Artie Shaw
Artie Shaw (born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky; May 23, 1910 – December 30, 2004) was an American clarinetist, composer, bandleader, actor and author of both fiction and non-fiction. Widely regarded as "one of jazz's finest clarinetists", Shaw led one of the United States' most popular big bands in the late 1930s through the early 1940s. Though he had numerous hit records, he was perhaps best known for his 1938 recording of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine". Before the release of "Beguine", Shaw and his fledgling band had languished in relative obscurity for over two years and, after its release, he became a major pop artist in short order. The record eventually became one of the era's defining recordings. Musically restless, Shaw was also an early proponent of what became known much later as Third Stream music, which blended elements of classical and jazz forms and traditions. His music influenced other musicians, such as Monty Norman in England, whose "James Bond Theme" features a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bud Powell
Earl Rudolph "Bud" Powell (September 27, 1924 – July 31, 1966) was an American jazz pianist and composer. A pioneer in the development of bebop and its associated contributions to jazz theory,Grove Powell's application of complex phrasing to the piano influenced both his contemporaries and later pianists including Walter Davis Jr., Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Barry Harris. Born in the midst of the Harlem Renaissance to a musical family, Powell, during the 1930s, developed an attacking, right-handed approach to the piano, which marked a break from the left-handed approach of stride and ragtime that had been prevalent. Upon joining trumpeter Cootie Williams's band in 1943, he received attention from the broader musical community for his fluency and advanced technique. In 1945, he suffered a severe beating by police, followed by several years of intermittent institutionalizations. However, his recordings and live performances with Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, and Max Roach during ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its roots are in blues, ragtime, European harmony, African rhythmic rituals, spirituals, hymns, marches, vaudeville song, and dance music. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. However, jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, ...

I've Got Your Number (Cy Coleman Song)
"I've Got Your Number" is a popular song composed by Cy Coleman with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh for the 1962 musical '' Little Me''. It was originally introduced by Swen Swenson and Virginia Martin in the show. '' American Theatre'' editor-in-chief Rob Weinert-Kendt wrote of the song in 2020, "It's got a sharp lyric by Carolyn Leigh and a wonderfully sneaky chart by Cy Coleman, a jazzman who happened to write for the musical theatre. The key to its success is in its marriage of those two elements; it's a song about essentially cornering someone, not with hostility or predation but with a certain teasing knowingness, as if to say, 'Drop the act, I'm onto you, we belong together,' and the song's harmonic structure keeps enacting a sort of unflustered, don't-change-the-subject move." The song was performed frequently on TV variety shows of the 1960s, such as by Gwen Verdon and Danny Kaye on ''The Danny Kaye Show'' in 1964, Joey Heatherton on ''The Dean Martin Show'' in 1965, and Barbara E ...
