  • Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay
    Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay “Way Down Upon the Hudson River: Tin Pan Alley's New York Triumph” Rachel Rubin, Professor of American Studies, University of Massachusetts Broadway in the 1920s was a showcase for the sweeping changes transforming American culture in the early 20th century, including new roles for women, the mixing of social classes in new settings like Prohibition-era speakeasies and creative innovation by African Americans in jazz clubs and music halls. Sons of immigrants from Europe -- including the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen -- made up a large percentage of the new word and music smiths writing for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway’s musical revues. Their syncopated rhythms borrowed from the jazz craze and their lyrics helped create a vibrant, witty new American argot. Tin Pan Alley and Broadway contributed such classic standards as “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” (Berlin), “I Got Rhythm” (Gershwin and Gershwin), “Ol’Man River,” (Kern and Hammerstein), “Stormy Weather” (Arlen and Koehler), “Ain’t Misbehavin’” (Razaf, Waller, Brooks), “Anything Goes” (Porter) and many more. These songs formed the musical backdrop of an era. The production of these songs also became big business. The first major book written about Tin Pan Alley was published in 1930 by Harvard professor Isaac Goldberg, and it was subtitled “A Chronicle of the American Popular Music Racket.” Goldberg’s humorous use of the word “racket” captured something about the origins of the name “Tin Pan Alley” given to the music composed by poorly-paid songwriters banging away in cubicles in downtown New York City on cheap pianos.

  • The Enduring Art of Ella Fitzgerald's Most Ambitious Album
    MASTERPIECE The Enduring Art of Ella Fitzgerald’s Most Ambitious Album ‘Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Books,’ which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame at the end of January, remains a matchless treasure. By John Edward Hasse Published originally in The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 5, 2019 Nothing did more to crystallize the idea of the Great American Songbook than a series of recordings Fitzgerald made between 1956 and 1964. By showcasing eight different songwriters and songwriting teams, these albums esteemed each writer’s output as a body of work, canonized many of the songs, and raised respect for the repertory. The most celebrated of these albums, Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Books, unprecedented in scope, offers 59 tracks, more than three hours, broadly exploring one of America’s foremost song catalogs. It was recorded between January and August 1959 and issued originally in a lavish six-disc set. And with the Grammy’s this week, it’s worth reconsidering one of the singular recordings of the 20th century, which itself was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame at the end of January. The album resulted from a kind of collaboration among four living figures and one deceased, playing five different roles. George Gershwin, who died prematurely in 1937, composed the music, rich with jazzy, bluesy, Jewish and classical influences. His brother Ira matched George’s melodies with witty, memorable words that reveled in American vernacular speech. For the album, Ira wrote some new lyrics. The other three collaborators were each at their creative peak.
