Extractions: page: Hollywood honored Edens with three Academy Awards. His first, for Easter Parade , was followed in rapid succession by Oscars for Donen's On the Town (1949) and George Sidney's Annie Get Your Gun Edens played an important part in the career of gay icon Judy Garland. The two met in 1935 when Edens was called in to replace Garland's father, Frank Gumm, an amateur pianist, at Garland's audition at MGM. Edens was quick to appreciate her talent and became not only her musical mentor but also a lifelong friend. Sponsor Message. Edens wrote a song for Garland to sing at Clark Gable's birthday party in 1937. It not only delighted Gable but also favorably impressed the producer of Del Ruth's Broadway Melody of 1938 (1937), who had Garland sing it in the film. After working with Garland on a couple of other projects Edens served as musical director for The Wizard of Oz and also as rehearsal pianist for Garland. Garland's daughter Lorna Luft credits Edens with teaching her mother to have the courage to show her vulnerability in her performances. "Without Roger," she commented, "we might never have had 'Over the Rainbow,' at least not the way we remember it."
Frank Lloyd Wright - Robert Schumann Famous Freethinkers Frank Lloyd wright and Roberet Schumann. RobertSchumann (1810). It was also on this date, June 8, 1810, that German Romantic http://www.ronaldbrucemeyer.com/rants/0608almanac.htm
Extractions: It was on this date, June 8, 1867, that American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin, the son of a preacher and a teacher. He was brought up a Unitarian. He studied civil engineering ay the University of Wisconsin and got his first architectural job at a firm in Chicago. Wright started his own firm in 1893 after being fired from another Chicago firm for moonlighting. Between 1893 and 1909 Wright began to develop his "Prairie House" concept of design. He married several times and acquired hundreds of commissions over his long career: the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Fallingwater, the Price Tower skyscraper, the Guggenheim Museum, the Marin County Civic Center, and his own home in Wisconsin, Taliesen. About religion, Wright said, "I believe in God, only I spell it Nature." Indeed, he stressed, "Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain" You could call Wright's belief a sort of Pantheism, for Wright would say, "Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." God is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature and it has been said often by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And, I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see. If we wish to know the truth concerning anything, we'll find it in the nature of that thing.

Extractions: Synthesis has characterized improvised music over the past couple of years, as new media has finally caught up with its true reach. Unlike multinational corporations that use convergence and globalization as code words for ensuring their products are forced upon the masses in the strip malls of the entire world, improv actually is a global phenomenon. Today, the growth of the Internet plus the ability to create less expensive CDs has allowed the isolated pockets of like-minded performers to get in contact with one another and their listeners. Audiences may still be tiny by pop music standards, but players and venues now have an easier time communicating with one another. Most importantly, with the creation of many improv festivals in North America and Europe, musicians can have something resembling a career, if they're willing to always be on the road and to sell their CDs from the stand.

LEO WRIGHT - Biography 1 Jazz saxophonist and flutist Leo wright. Biography, discography, photos, links . Between February and April, Leo played on pianist´s TADD DAMERON´s The http://mitglied.lycos.de/condouant/leo.html
Extractions: Alto saxophonist / flutist / clarinetist and outstanding Downbeat award winner Leo Wright is one of the lesser-known voices of jazz, although he certainly gained a high degree of recognition as a sideman, particularly with DIZZY GILLESPIE, JACK McDUFF, OLIVER NELSON, LALO SCHIFRIN, JOHNNY COLES, KENNY BURRELL and at times with the Mingus group. With only rare few albums to his name, Wright was relegated to a secondary tier within the consciousness of jazzdom, and undeservedly so, probably because he worked exten- sively in Europe. When he was drafted into the Army, it seemed that good saxophonists existed there in great number, but as a flutist, he readily found a berth in an Army orchestra overseas. In December 1956 military service took him to Stuttgart and Augsburg (Germany) for 21 months. While serving in the United States Air Force he played with the 7th Army band that included: EDDIE HARRIS, CEDAR WALTON , DON ELLIS, LEX HUMPHRIES, DON MENZA , LANNY MORGAN

BRAHMS By David Wright Dr David CF wright. based on his article. What makes a great composer? Of course, I refer to robert Schumann and his wife Clara. http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2002/July02/Brahms_profile.htm
Extractions: THE GREAT COMPOSERS An Occasional Series by Dr David C F Wright based on his article What makes a great composer? BRAHMS This article was first given as an illustrated talk in Scottish universities in 1992 where the text was printed and distributed. Next to Beethoven, Brahms is the greatest composer. In some ways Brahms is preferable since his music has a greater polish and a more fluid style than Beethoven. While the form and structure of most of Beethoven's work is admirable Brahms added a new dimension. He is classical but he is also romantic. And it must be remembered that romantic has nothing to do with sexual interest between people but the word means imaginative and much more! But Brahms has been maligned. He was plagued with the inane charge that his superlative Symphony no. 1 was really Beethoven's Tenth.
C L A N G the pianist responds with lefthanded palm clusters on one side of the box Mark Corroto, All About Jazz, Jack wright and Bob Falesch are perfect http://www.zeggz.com/clang.html
Extractions: (saxophone, piano) "Here the perpetual motion keyboard machine easily matches the aviary crowing, prolonged reed trills, trenchant growls and split second flutter tonguing Wright uses for note delivery. Other times as the saxophonist makes a solo out of single-note slap tonguing and sonorous vibratos, the pianist responds with left-handed palm clusters on one side of the box and right-handed finger tinkles on the other, eventually smashing out intense chords as Wright harshly probes the stratosphere." - -Ken Waxman, Jazz Weekly "With much admiration, I have followed the very uncompromising career of saxophonist Jack Wright. His music is heady, intellectual, coarse music/anti-music... Where Jack Wright excels is in his interplay with other musicians. On Clang, Jack finds his most sympathetic partner to date...Faleschs influence spurs Wrights playing into new territory. His horn flows most freely here, laying down note-upon-note of beauty."
