Podcasts about Cotton Club

In 1983, Roy Radin, would-be impresario, joined forces with fading movie producer Robert Evans and Elaine "Laney" Jacobs, a woman with the burning ambition to use the millions she had made by drug dealing to buy her way into the movie industry. Together they planned to finance the movie Cotton Club. When Radin's body was found miles away from Los Angeles, the police had few clues and eventually had to put the investigation on hold. At the request of Radin's mother, New York Newsday's Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Steve Wick, began looking into Radin's last weeks and soon unearthed the sordid connection between deal making and drug dealing that set all Hollywood on its ear. Bad Company is both a fascinating and strangely repellent look at the darker side of the entertainment industry, as well as a striking portrait of the people who control the drug culture in this country.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Greg Jenner is joined in twentieth-century America by Dr Hannah Thuraisingam Robbins and comedian Desiree Burch to learn all about singer and Hollywood actress Lena Horne. Born into a middle class Black family in New York, a young Lena Horne soon followed in the footsteps of her actress mother and made her début at the famous Cotton Club aged only 16. After making her name as a singer and performer – and following the end of her tumultuous first marriage – Horne transferred to the west coast and bagged a Hollywood contract with MGM. There, she appeared in a number of classic films, including Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky. Over the next several years, she would also perform for the troops in the Second World War, fall in love with and marry a white composer and arranger, undertake an international tour, and become one of the most popular nightclub performers of the post-war era. But the racism of segregation-era America would also shape and limit the career of the woman known as ‘the first Black pin-up girl', eventually leading her to the civil rights movement and Black activism in the 1960s. This episode traces Lena's journey from young dancer to Hollywood star and renowned vocalist, along the way exploring her connections with figures including Billie Holliday and Martin Luther King Jr., and the injustice she spent so much of her career fighting against. If you're a fan of the history of cinema, mid-century America, and Black cultural icons, you'll love our episode on Lena Horne. If you want more musical icons with Desiree Burch, listen to our episodes on Paul Robeson, Josephine Baker, and Broadway Musicals.

Adelaide Hall (1901 – 1993), entertainer extraordinaire, really had it all: voice, talent, beauty, dancing chops, charisma, joie de vivre and sophistication. She was the first Black performer to attain international stardom, even before Joséphine Baker, with whom she shared a number of similarities (though Hall probably had the superior voice). She was the first singer to scat on record; she helped popularize both the Charleston and the Black Bottom and was considered the epitome of the Flapper; she introduced the world to a number of now-standard songs from the Great American Songbook; she appeared on a rare 1935 Vitaphone short that featured all Black performers; she and her husband owned and ran various night clubs in three different countries, as well as headlining at the legendary Cotton Club; and she headlined the sensational revue Blackbirds of 1928 and several other ground-breaking shows in the 1920s and 1930s. I got to know her work many years back when I happened to find a late-career LP of hers in the basement of an apartment building I was living in. I have been a fan ever since. The number of great musicians with whom she rubbed shoulders is almost mind-boggling (Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Fela Sowande, Joe Turner, and Art Tatum, for starters), and she continued to perform with gusto and sophistication into her late eighties, occasionally returning to her native US from London, where she settled in 1938 and lived until her death. Her range of influence is truly far-flung and her many recordings, made between 1927 and 1989, a generous sampling of which are offered on this episode, continue to bring consistent delight and surprise. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Am Stand von Brettspiel-News war zum Messegespräch Sven von Biberstein Spiele zu Gast, um über die Neuheiten des Verlags zu sprechen, der vor einem Jahr gestartet ist. Das Interview führte Toby. Nach den bereits vorgestellten Titeln „1980 Sixtinische Kapelle“ und „1998 ISS“ standen zum einjährigen Jubiläum zwei neue Spiele im Fokus: „1906 San Francisco“ und „1923 Cotton Club“. Ein wiederkehrendes Detail bleibt das kompakte Schachtelformat – gedacht für wenig Regalfläche und als „Mitnehmformat“ für Runden unterwegs. In der Einordnung wurden die Spiele je nach Mechanik zwischen gehobenem Familienspiel und Kennerspiel verortet. Dabei wurde betont, dass die Grundprinzipien bewusst zugänglich bleiben sollen, auch wenn sich über Aufgaben und Optimierung zusätzliche Tiefe ergibt. „1906 San Francisco“ setzt thematisch auf den Wiederaufbau von San Francisco nach dem Erdbeben von 1906. Gespielt werden kann 1–4 Personen, inklusive Solo-Modus und einer eigenen Variante für zwei Personen. Im Zentrum steht das Errichten von Häusern, gesteuert über einen Aktionsmechanismus: Aktionskarten liegen in zufälliger Reihenfolge auf dem Spielfeld, wodurch Entscheidungen stark vom Timing abhängen. Aktionen lassen sich nicht nur am eigenen Standort ausführen – bestimmte Felder können auch „aus der Distanz“ genutzt werden, dann gegen Zahlung von Dollar. Die Palette reicht von Material beschaffen über Baugenehmigungen bis zum Schutt räumen. Zusätzliche Punktequellen entstehen über öffentliche und private Aufgaben, die den Aufbauplan um Prioritäten und Abwägungen erweitern. Das Spiel endet nach maximal sechs Runden oder früher, sobald eine Person alle eigenen Häuser gebaut hat. „1923 Cotton Club“ führt nach Harlem in die Zeit der Prohibition und nimmt den Cotton Club als thematischen Bezug. Ziel ist es, den eigenen Club über Berühmtheiten und passende Voraussetzungen sichtbar zu machen. Mechanisch wird das über Worker Placement umgesetzt: Mit Geschäftspartnern werden Aktionsfelder belegt, um Ressourcen zu erhalten und Künstler zu gewinnen. Parallel wird der Club ausgebaut, und über gesammelte Symbole sollen die Vorlieben der auftretenden Persönlichkeiten erfüllt werden. Zusätzlich kommen Ereignisse ins Spiel, die neue Anforderungen setzen oder Bonuspunkte ermöglichen. Zu beiden Titeln wurde außerdem auf begleitende Hintergrundinfos verwiesen – etwa über Instagram, wo sich weitere Details zu Künstlern und historischen Bezügen finden sollen – sowie auf die Online-Präsenz des Verlags mit Shop und weiteren Informationen

Cotton Club de Francis Ford Coppola sorti en 1984 est un film à grand spectacle qui fait revivre les années folles, lʹessor du jazz, la Prohibition, la ségrégation, les débuts du cinéma parlant et les guerres de gangs. Coppola plonge dans lʹhistoire de New York et propose un film dʹaction musical musclé. Le Cotton club, fondé par un gangster en 1923, est un club de jazz en vogue à la fin des années 20. Tous les artistes sont noirs, tous les clients sont blancs. Dans ce cabaret, la pègre, les politiciens, les vedettes du moment boivent un alcool interdit et clandestin et sʹencanaillent avec des filles pas farouches. Dans les années 20, le Cotton club de New York permet au jazz né à Chicago et à New Orleans de se populariser. Les personnages à lʹécran sont inspirés de ce microcosme multiculturel dʹHarlem. Italiens, Juifs, Russes, Irlandais, Afro-Américains, ils sont bandits, acteurs, danseurs, chanteurs. Ceux qui connaissent pourront sʹamuser à retrouver des doubles étonnants de Duke Ellington et de Cab Calloway. On y croise Charlie Chaplin et des barons de la pègre. Coppola ajoute dʹautres personnages inventés pour faire avancer son histoire. Derrière cette superproduction, on trouve Robert Evans. Il y aura de gros dépassements de budget, des tensions. Le tournage est chaotique, souvent improvisé, Richard Gere boude pendant plus dʹune semaine, Coppola menace de tout abandonner, dʹautres financiers sont contactés, on finit par retirer la production à Robert Evans. Toutes ces embrouilles participeront à la légende du film, plutôt bien accueilli à sa sortie, légende que nous allons vous raconter.

Listen to music from Enoch “Sonny Boy” Williams, a Rhythm & Blues pianist and vocalist from Indianapolis.  Williams was born in London, Kentucky in 1917, but he was raised in Indianapolis. He began performing professionally in 1935, quickly establishing himself as a regular presence at Indiana Avenue venues including The Cotton Club, The Rhumboogie, and Sunset Terrace, where he became known for his energetic piano playing and engaging vocal style. In the early 1940s, Williams achieved national recognition through a series of recordings made for Decca Records. Among his most remembered records was the 1943 single “Reverse the Charges,” which became a modest hit. The song was influential enough that later artists such as Bud Powell and Etta Jones recorded their own versions.

Celebrate the Christmas holiday at Sea Ferguson's Cotton Club — a legendary Avenue nightclub that hosted the greatest stars in American music, from Ray Charles to Louis Armstrong. Along with his brother, Denver Ferguson, Sea played a key role in shaping the Avenue's entertainment scene. Sea was born in Brownsville, Kentucky, in December of 1899. He came to Indianapolis during the 1920s, and by the 1930s, he had become one of the most prominent businessmen on the Avenue. His influence as a civic leader in Naptown was recognized in 1938, when Sea was voted “Mayor of Bronzeville” — an informal title used in Black communities during segregation for someone who held real power and leadership in everyday life, at a time when official political power was often out of reach. Today, Sea is best remembered for his connection to the Avenue music scene. In 1931, he opened the Trianon Ballroom. The club's official grand opening took place on Christmas Eve of that year. The ballroom occupied the third floor of a building located at the corner of Vermont and Senate Streets. In 1933, Sea expanded to the first floor, opening a restaurant and bar called the Cotton Club. Before long, the name “Cotton Club” stuck, and locals used it to describe the entire building — not just the bar. Sea Ferguson hosted legendary concerts at the club, and on this week's show, we'll celebrate the season by listening to holiday music from the artists who performed there, including Fats Waller, Ray Charles, Big Maybelle, Charles Brown, Louis Armstrong, Lowell Fulson, and more.

He made his first recordings that set year, cutting a series of sessions with “Champion” Jack Dupree in Chicago.

Earlier this year, Francis Ford Coppola became the 50th person to be granted the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award- and the star-studded ceremony where he was presented the award was recently telecast on Turner Classic Movies. In honor of that, we are resharing our 1999 interview with Kenosha author Michael Schumacher in which we talk about his book "Francis Ford Coppola: A Filmmaker's Life." Coppola is renowned for directing and/or producing such films as "The Godfather," "The Godfather II," "Apocalypse Now," "The Outsiders," "Peggy Sue Got Married," "American Graffiti," and "The Cotton Club."

In the second installment of our Half Time Show, Andy, Stu and Ash continue their deep dive into the standout films and TV shows of 2025 so far - including granting the "Tiger King Award" to the film or show most deserving of being watched by everyone, everywhere! Then, it's back to the Cage-iverse with a look at Francis Ford Coppola's The Cotton Club (1984). With Nicolas Cage in a supporting role, the film blends jazz, gangsters, and Harlem nightlife into a lavish, chaotic spectacle. The lads unpack the film's troubled production, its ambitious dual narrative, and whether it deserves a second look in the context of Cage's early career.Socials: @CageFightingPodUse my special link (cagefighting) to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.

What a CreepSeason 29, Episode 5“The Cotton Club Murders”This week's episode covers the 1983 murder of Roy Radin, a theatrical producer with ties to a planned film called The Cotton Club. At the time, director Francis Ford Coppola and producer Robert Evans were developing the film, a period crime drama loosely inspired by the original club. Radin was found murdered execution-style in a remote canyon in California. The killing was eventually tied to a tangled web involving cocaine-fueled ambition, mob connections, and a bitter feud over money tied to the movie's production. One of the key figures implicated was Karen Greenberger, a drug-addled femme fatale with ties to organized crime.Trigger Warnings: Murder and sexual assault.Sources for this episode:Roy Raydin WikipediaWondery Hollywood & CrimeAll That is InterestingGolden Globes UPIVultureThe 1980s: The Deadliest DecadeLos Angeles Times 1991New York Times 1983Be sure to follow us on social media.

On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs.Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune.
