We bring you a special episode from Sidedoor, a podcast about the treasures that fill the vaults of the Smithsonian. This story is inspired by “Big Band,” a defining work by the painter LeRoy Neiman.  Neiman was a character, a cultural gadfly and an omnipresent artist who sat for decades right at the nexus of professional success, cultural ubiquity, and critical disregard. What made him so popular? What made him so disdained? And what can we learn from how he resolved this dissonance?  Sidedoor is produced by the Smithsonian with PRX.  The Sidedoor podcast team is Justin O'Neill, James Morrison, Stephanie De Leon Tzic, Ann Conanan, Caitlin Shaffer, Tami O'Neill, Jess Sadeq, Lara Koch, and Sharon Bryant. The show is mixed by Tarek Fouda and the theme song and episode music are by Breakmaster Cylinder.  Decoder Ring is produced by Willa Paskin and Katie Shepherd.

Trumpeter/composer/arranger/bandleader/educator Tony Kadleck is one of the most sought-after trumpet players on the New York City scene, and has been for some time. He moved to NYC in 1986, following his studies at the New England Conservatory–and a stint in the trumpet section of The Buddy Rich Big Band–and his phone has been ringing ever since. For good reason; at every turn, Kadleck puts the music first, and more than takes care of business. He graduated from the Manhattan School of Music in 1989 and quickly hit the road with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Blood Sweat & Tears, and others. Eventually, Kadleck was in such high demand locally, for studio and stage work, that touring took a back seat. He played on countless jingles, scores for TV and film, and worked with the cream of the crop, including Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, Issac Hayes, and most recently Steely Dan, Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga, Santana, Weezer, Steve Tyrell, and many, many others. In addition to an on-going abundance of freelance sideman work with NYC's A-list artists, Kadleck is currently a member of many organizations, including the New York Pops, John Pizzarelli's “Swing Seven”, the Maria Schneider Orchestra, John Fedchock's NY Big Band, and can currently be heard on Broadway in the band for “MJ”.     To say that Kadleck is a rare bird is a major understatement. Possessing the expertise, musical acumen, phrasing, range, chops, and the desire to handle gigs as diverse as the New York Pops and The Who (for example) with straight-ahead professionalism and excellence is not common. His prowess now bears fruit on his own project, Sides (to be released on Marshall Gilkes' Alternate Side Records on February 10, 2023), which follows up his previous big band album, Around The Horn, and his debut as a leader, Extended Outlook. 

We spend the hour with arranger, composer, Big Band leader, Pops conductor, pianist, saxophonist, and (whew!) vocalist, Matt Catingub – who brings his talents to the Peristyle with the Toledo Jazz Orchestra. Get to know Matt as he talks about his mother, the singer Mavis Rivers (who signed on with Frank Sinatra's label in the late '60s), tells stories and drops names (George Clooney and Toni Tennille among them). Plus, we uncover some "Frank Facts" in our quiz of the day for the Sinatraphiles in our audience!

The conflict in Ukraine is referred to by many on social media as a Crowd Funded War. Mark J. Lindquist is an American air force veteran who now lives in Kyiv Ukraine and exemplifies this. He is one of numerous independent and self-funded volunteers who run small, nimble organizations and cooperate in a network to give life-saving assistance to Ukrainian civilians and soldiers. They go to places near the front and do what large nonprofit organizations cannot. These small volunteer groups have become a vital life-saving part of the Ukrainian defense struggle.Mark delivers clothes, equipment, and other life-saving necessities to the frontlines in the Donbas Region. He is a fundraiser for Ukrainian volunteer groups with his tax-exempt nonprofit organization called The A-Team. He is also a musician, entertainer, and social media influencer and during this conversation, he describes how he has used those talents towards moments of relief from war, for Ukrainians.This program is the second of two interviews with Mark.

I am an honest singer. I screw up on stage, I own it.  I laugh at myself. I look at people when I sing, I don't sing over them.  I'm just really human.   -Francesca Amari Our west coast swing continues with an interview that ended up taking place IN MY RENTAL CAR!  Francesca Amari is a fabulously talented cabaret singer, so when she agreed to be on the show, we made a plan to do the interview at a television station in Thousand Palms, California where she just happened to be filming that day. At the last minute, the studio we were supposed to record in became unavailable, so we punted and ended up driving to a hotel parking lot, right beside “the 10” which is California's mega highway.    As I set up my microphones and recording equipment, Francesca and I bonded over our love for 12-time Grammy winner Linda Ronstadt.   Bonus:  you'll hear us sing one of Linda's signature songs, LIVE from the front seat.  This interview is a deep dive into the heart and mind of someone who has been singing since she was about 2 years old, first with her siblings as The Amari Sisters and later on iconic stages and legendary venues from New York City to Hollywood, California.   Francesca is a master at the craft of cabaret singing and is willing to tackle just about every kind of vocal from pop tunes to Broadway, to Jazz to Big Band.  Her tributes to Linda Ronstadt and Gilda Radner are instant sellouts and her fans follow her wherever she goes. During the pandemic, she missed performing so much, she created a weekly live-stream event called Cocktails & Cabaret which earned her the 2021 BroadwayWorld Palm Springs Award for “Best Streaming Concert/Cabaret. www.francescaamari.com.  Part One of our time together includes Francesca's firm belief that she doesn't pick the songs she sings, they pick her. She also offers plenty of wisdom about harmonizing and sharing the stage with others.  Says Francesca:  “Your talent shines more when you are with other people who are also talented. “ No matter what you do for a living, Francesca's interview is full of the kind of wisdom you need to put your goals and dreams in motion.  #cabaretsinger #lindaronstadt #gildaradner#palmsprings #carkaroke

Er ist der Sonnenschein vom Bodensee: Schauspieler Mark Keller begleitet sein Publikum seit über 30 Jahren in Serien und Shows. Der Durchbruch für den gelernten KFZ-Mechaniker kam mit seinem Auftritt als James Dean in der "Rudi Carell Show" - das war 1989. Danach gab es für den Überlinger kein Halten mehr: "Sterne des Südens", "Alarm für Cobra 11" und seit 2008 auch als Dr. Alexander Kahnweiler in "Der Bergdoktor" - mit diesen Serien hat er sich in das kollektive Gedächtnis des deutschen Fernsehpublikums gespielt. Lässigkeit und gute Laune sind bei Mark Keller Programm, aber auch sein Leben hat Höhen und Tiefen. Kraft schöpft Keller dabei aus seiner Familie: Mit seinen beiden Söhnen Aaron und Joshua pflegt er ein enges Verhältnis, auch in der Öffentlichkeit: Als "Los Kelleros" tanzen und singen die drei schon seit einiger Zeit sehr erfolgreich in den sozialen Medien. Gesungen hat Mark Keller übrigens schon immer, früher war er Leadsänger in der Bigband der Bundeswehr, inzwischen stand er mit Helene Fischer und in diversen Fernsehshows vor einem Millionenpublikum auf der Bühne. Erst jetzt, am 24. Februar 2023, erscheint sein erstes eigenes Album "Mein kleines Glück". Damit erfüllt er sich einen Lebenstraum. Über seine Musik, den Wert von Familie, Geld, Erfolg und Treue sprechen wir mit Schauspieler und Sänger Mark Keller in SWR1 Leute.  Moderation: Nabil Atassi
