The music, programmed and emceed by the NJJS’s own Jack Stine, swung from the first downbeat to the last coda. First up were Alan Dale and The New Legacy Band, who marked their 14th consecutive appearance at the event. This is one swinging outfit and they know their way around the Ellington, Basie and Cole Porter songbooks, to mention just a few. The Dale group was fronted for much of its performance by vocalist Bryan Clark. Clark’s look is 21st Century hip and he brings a contemporary sensibility to material associated with the likes of Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and other classic vocalists. He makes the music new and alive with his easygoing and swinging style.

  • Antonia Louisa Brico Was Born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1902. Little Is Known About Her Birth Parents, Johannes and Antonia (Shaaken) Brico, Who Died When She Was Two
    Antonia Louisa Brico was born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1902. Little is known about her birth parents, Johannes and Antonia (Shaaken) Brico, who died when she was two. Mr. and Mrs. John Wolthuis (mother’s first name unknown) became her foster parents. In 1907, she emigrated with them to Oakland, California attending school as Wilhelmina Wolthuis, the name they had given her. The Wolthuis home was not a happy environment. Antonia later said: “I’d dream about having an automobile accident in front of someone’s house just so they’d pick me up and be affectionate.” She began piano lessons at age 10 after a doctor suggested this remedy to overcome her nail biting. Soon she was performing at local churches and club meetings. Her original ambition to become a concert pianist changed when she attended a park concert conducted by Paul Steindorff. Rather than limit herself to one instrument, she decided to become a conductor. She later said: “The orchestra to me is the greatest instrument. It is to the musician what the palette is to a painter.” After her high school graduation in 1919, Mr. and Mrs. Wolthuis revealed for the first time that they were not her birth parents. Antonia immediately moved out and had no further contact with them. Antonia enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley. As luck would have it, Paul Steindorff, who had inspired her conducting ambitions, was director of music and, more importantly, director of the San Francisco Opera. Antonia became his assistant. When she received a B.A. with honors in music in 1923, people advised her to teach; a position awaited her, and conducting was no job for a woman.

  • SURF MUSIC by Geoffrey Himes
    SURF MUSIC By Geoffrey Himes It often seems that the United States is a pool table that has been tilted so all its hopes and dreams roll to the west. Whenever Americans want a new and better life, they head toward the setting sun. Whether it was the white-canvas covered wagons of the 1850s, the rusty Okie jalopies of the 1930s or the painted hippie vans of the 1960s, the direction is always westward—and eventually they collect in the pool table’s corner pocket known as Southern California. When Chuck Berry went chasing after his imagined utopia in the song “Promised Land," where did he end up? Los Angeles. Thousands of Hollywood movies had advertised Southern California as a nirvana of palm trees, sunshine, beautiful girls and beautiful boys, convincing folks from Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio to pack up and move to the coast. By the end of the 1950s, the area around L.A. was full of almost as many transplanted Midwesterners as native Californians. The natives knew the region was no utopia, but the first and second-generation immigrants, these strangers in paradise, still clung to the notion of America’s western edge as the place where their dreams might come true. The teens and twentysomethings in these families—too young and too new to the West Coast to be disillusioned— turned that utopian impulse into a new kind of rock'n'roll: surf music. Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, whose father and mother had moved to California from Kansas and Minnesota respectively, formed the Beach Boys.
