SHIPPING DATE: MARCH 20, 2006 ARTIST NAT KING COLE TITLE Stardust The Complete Capitol Recordings 1955-1959 LABEL Bear Family Records CATALOG # BCD 16342 PRICE-CODE KL EAN-CODE 4000127 163424 ISBN-CODE 3-89916-152-1 FORMAT 11-CD Box-Set (LP-size) with 208-page hardcover book GENRE Pop TRACKS 298 PLAYING TIME 809:24 SALES NOTES Nat King Cole (1919-1965) was the most popular male singer of his generation, and, along with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, one of the four best known male vocalists of all time. Making Cole's story all the more remarkable, he began his career not as a pop singer but as one of the greatest of all jazz pianists. Yet by the time he had made the transition from jazz to pop, he had sold more records and racked up more hit singles than anyone in the immediate post-war era, even Frank Sinatra. He was also the first Afro-American pop music superstar - and still the greatest. Cole's baritone voice was sweet and pretty, and most of his greatest successes were with love songs. Still, he had the greatest time of any singer ever, and was equally well-versed in swinging rhythm numbers and blues. In his combination of tenderness and bluesy energy, Cole was a founding father of rhythm and blues and a major influence on the soul movement – as cited by Charles Brown, Ray Charles and many other later stars. Like Frank Sinatra, he collaborated closely with the greatest pop orchestrators of all time, particularly Gordon Jenkins, Billy May and in particular, Nelson Riddle.

Weston Voices the Oral History Project of the Weston Historical Society
Weston Voices The Oral History Project of the Weston Historical Society An Interview with Fred Hellerman Part I: April 5, 2016 Fred Hellerman was known world-wide as a folk singer, guitarist, producer, and song writer. He was also an original members of The Weavers, one of the most famous and influential folk groups of the last half of the 20th century, writing or co-writing some of their greatest hits. Accused, along with the rest of The Weavers, of having Communist sympathies, he and the group were blacklisted during the McCarthy era and unable to perform on television, radio, or in most music halls. The group broke up in 1952 as a result, but resumed singing in 1955. They continued together until 1963 (with changes in personnel). The Weavers held several reunion concerts in 1980s, documented in the film, “The Weavers: Wasn’t That a Time!” Hellerman was also known for producing Arlo Guthrie’s hit record album “Alice’s Restaurant” (1967) and wrote, backed, or produced for many other well-known performers, Joan Baez and Harry Belafonte among them. Hellerman has been interviewed extensively but an overview of his career by Bruce Eder can be found on the “All Music” website. Ken Edgar, a Trustee of the Weston Historical Society, conducted two interviews with Fred in the Spring of 2016. The first focused largely on Hellerman’s childhood in Brooklyn, his musical and political influences, and the start of The Weavers. In the second interview Fred was joined by his wife Susan Lardner and together they talked about coming to live in Weston in 1968 to join the many other creative people from New York already here.

New Releasesreleases Thethe Goldengolden Ageage Ofof Lightlight Musicmusic
NEWNEW RELEASESRELEASES THETHE GOLDENGOLDEN AGEAGE OFOF LIGHTLIGHT MUSICMUSIC Great Light Orchestras Salute George Gershwin & Jerome Kern The 20th Century was a time when popular songwriters were truly blessed by three wonderful inventions which transformed the way in which music became accessible to everyone, virtually on demand. The gramophone, radio and talking pictures created an almost insatiable appetite for words and music, which the entertainment moguls of the day did their best to satisfy. There must have been thousands of tunesmiths churning out melodies in the hope of attracting attention from a public always eager for more, but not all of them were gifted enough to be able to compose music that is still enjoyed many years after their lifetimes. Guild has previously saluted Richard Rodgers (GLCD5123) and Cole Porter (GLCD5127); now it is the turn of two more great songwriters George Gershwin and Jerome Kern. Gershwin’s life was tragically cut short by illness - he died in 1937 at the age of only 38, but he achieved more during his short period of creative writing than most of his contemporaries. Kern also died relatively young - he was 60 when he passed away in 1945 - but both these talented men were supreme in the fields of theatre, film and popular music, as this collection vividly testifies. GLCD 5148 The Show Goes On This album’s title is a well-worn cliché in thespian circles, and it perfectly sets the scene for a collection of mostly bright, up-tempo numbers with a theatrical feel. As one would expect, Irving Berlin’s “There’s No Business Like Show Business” is featured in a scintillating arrangement by Angela Morley, but the worlds of radio and television are also well represented alongside the cinema and musical theatre.
