Company MAKE MINE MANHATTAN Final Draft 3/4/12 1 MAKE MINE MANHATTAN The authors’ original concept for “A Nice Place to Visit” (the original title of “Make Mine Manhattan”): “A pocket revue, designed for a cast of eight, a small stage with either two pianos and rhythm, or a small orchestra. The cast should be highly versatile – they sing, play in sketches, dance a few steps now and then and may act as one of the revolving narrators. The look of the show is stylish but unpretentious. No curtain is necessary and only occasional, but simple, furniture and props are needed. Most of the time these are pushed or brought on stage by the cast themselves. The scenes flow from one to the other almost as ‘dissolves’, and the whole atmosphere is light. The cast members enjoy what they’re doing and show it.” #1 OPENING Pianos The opening and “Anything Can Happen in New York” are performed by the company except Girl One and Girl Four.

And everybody knocks the place: they were insulted by a cab driver, or a waiter, they sat behind a pillar at the theatre for $25 a ticket. But it’s the big time, and there’s nowhere else like it. It’s got museums, the shops, big business, small business, galleries...the theatre! #2 ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN NEW YORK Boy One & Company BOY ONE (Cont’d) WHERE THE HUDSON RIVER MEETS THE SEA THERE’S A PECULIAR COMMUNITY ALL THE CITIZENS AGREE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN NEW YORK THERE COULD BE A DAY WITHOUT A CRIME AND A CUP OF COFFEE COST A DIME SUBWAYS EVEN RUN ON TIME BOY ONE, GIRL TWO, BOY THREE & GIRL THREE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN NEW YORK!

  • 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”.

  • The Outcast Manufacturers By
    The Outcast Manufacturers by Charles Hoy Fort CHAPTER I TO THE west, the street-wide Palisades, dull-gray as a block of lead; a streak of North River gleaming like bright, clean metal melted from the base. Windows of tenement houses black with the inside pall of dark homes, unclean children, seeming dirtier because of their pallor, playing ball, with a banana stalk for a bat, in the middle of the street. A dead horse lying in the southside gutter; boys jumping on it, enjoying the elasticity of its ribs; a greasy old man prying off the horseshoes. On the sidewalk, stained where passing epicures had thrown out stale beer before having pails and pitchers filled up again, stood a young man -- very young man; light clothes, straw hat, suit-case in hand -- tall young man with half-closed eyelids and wide, irregular, heavy lips; lids and lips like a fleeting impression of the stubby nails of fingers idly dropping a skein of worsted; young man standing irresolutely between the dead horse and the low stoop of a house. On the stoop's first step, a young woman, in a sleeveless wrapper, making her form serpentine, bulging out a hip to support an infant under her arm. On the top step, a burly woman, her hair gray with ashes that she had been sifting. "Scabs! scabs!" she shouted back into the house. "The boss inspector!" jeeringly from a woman, darkened in the front hall. "Union men for me!" from her of the powdered coiffure. "Union men who ain't afraid to go out of doors nights! "You can't stand out on the stoop with them, if things keeps up!" she said plaintively to the serpentine young woman, who budged some more, giggled, and, giggling, turned her face away.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.

    LEAVING HOME IN LATE LIFE: VOLUNTARY HOUSING TRANSITIONS OF OLDER ADULTS AS GIFT GIVING PRACTICES IN THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES by Tam Elisabeth Perry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Social Work and Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Ruth Dunkle, Co-Chair Professor Judith T. Irvine, Co-Chair Professor Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Professor Webb Keane Lecturer IV Holly Peters-Golden © Tam Elisabeth Perry 2012 DEDICATION For MKC, whose family and friends, local and non-local, gather to support her. This study on families, however defined, teaches us that in times of crisis, kindness and love reign. For my parents, Merle and Jeanne Perry, who prepared me for a path that could never be foreseen. For my husband, Richard Cooper, who has only ever wanted the best for me. To my daughter, Emma, who will always be my travelling companion. To my son, Ben, who makes us all laugh. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A heartfelt thanks to all the professors, friends, neighbors and family who helped support this project both intellectually and emotionally. I would like to thank my co- chairs, Ruth Dunkle and Judith Irvine, for their support through the project. I would also like to thank Berit Ingersoll-Dayton and other mentors in the School of Social Work such as Letha Chadiha and Michael Reisch. Only as I leave the School of Social Work at Michigan am I truly amazed at the training and resources available. Job Club particularly has been a wonderful experience in professionalization and I have appreciated the comradery there.
