  • The 1957 Hourglass, the Staff Has Departed from the Usual Format
    T~e 1957 HOURGlASS presented by TH£ COlUfnBIH SCHOOl Ro c h ester , ne w Yo r ~ Volume 66 fORfWORO In offering the 1957 Hourglass, the staff has departed from the usual format. We present the book in a style and order depicting our theme, "Growth and Service," two intangibles of the spirit of Columbia. Our pages open with the tiny twigs, our Nursery Schoolers, and follow through years of growth and increasing service. They close with the class which, full grown in the Columbia spirit, will go forth to new worlds to the traditional strains of "Lead on, 0 King Eternal, the day of march has come." 2 OfOICATIOn It was before Pearl Harbor, but Hitler's armies were already on the march. Franklin Roosevelt was elected the first third-term President of the United States. Cincinnati beat Detroit in the World Series, and Joe Louis was World Heavyweight Champion. Our parents were seventeen years younger, trim of figure, ebullient in spirit. In that year, or close to it, to each of them was born a baby daughter. There follows a seventeen-year story of parents' sacrificing their own in­ terests for their daughters', and giving them the benefits of a Columbia School education. With the exception of the date and the events, the story is the same for parents of the entire school, Nursery through the Senior class. To all Parents of Columbia Girls, to express our heartfelt thank you for your continued love, guidance, and understanding, this 1957 Hourglass is affectionate! y dedicated. 3 AOrTIIniSTRATIOn MRS.

  • BOB SEDERGREEN: the INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson*
    BOB SEDERGREEN: THE INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson* _______________________________________________________ [This interview appeared in the December 1981 edition of Jazz Magazine] ver the last decade, I have had the pleasure of hearing pianist Bob Sedergreen play on many occasions: with vibist Alan Lee, with a succession of bands led O by Brian Brown, as the focal point of the Ted Vining Trio, with Onaje, as the wild card in Peter Gaudion’s Blues Express, providing fairly heroic support to visiting stars Jimmy Witherspoon, Phil Woods, Richie Cole and Milt Jackson, even solo. I have always enjoyed and admired his playing for its unflagging swing and qualities of joy, resourcefulness and commitment, and his determination to take chances at all times in search of inspiration, which he seems to find more frequently than most. He has long impressed me as a jazz musician who often plays ‘above himself’ because he has the courage to do just that. Bob Sedergreen: the sum total of his music is pure Sedergreen… In the last few years, he has continued to increase the scope and depth of his playing, and his confidence in it, to the point where he is obviously one of the best musicians in Australia. We have too few others who can so consistently be so exciting, original, inventive, surprising and enjoyable. __________________________________________________________ *In 1981 when this was published, Adrian Jackson was a freelance writer, who had been jazz critic with the Melbourne Age since 1978. 1 I won’t try to describe his playing. As with any really good jazz artist, his playing is a reflection of his listening and playing experiences, and his own personality.

  • Carnegie Hall Concert with Buck Owens and His Buckaroos”—Buck Owens and His Buckaroos (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Scott B
    “Carnegie Hall Concert with Buck Owens and His Buckaroos”—Buck Owens and His Buckaroos (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Scott B. Bomar (guest post) * Original album Original label Buck Owens and His Buckaroos In the fall of 1965, Buck Owens was the biggest country star in the world. He was halfway through a string of sixteen consecutive #1 singles on the country chart in the industry-leading “Billboard” magazine, and had just been invited to appear at New York City’s prestigious Carnegie Hall. Already designated a National Historic Landmark, the esteemed venue had hosted Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Bernstein, and Ellington. Owens recognized the honor of being asked, but instructed his manager, Jack McFadden, to decline the offer. “When they first started talking about it, it scared me to death,” he admitted in a 1967 radio interview with Bill Thompson. Buck was worried the Manhattan audience wouldn’t be interested in his music, and he wanted to avoid the embarrassment of unsold tickets. McFadden pushed him to reconsider. When Ken Nelson, Owens’ producer at Capitol Records, suggested they record the performance and release it as his first live album, Buck finally conceded. Buck Owens’ journey to the top of the charts and the top of the bill at the most revered concert hall in the United States began in Sherman, Texas, where he was born Alvis Edgar Owens, Junior in 1929. By 1937, the Owens family was headed for a new life in California, but they wound up settling in Mesa, Arizona, when a broken trailer hitch derailed their plan.

  • 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”.

  • Tribute to the Cars to Appear at Hht
    PRESS RELEASE – September 17, 2018 Susan Carrier (951) 551-5363 [email protected] TRIBUTE TO THE CARS TO APPEAR AT HHT On Saturday October 6th, the Historic Hemet Theatre will host a tribute to The Cars, a band that pioneered synthesizer pop music in the late 70's and early 80's. Performing the tribute will be Heartbeat City, a band that has recreated the look and sound of the Cars, dressing in the 80's style of the band and perfecting a sound that is amazingly close to the real thing! Although less well known than other classic bands, The Cars were quite successful in their day, including being named "Best New Artist" by Rolling Stone in 1978 and "Video of the Year" for "You Might Think" at the very first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984. Their debut album, The Cars, sold six million copies and appeared on the Billboard 200 album chart for 139 weeks. Robert Palmer, music critic for Rolling Stone, described the Cars' musical style by saying: "they have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the '50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend." The Cars most memorable hits include "My Best Friend's Girl," "Just What I Needed," "Who's Gonna Drive You Home Tonight?," and "Good Times Roll." The members of Heartbeat City are Phil Rowland (drums), Jamie Rio (lead vocals, guitar), Don E Sachs (Lead guitar, vocals), Andy Catt (bass, lead vocals), Mark Adame (keyboard, vocals).
