Jazz in the Garden, Episode One: “In the Beginning” Our story begins on June 16, 1960, when George Wein and the Storyville Sextet played the first jazz concert in MoMA's Sculpture Garden—and launched more than a decade of legendary performances and recordings from some of the leading lights of jazz, including Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, and Sonny Rollins. In this episode, you'll hear about the first era of jazz at MoMA from some of the musicians who were there.

SHE'S A LATIN FROM MANHATTAN by Al Jolson,  ( From the film: “Go into Your Dance”, 1935)This song operates on a couple of levels: there is the theme of authenticity - someone pretending to be something they're not, and then there is the encoded message of theatrical professionalism - a portrait of a denizen of Broadway, that golden place where exotic dreams become real, a meritocracy wherein an excellent performer can circumvent a dubious background and a lack of privilege.Hearing this tune as a small child I intuited these fancies, and, like Pinocchio, they lured me into a life of Papier-Mache. But, hey, I'm not quibbling - I made it to The Great White Way - TWICE!  I was always happier pretending to be someone other than myself, and Jolson was the Hebraic pathfinder. The mask of “blackface” allowed Asa Yolson to hitch his Star of David to the soulful vehicle of another victim of oppression, the African-American, and ride it out of the slums, and straight towards the brass ring. This song communicates joy at every level: Jolie's buoyant vocal as he uncovers Dolores's masquerade, the bouncy patter of Al Dubin's lyric, and Harry Warren's infectious latin rhythms all aim to elicit a smile as you contemplate that “42 Streeter,” Susie Donahue's magic trick of erotic transformation. 

Sammy Cahn's fifth consecutive Oscar nomination for songwriting came for his second gig writing for opera star Mario Lanza. Cahn will have tough competition for the Academy Award for Original Song, as the new writing duo of Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin came up with a new twist on the title song and Oscar winners Harry Warren and Leo Robin came up with a catchy tune for Bing Crosby and Joan Wyman. Find out who wins the award for 1952 on this episode of The Best Song Podcast!

The Gershwin brothers -- George and Ira -- were mentioned in one of the songs nominated for the Academy Award in 1942, but the brothers themselves did not earn a nomination. Respected songwriters such as Irving Berlin, Harry Warren, and Jerome Kern were on the docket, and a new talent named Sammy Cahn earned his first invitation to the Academy Awards ceremony.

Comenzamos con el conjunto Chappotin y su trilogía vocal del año 1952: Miguelito Cuní, Carlos y Cepero, como parte de la banda sonora del sello Panart, primer esfuerzo discográfico nacional fundado en 1944. El montuno guaguancó: "Nosotros los Amalianos", original de Eloy Oliva y Raúl Cruz, pertenece a su histórico legado sonoro. Hace 79 años, en un estudio con piso en construcción, apenas insonorizado con paneles de bagazo de caña, forrados con tela de yute, comenzó a forjarse la industria discográfica cubana. Un importante aniversario que no debería continuar siendo pasado por alto. El cantante camagüeyano Orlando Guerra "Cascarita" con la orquesta del trompetista Julio Cueva, encabezaba el catálogo. Gracias a la pianista, arreglista y repertorista Isolina Carrillo, una juvenil Olga Guillot, integrante por esa época del cuarteto vocal "Siboney" dirigido por la compositora, debutó en Panart como solista. "At last", es un clásico del norteamericano Harry Warren (versionado al español por el compositor Antonio Mata). Le acompañó la orquesta Cosmopolita, rebautizada como "Swing Makers". El acompañamiento predilecto de los cancioneros eran los jazz bands. Dinorah Nápoles y Carlos Alas del Casino con la orquesta "Hermanos Castro", y Delia Bravo con la orquesta de Armando Romeu, cierran este primer segmento. Cuando el ingeniero de sonido Ramón Sabat fundó su etiqueta, todo lo atractivo y apetecible que acontecía en el panorama musical cubano lo registraban poderosos emporios norteamericanos como RCA Victor, Columbia, Brunswick, entre otros. Muy pronto orquestas típicas establecidas como las de Neno González y la "Ideal" del flautista Joseíto Valdés, en tiempo de danzón de nuevo ritmo, o cantantes de tango como Manolo Fernández, Olga Chorens y Tony Álvarez fueron atracciones Panart. El veterano conjunto "Sonora Matancera" con sus cantantes de planta: Bienvenido Granda, Caito y Rogelio Martínez, fue de los primeros en pertenecer al staff artístico de Sabat. De nuevo en este breve recuento destaca Isolina Carrillo. Su bolero "Dos gardenias" alcanzó muchísimo éxito en 1947 como lo parte del repertorio escogido para estrenar una nueva combinación Panart: Daniel Santos y la Sonora Matancera. Luego de una importante experiencia en la disquera Musicraft neoyorquina, aún latente la segunda guerra mundial, Ramón Sabat ubicó en la calle San Miguel no.410 el equipamiento técnico mínimo e indispensable para comenzar a grabar y prensar sus producciones. Las voces prima, segunda y tercera de Roberto Faz, Roberto Espi y Agustín Ribot, completaron una las trilogías más exitosas del Conjunto Casino. El paso de Sabat por una ciudad multicultural como Nueva York tuvo mucho que ver en la afortunada decisión de darle un espacio notable a la categoría afrocubana en su catálogo. Tata Gutiérrez, veterano cantante y rumbero, en clave abakuá, antecede a Celia Cruz y Merceditas Valdés. Sin lugar a dudas, junto a Caridad Suárez, las voces femeninas más destacadas del género afro por aquellos años. Con Panart echó a andar una maquinaria de difusión que resultó ser exponencialmente exitosa. Hacia 1953 un grupo de grabaciones irían perfilando otra categoría necesaria: la del jazz cubano. Apenas 17 años había recorrido Panart, acumulando un importante catálogo sonoro, cuando el 30 de mayo de 1961, fue intervenida bajo una supuesta "nacionalización". Su desaparición, junto al resto de disqueras independientes, fue un duro golpe al entramado de difusión y edición de música popular que funcionaba maravillosamente, situando a Cuba como un importante referente de producción musical. Ramón Sabat murió en los Estados Unidos el 15 de marzo de 1986 completamente olvidado. En Cuba, salvo honrosas excepciones, sistemáticamente se continúa silenciando la fundación de Panart, dándole prioridad a otros aniversarios vinculados a la estatalizada industria del disco.

“Over the Rainbow”, “Get Happy”, “Come Rain or Come Shine”. These are the songs you have been singing your whole life, and now is your chance to learn about who wrote them! In this week's episode, travel somewhere over the rainbow into the singular mind of renowned composer Harold Arlen, a key contributor to the American Songbook whose hundreds of pop tunes became runaway hits during the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s. Arlen collaborated with the greatest of the Tin Pan Alley lyricists, including E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, Johnny Mercer, Ted Koehler, Ira Gershwin, Dorothy Fields, and Truman Capote. While any number of Arlen's compositions assured his prominent place in musical history, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) deemed “Over the Rainbow” to be the 20th century's greatest song.

“I Got Rhythm”, “Summertime”, “The Man I Love”. These are the songs you have been singing your whole life, and now is your chance to learn about who wrote them! In this week's episode, the men you love are at the forefront: George and Ira Gershwin, brothers who sometimes seemed to write their hits with four hands and one brain. George's gift for melody and Ira's ability to seamlessly blend lyrical sophistication with the American vernacular made for a plethora of immortal songs that both reflected and shaped the dynamic forces of American modernism during the Jazz Age. Hear directly from Michael Feinstein, Norm Lewis, and more, as they guide you through the astounding lives of these two geniuses, cut from the same cloth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“You're the Top”, “I've Got You Under My Skin”, “Love for Sale”. These are the songs you have been singing your whole life, and now is your chance to learn about who wrote them! In this week's episode, you'll fall freely in love with Cole Porter, the master of melody and lyrics who changed the soundscape and language of American music - and America itself. Writing songs for over 30 stage and film musicals, his best work set standards of sophistication and wit seldom matched in the popular musical theater. And, as explained by pioneering songwriter Justin Tranter, Porter blazed the trail for generations of queer writers to come, pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo of the American musical form. Featuring key interviews from acclaimed writer Adam Gopnik and musical icon Elvis Costello, this episode illuminates the magic of Cole Porter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Wouldn't It Be Loverly”, “Get Me to the Church on Time”, “If Ever I Would Leave You”. These are the songs you have been singing your whole life, and now is your chance to learn about who wrote them! This week's episode is guaranteed to be “loverly”, as we dive headfirst into the life and times of Alan Jay Lerner & Frederick Loewe, one of the greatest songwriting teams in history responsible for the most stylish, sophisticated theater music of the 20th century. The Lerner-Loewe formula was to combine Loewe's lush, melodic music, redolent of Viennese waltz, with Lerner's witty, literate lyrics; this they did in some of the most popular and best-remembered musicals of the mid-20th Century, including My Fair Lady, Brigadoon, and Camelot. As told by scholars such as Laurence Maslon as well as Liza Lerner, Alan Lerner's daughter, the origin story of Lerner & Loewe illuminates how their disparate paths converged to form a dynamic duo that would define the future of American musical theater.

In this week's episode, feast your ears on a wealth of knowledge as we pull back the curtain on Yip Harburg, “Broadway's social conscience” who was unique among his peers for always integrating his worldviews into his shows and songs. From articulating the struggles of the Great Depression to daring listeners to dream, Yip Harburg seamlessly weaved politics and prose together, and in doing so, crafted a musical fabric now embedded into the zeitgeist of American musical culture. Immerse yourself in the story of Harburg and his lasting legacy, as told by cultural icon Rufus Wainwright, Yip Harburg's son Ernie, and more!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Featuring stories recounted by Paul Scahill and Margaret Whiting, descendants of long-time Mercer collaborators Sadie Vimmerstedt and Robert Whiting respectively, this episode offers a lens through which to see the man whose words defined American popular culture of the mid-20th Century.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Featuring exclusive interviews with Billy Corgan, Michael Feinstein, and Warren's granddaughter, Julia Riva, this episode will shine a new light on both Harry Warren's illustrious body of work and the personal history that shaped it.

Italians have been a force in jazz almost since the music was born, and this week's guest is no exception! Vanessa Racci has dedicated her career to being an ambassador not only for her Italian heritage but also for the heritage of jazz music. Vanessa grew up in Westchester County, New York amid an Italian American family that steeped her in Italian song, theater music, and jazz, which allowed her to develop a vocal style drawn from all three, combining a tart, brassy, catch-in-the-throat sound with Italianate ardor, dramatic flair, and swing. This week, Vanessa joins us to celebrate the release of her latest album, “Jazzy Italian,” which launches on October 21. Vanessa tells us about how Italian Americans have always been connected to jazz music, from the Sicilian community of New Orleans who lived and worked alongside African Americans, to its influences throughout the pantheon of great Italian American singers. Vanessa also tells us about her plans to do three more albums, following the example of Harry Warren, John Pizzarelli, and Henry Mancini, all of whom were Italian Americans who made their mark on the music industry. And Vanessa talks about her upcoming album launch party on Sunday, October 23, at Birdland Jazz Club, and how it's not just a celebration of her music, but of all Italian American music in general. Join us as we discover the world of Italian American jazz music!
