  • Porgy and Bess Composer: George Gershwin Section of the Work to Be
    Title: Porgy and Bess Composer: George Gershwin Section of the work to be studied: ‘Summertime’ Interpretation in performance 1: Leontyne Price, from 1:11 to 4:32, Porgy and Bess: High Performance, RCA Interpretation in performance 2: Billie Holiday, The Quintessential Billie Holiday, Vol. 2: 1936, Columbia, this recording is also available on a number of compilation CDs. Score: Summertime, single for voice and piano. Alfred Publishing. (AP.VS5985) The following notes are designed to inform discussion. They are not to be considered as representative of the VCAA or amuse. The notes are to be used as starting points. Paul Curtis 2009 Briefly: Gershwin completed the work in September 1935 following 20 months of work. The show opened on 30 September 1935 at Boston’s Colonial Theatre. The show opened in New York at the Alvin Theatre on 10 October. The show ran for only 124 shows at the Alvin. The critical reaction was mixed and the entire monetary investment was lost. Gershwin wrote the following defense of his work: It is true that I have written songs for Porgy and Bess. I am not ashamed at writing songs at any time so long as they are good songs. In Porgy and Bess I realized that I was writing an opera for the theatre and without songs it could be neither of the theatre nor entertaining from my viewpoint. But songs are entirely within the operatic tradition. Many of the most successful operas of the past have had songs….Of course, the songs in Porgy and Bess are only a part of the whole…I have used symphonic music to unify entire scenes.

  • King Porter Stomp" and the Jazz Tradition* Jazz Historians Have Reinforced and Expanded Morton's Claim and Goodman's Testimony
    JEFFREY MAGEE 23 "King Porter Stomp" and the Jazz Tradition* Jazz historians have reinforced and expanded Morton's claim and Goodman's testimony. The Palomar explosion and its aftershocks have By Jeffrey Magee led some historians to cite it as the birth of the Swing Era, most notably Marshall W. Stearns, who, after tracing jazz's development in 1930-34, could simply assert, "The Swing Era was born on the night of 21 August 1935" (Stearns 1956:211; see echoes of this statement in Erenberg Fletcher won quite a few battles of music with "King Porter Stomp." 1998:3-4, and Giddins 1998:156). Gunther Schuller has called "King And Jelly Roll Morton knew this, and he used to go and say "I made Porter Stomp" one of the "dozen or so major stations in the development Fletcher Henderson."

Quite by accident we were on the mailing list advertising Krupa drum­ sticks and Krupa publications. It is from the “World of Gene Krupa” book we’ve excerpted the following Gene Krupa comments, presented in interview style. BBJ host Don Kennedy interviewed Gene Krupa in 1949 or early 1950 when Krupa was appearing at the Palace Theater in Youngstown, Ohio. The interview was set up for one o’clock in the morning, after the last of the six or seven daily ‘live’ performances between showings of the feature movie. That taped interview has long since been lost, but one distinct memory The young Krupa at work remains: the extremely courteous behavior of Gene came from the Buddy Rogers band. I knew Stan in the Krupa. Kennedy recalls the event. old days when I worked for Red Nichols. THE place then was Plunkett’s (a speakeasy on 53rd Street) and “I was nineteen or twenty and my dad went with me for Stan was a very big name then and much respected by company. While I was setting up that bulky early tape me, not so much for his talent, because I was going the recorder, Gene Krupa talked to my 66 year old dad, a other way for guys like Chick Webb and Tommy Miles.

She was raised with harsh realities and hard choices inherent in an inequitable culture that allowed discrimination, segregation, disenfranchisement, and continued acts of oppression and brutality. Her life story, her musicality, her songwriting, her autobiography Lady Sings the Blues, and the feeling that she put into almost everything she touched created a lasting legacy.
