  • Appendix C Evolution of Arts Uses in the Arts Overlay Zone
    Appendix C Evolution of Arts Uses in the Arts Overlay Zone A short (and incomplete) history of the arts on 14 th and U Streets While there has been a significant amount of research and writing about the “Black Broadway” of U Street during the early part of the 20 th century, less information is available about the renaissance of arts and arts institutions in the neighborhood since the riots of 1968, and why the neighborhood can claim as many arts institutions as it does. This is a first attempt to put together a history of the theatric, visual, and musical arts as these institutions appear at the end of the first decade of the 21 st century, and is not meant to serve as a comprehensive review. A more thorough study of the history of arts in the community needs to be undertaken in order to capture a complete picture. In addition, much of the history is due to the initiative and accomplishments of a few key individuals, and those people each deserve to tell their story in their own words. As the arts district continues to develop, it will be important to return to this document and expand upon it to better appreciate why arts institutions are among us, how they have been able to sustain, and what can be done to encourage their longevity and growth in the decades to come. Theatres and theatrical groups The riots that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King left 14 th and U Streets largely intact, but scarred. Merchants used metal grates and sliding garage-style barriers to close their businesses at the end of the day.

  • Iconic Jazz-Rock Band 'Rocks the Dock'
    Iconic Jazz-Rock band 'Rocks the Dock' Posted by Dick Myers On 08/01/2016 Bo Bice (c) is the new lead singer for the iconic band Blood, Sweat and Tears, who performed July 29 at Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa. Chesapeake Beach, MD -- Next year it will have been 50 years that there’s been a band called “Blood Sweat and Tears.” Through many iterations, the group has remained constant to its originating sound--an eight-piece band with lead vocalist. They, like perhaps the more famous group Chicago, made popular what is known as “Jazz Rock,” fusing influences from rock, blues, pop, horn arrangements and of course jazz improvisation. None of the original members are with the touring group today, but they are still as strong as ever as witnessed by a rousing performance Friday night, July 29 for the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa’s Rock the Dock summer concert series. Blood, Sweat and Tears most prominent period was in the late 60’s after lead singer David Clayton Thomas replaced founding member Al Kooper. The highly-popular album “Blood, Sweat and Tears,” released in 1969, spawned three hits which all reached Number 2 on the Billboard charts: “You Made Me So Very Happy,” “Spinning Wheel,” and “And When I Die.” The only other single to crack to Top 20 was “Hi—De--Ho,” at Number 14 in 1970. That was penned by Carole King, whose grandson is now a member of the band. Blood, Sweat and Tears’ new lead singer, Bo Bice, is pushing the band back into prominence again.

Feel free to link to this archive. Send questions to office@stephenschwartz.com Pippin: Corner of the Sky alternate lyrics? Question: Dear Stephen, I'm a fan for over 30 years, blah blah. I have a question about Corner of the Sky. I've seen two different sets of lyrics for it; the one I'm familiar with has the lyrics "Rain comes after thunder; winter comes after fall" while the other one uses "Thunderclouds have their lightning". I learned the one I learned because that's the version my 1983 singing partner Heidi knew. Can you enlighten me about these differing versions? Also, for some strange reason my brain keeps wanting to do "Rivers will run" instead of "Rivers belong" and "Children play in" instead of "Children fit in"-- I think I was doing that back in '83 too. Why do I do that? Did such lyrics ever exist, or is it just my brain acting weird (and if so, should I correct myself?)? …Thank you for all your wonderful contributions both in the music world and on this board, archived messages of which I've been reading the past few days and from which I'm receiving much inspiration and support. -Walter Answer from Stephen Schwartz: Your guess was a good one.

  • City Within a City GREATER U STREET HERITAGE TRAIL
    City Within a City GREATER U STREET HERITAGE TRAIL For the first half of the twentieth century, this U Street neighborhood inspired and sustained the rich social, civic, and cultural life of Washington’s African American community. Follow this trail to the places that tell the story of this exceptional community in the heart of the nation’s capital. Welcome. Visitors to Washington, D.C. flock to the National Mall, where grand monuments symbolize the nation’s highest ideals. This walking tour invites you to deepen your experience of the nation’s capital by discovering the places where people in the Shaw/U Street neighborhood — for half a century the heart of African American business and culture in Washington — worked to make those ideals a reality. Adjacent to the famed Howard University, this neighborhood was home to Duke Ellington, leading African American art- ists and professionals, and a thriving black community of churches, schools, and social and civic organizations. Here people of color responded with strength to the injus- tices of segregation, engaging in some of the nation’s first civil rights protests while simultaneously building a vibrant urban center of their own —“a city within a city.” Duke Ellington mural G.
