Sie waren enge Freunde - Sergej Prokofjew und Vladimir Dukelskij, der später unter dem Pseudonym Vernon Duke in die Geschichte des amerikanischen Showbusiness einging. Beide haben Russland nach der Revolution 1917 verlassen, beide fühlten sich aber der Kompositionsschule ihres Heimatlandes verpflichtet. Doch während Duke sich als Autor populärer Broadwaymusicals in Amerika einen großen Namen machte, konnte sein Freund Prokofjew solche Erfolge in der Neuen Welt nicht vorweisen. 1936 kehrte er nach Russland zurück, Dukelskij blieb in Amerika. Wer hat gewonnen, wer verloren? Unser heutiges ZOOM geht dieser Frage nach.

Today, we have an interview with Boris Dralyuk. Dralyuk is a literary translator, poet, and the Editor-in-Chief of the Los Angeles Review of Books. He holds a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from UCLA, where he taught Russian literature for a number of years. He has also taught at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. His work has appeared in the Times Literary Supplement, The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, London Review of Books, The Guardian, Granta, and other journals. He is the author of many books and is a wonderful translator and has won many prizes for his work. His new book is called My Hollywood and Other Poems, which was published early this year. It is a collection of lyric meditations on the experience of émigrés in Los Angeles. In forms ranging from ballades to villanelles to Onegin sonnets, the poems pursue the sublime in a tarnished landscape, seek continuity and mourn its loss in a town where change is the only constant. My Hollywood draws on the poet’s own life as a Jewish immigrant from the Soviet Union, honors the vanishing traces of the city’s past, and, in crisp and evocative translations, summons the voices of five Russian poets who spent their final years in LA, including the composer Vernon Duke. Our conversation here is focused around Russian history in Los Angeles, Russian immigration, the war in Ukraine, his time as an editor of the LA Review of books and more. Please enjoy our wonderful conversation and buy his equally wonderful new book.

Alan Matheson is a much-admired jazz composer, trumpeter, pianist, and educator. He is an expert in jazz history, and leads his own big band, nonet, septet and trio. Alan has performed with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra,  Louis Bellson, and Phil Woods, and has taught at several music programs in the Vancouver area, including Vancouver Community College, and UBC. In this episode, Alan talks about studying with the world-renowned trumpeter and educator Vincent Chicowicz (Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Northwestern University), how a solo by Bix Beiderbecke made him love jazz, and how Tchaikovsky's music sparked his desire to compose. He also recalls his friendship with the great trumpeter Clark Terry (Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson), and explains how a visit to Helsinki created a long-standing musical partnership with the Finnish bassist, Wade Mikkola.Throughout the episode you'll witness Alan's deep understanding of the language of improvised music, and be treated to his encyclopaedic knowledge of jazz from the last century and onward.Find out more about Alan at alanmatheson.comMusic samples in this episode:“Open Letter to Mingus” - Written by Alan Matheson, performed by the Alan Matheson Nonet“Ballad of the Fallen” - El Salvadorean folk song, performed by Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra “On the Sunny Side of the Street”  - Written by Jimmy McHugh/Dorothy Fields, performed by Diana Krall“Vernal Suite” - Written by Christin Jensen, performed by The Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra“Concerto for 2 Trumpets in C Major” - Written by Antonio Vivaldi, performed by Vincent Cichowicz and Fred Herseth “Jackson Square” - Written by Alan Matheson, performed by the Alan Matheson Nonet“Love Nest” - Written by Otto Harbach and Louis Hirsch, performed by Bix Beiderbecke with Paul Whiteman “In A Mist” - Written and performed by Bix Beiderbecke“The Mooche” - Written by Duke Ellington and Irving Mills, performed by the Duke Ellington Orchestra (feat.

WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?"CHAMELEON"  by Maynard Ferguson (Columbia, 1974)I admit that I'm woefully unequipped to discuss Big Band music, or any Jazz for that matter, in great detail. Although, throughout my life I've developed a passion for the odd jazz master here and there, and as a matter of personal pride I've always strived to be conversant in the subject, at the very least. However, the trumpeter Maynard Ferguson was a blank slate for me. So, when combing through my 8 tracks and I stumbled upon this cart, I decided to give it a spin. This record depicts big band music at that cusp of time when it was struggling for relevance. Doc Severinson, Johnny Carson's band leader, (another trumpet player), played what seemed comically bloated and old fashioned - my parent's music. Maynard Ferguson was Doc's contemporary who played with him in Charlie Barnet's band in the late 40's, and he carried the big band flag all the way to his death in 2006 at the age of 78. When he made Chameleon in '74 he was 46 - still vital and searching for a key to the mystic highway. The covers of Paul McCartney's Jet, the titular funk track by Herbie Hancock, and the sprawling Livin' for the City by Stevie Wonder all testify to this cool Quebecois's questing versatility. And it's good stuff - lustily orchestrated and delivered. As his obit in the Washington Post described Mr. Ferguson's high register wailing: he was: “…. A gladiator, a combat soldier, a prize fighter, a circus strongman…” Now here's where the story gets weird and interesting for me: In 1963, Maynard brought his family to live with Timothy Leary and Ram Dass at their compound in Hitchcock Estates and lived there for three years, recording and taking psychedelics. Then, he went to India and taught Krishnamurti at the Rishi Valley School. And, he always attributed his ability to hit and sustain those high notes from his Yogic breath control. This turned my perception of this artist's output on its head.

Moving on with unofficial Franklin Mint Month we come across another extremely talented and influential saxophone player.

This week's quiz: On 6 August, I asked you a question about an article written by RFI English journalist Michael Fitzpatrick, about Macron's loss of an overall majority in France's National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament. This means his party's proposed laws will have a much harder time passing than in his last presidential term when he had the absolute majority. Compromise, coalitions – all that's now necessary, and we've been watching closely how this new political landscape will play out. As Michael wrote in his article “After angry debate, French parliament agrees spending power budget changes”, you'll read exactly how that is going … as Michael put it: “After four days of frequently violent verbal clashes, the French National Assembly on Wednesday morning finally passed the budgetary adjustments needed to finance measures aimed at boosting spending power.” I asked you to send me the answer to this question: How many deputies from the right-leaning French political party “Les Républicans” joined with members from Macron's party “Renaissance” to pass the adjustments to the 2022 budget? The answer is, as Michael wrote: “The presidential faction and its allies profited from the support of the 54 deputies of the Republican right, which is anxious to position itself as a ‘constructive opposition.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the Bonus Question: “When are you at your best?” The winners are: Khondaker Rafiqul Islam, who's the president of the Source of Knowledge Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh, and is also the winner of this week's Bonus Question. The other winners this week are RFI Listeners Club members Mogire Machuki from Kissi, Kenya; Hans Verner Lollike from Hedehusene, Denmark; Ding Lu from Jiangsu Province in China, and RFI English listener Sultana Begum from Sirajganj, Bangladesh.   Congratulations winners!

Otoño en New York es un clásico de Vladimir Dukelsky y no es el único standard suyo que habla de un lugar y una estación (recuerden Abril en París, por ejemplo). Compuso otros memorables como "I can't get started" y "Taking a chance on love". Claro, era más conocido por su nombre artístico: Vernon Duke. Escuchamos a Billie Holiday, Satchmo, Bud Powell, Parker, Stitt, el MJQ, Chet Baker, Dexter Gordon, Tal Farlow y otros.            

This is what all the fuss is about. From Frank Sinatra's 1959 album No One Cares, here is Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin's I Can't Get Started. Arranged by Gordon Jenkins. Credits: Theme music by Erik Blicker and Glenn Schloss Edited by Katie Cali Send comments to sinatramatters@gmail.com

My guest on this episode is Mark Eden Horowitz who joins me to talk about his fascinating new book, The Letters of Oscar Hammerstein II. Mark is Senior Music Specialist in the music division of the Library of Congress where he has been an archivist or co-archivist for the papers of Jerome Kern, Vernon Duke, Cole Porter, Frederick Loewe, Alan Jay Lerner, Leonard Bernstein, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein He is also the author of the award-winning book Sondheim On Music, and for ten years he served as the contributing editor for The Sondheim Review. This latest book contains hundreds of previously unpublished letters to and from Hammerstein that Mark compiled and edited. And through these letters we get to go inside the mind of Oscar Hammerstein and get an extraordinary, never before seen view of both his professional and personal life. It's one of those books where you can turn to any page and find something fascinating that you never knew before. Mark will also be joining me for a special Broadway Nation Livestream event on Friday, May 19, at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT. The event will include trivia contests, book give-aways, and the chance to ask Mark any question you may have about his new book, Oscar Hammerstein, or Mark's work at the Library of Congress.

Tercer programa que dediquem aquesta temporada a la m

Ni puedo empezar contigo, es el título de este gran tema de Vernon Duke con letra de Ira Gershwin en 1936.  Bunny Berigan (tp) la eligió como su tema para su nueva banda y la lanzó a la fama en el jazz en 1937. Escuchamos esa versión junto con las de Billie Holiday, Artie Shaw, Ella, Lester Young, Cannonball, Bud Powell, Mingus, Dizzy y otros.  

Synopsis On today's date in 1903, a baby boy was born in the Russian railroad station of Parfianovka. The proud parents of little Vladimir Dukelsky were both musical, and so lulled him to sleep with Italian opera arias – presumably the SLOW ones! Not surprisingly, little Vladimir grew up to become a composer. After the Russian Revolution, Dukelsky ended up playing the piano at movie theaters and cabarets in Constantinople. It was there that he first heard the music of George Gershwin. In 1921, Dukelsky came to the United States and thereafter pursued a remarkable dual career: as Vladimir Dukelsky, he composed concert music for the likes of the Ballet Russe and the Boston Symphony; as “Vernon Duke,” following Gershwin's example, he composed popular songs for Broadway and Hollywood. Some of his songs, like “April in Paris” and “Autumn in New York,” became pop standards. Said Vladimir Dukelsky, “There isn't a note of jazz in my serious music, and there are no symphonic overtones in my musical-comedy output. My versatility, far from being a boon, has in reality been infuriating… The critical boys seem to think there is something monstrous about a composer writing two different kinds of music under two different names.” Music Played in Today's Program Vladimir Dukelsky (1903 – 1969) — Zephyr et Flore Ballet (Hague Orchestra; Gennady Rozhdestvensky, cond.)

En El Guateque (orm.es; domingos, 22,05h) rescatamos olvidadas melodías del ayer. Celebramos el éxito de Massiel en Eurovisión. La cantante madrileña ganó el festival con tan solo 20 años y con una polémica previa por el tema ‘La, la, la' .A la celebración se les unió incluso Cliff Richard, que se tuvo que conformar con el segundo puesto.Monna Bell fue una de las intérpretes más galardonadas en los festivales y certámenes de principios de los 60, donde su presencia era casi obligatoria. Despedimos a Henry Stephen, considerado uno de los pioneros del rock venezolano desde los años 60. Stephen es recordado, sobre todo, por ser el intérprete de Limón limonero, lanzada al mercado en 1968 , que se convirtió en un himno intergeneracional. También fue el vocalista de Los Impala, con los que grabó un par de discos. Y siguiendo con limones, un magnífico pasodoble compuesto por Antonio Martínez Endique, con música de Manuel Masotti, en el que se presentan escenas costumbristas de la huerta murciana, que grabaron el Trio Las Vegas y convirtió en un éxito universal Manolo Escobar. Lolita Torres canta "Murcia, jardín de España", pasodoble de Salvador Valverde y Ramón Zarzoso, en la película argentina "Novia para dos" del año 1956. La primavera ejerce un poder muy especial en todas las personas. Es la época del año con más estímulos visuales. Las Hermanas Fleta anuncian la llegada de la primavera. The Velvets fueron un grupo de du dua americano que grabaron una melodía killer escrita por Roy Orbison ( que él curiosamente nunca grabó). Count Basie tenía la mejor orquesta de swing del planeta. Esta pieza, "April in Paris", de Vernon Duke, que produjo el grandísimo Norman Granz muestra su estilo elegante y austero. Un 16 de abril de 1973 se nos fue el gran Nino Bravo. "Nada me importa" es un tema pop desenfadado y bien construido de Módulos, que recibió el toque Trabuchelli.

El clásico de Vernon Duke y Yip Harburg, 'April in Paris', en 1956 en las voces de Ella Fitzgerald y Louis Armstrong, con el cuarteto de Oscar Peterson, y tocado al piano un año antes por Blossom Dearie a la que escuchamos en estudio ('How insensitive', 'Once I loved') y en un club de jazz ('Quiet nights', 'Mad about the boy'). Para su disco de hace dos años, 'Bassically Jazz', el bajista David Finck grabó canciones como 'Old devil moon', 'O barquinho' o 'When I look in your eyes'.

durée : 00:31:03 - Les Nuits de France Culture - En 1991, dans "Le Rythme et la raison", après celles de Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Harold Arlen et Hoagy Carmichael, c'était aux compositions de Vernon Duke que rendait hommage le cinquième et dernier volet de la série que Daniela Langer consacrait à l'âge d'or de la musique populaire américaine.

This album signals a new era for Mingus with the addition of two new and talented saxophonists to the ranks of his "Jazz Workshop". John Handy on alto saxophone and Booker Ervin on tenor blend beautifully and of course are fine musicians and original stylists. Their presence signals a new beginning for Mingus' music and a great productive period. This album is part of a concert performed at the Nonagon Art Gallery in New York on January 16,1959. 1959 was one of Mingus' great years. Horace Parlan was Mingus' regular pianist and he was called away on a family emergency but Handy recommended his friend Richard Wyands to sub. Wyands played Mingus' difficult music with no problem and fit right in. Only four tunes make up this album but they are all superb. Handy, Ervin, Wyands all driven by Mingus on bass and Dannie Richmond's creative drumming. From the The excitement of "No Private Income Blues" to the ballad mastery of John Handy and Mingus on Vernon Duke's "I Can't Get Started" to "Nostalgia in Times Square" to the haunting "Alice's Wonderland" this is a great concert. Strangely when first issued it was given only 2 out of 5 stars and dismissed as inconsequential. This is the last album of under reviewed albums that deserved much more. No one would dismiss this classic today so enjoy and check out the majesty of Mingus' music with this superb edition of his Jazz Workshop.

Ethel Waters was a pioneer who broke down barriers on Broadway, in films, and on television. She was the first to sing the song “Stormy Weather” at the famed Cotton Club in 1933. In fact, her recording of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame nearly 70 years after she recorded it and in 2004, The Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry. But behind Waters’ soft smile, was pain and sadness. Phyllis Morrison and Kenneth Hinton introduce us to the woman behind the music. Morrison is playing Waters in the Agape Theatre Project production of ‘Sweet Mama Stringbean, the Life and Times of Ethel Waters’ which Hinton is directing.  About the Guests Kenneth Hinton is an educator, actor, stage and video director, and playwright.
