Podcasts about Duke Ellington

Like something from an Agatha Christie novel but instead of a work of fiction from the Golden Age this happened in the late 1980s to a 26 year old on her way to check out a potential new job. Deborah Linsley was friendly, kind and security conscious. No one could have predicted what happened to he on a March afternoon Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-monday-night-revue--4921180/support.Don't miss an episode - follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with me on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

En más de una ocasión el programa se ha dedicado al JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER de Nueva York (con tres escenarios, orquesta propia, sello discográfico y uno de los mejores archivos y biblioteca música en el mundo), todo dentro del impresionante centro de Artes Escénicas de la ciudad de Nueva York. Pero nunca nos habíamos detenido en la musicación que la Orquesta hace año tras año del gran archivo dedicado al gran pianista, compositor y director DUKE ELLINGTON del que hace unos años se editaron a la vez 14 discos con el título de LO ESENCIAL DE DUKE ELLINGTON con la Orquesta del Lincoln Center. Merece la pena que le dediquemos un programa.

While often overshadowed by his association with his longtime employer and collaborator Duke Ellington, composer/arranger and pianist Billy Strayhorn (born November 29, 1915) was no less a genius in his own right. In a life cut short by cancer at the age of 51, he produced a huge catalog of original music, all of it bearing his unique harmonic and melodic stamp. In his autobiography and in a spoken word passage in his Second Sacred Concert, Ellington listed what he considered Strayhorn's "four major moral freedoms": freedom from hate, unconditionally, freedom from self-pity (even through all the pain and bad news), freedom from fear of possibly doing something that might possibly help another more than it might himself, and freedom from the kind of pride that might make a man think that he was better than his brother or his neighbor. Jazz pianist Fred Hersch wrote of Strayhorn: "He was a quadruple threat: a great composer of jazz tunes, a first-rate jazz pianist, a remarkable songwriter (music and lyrics), and one of the all-time great arrangers for jazz orchestra."

Student journalist and first-time documentary filmmaker Matthew Winkler joins us to discuss his work on a film chronicling the life and career of Joya Sherrill, an unsung American jazz vocalist who wrote the lyrics to the Billy Strayhorn standard, "Take the A Train," made famous by the Duke Ellington orchestra. Matthew came across Sherrill's name during his freshman year at Tufts University, while doing research for Boston Globe journalist and noted biographer Larry Tye, who was writing a book about jazz. Matthew, a music and history major, was astonished to discover the small footprint Sherrill had left behind, despite being the first female jazz singer to visit the Soviet Union, accompanying bandleader Benny Goodman, and earning the distinction of being one of Duke Ellington's favorite singers. "Public-facing history is very important to me," Matthew told a reporter for Tufts Now, the university's alumni magazine, in an article detailing how the Tufts undergraduate grew a student research project into a feature-length documentary, with the help of his professors and mentors. "I hope this film will make people know who Joya Sherrill is and why we should care about her. On a broader level, I think a documentary like this will make people realize how easy it is for remarkable figures to fall through the cracks of history." With this conversation, it is hoped, he might also signal to aspiring storytellers how easy it is to keep their eyes and ears open for stories that might move us, inspire us, and enlighten us.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 17ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1970 ainmníodh duine a raibh ó Bhaile Átha Cliath aois 26 mar cheann amháin de na daoine a fuair bás ag an timpiste droichead I Melbourne. I 1986 bhí triúir duine saor ó ghortú nuair a thit eitleán ar fheirm I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 2011 thóg fear ó nDurlas 19 euro ó sparán san Ospidéal San Aonach Urmhumhan agus tháinig sé amach go bhfuair sé fíneáil de 100 euro sa Chúirt. Dúirt Breitheamh Elizabeth McGrath go raibh an fear sa Rannóg Fhisiteiripe san Ospidéal agus dúradh go raibh sé cláraithe in oideachas agus go raibh 57 ciontú aige. I 2019 tháinig sé amach go mbeadh áis imir nua do Newport. Leis an chostas de nach mór milliúin euro, dúradh go mbeadh sé go hiontach chun imreoirí sacar a fhorbairt agus chun feabhas a chuir ar an méid daoine a raibh san fhoireann. Sin Elton John le Candle In The Wind – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1997. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2007 fuair amhránaí Teresa Brewer bás ag aois 76. Bhí sí cáiliúil I timpeall 1950 agus bhí amhráin aici cosúil le Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now agus Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall. Chan sí le Tony Bennett agus Duke Ellington chomh maith. I 2008 bhris Madonna agus Guy Ritchie suas tar éis 7 mbliain le chéile. Tháinig an preas amach ag rá gan comhaontú réamhphósta go mbeadh Guy Ritchie chun fáil 50 milliúin punt ó Madonna a raibh 300 milliúin punt aici. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Felicity Jones sa Bhreatain I 1983 agus rugadh amhránaí Eminem I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1972 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 17th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1970: A 26 year old Dubliner was named as one of the 5 irish men killed in the Melbourne Bridge Disaster 1986: 3 pepople escaped injury yesterday when their light aircraft struck a tree and crashlanded on a farm in Dublin 2011 – A Thurles man who took E19 from a woman's purse in Nenagh Hospital was fined E100 at a sitting of Nenagh District Court. Judge Elizabeth MacGrath heard that the man was found in the Physiotherapy Department of Nenagh Hospital. Judge MacGrath heard that the man had enrolled in educational training, and had 57 previous convictions.  2019 - A state-of-the-art playing ground for Newport Soccer was finally brought to fruition. Almost El million was invested in the project, which would encourage and develop those who avail  of the services.  That was Elton John with Candle In The Wind – the biggest song on this day in 1997 Onto music news on this day In 2007 US singer Teresa Brewer died aged 76. She was one of the most popular US pop singers of the 1950s scoring hits such as ‘Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now' and ‘Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall.' She also sang with Tony Bennett, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Wynton Marsalis. 2008 Madonna and Guy Ritchie announced that their seven-year marriage was over because they had drifted apart. The press reported that without a pre-nuptial agreement, Ritchie could be looking at up to £50million of Madonna's £300million fortune. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Felicity Jones was born in the UK in 1983 and rapper Eminem was born in America on this day in 1972 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Halloween over Florence: THE MARKET OF GHOSTSSeverino lived in the bell tower on the hill — the one next to the ancient Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.Every evening, at sunset, he would lock the gate at the base of the entrance stairway and before climbing back up, he would pause to watch Florence color itself amber.And so he did today as well. The tourists had left. Time stopped and silence became sacred again.Through the rusted bars the city stood there motionless — perhaps since forever; with its red roofs, marble facades and the Arno flowing between its stones like a glittering silver ribbon.Domes and towers trembling with light, almost suspended in the air, as if everything and everyone were holding their breath waiting for twilight — and for the night that would cover it with shadows, stars and dreams.One more glance, then he turned on his transistor radio that he had found a few years ago and the notes of Duke Ellington's 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore' filled the autumn evening.Silence may be sacred for the monks, but for Severino music was more so. Seven, his raven, didn't need to be called and at the first notes launched himself from the cypresses of the cemetery above, circled in front of the imposing facade of the Basilica and suddenly glided down along the stairway, to land gently on his left shoulder."Hey Seven, had a good day?""Yes. Could have been worse — Let's settle for that."At which, Severino smiled, turned up the radio's volume and began climbing resolutely toward le Porte del Cielo, while Jazz music echoed among the ancient stones.Nine years ago, on this same day in the month of October, the Olivetan monks residing in the Abbey found a child on the steps of the Basilica.He was there, wrapped in fog, silent as the night, eyes curious as the wind, without name and without past. They called him Severino — I don't know why — and he grew up among prayers and silences. He played in ancient rooms and discovered his world, surrounded by books, tombs, art and mysteries never revealed. At night a raven and a black cat accompanied him, illuminated by the moon, in the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, wandering among imposing crypts and motionless statues that whispered memories and mysteries.But on Halloween nights the whispers transform into screams and endless laments. Secrets manifest themselves, legends become reality, and dreams disguised as nightmares knock on doors lit by candles. And that full moon night was precisely this night: October 31st — and remember, whether you believe in spirits or not, nothing changes: the ghosts will come.And Severino was up there, right there waiting for them to arrive. Leaning out the highest window of the bell tower, calm, looking at Florence from above. While Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight' played on his radio, he watched — tapping time with one foot and waited.At the second of the twelve strokes of the midnight bells, something began to happen. On the Arno formed a dense fog that pulsed with spectral green. It began to rise and slide slow but inexorable over the bridges like fingers of cold hands of impatient ghosts. It slid over the Ponte Vecchio and rolled through the streets of Oltrarno until reaching San Niccolò, where it climbed up the hill swallowing everything it found in its path.When it reached the gate of San Miniato, it slipped through the bars and climbed up the stairs until it covered, like a high luminous tide, the entire square in front of the church. It climbed up the marble facade and wrapped also the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, covering the entire hill in a cloak of mystery. Then slowly, as if by enchantment, the fog began to dissolve rising toward the sky and when the last cloud melted into the night air, the square was no longer empty.Small jack-o'-lanterns with flickering lights floated in the air smiling with teeth of fire. Black candles sprouted from nowhere, illuminating spectral stalls full of everything and nothing. Bats that seemed made of paper but were alive fluttered among the lights with wings of black velvet, while autumn leaves danced without wind, sparkling with gold and copper. Pumpkins of every shape filled the stands, some carved with funny faces, others covered with silver spiderwebs that shone like threads of moon. Witch hats swirled in the air like flying umbrellas rotating slow on themselves. Roasted chestnuts perfumed the air with cinnamon and mystery, while small dancing skeletons tinkled like ice bells.And finally in the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, the Portal opened. Like every Halloween, for centuries, spirits from all over the world congregated in Florence for their annual meeting. A spectral river of ghosts poured into the square, each heading toward their own stall, and each with their impossible merchandise to sell or trade. The spirits had arrived and Severino observed them from above. A carnival of other worlds, made of sounds, colors and unimaginable stories.The deserted square had transformed into the Market of Ghosts. Stalls kept materializing from nowhere, carved and glowing pumpkins told each other stories of Halloweens past, present and future laughing malicious among the perfumes of lost memories, past centuries, tomorrow's candles and fallen stardust. The sky above the Tuscan hills and above Florence was full of ghosts arriving from everywhere to search for the unfindable. But no human eye could see this spectacle. No one except Severino, who descended from the tower enchanted by that spectacle and immersed himself in the crowd pulsating with otherworldly life. Seven circled above him observing with attentive eyes and cawing a bit nervous. Some ghosts looked at him with curiosity and recognized him. Someone greeted him and many others whispered his name in forgotten languages."There he is," murmured a witch from Prague."The child of time," sighed a Norman knight."He's returned, I told you so." laughed a Caribbean pirate.But Severino paid them no attention because there were ghosts selling: dreams of sleeping dragons, laughter of northern gnomes, tears of mermaids in love, the last breath of dinosaurs, shadows of unicorns. And even fears from past Halloweens — two for the price of one, but only for tonight. The ghost of a pirate who died during a boarding gone not so well shouted: "Storm bottles! Lightning in jars!" A witch from Salem whispered: "Love potions that last three lifetimes…" A medieval knight showed swords that cut fear, A Chinese spirit waved kites that fly into the past.The spectral crowd grew and thickened, laughed and bargained, while Severino walked amazed and fascinated among the impossible stalls of the Halloween Market. Seven cawed restless from above and Eleven, the black cat with orange eyes, jumped from one tent to another not losing sight of a single movement of Severino and the hundreds of souls circling around him.A ghost monk from an era that never existed saw him and smiled at him from behind a stall full of ancient radios adorned with mysterious symbols. Severino approached, fascinated."How wonderful! Do they all work?""Oh yes, certainly" replied the monk. "These transmit on the waves of past, present, and future time. But you don't need to buy one."The other ghosts stopped. They ceased selling, buying and bartering. They looked at Severino with respect and listened to what the collector of frequencies told him."The transistor radio you already have is more special than you think. But to discover its true secrets, you'll have to search in the ancient crypts where everything began."And suddenly the first lights of dawn began to illuminate the sky behind San Miniato with pink. In rush and hurry the ghosts said goodbye flying away in the wind. "Until next Halloween!" They told each other crossing in the sky. The stalls vanished. Lanterns and candles went out. The Market of Ghosts dissolved like a dream.Severino found himself alone in the empty square, Seven on his shoulder and Eleven sitting on the low wallLooking at Florence illuminating itself in the day of All Saints. He observed his old radio with new eyes and from the ancient crypts of San Miniato, something seemed to call him. He turned it on, turned up the volume and descended the stairway in time to Chet Baker's version of 'Autumn Leaves'.It was time to throw open the gate of the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.___________________We will continue this story....

Halloween sopra Firenze: IL MERCATO DEI FANTASMISeverino viveva nel campanile sulla collina — quello accanto all'antica Basilica di San Miniato al Monte.Ogni sera, al tramonto, chiudeva a chiave il cancello alla base della scalinata d'ingresso e prima di risalire su, si soffermava ad osservare Firenze colorarsi d'ambra.E così fece anche oggi. I turisti se ne erano andati. Il tempo si fermò e il silenzio tornò sacro.Attraverso le sbarre arrugginite la città stava là immobile — forse da sempre; con i suoi tetti rossi, le facciate di marmo e l'Arno che scorreva fra le sue pietre come uno scintillante nastro argentato. Cupole e torri tremolanti di luce, quasi sospese nell'aria, come se tutto e tutti stessero trattenendo il respiro in attesa del crepuscolo — e della notte che l'avrebbe coperta di ombre, stelle e sogni.Ancora uno sguardo, poi accese la sua radio a transistor che aveva trovato qualche anno fa e le note di 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore' di Duke Ellington riempirono la serata autunnale.Il silenzio sarà sacro per i monaci, ma per Severino la musica lo era di più.Seven, il suo corvo, non si fece chiamare ed alle prime note si lanciò dai cipressi del cimitero sovrastante, volteggiò davanti alla facciata imponente della Basilica e d'improvviso planò in basso lungo la scalinata, per posarsi gentilmente sulla sua spalla sinistra. “Ciao Seven, passata una buona giornata?”“Sì. Poteva andare peggio — Accontentiamoci.” Al che, Severino sorrise, alzò il volume della radio e iniziò a risalire deciso verso le Porte del Cielo, mentre la musica Jazz echeggiava tra le pietre millenarie.Nove anni fa, in questo stesso giorno del mese d'Ottobre, i monaci Olivetani residenti nell'Abbazia trovarono un bambino sui gradini della Basilica.Stava lì, avvolto nella nebbia, silenzioso come la notte, occhi curiosi come il vento — senza nome e senza passato. Lo chiamarono Severino — non so il perché — e crebbe tra preghiere e silenzi. Giocava in stanze antiche e scopriva il suo mondo, circondato da libri, tombe, arte e misteri mai svelati.Di notte un corvo ed un gatto nero lo accompagnavano, illuminati dalla luna,  nel Cimitero Delle Porte Sante, vagando fra cripte imponenti e statue immobili che sussurravano memorie e misteri.Ma nelle notti di Halloween i sussurri si trasformano in grida e lamenti senza fine. Segreti si manifestano, leggende diventano realtà, e sogni mascherati da incubi bussano a porte illuminate da candele. E quella notte di luna piena era proprio questa notte: il 31 d'Ottobre — e ricordati, che tu creda agli spiriti o no, niente cambia: i fantasmi arriveranno.E Severino era lassù, proprio ad aspettare che arrivassero. Affacciato alla finestra più alta del campanile, tranquillo, guardando Firenze dall'alto. Mentre 'Round Midnight' di Thelonious Monk suonava nella sua radio, lui guardava — batteva il tempo con un piede ed aspettava.Al secondo dei dodici rintocchi delle campane di mezzanotte, qualcosa cominciò a succedere. Sull'Arno si formò una nebbia densa che pulsava di verde spettrale. Iniziò a salire e scivolare lenta ma inesorabile sui ponti come dita di mani fredde di fantasmi impazienti.  Scivolava sul Ponte Vecchio e rotolava per le vie d'Oltrarno fino a raggiungere San Niccolò, dove si arrampicava sulla collina inghiottendo tutto ciò che trovava sulla sua strada.Quando raggiunse il cancello di San Miniato, scivolò fra le sbarre e salì lungo le scale fino a coprire, come un'alta marea luminosa, tutto il piazzale antistante la chiesa. Si arrampicò sulla sua facciata di marmo e avvolse anche il cimitero delle Porte Sante, coprendo tutta la collina in un mantello di mistero. Poi lentamente, come per incanto, la nebbia iniziò a dissolversi salendo verso il cielo e quando l'ultima nuvola si sciolse nell'aria notturna, il piazzale non era più vuoto.Piccole jack-o'-lanterns con luci tremolanti galleggiavano nell'aria sorridendo con denti di fuoco. Candele nere spuntavano dal nulla, illuminando bancarelle spettrali colme di tutto e niente. Pipistrelli che sembravano di carta ma che erano vivi volteggiavano tra le luci con ali di velluto nero, mentre foglie d'autunno danzavano senza vento, scintillando d'oro e rame. Zucche di ogni forma riempivano i banchi, alcune intagliate con facce buffe, altre coperte di ragnatele argentate che brillavano come fili di luna. Cappelli da strega volteggiavano nell'aria come ombrelli volanti ruotando lenti su se stessi. Castagne arrostite profumavano l'aria di cannella e mistero, mentre piccoli scheletri danzanti tintinnavano come campanelli di ghiaccio.E finalmente nel cimitero delle Porte Sante, il Portale si aprì. Come ogni Halloween, da secoli, spiriti da tutto il mondo si congregavano a Firenze per il loro incontro annuale. Un fiume spettrale di fantasmi si riversò nel piazzale, ognuno dirigendosi verso la propria bancarella, ed ognuno con le sue mercanzie impossibili da vendere o scambiare.Gli spiriti erano arrivati e Severino li osservava dall'alto. Un carnevale di altri mondi, fatto di suoni, colori e storie inimmaginabili.Il piazzale deserto si era trasformato nel Mercato dei Fantasmi. Bancarelle continuavano a materializzarsi dal nulla, zucche intagliate e lucenti si raccontavano storie di Halloween passati, presenti e futuri ridendo maligne fra i profumi di memorie perdute, secoli passati, candele di domani e polvere di stelle cadute.Il cielo sopra le colline toscane e sopra Firenze era pieno di fantasmi che arrivavano da ogni dove per cercare l'introvabile. Ma nessun occhio umano poteva vedere questo spettacolo. Nessuno eccetto Severino, che scese dalla torre incantato da quello spettacolo e si immerse nella folla pulsante di vita ultraterrena. Seven gli volteggiava sopra osservando con occhi attenti e gracchiando un po' nervoso. Alcuni fantasmi lo guardavano con curiosità e lo riconoscevano. Qualcuno lo salutava e molti altri sussurravano il suo nome in lingue dimenticate."Eccolo," mormorava una strega di Praga. "Il bambino del tempo," sospirava un cavaliere normanno. "È tornato, ve lo dicevo io.” rideva un pirata dei Caraibi.Ma Severino non ci faceva attenzione perché c'erano fantasmi che vendevano: sogni di draghi addormentati, risate di gnomi del nord, lacrime di sirene innamorate, l'ultimo respiro dei dinosauri, ombre di unicorni. E perfino paure di Halloween passati — due al prezzo di uno, ma solo per stanotte. Il fantasma di un pirata morto durante un abbordaggio andato poco bene gridava:"Bottiglie di tempesta! Fulmini in barattolo!"Una strega di Salem sussurrava: “Pozioni d'amore che durano tre vite…”Un cavaliere medievale mostrava spade che tagliano la paura,Uno spirito cinese sventolava aquiloni che volano nel passato.La folla spettrale cresceva e si addensava, rideva e contrattava, mentre Severino camminava stupito e affascinato tra i banchi impossibili del Mercato di Halloween.Seven gracchiava inquieto dall'alto e Eleven, il gatto nero dagli occhi arancioni, saltava da una tenda all'altra non perdendo di vista un singolo movimento di Severino e delle centinaia d'anime che gli giravano intorno.Un monaco fantasma di un'epoca mai esistita lo vide e gli sorrise da dietro una bancarella piena di radio antiche ornate di simboli misteriosi. Severino si avvicinò, affascinato. "Che meraviglia! Funzionano tutte?""Oh sì, certamente" rispose il monaco, ”Queste trasmettono sulle onde del tempo passato, presente, e futuro. Ma tu non hai bisogno di comprarne una."Gli altri fantasmi si fermarono. Smisero di vendere, comprare e barattare. Guardarono Severino con rispetto e ascoltavano quello che gli diceva il collezionista di frequenze."La radio a transistor che hai già è più speciale di quanto credi. Ma per scoprire i suoi veri segreti, dovrai cercare nelle cripte antiche dove tutto ebbe inizio."E all'improvviso le prime luci dell'alba iniziarono a illuminare di rosa il cielo dietro San Miniato. In fretta e furia i fantasmi si salutarono volando via nel vento."Fino al prossimo Halloween!” Si dicevano incrociandosi in cielo.Le bancarelle svanirono. Lanterne e candele si spensero. Il Mercato dei Fantasmi si dissolse come un sogno.Severino si ritrovò solo nel piazzale vuoto, Seven sulla sua spalla e Eleven seduto sul muretto a guardare Firenze che si illuminava nel giorno di OgniSanti. Osservò la sua vecchia radio con occhi nuovi e dalle cripte antiche di San Miniato, qualcosa sembrava chiamarlo. L'accese, alzò il volume e scese la scalinata a tempo di 'Autumn Leaves' nella versione di Chet Baker.Era giunta l'ora di spalancare il cancello della Basilica di San Miniato al Monte.Continueremo questa storia. Per adesso un Buon Halloween a tutti voi, che possiate sempre credere nella magia! Storia scritta da Marco Ciappelli per "Storie Sotto Le Stelle" Halloween 2025Ascolta Severino's Playlist per le canzoni che accompagnano questa storia e iscriviti per scoprire nuove musiche ad ogni avventura.

In the 1950s, some ingenious Russians, hungry for jazz, boogie woogie, rock n roll, and other music forbidden in the Soviet Union, devised a way to record banned bootlegged music on exposed X-ray film salvaged from hospital waste bins and archives. The eerie, ghostly looking recordings etched on X-rays of peoples' bones and body parts, were sold illegally on the black market.“Usually it was the Western music they wanted to copy,” says Sergei Khrushchev, son of former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. “Before the tape recorders they used the X-ray film of bones and recorded music on the bones—Bone Music.”“They would cut the X-ray into a crude circle with manicure scissors and use a cigarette to burn a hole,” says author Anya von Bremzen. “You'd have Elvis on the lungs, Duke Ellington on Aunt Masha's brain scan — forbidden Western music captured on the interiors of Soviet citizens.”And we follow the making of X-ray recordings into the 21st century with Jack White and Third Man Records in Nashville, Tennessee.ProductionProduced by Roman Mars & 99% Invisible and The Kitchen Sisters Nikki Silva & Davia Nelson. With help from Brandi Howell, Andrew Roth and Nathan Dalton. We spoke with Sergei Khrushchev, son of Nikita Khrushchev; Gregory “Grisha” Freidin, Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literature from Stanford; Alexander Genis, Russian writer and broadcaster; Xenia Vytuleva, visiting professor at Columbia University in the department of History and Theory of Architecture; Anya Von Bremzen, author of a the memoir Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 17ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1970 ainmníodh duine a raibh ó Bhaile Átha Cliath aois 26 mar cheann amháin de na daoine a fuair bás ag an timpiste droichead I Melbourne. I 1986 bhí triúir duine saor ó ghortú nuair a thit eitleán ar fheirm I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 1986 don chéad uair I cúig bliana bhí laghdú den mhéid post déantúsaíocht a bhí ann san Iarthar Láir. I 1997 tháinig sé amach go mbeadh Mary McAleese agus Adi Roche chun easaontú ina fheachtas uachtaránachta in Inis. Sin Elton John le Candle In The Wind – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1997. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2007 fuair amhránaí Teresa Brewer bás ag aois 76. Bhí sí cáiliúil I timpeall 1950 agus bhí amhráin aici cosúil le Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now agus Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall. Chan sí le Tony Bennett agus Duke Ellington chomh maith. I 2008 bhris Madonna agus Guy Ritchie suas tar éis 7 mbliain le chéile. Tháinig an preas amach ag rá gan comhaontú réamhphósta go mbeadh Guy Ritchie chun fáil 50 milliúin punt ó Madonna a raibh 300 milliúin punt aici. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Felicity Jones sa Bhreatain I 1983 agus rugadh amhránaí Eminem I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1972 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 17th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1970: A 26 year old Dubliner was named as one of the 5 Irish men killed in the Melbourne Bridge Disaster 1986: 3 people escaped injury yesterday when their light aircraft struck a tree and crash-landed on a farm in Dublin 1986: For the first time in five years the industrial development Authority, mid west region, reports a decline in the number of manufacturing jobs created by them. 1997: Government candidate, Mary McAleese and Adi Roche, the peoples Alliance Candidate, will clash in their presidential campaigns in Ennis. That was Elton John with Candle In The Wind – the biggest song on this day in 1997 Onto music news on this day In 2007 US singer Teresa Brewer died aged 76. She was one of the most popular US pop singers of the 1950s scoring hits such as ‘Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now' and ‘Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall.' She also sang with Tony Bennett, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Wynton Marsalis. 2008 Madonna and Guy Ritchie announced that their seven-year marriage was over because they had drifted apart. The press reported that without a pre-nuptial agreement, Ritchie could be looking at up to £50million of Madonna's £300million fortune. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Felicity Jones was born in the UK in 1983 and rapper Eminem was born in America on this day in 1972 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

In At the Vanguard of Vinyl, Darren Mueller examines how the advent of the long-playing record (LP) in 1948 revolutionized the recording and production of jazz in the 1950s. The LP's increased fidelity and playback capacity allowed lengthy compositions and extended improvisations to fit onto a single record, ushering in a period of artistic exploration. Despite these innovations, LP production became another site of negotiating the uneven power relations of a heavily segregated music industry. Exploring how musicians, producers, and other industry professionals navigated these dynamics, Mueller contends that the practice of making LPs significantly changed how jazz was created, heard, and understood in the 1950s and beyond. By attending to the details of audio production, he reveals how Black musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Charles Mingus worked to redefine prevailing notions of race and cultural difference within the United States. Mueller demonstrates that the LP emerges as a medium of sound and culture that maps onto the more expansive sonic terrain of Black modernity in the 1950s.

In the book Play It Again, Sam Samuel Jay Keyser explores in detail the way repetition works in poetry, music, and painting. He argues, for example, that the same cognitive function underlies both how poets write rhyme in metrical verse and the way songwriters like Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn (“Satin Doll”) and Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart (“My Funny Valentine”) construct their iconic melodies. Furthermore, the repetition found in these tunes can also be found in such classical compositions as Mozart's Rondo alla Turca and his German Dances, as well as in galant music in general.Contact the author at Facebook as Samuel Jay Keyser and purchase the books wherever books are sold or ordered including Amazon.

The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark.  Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Paul the Trombonist. About Paul the Trombonist: Paul Nowell, widely recognized as "Paul The Trombonist," is a multi-talented artist rooted in Los Angeles, boasting roles as a music producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, performer, educator, YouTuber, and esteemed trombonist. His diverse skill set has led to private performances for a star-studded audience that includes names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, and Charlize Theron, among others. Garnering tens of millions of views, his original content videos stand testament to his growing acclaim. In his formative years, while performing in a jazz club in Cleveland with his ensemble, Paul caught the attention of Ron Ellington Shy — a notable figure linked to Duke Ellington and known for his involvement with the Drifters and Coasters. This chance encounter propelled him into collaborative projects with Ellington Shy. Not just that, his youth also witnessed a stint to perform with jazz icon Chico Hamilton's band, a worldwide tour with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and participation in the Tony-award-winning "best musical" "Memphis" written by Bon Jovi's keyboardist, David Bryan. His collaboration with the ten-time Grammy awardee Arturo Sandoval to create a series of online videos saw a meteoric rise to fame, captivating millions globally. The world of comedy has embraced Paul too, thanks to his collaborative performances with the renowned comedian Sinbad, amalgamating music and humor in an unprecedented style. His rich portfolio further extends to performances with soul music royalty Aretha Franklin, Seth MacFarlane — the brain behind Family Guy, the legendary Frankie Valli, and Noel Gallagher from Oasis. A proud alumnus of the Berklee College of Music, where he honed his skills under the guidance of trombone maestros including the illustrious Phil Wilson, Paul's journey came full circle when he reunited with Wilson to craft a successful video series, a project he cherishes dearly. This reunion bore the genesis of "Bone Masters," a pioneering internet show helmed by Paul, wherein he engages with living legends of the trombone world, orchestrating masterclasses and interviews, thereby creating the most expansive educational video library dedicated to the trombone. Paul's live performances are a league of their own, innovatively blending trombone with technology to forge sounds traversing Jazz, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Electronic genres. Leveraging modern technology and keyboards coupled with trombone improvisations, he crafts a transcendental musical experience. Apart from his musical endeavors, Paul is a well-recognized name in the online business arena, having secured numerous business accolades, including the prestigious 2 Comma Club awards on multiple occasions. His entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence are evident in every venture he undertakes, showcasing a multifaceted talent who continuously strives for greatness in the music industry and beyond. As a respected member of The Recording Academy, Paul contributes his vote annually at the Grammy Awards, holding a distinguished role in shaping the future of music.
