The ship was sold to Denmark and then acquired by the Confederacy on January 6, 1865. Captain Thomas Jefferson Page took command and after repairs at Coruna, Spain, Stonewall headed for American waters, planning to attack Port Royal Sound, South Carolina. The ship reached Cuba by May 1865. There, Page learned that the war was over. The ironclad was then sold to Spanish authorities and later acquired by the United States.

  • Black Women's Music Database
    By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established. Beginning with publications like The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern (1971) and African American Music by Mellonee Burnim and Portia Maultsby (2006),

  • Ella Fitzgerald from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Ella Fitzgerald From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Ella Jane Fitzgerald Born April 25, 1917 Newport News, Virginia, United States Died June 15, 1996 (aged 79) Beverly Hills, California, United States Genres Swing, bebop, traditional pop, vocal jazz Occupation(s) Singer, actress Instruments Vocals Years active 1934–1993 Labels Capitol, Decca, Pablo, Reprise, Verve, Brunswick, HMV Website ellafitzgerald.com Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer often referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. After tumultuous teenage years, Fitzgerald found stability in musical success with performances on many stages in the Harlem area, including her rendition of the nursery rhyme "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" that helped boost her to fame. In 1942, Fitzgerald left the amateur performances behind, signed a deal with Decca Records, and started her solo career by redefining the art of scat singing. It was not until her manager, Norman Granz, built Verve Records based on her vocal abilities that she recorded some of her more widely noted works. Under this label, Fitzgerald focused more on singing than scatting, providing perhaps her most career-defining works in her interpretation of the Great American Songbook. While Fitzgerald appeared in movies and as guests on popular television shows in the second half of the twentieth century, her musical collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Bill Kenny and the Ink Spots were some of her most notable acts outside of her solo career.

Quarstein will give a presentation live from his home in Hampton, Virginia, on the remaining days of USS Monitor. Viewers are welcome to send Quarstein any comments or questions during the presentation, and he will answer following his talk. About this presentation: On Christmas Eve 1862, the ironclad Monitor received orders to proceed to Beaufort, North Carolina, to join a planned operation against Wilmington, North Carolina. Executive Officer S. D. Greene noted that Monitor was not a “sea-going vessel.” (The ship had almost sunk twice during its March 1862 trip from New York to Hampton Roads.) Monitor left Hampton Roads in clear weather on December 29, but encountered a heavy gale the next afternoon. The ironclad was overwhelmed by the heavy seas and sank in the early morning of December 31, 1862. As crew member Frank Butts noted, “The Monitor is no more.” 100 Museum Drive, 757-596-2222.

Dem Publikum wurde eine beeindruckende Show geboten. Faszinierende Lichteffekte, spektakuläre Laserstrahlen und farbenprächtige Kostüme. Im Hintergrund war eine Videoleinwand installiert, die sich über die Breite der Bühne erstreckte. Hier wurden u. a. berühmte Persönlichkeiten der Zeitgeschichte eingeblendet (z. B. N. Mandela, M. L. King, J. F. Kennedy, Ghandi usw.), die mit ihrem Wirken viel bewegt haben und sich auch für den Frieden eingesetzt haben. Auch Queen Esther Marrow kann man durch ihre Interpretation ihrer Musik als Friedensbotschafterin bezeichnen. Ihr zur Seite "The Harlem Gospel Singers". Drei Sänger und drei Sängerinnen bilden diesen Begleitchor.
