Antonia Bennett, acclaimed jazz songstress and daughter of world renowned vocalist Tony Bennett, to release heart-warming version of the 1929 Fats Waller classic “Ain't Misbehavin” on Friday, February 28th 2025, the first single taken from her forthcoming album titled ‘Expressions'.    Antonia's swingin' piano and vocal rendition will be accompanied by a light-filled intimate family-affair video that will feature Antonia, Antonia's daughter, and husband frolicking through sun-drenched rooms of their home, complete with fancy dress-ups and communal cooking moments in the kitchen.   “Ain't Misbehavin” was first recorded by a Bennett in 1964. Antonia's late father, Tony Bennett performed the classic for his album ‘When Lights Are Low'.    The youngest daughter of Tony Bennett and actress Sandra Grant Bennett, Antonia grew up in Los Angeles and started singing with her father by age four. During that time, Antonia was surrounded by some of the greatest vocalists of all time, including Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra – known to get up and sing at her father's parties during the holidays. Antonia's passion for music grew stronger.   In 2008, Antonia recorded "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" with her father, featured on his album"A Swingin' Christmas". In 2010, she released her own critically acclaimed EP, "Natural," produced by Holly Knight.  All About Jazz praised Antonia's debut, stating the EP "introduces Bennett as a gifted interpreter of jazz classics with an impeccable and accessible vocal style."    Her most recent album "Embrace Me", showcased ten standards from the Great American Songbook, including "All of You," "Embraceable You", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", and "Nice Work if You Can Get It." 

In this interview with Tom Morris, a veteran of orchestra management whose career included leadership roles with the Boston Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra, conductor Devin Patrick Hughes provides a comprehensive look at the inner workings of orchestral institutions, the evolution of their management, and the crucial role of music in their success. Morris's journey from a percussionist to a top-level administrator offers a unique perspective, and his reflections provide valuable lessons for anyone interested in the performing arts. One of the most compelling aspects of the interview is Morris's discussion of how his musical background shaped his management philosophy. He emphasizes his deep understanding of musicians' lives, having experienced firsthand the challenges and demands of performing in an orchestra. This empathy enabled him to build trust with musicians and approach labor negotiations with a unique perspective. Morris's belief that "ultimately these institutions are about the music" underscores the importance of passion and artistic integrity in organizational leadership. The episode also explores the historical evolution of orchestra management, particularly the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Morris recounts how, before the 1970s, the orchestra relied on simple postcards for subscription renewals. He explains that over the seventies and eighties, the percentage of the budget earned from ticket sales gradually fell. This shift necessitated the development of marketing and fundraising departments, leading to a significant increase in administrative staff.  Morris shares fascinating insights about the Boston Pops, emphasizing that it was founded in 1885, before Arthur Fiedler became its 17th conductor in 1929. The Boston Symphony created the Pops to provide more employment for musicians and to perform lighter music for a broader audience. He discusses how the Boston Symphony transformed Symphony Hall into a "beer hall" to accommodate a more informal setting for the Pops concerts. He explains that in the early days the Pops sold blocks of tickets to community groups and did not have to focus on individual ticket sales. He also recounts how the popularity of Arthur Fiedler was enhanced even further by the "Evening at Pops" television series. Morris details the process of selecting John Williams as Fiedler's successor, explaining that Williams was chosen for his musical integrity and knowledge of the symphony orchestra. Furthermore, the interview addresses the crucial dynamic between management, the music director, and the board of directors, which Morris refers to as the "Bermuda Triangle.” Morris suggests that this structure can function perfectly if the right people are in those roles and are bound by a common vision. He also emphasizes that having a collaborative culture is essential, but that collaborative decision-making should be avoided. Morris stresses the importance of clear lines of authority and not settling for "good enough" when hiring. He also shares that when hiring he uses Jim Collins' three C's: competence, character, and chemistry. These points underscore the need for strong leadership and a shared vision in any successful organization. Morris also touches on the importance of thoughtful programming. He humorously mentions his collection of "dumb programs" and emphasizes the importance of carefully considering the combination of pieces in a concert. He contrasts examples of bad programming with one of his favorites, a concert he organized with Christoph von Dohnányi, which combined pieces by Ligeti, Wagner, and Bruckner. This conversation highlights that thoughtful artistic direction is an essential element in the success of an orchestra. Thank you for joining us on One Symphony.

Welcome back to Busy Kids Love Music! In today's episode, we kick off a brand-new series all about one of America's most beloved composers, George Gershwin. From his humble beginnings in Brooklyn to his rise as a composer who seamlessly blended jazz and classical styles, Gershwin's life and music continue to captivate audiences of all ages.

Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics for some of the most enduring songs in the Great American Songbook, including "I Got Rhythm," "S'Wonderful," "Embraceable You," "Love is Here to Stay," and "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off." Biographer Michael Owen talks about Ira's collaboration with his brother George, his writing process, and the line he added to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Later, jazz historian Kevin Whitehead remembers drummer Roy Haynes.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The history books forgot about the 1944 radio adaptation of Wake Up and Live, a bizarre and disastrous production in which a fascist self-help book adapted into a comedy movie about duelling radio shows is adapted back into a radio show in which several other radio shows exist within the world of this radio show, and characters with real people playing themselves are altered back into fictional characters again. And THIS was Sinatra's second ever acting role of any kind, fresh off the back of the similary convoluted film Higher and Higher. On top of that, this was also the first time he recorded both "Embraceable You" and "Dancing in the Dark" and he delivers show-stopping performances of both, truly making this a historic moment in time. Yet all of this has essentially gone undocumented. This week on SUDDENLY, you'll hear the original radio broadcast in full as we try to make sense of what this all is - and we're not even done with Wake Up and Live yet. contact: suddenlypod at gmail dot com website: suddenlypod.gay donate: ko-fi.com/suddenlypod

durée : 00:39:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit - En 1965, dans l'émission "Connaître le jazz", on décortiquait les variations de ce genre musical. Entre acceptation et refus de thèmes tirés de la variété, les musiciens de jazz ont composé une palette musicale singulière. (1ère diffusion : 16/10/1965) * L'aventure du jazz fut celle de la liberté. Il s'est agi, pour les musiciens qui puisaient dans la chanson populaire, de ne pas rester prisonniers de son allure et de son climat. Cette chanson populaire, ils l'ont d'abord respectée, à regret ou non, puis ils l'ont ensuite modifiée à leur image. * Dans cette émission de 1965, Lucien Malson et le critique de jazz André Hodeir mettent en lumière comment des interprètes ont cherché à transcender des thèmes populaires dans une syntaxe propre au jazz. A titre d'exemple, on y écoute "The Man I Love" de Miles Davis ou encore "Embraceable You" de Charlie Parker.

In the mid 20th century, brothers George and ira Gershwin produced many of the songs that have lived in America's heart for decades. With George's melodies and Ira's lyrics, tunes like "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Embraceable You," and "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" have endured for decades. In 1977, a young cabaret singer named Michael Feinstein went to work as Ira Gershwin's personal archivist. For the next six years, until Gershwin's death, feinstein worked closely with him, gathering insight, inspiration, and some great stories about Gershwin and his contemporaries like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Irving Caesar, among others. In 1995 feinstein wrote a memoir, called Nice Work if You Can Gt It. And that's when I met him.

Synopsis Imagine the cocktail party bragging rights you'd have if you had attended the first night of “Girl Crazy,” a musical that opened in New York on today's date in 1930. That show marked the Broadway debut of Ethel Merman, and co-starred Ginger Rogers. But that's just for starters… The pit orchestra that night included Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Dorsey, and Jack Teagarden – gentlemen who would all go on to become famous band leaders in their own right. Speaking of band leaders, for the opening night of “Girl Crazy,” the show's composer, George Gershwin himself, was there conducting that all-star ensemble. For his part, Gershwin recalled: “With the exception of some dead head friends of mine, especially the critics, I think the notices, especially of the music, were the best I have ever received.” Gershwin was right: “Girl Crazy” included two songs that quickly became classics: “I Got Rhythm” and “Embraceable You.” The show ran for 272 performances – an impressive statistic in the first year of the Great Depression, and Hollywood produced not one but TWO cinematic versions of the show in 1932 and 1943.

Embraceable You, the Full Monty by Music from Randy Resnick

For this album swap Nate chose Come In by Children 18:3 and Josh chose Embraceable You by Chet Baker. If you haven't listened to these albums yet do that and then come see what we have to say about them!

In 1933 Billie Holiday made her first recordings, with Benny Goodman. Two years later, a series of recordings with Teddy Wilson and members of Count Basie’s band brought her wider recognition and launched her career as the leading jazz singer of her time. She toured with Basie and with Artie Shaw in 1937 and 1938 and in the latter year opened at the plush Café Society in New York City. In the early 40s she began to perform exclusively in cabarets and in concert. Her recordings between 1936 and 1942 marked her peak years. During that period she was often associated with saxophonist Lester Young, who gave her the nickname “Lady Day.” Enjoy. ---- Join the conversation on Facebook at ---- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008232395712 ---- or by email at: dannymemorylane@gmail.com ---- You’ll hear: 1) They Can't Take That Away From Me 2) Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do 3) A Foggy Day 4) You Go To My Head 5) What Is This Thing Called Love 6) Stars Fell On Alabama 7) Speak Low (When You Speak, Love) 8) As Time Goes By 9) Some Other Spring 10) Easy To Love 11) I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm 12) I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me 13) Everything I Have Is Yours 14) Embraceable You 15) Come Rain Or Come Shine 16) April In Paris 17) The Saint Louis Blues

One of the most popular Jazz standards of them all, "Embraceable You", takes the spotlight on this episode of Same Difference. Join AJ and Johnny as they listen to and discuss some classic versions of this standard, including recordings from Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, and Nat King Cole.

When jazz trumpeter Chet Baker began to sing on his records, his voice received a polarizing response, to put it lightly. At first, critics despised his light and dreamy voice paired with minimal accompaniment. However, audiences loved it, and Chet became a household name. This album, Embraceable You, was recorded in the middle of his success, but wasn't released until 1995, about 40 years after the recording. The label thought it was "too depressing" to put out and is often forgotten about in Chet's enormous discography.Singer/songwriter Bruno Major joins us from London to talk about this long lost album, Chet's signature voice and delivery, and bringing Baker's tunes to a new audience.More on Bruno MajorOld Soul music videoCheck out Bruno's new album To Let A Good Thing DieBruno's version of Like Someone  In Love live in JakartaMore on Chet BakerLet's Get Lost, the documentary on Chet BakerBorn To Be Blue: Chet Baker In 5 Songs (NPR)Time After Time: The Lasting Legacy Of Chet Baker (uDiscover Music)Show Tracklisting (all songs from Embraceable You unless otherwise indicated):On Green Dolphin StreetSarah Vaughan: Embraceable YouNat King Cole: Embraceable YouBillie Holiday: Embraceable YouEmbraceable YouOn Green Dolphin StreetBruno Major: Old SoulChet Baker: My Funny ValentineChet Baker: Come All Ye FaithfulThe Night We Called It A DayChet Baker: You Make Me Feel So YoungLittle Girl BlueCome Rain Or Come ShineLittle Girl BlueBruno Major: Old FashionedChet Baker: I'm Old FashionedThere's A Lull In My LifeHow Long Has This Been Going OnSarah Vaughan: How Long Has This Been Going OnForgetfulThe Night We Called It A DayThere's A Lull In My LifeBruno Major: Like Someone In LoveEmbraceable YouThe Night We Called It A DayEmbraceable YouChet Baker: My IdealJoão Gilberto: UndiúAntônio Carlos Jobim: OvertureHere is the Spotify playlist of as many songs as we can find on thereIf you’re not already subscribed to Heat Rocks in Apple Podcasts, do it here!

This week I play a couple different versions of five different jazz standards. The five are: I Want To Be Happy, Embraceable You, Milestones, God Bless the Child, and Impressions. One of those tunes came about after another tune by the same name was recorded by the same artist. Guess which one. Then there was…Continue reading Episode 111: More Jazz Standards

Jeff Coffin presents, a performance, masterclass, & interview with Don Aliquo, Jonathan Wires, and Matt Endahl. The Tunes: Ask Me Now (00:52) Bemsha Swing feat. Jeff Coffin (03:24) Embraceable You (15:25) Blue Rhombi (36:45) Musicians in Nashville are experiencing widespread cancellation of gigs, lessons, touring, and recording sessions due to not only the coronavirus but also the devastating tornados that touched down here in March 2020. Some have lost their homes and instruments and are having a challenging time making financial ends meet. Musicians need these jobs to feed their families and pay their bills, but most are unable to work. We believe that doing something is better than doing nothing, so we have decided to start a live online, streaming, 50-minute concert series called iTA Studio Streams to help some of these incredible musicians. iTA Studio Streams will feature some of Nashville's local musical heroes playing live and taking a few questions for an online-only audience. Donations are encouraged and can be made via PayPal and Venmo during, as well as after, the performance. No amount is too large to donate and 100% of your generosity goes DIRECTLY to the artists. We thank you!!!

It's easy to think of Nat King Cole as "that Christmas song guy" but his musical output is truly astounding, recording hundreds of songs with over a hundred of them becoming hits on the pop charts. The Complete Capitol Recordings of the Nat King Cole Trio is by far the largest album we've ever discussed on Heat Rocks and we couldn't have asked for better guests to come break it down with us.   Nate Sloan and Charlie Harding of the Switched on Pop podcast sit down with us to talk about this enormous anthology, the timbre of Cole's voice, and the ubiquity of the AABA song structure. Stay tuned to the very end for a special Heat Rocks theme song workshop. More on Switched on Pop Get Charlie and Nate's book!

The Hot Box 49 is an advanced peak behind the curtain of an upcoming concert from the RTE Concert Orchestra featuring a feast of George Gershwin music cantering on the first ever live performance of the Concert Version of the Armstrong / Ella orchestration “Porgy & Bess”. The recreation of Russel Garcia's entire score has been achieved by Derry born, award-winning jazz trumpeter and arranger Ryan Quigley. The world premiere of this concert will be performed by RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the 11th of September in The National Concert Hall in Dublin. The Ella & Louis parts will be delivered by Nicola Emmanuelle (‘the real deal' – Time Out) and five-time British Jazz Awards winner Enrico Tomasso – who as a child actually knew Louis Armstrong. The night is packed with more Gershwin greats: Rhapsody in Blue, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist Adam Johnson, The Man I Love, Embraceable You, Fascinating Rhythmand Nelson Riddle's arrangement of I Got Rhythm.

Boradcast over the Armed Forces Radio Service... this program was a staple of the shows that our troops overseas heard during WW II. The studios, hosts, actors, singers...technicians... everyone contributed their time and talents to these programs to help raise the morale of our soldiers. This show's announcer is Don Wilson. Emcee is Bob Hope. Comedian Jerry Colonna does a skit with Bob. June Allison and Gloria DeHaven sing "Love Like Ours" . Organist Ethel Smith plays "Tico Tico" - Frances Langford sings "Embraceable You." The show was done in front of a live audience, generally in Hollywood. Most of the live audience was made up of members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.

Mission encre noire Tome 22 Chapitre 270. Je vous présente mes meilleurs voeux pour l'année 2018. Janvier débute avec ce qui va sans doute devenir un classique du polar: L'année du Lion de Deon Meyer paru en 2017 aux éditions du Seuil. Écrit en afrikaans et en anglais, le roman, traduit par Catherine Du Toit et Marie-Caroline Aubert se situe en Afrique du sud entre le désert du Karoo et le fleuve Orange. Nicolas (le narrateur) fait le récit de l'assassinat de son père, Willem Storm. Ils comptent parmi les rares survivant d'une fièvre qui a décimé 95 % de la population mondiale. La catastrophe a provoqué de nombreuses réaction en chaîne. Chez les humains, c'est la loi de la jungle. Pourtant Willem Storm est convaincu de pouvoir bâtir un monde meilleur avec les rescapés de ce cataclysme. Malgré que la prose soit aussi rêche et aride que la majesté du paysage, l'espoir demeure. La vision de Deon Meyer n'est pas désespérée, les communautés cherchent à se reconstruire. Il y beaucoup d'humanité dans cet ambitieux projet, qui se traduit par un esprit de résistance et de solidarité. L'année du Lion est un classique en devenir, qui a l'image du continent africain, (et de l'Afrique du sud en particulier) rugit de rage et de fureur. C'est un livre qu'on ne peut pas lâcher aussi facilement. Il finira bien par trouver le chemin de votre bibliothèque, à côté de La route de Cormac McCarthy, mais pas pour les mêmes raisons. Extrait: « Je revois ces événements avec du recul. L'importance et la signification de cette scène ne me frapperont que des années plus tard. Ce jour-là, je me rendais déjà compte que c'était un moment historique, autant qu'un gosse de treize ans, affamé de compagnie, de camarades de son âge, pouvait le ressentir. Je ne réaliserais que plus tard le véritable poids du moment et des personnes impliquées. Le car de luxe est déjà garé au milieu de la rue quand j'arrive. Deux hommes descendent et avancent vers Père et Hennie As, Domingo, Mélinda Swanevelder, Béryl et les seize enfants qui les attendent dans Proteastraat. Le premier homme est âgé, il a les cheveux blancs et porte une toge blanche avec une sorte de châle doré et un chapeau bizarre. Dans sa main droite il tient une houlette en bois argenté. De la gauche, il s'appuie sur le bras d'un homme plus jeune, très impressionnant, plus grand que tous les autres et large de poitrine. Voilà ce que j'observe, ce que j'essaie de marquer dans ma mémoire pour pouvoir le raconter un jour, pour pouvoir dire que j'étais présent, que j'ai participé à cet événement. » New Moon, Café de nuit joyeux de David Dufresne paru en 2017 aux éditions du Seuil. Paris la nuit c'est fini/Paris va crever d'ennui/Paris se meurt rendez lui/Arletty. Et si Pigalle nous était conté ? C'est le pari réussi de David Dufresne. L'auteur se retourne sur son passé, il arrive dans le quartier le plus chaud de Paris en 1988, il a 20 ans. Le New Moon est le plus grand des petits clubs rock parisiens. On y croise régulièrement la crème de la scène du rock alternatif, la Mano Negra en tête. 106 m2 de bonheur et d'énergie pure qui dissimule une histoire riche et palpitante à l'image du quartier. Ouvert en 1896 sous le nom de La feuille de vigne, l'endroit changera plusieurs fois de nom et de style. David Dufresne nous offre un livre déroutant au croisement du polar, du docu/fiction et du récit historique. Excellement bien documenté, vous ne perdrez rien de l'enquête autour du lieu mythique. Vous y croiserez Manu Chao en terrasse du New Moon, Virginie Despente, son premier manuscrit sous le bras, Cole Porter, Degas, Manet...et si une nouvelle forme de journalisme était né ? Depuis 2004, le New Moon a rendu les armes à l'embourgeoisement, une épicerie bio patronne désormais sur la rue Pigalle.  Extrait: « Le Bricktop's fut le premier des cabarets de Pigalle à servir le whisky à table - jusqu'ici, on ne le faisait qu'au bar, il fallait se déplacer pour cette vulgaire boisson. La maîtresse des lieux y perdait le chic du champagne exclusif, mais elle y gagnait les écrivains. Et ils allaient se précipiter. La première fois que John Steinbeck était venu,ça avait mal commencé. Il avait dû envoyer un taxi de roses à Brick pour s'excuser de son comportement (Il ajoutera plus tard à ses fleurs ces mots: « Brick, chaque fois que tu chantes «Embraceable You», tu m'enlèves vingt ans de ma vie d'homme »). Hemingway, aussi, traînait dans les parages ; comme F. Scott Fitzgerald qui met en scène un de ses héros de Retour à Babylone devant le Bricktop's, où «il avait passé tant de temps et dépensé tant d'argent».» Le retour du Gang d'Edward Abbey paru en 2017 aux éditions Gallmeister dans la collection Nature Writing. Le Gang de la clé à molette est un livre culte. Un best seller des éditions Gallmeister paru en 2013 et illustré par Crumb. Edward Abbey, décédé en 1989, a été inhumé dans le désert, un lieu encore tenu secret aujourd'hui. Le retour du Gang est la touche finale d'une oeuvre riche, qui relève le défi de présenter le combat écologiste de l'auteur. Le gang de la clé à molette est composé de quatre personnages: de Bonnie Abbzug compagne du Doc Sarvis, médecin dans la vie, de Seldom Smith, un membre de l'église mormone et George Hayduke, vétéran du Vietnam, passionné d'armes à feu, vivant en renégat dans une grotte dans le désert avec pour seul compagnon, un féroce crotale. C'est lui qui se charge de remobiliser la troupe contre l'invasion de l'excavateur géant: Goliath. Pour sauver les déserts de l'ouest américain tous les moyens sont bons. L'auteur publie ici, un manifeste de résistance, drôle et cynique. Edward Abbey se place déjà comme une influence majeure et son style plutôt explosif est à découvrir. Extrait: « Silence. Hayducke crache par terre. Il lève les yeux et les plante dans ceux de Seldom, l'air incapable de comprendre ou de croire ou même d'entendre clairement ce que son vieux pote lui dit. Tout ce que Seldom voit du regard d'hayducke sont ces deux petits points rouges, comme les diodes de mise sous tension d'une mystérieuse machine nocturne. Comme deux tisons luisant dans un feu qui se meurt. Comme...comme les faibles feux arrières d'un train fou qui s'en va, au loin, pour ne jamais revenir. Un simple souffle de réalité peut éteindre, pour toujours, d'un moment à l'autre, ces deux rubis d'espoir. » Naissance d'une jungle de Nancy Huston paru en 2017 aux éditions de l'Aube collection Le Un en livre. Le Un est un journal d'enquête et d'idées, indépendant, sans publicité qui rassemble sous la direction de l'écrivain Éric Fottorino, chaque semaine des écrivains, artistes, journaliste et des chercheurs, pour éclairer sur un thème en particulier lié à l'actualité. Vous connaissez sans doute déjà la plume parfois acérée de l'écrivaine. Ses prises de positions, au risque de déplaire, permettent le plus souvent d'insuffler une nouvelle dynamique dans les débats. Nancy Huston tire le signal d'alarme sur les dérives de la pensée dominante, primitive, qui a pris le pouvoir un peu partout et particulièrement aux USA. On appelle cela le règne de la jungle. Au fil de la lecture des cinq textes disponibles dans cet ouvrage, l'autrice interroge notre capacité à nous décentrer, pour si possible déplacer notre point de vue sur le monde. Extrait: « Aujourd'hui, leur prolixité m'épuise. Tant d'arrogance, tant d'agressivité! Comment font-ils pour ne pas entendre leur propre morgue? Regardez ceux qui, derrière les guichets des maries, postes et administrations, accueillent les citoyens: c'était bien la peine de faire la Révolution pour se voir encore traité ainsi de haut! Véritablement elle est guindée cette langue française, et induit des attitudes guindées. »

E flat major. Then the second chord: G flat fully diminished. So we've got the root, minor third, minor fifth, diminished seventh. but I've always thought that was kind of a basic sound. So, the easiest alteration you can make is: shift that diminished seventh up to a major seventh. Okay so we know we still got that diminished triad but with the major seventh, which kind of leads nicely to where we're going. And so this to me it always kind of implied that D7#9 kind of a sound. Right? But the root's going up to G flat. And in terms of like implementing this in some two-handed voicing, we've got E flat major and what about this? What do we have here? We've got the G flat - the root, the diminished fifth, we've still got the diminished seventh and up here we have the major seventh. This is the minor third and like this, I really think about, this is that D mino triad and if we put the D down - the root,Then we go half hold diminished. Thinking about it off of the D. Okay? You can kind of move this around chromatically. Have some fun with it there. And it leads real nice to where we're going in F minor. Okay? So we don't need to be scared of the fullydiminished. I know sometimes it feels like we're locked in and it's so basic. But you know there's some nice symmetry here too and I always love these voicings where you've got the tritone separating the hands. I don't know why. It's always been like a cool thing to me there.Works off of either root. And when you take, you know, when you have this voicing in your arsenal, a nice thing too is you can go basic. Root position first and then kind of jump up here and combine it. It'll give it a little bit of a modern sound. Alright?So don't be afraid of the diminished, and have fun with the diminished.Happy Practicing.====================================================For more full length lessons with Peter Martin, head over to Open Studio! www.openstudionetwork.com/piano See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the news: football prayer and religion in the military. We hear a tribute to George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue, Bernstein; "I Got Rhythm," Mary Martin; "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," Billie Holiday; "Someone To Watch Over Me," Nancy Wilson; "It Ain't Necessarily So" Sammy Davis Jr; "Embraceable You," Kiri Te Kanawa; American in Paris; "Summertime" Ella Fitzgerald). Then we talk with Sam Erickson, president of AHA!--the Atheists, Humanists and Agnostics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison--the strongest campus freethought group in the country.

An upright piano may not seem like the desired tool of a keyboard purist but Jenny Lin needed little rationalization for playing Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite on the upright in the WQXR Café. Stravinsky himself was said to compose not at a concert grand, but "at a tacky-sounding and usually out-of-tune upright piano that has been muted and dampened with felt,” according to a onetime description by his wife, Vera Stravinsky. What’s more, Stravinsky’s teacher, Rimsky-Korsakov, advocated using uprights in orchestra works, arguing for their tinny, delicate sounds over thick, chordal opulence. The instrument may have also underscored the Russian folk sounds that characterize many of Stravinsky's early works. The Taiwan-born, New York-based Lin also plays Stravinsky on the big grands, something she has been doing a lot lately. Her newest album is a collection of a dozen of the composer's solo piano works, and while many of them aren’t so well known – perhaps lacking the surging passions or flamboyant calisthenics employed by other Russian composers – she believes they have much to admire and enjoy. "We really should know more about Stravinsky as a piano music composer because he composed a lot of the orchestra music on piano, and he was a very good pianist himself,” said Lin. Along with original solo piano pieces like the Sonata and the Serenade, there are some finger-twisting arrangements, notably Guido Agosti’s transcription of the Firebird Suite. Here Lin plays work’s the Danse infernale: Lin discovered Agosti’s Firebird transcription while studying in Italy as a teenager and that got her hooked on Stravinsky's work. “He's clever as a composer,” she noted. “He knows what gets an audience and can trigger the adrenaline.” While Lin’s concert repertoire includes the hefty concertos of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff, her discography tells of a more eclectic sensibility, spanning "InsomniMania," a collection of pieces inspired by nighttime dreams and anxieties, and "The Eleventh Finger,” devoted to complex modernists like Gyorgy Ligeti, Elliott Sharp and others. In the WQXR Café she also performed a selection from "Get Happy: Virtuoso Show Tunes for Piano.” The 2012 album featured arrangements of Broadway songs by such noted pianist-composers as André Previn, Stephen Hough, Marc-André Hamelin and Alexis Weissenberg. “One should not take these pieces very lightly,” said Lin. “I have to say, I thought that doing the Broadway arrangement project would easy because of the tunes but it was the hardest thing I’ve had to do, because every pianist just took the tune and went off with it.” Below is Lin’s performance of Gershwin’s Embraceable You, in an arrangement by the late Earl Wild: Video: Amy Pearl; Sound: Edward Haber; Text & Production: Brian Wise; Interview: Jeff Spurgeon

Sue Lawley's castaway is dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. Linton Kwesi Johnson was born in 1950s rural Jamaica. He lived in a farming community and looked after the animals, helping with the sugar harvest and fetching firewood. He lived with his grandmother after his parents separated, loving being the man of the house. She would entertain the young Linton, who she called "me husband", with folk songs, stories and ghost stories. In 1963, when he was eleven years old, Linton came to live in England. It was a huge contrast: "I had this childhood idea that literally the streets of London would be paved with gold and everybody living affluent lifestyles. So it was a bit of an eye-opener for me when I came and saw all these grey buildings with chimneys and smoke coming out of them and to see a white person sweeping the street!" He experienced racism at school, from peers and teachers alike, and became interested in the black movement. He joined the British Black Panthers in his teens, discovered black literature and began to write poetry of his own. He gained a sociology degree in the mid-1970s and had poems, inspired by politics and the Black movement, published in the journal Race Today. He soon became known for his poetry written in dialect and would often use reggae music to accompany it. He still tours with his band and can command stadium-size stages. Linton Kwesi Johnson became one of only two living poets to be published in a Penguin Modern Classic in 2002. He says "I've made a small contribution to bring poetry back to the people."During the interview, Linton Kwesi reads extracts from the following poems: 'Sonny's Lettah' taken from Inglan is a Bitch, 'Five Nights of Bleeding (for Leroy Harris)' from Things an Times and 'New Craas Massahkah (to the memory of the fourteen dead)'.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Embraceable You by Charlie Parker Book: 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Luxury: A bass guitar
