater. Although I have two degrees from Stanford, I still feel a bit like an interloper on this exquisitely beautiful cam- pus. A person never really escapes his or her childhood. At heart I’m still a working-class kid—half Italian, half Mexican— from L.A., or more precisely from Hawthorne, a city that most of this audience knows only as the setting of Quentin Tarantino’s 2 Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown—two films that capture the ineffa- ble charm of my hometown. Today is Father’s Day, so I hope you will indulge me for begin- ning on a personal note. I am the first person in my family ever to attend college, and I owe my education to my father, who sacri- ficed nearly everything to give his four children the best education possible. My dad had a fairly hard life. He never spoke English until he went to school. He barely survived a plane crash in World War II. He worked hard, but never had much success, except with his family. When I was about 12, my dad told me that he hoped I would go to Stanford, a place I had never heard of. For him, Stanford repre- sented every success he had missed yet wanted for his children.

    BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXIX BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1993 HENRY MANCINI INTERVIEW THE BACKGROUND The promotion people put us in touch with Henry Mancini as part of the advertising campaign for a concert tour he was making at the time. He talked on a “live” local radio program with Don Kennedy. Mancini and Kennedy grew up within twelve miles of each other in the steel-making area of Western Pennsylvania, just thirty miles from Pittsburgh, although separated in time by half a generation. Mancini was a contemporary of Kennedy’s older musician brothers, so there were some common memories tied with the stories of his early years playing in steel-town beer joints. THE SCENE Unlike some celebrities of Henry Mancini’s stature, the Mancini at work. interview wasn’t difficult to arrange. He is so approach­ able and unaffected by his success, however, that he has BBJ: What kind of musical experience did you have a tendency to be off-hand with his answers, resulting in there? an interview with shorter answers and in some instances less depth than most musical celebrities. Mancini’s HM: Every kind! (Laughs) I started playing flute when answer to a couple of questions was something such as I was a kid, when my Dad gave one to me. He was a flute “Oh, sure.” Some of those one and two word answers player, too. That was at the age of eight, and then I were edited out in places where Kennedy’s persistence started playing piano about eleven and then took up eventually resulted in a longer, more meaningful answer, arranging on my own at about fourteen.
