  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

    EPISODE FOUR TAPESTRY OF LIGHT: A HOLIDAY CELEBRATION A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO We welcome you to Heinz Hall to enjoy the music and traditions of the holiday season with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. While we can’t gather together at Heinz Hall this year, we are excited to offer Front Row: Tapestry of Light, A Holiday Celebration to offer some comfort and joy during these uncertain times. This year’s program has old favorites – and new delights. Principal Pops Conductor Byron Stripling welcomes special guest vocalist Vanessa Campagna, a global star and a Beaver County native, who was discovered by Marvin Hamlisch, the PSO’s first Principal Pops Conductor. Byron also showcases his amazing trumpet playing in special performances of “Joy to the World” and an improvisation on the theme from “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” The glorious brass section of the PSO is featured in three pieces, and the PSO is joined by members of the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus and a dancer from Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School for special performances. Valerie Coleman’s Umoja (Swahili for “unity” or “togetherness”) is played by the PSO’s flute section. And, the celebration wouldn’t be complete without the annual tradition of a sing-along! We’re also very proud to present our first ever virtual Sensory Friendly Holiday Concert. This will be the Pittsburgh Symphony’s sixth season offering sensory friendly concerts, and our second Sensory Friendly Holiday Concert. Open to all, our sensory friendly performances are customized especially for those with autism spectrum disorders or who have other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities.

  • ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY - Biography
    ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY - Biography ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY is one of the finest singer/songwriters of our generation. The statuesque performer dazzles music lovers as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, and educator. Her talents have made her equally at home in jazz and pop as well as on stage, in the recording studio, on TV and in film. She is best known for starring in the hit Broadway musical "SWING!" and for writing and singing the theme to the internationally successful TV series,” THE NANNY". Ann is a devoted keeper-of-the-flame of the great American songbook. She brings fresh and original interpretations to these timeless classics and works to uphold the canon by writing songs with Cole Porter, Carole King, Barbara Carroll and others. Her spontaneity, intelligence, and soulful charisma have won her a diverse fan-base including notables as Barbra Streisand, Clive Davis, Carly Simon and Wynton Marsalis. The New York Times writes, “For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway.” Ann attributes her voice and love of music to her mother, Shirley, who throughout her childhood sang and played torch songs, Gershwin and German lieder at the piano. Of the uniquely musical household she says, “I didn’t know it at the time, but we were sort of the Von Trapp family of Chicago.” After a music teacher discovered her unusually mature soprano voice, Ann was encouraged to study classically, honing the pitch-perfect control and expressive three octave range she is known for. While her voice teachers suggested she could have a career in opera, Ann eventually realized that she would be happier singing the music she most loved.
