My long-time friend, Peter Scott Ruben, is the best guitar player I know, having personally watched him jam with some of the great rock and blues musicians of the seventies (Joe Perry in his pre-Aerosmith days and Kim Simmonds of The Savoy Brown Blues Band are two who immediately come to mind -- I read that Simmonds died two years ago in England and the band had to break up after an amazing fifty-five year run). Since then, Peter has fronted his own bands, and has also carried on his father's legacy as leader of the premier special events orchestra/band in Philadelphia, through which he met "the great one," Frank Sinatra, at a White House gig the orchestra was playing during the Reagan administration back in the 1980's. He also donned a wig a few years ago and played as Eric Clapton in a Cream tribute concert (and I seem to recall he even played a set as Jimmi Hendrix). In addition to his amazing playing, he knows way more about music than anyone in my social orbit so, now that he has embarked on an Act 3 career performing a Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin one-man tribute show (having bought performing rights to the original Nelson Riddle and other Sinatra/Darin charts), I thought it would be fun to pick his brain here on Pizza Quest regarding why he thinks Sinatra is the greatest performer of all time as well as to see if together we could create a top ten list as well as a Mt. Rushmore top four list of the greatest of the greats. It was so much fun recording this episode -- as you will see and hear -- that I plan on inviting him back to do a similar retrospective on the greatest guitar players and also another on the best bands and performing groups of our time.  Peter and I used to stay up all night during our college days talking about stuff like this, so I know he's game for it, as you will hear in this conversation in which we explore not only Sinatra's greatness but also dive deeply into the why and how of what made him the GOAT (and why Bobby Darin was the prince in waiting until he died way too young). So, as we like to say, it's more about the quest than it is about the pizza, and this time around we jump into Peter Ruben's quest for what distinguishes the good from the great when it comes to musical artists. The topic may have changed, but the game remains the same -- and the quest never ends....

You may know William Atherton from Day Of The Locust, The Hindenburg, Looking For Mr. Goodbar, and Real Genius or you may better remember him for vigorously questioning the environmental safety of ghost busting or for receiving a blow to the face which rings in a very Merry Christmas in Die Hard.  Bill began his career on the stage, performing in Broadway plays by David Rabe, John Guare and Arthur Miller.

Scott, Donald Sutherland, Karen Black, and Diane Keaton. Did you know that Bill sings What'll I Do in Nelson Riddle's Great Gatsby score!? He tells us all about it and talks about recognizing the greatness of Stephen Spielberg even as a baby director when Bill stared in Sugarland Express. He remembers how Anne Bancroft would not stop talking about Mel Brooks on the set of The Hindenburg, he shares what he learned from the casts of Lost and Desperate Housewives and he addresses the internet's most time-honored question, is Die Hard a Christmas movie?Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Will & Harper and Nobody Wants This on Netflix.Path Points of Interest:William AthertonWilliam Atherton on WikiWilliam Atherton on IMDBGift of DemocracyMedia Path PodcastNobody Wants This on NetflixWill and Harper - Netflix

Albums and All That, Starting with the letter S as in Sierra, Part 9 From Something to Shout About (Lulu) to Sophisticated Boom Boom (Dead or Alive) Oh hey, by the way... there is now a Vinyl-O-Matic Patreon (https://patreon.com/youroldpalwill) Lulu with The Luvvers [00:30] "Chocolate Ice" Something to Shout About Decca LK 4719 1965 Hey hey hey! It's Lulu! This is her debut album. Despite what you might guess from her voice, she was 17 when she recorded this album. "Chocolate Ice" is the excellent title song to the very weird Gonks Go Beat (https://youtu.be/XhozBIMplQA?si=ULHH1FdCqSWJPyJ5) (Hartford-Davis, 1964), featuring Lulu and The Luvvers, The Nashville Teens, and the Graham Bond Organisation Todd Rundgren [02:40] "Hello It's Me" Something / Anything? Bearsville 2BX 2066 1972 Rundgren's 3rd solo album, spreading his musical wings a bit more than previous releases. Todd had originally written the song as a very mellow ballad with the Nazz in 1967, and was released as a b-side (https://youtu.be/FmLnDL_pNZQ?si=enMwjWzgNe_iplus) to their psyche rocker "Open My Eyes". Usually I'd go with the power pop progenitor "Couldn't I Just Tell You (https://youtu.be/fosMLTCFKQ8?si=Dgn25DMa61xCFRbJ)", but well, I'm feeling more mid-tempo at the moment. Jimmy Buffett [07:29] "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" Son of a Son of a Sailor ABC Records AA-1046 1976 Let me be perfectly clear: I am not now, nor have I ever been a Parrot Head. However, I do love cheeseburgers. This is the lead single from Buffett's eighth solo album. The single made it to #32 on the Hot 100. There's also a much-watered-down version of "Livingston Saturday Night", which can be heard to greater effect (https://youtu.be/5uizFyDRxso?si=ZfVrun8krTdxzagG) on the Rancho Deluxe (Perry, 1975) soundtrack, see also: Season 5, Episode 76 (https://vinylomatic.com/s05e76). Harry Nilsson [10:20] "It Is He Who Will Be King/Daybreak" Son of Dracula Rapple Records ABL1-0220 1974 The only new Nilsson song on this soundtrack. The less said about the actual film. Count Downe (Nilsson) is invited to take over Count Dracula's throne by Merlin (Ringo Starr). Lots of monsters and lots of rock stars, including Keith Moon and John Bonham, Peter Frampton, Bobby Keys, Klaus Voorman, and Leon Russell. Watch at your own peril (https://youtu.be/IIik_o16sro?si=WvmR54QPJ16Qmd6s). Great packaging for the record though, includine a die-cut gatefold and an iron on transfer for the cover image with "Bite Me" written in goth script below. Julian Bahula's Jazz Africa [16:15] "Molebatsi" Son of the Soil Tsafrika Records TSA 001 1982 A great collective outing composed by this South African by way of Britain drummer/composer/bandleader. I picked this one up at Revolution Records in Amsterdam. If Google Translate isn't lying to me, this title translates to "Smoker" from Swati. And a smoker it is. The Temptations [21:46] "Shakey Ground" A Song for You Gordy G6-969S1 1975 One of several excellent P-Funk-backed tracks on this album. There's a pretty excellent Delbert McClinton version of this song as well (https://youtu.be/w7JCWoxtGLs?si=tLtnwaOT1j24Tgvy). The Exbats [25:47] "Like It Like I Do" Song Machine Goner Records GONE 192 2023 And boy do I like it! Another excellent outing from Bisbee AZ denizens Inez and Kenny and friends (https://youtu.be/l-Onx5zVfMs?si=OSeD0DJHPaOZ4NGW). They pretty much just keep getting awesomer and awesomer. Big Black [28:17] "L Dopa" Songs About Fucking Touch and Go T&G LP #24 1987 Scorching. And sadly, fare thee well, Steve. To anyone interested in recording, Steve and Electric Audio provided (and still provide) a wealth of information, as for instance: Everything you've ever wanted to know about tape alignment but were afraid to ask (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXA7imybaTsFWOFpaeP8wgXNDlZ4Xc8yq&si=ZMsU_ifbEBbmp6Kh).

A classic lost love ballad.  From the 1955 album In the Wee Small Hours, Sinatra sings Alec Wilder's I'll Be Around.  Arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle.

Heino [00:23] "Heute Singen Wir Mit Heino/Wißt Ihr Was? Heute Hat's Geschneit" Sing Mit Heino Folge 9 und 10 Winterzeit - Kinderzeit - Weihnachtzeit Hör Zu 1 C 066-45 322 1979 Sing along with Heino! And evidently, the old Deustschekrooner is still alive. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the German phenomenon that is Heino, of course, there's a documentary (https://youtu.be/M-39Unh0X2E?si=WlId8Vtympf3n2ob). The Four Roses Society [03:03] "Hand Me Down My Walkin' Cane/Deep in the Heart of Texas" Sing with the Four Roses Society Four Roses K8OP-6582 / 3 Well all right then. During my brief career as a liquor store clerk (one summer during college), Four Roses bourbon was not the esteemed brand it is today. It was easily found on the bottom shelf of the whiskey section. Kitty Wells [05:49] "Country Girl" Singing'em Country Decca DL 75221 1970 One of the contenders to the title of Queen of Country Music reminiscing at the ripe old age of 51. Elvis Presley [08:24] "Santa Bring My Baby Back (to Me)" Sings Christmas Songs - Elvis' Christmas Album RCA Victor LPM-1951 1957 (1964 reissue) An extremely well-worn seasonal classic. I'm surprised it sounds as good as it does, considering the state of the record surface. Odetta [12:45] "Don't Think Twice, It's Allright" Odetta Sings Dylan RCA Victor LSP-3324 An excellent rendition of this transitional Dylan single. To my mind, it is almost as good as the jangling toe-tapper version by Waylon Jennings (https://youtu.be/2GTl6-BJhvc?si=Ofi9FdbmGvJyqCKr). Bob McGrath with the Jimmy Joyce Singers [18:30] "Black and White" Sings for All the Boys and Girls Disneyland 1357 1974 Indeed, that Bob from Sesame Street. Helped out here by some of the Wrecking Crew including Tommy Tedesco and Earl Palmer. Inspired by the Three Dog Night version of this song (https://youtu.be/PEy6968xO-I?si=hNq9IL8tnQ9RCPDd), the song was originally recorded by Pete Seger in 1956 and with lyrics by David I. Arkin, father of Alan Arkin no less. Nat King Cole [22:21] "Autumn Leaves" Sings for Two in Love Capitol Records DT 420 1963 (original release 1953) This monophonic classic album is reinvigorated in beautiful Duophonic sound! Bonnie Prince Billy [25:03] "Ohio River Boat Song" Sings Greatest Palace Music Drag City DC252 / Palace Records PR31 A collection of Nashville-ified reimaginings Will Oldham's earlier work, with a number of Nashville greats, including Hargus "Pig" Robbins. The thing I love about seeing Will Oldham perform live in whatever configuration is that he seemingly never plays a song the same way twice. This pass at the debut single from Palace Music (https://youtu.be/jYVTkUTHENg?si=Iz69YWTah4Kmc4uO) exemplifies that spirit. Wayne Newton [30:00] "More (Theme from 'Mondo Cane')" Sings Hit Songs Capitol Records T 2130 1964 Despite rumblings in Memphis and New Orleans and even Liverpool by this point, the big band sound of the Greatest Generation continues to thrive in popular music. John McCormack [32:37] "The Foggy Dew" Sings Irish Songs Pickwick CAS-407 1975 Evidently, stereo, in this case, means slapping some reverb on the left channel. Despite being partially the result of Irish immigration, I am not sentimental, which is why I chose the shortest track for this collection. Lotte Lehman [34:41] "Ich Liebe Dich (Beethoven)" Sings Lieder, Vol. 1 Camden CAL-378 Pretty sure I grabbed this from the dollar bin because in my haste I thought it was Lotte Lenya. Colin Meloy [37:21] "Bandit Queen" Sings Live! Jealous Butcher Records JB-065 2008 From a solo tour Colin Meloy made in 2006, recorded at various venues, including this one that I happened to attend at the Great American Music Hall. This live album does do one of those things that drives me nuts, which is to put the stage banter for the upcoming song before the track break. Tom Jones [43:05] "In Dreams" Sings She's a Lady Parrot XPAS 71046 1971 Candy colored clown! (https://youtu.be/R7zukRlfzh8?si=110VDkQtE8m4jD52) Nat "King" Cole [46:30] "Blue Gardenia" Ballads of the Day Capitol Records DT 680 1960 (original release 1956) As performed in Fritz Lang's classic noir The Blue Gardenia (https://youtu.be/3bxSn2UMBMY?si=vKu34lBUOQstY3f4). Harry Belafonte [49:29] "A Fool For You" Sings the Blues RCA Victor LSP-1972 1958 A collection of blues standards, including this Ray Charles number. Ella Fitzgerald [53:09] "'S Wonderful" Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book (Volume Two) Verve Records MG V-4025 1959 Helped out here by Nelson Riddle. An excellent cover painting by Bernard Buffet is featured on this album. Music behind the DJ: "Games People Play (https://youtu.be/hIBlCac8_wk?si=KjX6MUoC_zQ0qftn)" by Arthur Greenslade and his Orchesta

Talk about your comeback albums. This release became the Chairman of the Board's most commercially successful album. My dad's favorite voice was finding it hard to sell records during the early days of rock and roll. And he wasn't finding the top of charts as often. He once again teamed up with the Nelson Riddle orchestra and this time struck Grammy gold. So get ready to hear The Voice most heard around our house when I was growing up in Volume 171: Sinatra is No Stranger.

From the swinging “I've Got You Under My Skin” and ebullient “Come Fly With Me” to the breathtaking “Moonlight in Vermont” and torch song “Only The Lonely,” the set also includes previously unreleased tracks culled from the Capitol vaults along with alternate takes, a test track, radio spots and session takes that reveal Sinatra's in-studio artistry.Platinum was curated by Charles Pignone, President of Frank Sinatra Enterprises.Throughout his seven-decade career, Frank Sinatra performed on over 1,400 recordings and was awarded 31 gold, nine platinum, three double platinum, and one triple platinum album by the Recording Industry Association of America.

®Da domenica 25 giugno a domenica 23 luglio 2023L'arte dell'arrangiamento nasce con lo sviluppo negli anni '20 e '30 di orchestre jazz che, a differenza dello stile originario di New Orleans,  nel loro repertorio prevedono vere e proprie parti per scritte in alternanza a quelle improvvisate. Campioni del genere furono Paul Whiteman, Don Redman, Fletcher Henderson, per arrivare poi a Duke Ellington e Count Basie.Questa tradizione fu tenuta viva durante l'era dello swing (Goodman, Miller, Dorsey...) e si sviluppò poi nel secondo Dopoguerra parallelamente alla nascita degli stili moderni, il be-bop e il cool jazz.In questa serie di Birdland Claudio Sessa ci introduce al moderno concetto dell'arrangiamento jazz, considerando dapprima l'influenza e il lascito di Count Basie e passando poi in rassegna le varie tendenza e le figure più rappresentative nei vari ambiti: Harry Paich, la “variabile impazzita” Stan Kenton, Jimmy Giuffré e altri tra i californiani; la raffinatezza un po' intellettuale di Gil Evans, George Russell, Gerry Mulligan; e ancora Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson e Quincy Jones tra gli sperimentatori o Claud Ogerman e Nelson Riddle specializzati nella collaborazione con i cantanti.Prima emissione dal 25 febbraio 2023

Welcome all to the podcast! In this episode, I continue my mini-series entitled "TV Goes To The Movies", a topic in which I intend to explore TV shows that migrated over to the big screen. As expected, my focus is musically what was or was not carried over from the television episodes of a particular series to its respective theatrical feature, such as the main TV theme.   This time I open Channel D to examine "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." - a popular spy series which aired on NBC from 1964-1968. Its musical template was initially set by legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith, while still early in his career, and subsequently experienced many unexpected tonal shifts. Afterwards I discuss the eight "Man From U.N.C.L.E." "movies", each built from 2-part TV episodes and primarily released theatrically internationally, and lastly wrap up with the 2015 feature film, directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer, with music composed by Daniel Pemberton.   Title playtime index: Intro - 00:00:00 THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

С този епизод на „Музикална история“ ще ви върна много назад, за да проследим пътя на най-популярната песен на Nat King Cole, наречена „Unforgettable“. През 1952 година роденият в Алабама Nat King Cole (Нат Кинг Кол) е на 33 години. Когато много преди това е привлечен от музиканта Johnny Mercer (Джони Мърсър) в едва прохождащата „Capitol Records“, никой не подозира, че ще стане златна кокошка за продуцентската компания и ще има важна роля за нейното утвърждаване на музикалния пазар. През 1952 година е издаден албумът „Unforgettable“, а преди него Нат вече има цели четири солови албума, два от които инструментални, където си проличава таланта му на пианист. Албумът от 1952 година събира записи от почти седем години. Много от тях са пускани като сингли между 1946 и 1952 година. Тук трябва да поясним, че по онова време дългосвирещите плочи с продължителност повече от петнайсет минути не са били много популярни. Първата такава плоча излиза през 1948 година. В началото на 50-те повечето дългосвирещи плочи са компилации от хитове, или от сингли, излизали предишните години. Такъв е и случаят с „Unforgettable“. В първата своя версия албумът включва осем песни. В следващите преиздания са добавяни и още към тях. Но безспорно най-успешната песен от албума е именно заглавната „Unforgettable“. „Unforgettable“ е популярен джаз стандарт, написан от Irving Gordon (Ървинг Гордън) още през 30-те години, като не се знае точно кога. Счита се, че Нат е първият, официално записал тази песен, като нейните авторски права са утвърдени на 23 май 1951 година. Дотогава Гордън е вече популярен автор. Други песни, които е написал до този момент и са станали известни, включват „What Will I Tell My Heart“ на Bing Crosby (Бинг Кросби), „Me, Myself And I“ на Billie Holiday (Били Холидей) и т.н. Когато Гордън предлага на „Capitol“ своята песен, нейното оригинално заглавие е „Undeniable“ (в превод: неоспорим; превъзходен). Но издателите изискват да се промени, ставайки „Unforgettable“ (в превод: незабравим). Текстът разказва за двама влюбени, признаващи чувствата си един на друг. Първата версия, изпълнена от Нат на „Unforgettable“ е записана на 17 август 1951 година, в студио „Capitol“ в Холивуд, Лос Анджелис, Калифорния, и е издадена през октомври същата година. Аранжиментът е на ръководителя на оркестъра Nelson Riddle (Нелсън Ридъл). Нат и Нелсън вече са работили заедно и по още песни, включително станалата хит през 1958 година - „Pretend“. „Unforgettable“ е включена като първа в новия албум на Нат. Нелсън работи с Нат и след това. Когато по-късно Frank Sinatra (Франк Синатра) се присъединява към „Capitol“, Ридъл работи и с него и прави някои от най-красивите аранжименти за негови песни, като например този на „All The Way“. Втората версия на „Unforgettable“ от Нат е от 1952 година и е неоркестрирана. Тя излиза в едно преиздание чак през 1998 година. Третата версия на Нат е от 1961 година за албума „The Nat King Cole Story“. Тя е с оркестъра на Ralph Carmichael (Ралф Кармайкъл) и с негов аранжимент. Има и четвърта версия на Нат, пусната като сингъл на 12 юли 1991 година. Любопитното там е, че за нея е взет оригиналният запис и върху него е насложен гласа на дъщерята на Нат - Natalie Cole (Натали Кол). Затова песента е наречена „виртуален дует“. Тя е аранжирана от Johnny Mandel (Джони Мандел) и продуцирана от David Foster (Дейвид Фостър). Тази версия достига до 19 място във Великобритания и до позиция номер 14 в основната класация на американското списание „Billboard“. Освен това взема три награди „Грами“ на тридесет и четвъртата церемония на музикалната академия - най-добър запис, най-добра песен и най-добро традиционно вокално поп изпълнение за годината. Най-после авторът Гордън получава признание от „Грами“, четиридесет години след първия запис и повече от петдесет след написването на песента. Версията от 1991 година получава и други признания по-късно. Тя е включена и в албума на Натали „Unforgettable: With Love“, който е в почит на нейния баща.
