  • GUNTHER SCHULLER NEA Jazz Master (2008)
    1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. GUNTHER SCHULLER NEA Jazz Master (2008) Interviewee: Gunther Schuller (November 22, 1925 - ) Interviewer: Steve Schwartz with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: June 29-30, 2008 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 87 pp. Schwartz: This is Steve Schwartz from WGBH radio in Boston. We’re at the home of Gunther Schuller on Dudley Road in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, to do an oral history for the Smithsonian Oral History Jazz Program, if that’s the right title. Close enough? Hello Gunther. Schuller: Hello. Good to see you. Schwartz: Thank you for opening your doors to us. We should start at the beginning, or as far back to the beginning as we can go. I’d love to have you talk about your childhood, your growing up in New York, and whatever memories you have – your parents, who they are, who they were – things like that to get us started. Schuller: I was born in New York. Many people think I was born in Germany, with my German name and I speak fluent German, but I was born in New York City. My parents came over from Germany in 1923. They were not married. They didn’t know each other. They just happened to leave more or less the same time, when the inflation in Germany was so crazy that a loaf of bread cost not 40, 400, 4,000, but 4-million marks.

  • Technique of the Quarter: Examining Sauces
    TECHNIQUE OF THE QUARTER: EXAMINING SAUCES Sauces are often considered one of the greatest tests of a chef’s skill. The successful pairing of a sauce with a food demonstrates technical expertise, an understanding of the food, and the ability to judge and evaluate a dish’s flavors, textures, and colors. THE PURPOSE OF SAUCES Most sauces have more than one function in a dish. A sauce that adds a counterpoint flavor, for example, may also introduce textural and visual appeal. Sauces generally serve one or more of the following purposes. Introduce Complementary or Contrasting Flavors Sauces add flavor to a dish. That flavor can be similar to the flavor of the food you are serving it with. For instance, you might choose a velouté made with chicken stock to serve with a chicken breast dish and one made with shellfish stock to serve with a shrimp dish. Choosing a sauce with a similar base flavor tends to complement and intensify the flavor of the main item. On the other hand, you can choose a sauce that adds a contrasting flavor. A good example would be a red wine sauce that introduces some bright and acidic flavors to a dish that features beef. The contrast between rich, savory beef flavors and the sharp taste of the wine makes the beef stand out. Add Moisture A sauce can add moisture to naturally lean foods such as poultry, fish. A sauce can also compensate for the drying effect of certain cooking techniques, especially broiling, grilling, sautéing, and roasting. Grilled foods may be served with a warm butter emulsion sauce like béarnaise or with compound butter.
