Program H2020 Friday Night Jazz hosted by Felix Peikli Club Gustav H2020 09. Oktober - Lise Mæland & The Nightingales The Music of Ella Fitzgerald & Marylin Monroe In 1955 Ella Fitzgerald opened her initial engagement at the famous Mocambo nightclub in Hollywood, after Marilyn Monroe lobbied the owner for the booking. The booking was instrumental in Fitzgerald's career. It has been widely reported that Fitzgerald was the first black performer to play the Mocambo, following Monroe's intervention and this story is widely known as one of the music industry’s monumental leaps forward. Lise Mæland & The Nightingales will return to Club Gustav for the season premiere and perform the inspiring repertoire from these legends in jazz. // 16. Oktober - Felix Peikli & Friends feat. Knut Kippersund Remembering Ray Charles – 90th Anniversary The blind American singer and pianist, Ray Charles, pioneered the soul music genre during the 1950s by combining blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, and gospel styles. Through his major body of work, Charles’ is perhaps most recognized by his 1960 hit “Georgia on my Mind” that was the first of his three no. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Knut Kippersund, known from NRKs “Melodi Grand Prix” and “Beat 4 Beat”, will join Felix Peikli and friends as they return to pay homage to this legend in jazz. // 23. Oktober - Simple Jonny’s Easy Jazz Band The Swingin’ 1930s Simple Jonny’s Easy Jazz Band is perhaps Norway’s most joyful jazz ensemble - they present jazz classics with an upbeat and inspiring energy, with authentic and swingin’ atmosphere from the vibrant 1930’s. Their repertoire is drawn from the music of the Mills Brothers, Louis Armstrong & the Hot Fives, Frank Sinatra and many more. In addition to the usual line-up, they will feature the banjo instrument to their configuration for this one-off Club Gustav special! Join us in welcoming Simple Jonny as they return to Club Gustav for a musical throwback to the Swingin’ 30s! 30. Oktober - Swing’it! Prohibition Party 1923 – Halloween Special! Swing’it is the story of a group of dappers diggin’ the 20s era. Founded by the Norwegian band leader Martin Jarl whilst studying jazz music in London, this band has developed into one of the most successful trad jazz bands in Norway and Europe. They take the audience on a journey 100 years back in time to the 1920s New Orleans, telling stories about the roaring 20s and the foundation of jazz; about glamour, glitter and the Great Gatsby; about bootleggers, speakeasies and illegal parties during the Prohibition and flappers and dappers partying their nights away in the opulence and decadence of the Golden Era! // 06. November - Felix Peikli & Friends feat. Sisi Sumbundu Celebrating Women in Jazz Women have contributed throughout the many eras of jazz history, both as performers and as composers, songwriters and bandleaders. Already in the 1920’s “Ina Hutton & Her Melodears”, an all female orchestra, blazed trails through the American music industry at the same rate as their male counterparts like the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Benny Goodman Orchestra and many more. Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughan, Eartha Kitt – the list is long of women who laid down a lifelong contribution and dedication to the artform of jazz. Join us in welcoming vocalist extraordinaire Sisi Sumbundu, known from NRK “Stjernekamp”, as she joins Felix Peikli & Friends in paying homage to the female heroes in jazz. // 13. November - Felix Peikli’s Showtime! Band ft. Marlen Tjøsvoll The Music of Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Peggy Lee Felix Peikli has toured the world with his critically acclaimed ensemble "It's Showtime! Band" with 2 albums to their name. This unique group, featuring Christian Lundqvist (KORK) at the vibraphone is paying homage to their shared idols and giants in Jazz: Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton who left a forever lasting legacy pioneering through the 1930s swing era. For this season finale they will be joined by guest vocalist Marlen Tjøsvoll - known from NRK “Det Store Korslaget” and “Idol” - who’ll perform the works of Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, and Peggy Lee. .

  • West Hollywood, California's Go-To-Guide to the City's Three
    West Hollywood, California’s go-to-guide to the City’s Three Districts The Sunset Strip After decades of notoriety, the Sunset Strip continues to blaze its own path as a world-famous cultural landmark, setting trends in music, hotels, dining and shopping. This most famous stretch of Sunset Boulevard begins and ends in West Hollywood, and like the city it calls home, it is constantly breaking new ground and reinventing itself. Though it’s often been portrayed in movies like Sunset Boulevard, Almost Famous and Rock of Ages, visitors say that nothing compares to seeing the Sunset Strip up close and in person. Bordered on the west by Beverly Hills and on the east by Hollywood, this iconic 1.5 mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard features an array of world-class hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and spas. Through the years, the Sunset Strip has seen it all, starting with the seedy glitz of the 1920s, when Prohibition fueled the rise of nightclubs and speakeasies. Because West Hollywood was not yet an incorporated city, this strip of Sunset Boulevard was lightly policed, making the Strip the perfect playground for the rebellious denizens of early Hollywood. By the 1940s, swanky nightclubs like Ciro’s, Trocadero and Mocambo reigned supreme, attracting A-list celebrity clientele like Marilyn Monroe along with less savory characters like gangster Bugsy Siegel, who called the Strip his stomping grounds. In the 1960s, the Sunset Strip became the major gathering place for the counterculture movement in Los Angeles. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were fixtures of the Strip and the surrounding West Hollywood landscape.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.

Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.

  • An American Tour: 123
    An American Tour: 123 Hollywood’s Mocombo The Mocambo was a nightclub in West Hollywood, California, at 8588 Sunset Boulevard on the Sun- set Strip The Mocambo opened on January 3, 1941, and became an immediate success. The club's Latin Ameri- can-themed decor designed by Tony Duquette cost $100,000 (equivalent to $1,663,801 in 2017). Along the walls were glass cages holding live cockatoos, macaws, seagulls, pigeons, and parrots. With big band music, the club became one of the most popular dance-till-dawn spots in town. On any given night, one might find the room filled with the leading men and women of the motion picture industry. In 1943, when Frank Sinatra became a solo act, he made his Los Angeles debut at the Mocambo. On March 15, 1955 Ella Fitzgerald opened at the Mocambo, after Marilyn Monroe lobbied the owner for the booking. The booking was instrumental in Fitzgerald's career. The incident was turned into a play by Bon- nie Greer in 2005. It has been widely reported that Fitzgerald was the first Black performer to play the Mocambo, following Monroe's intervention, but this is not true. African-American singers Herb Jeffries, Eartha Kitt, and Joyce Bryant all played the Mocambo in 1953, according to stories published at the time in Jet magazine. Among the many celebrities who frequented the Mocambo were Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Errol Flynn, Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Henry Fonda, Lana Turner, Ava Gard- ner, Bob Hope, James Cagney, Sophia Loren, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, Nata- lie Wood and Robert Wagner, Grace Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, Howard Hughes, Kay Francis, Marlene Dietrich, Theda Bara, Tyrone Power, Jayne Mansfield, John Wayne, Ben Blue, Ann Sothern, and Louis B.

  • 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.
