Night Music (play)
''Night Music'' is a 1940 play by Clifford Odets. Written in 1939 and produced by the Group Theatre, the play was a commercial failure, closing after 20 performances. The play's failure contributed to the dissolution of the Group Theatre. Odets would ultimately spend several months in Hollywood, California in 1940 preparing a screenplay for ''Night Music'', but the screenplay was never produced. It was Odets' last play for the Group Theatre, which was closed in early 1941. The play, Odets' first attempt at comedy, tells the story of Steve Takis, a young film studio employee who is sent to New York City to collect two trained monkeys and bring them back to Hollywood. One of the monkeys discards his wallet and identity papers, causing havoc, and Takis winds up in jail. He is befriended by a policeman, Detective Rosenberger, and falls in love with a young actress, Fay Tucker. In her 1990 book on the Group Theatre, ''Real Life Drama'', author Wendy Smith called the plot premise "abs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

David Sanborn
David William Sanborn (born July 30, 1945) is an American alto saxophonist. Though Sanborn has worked in many genres, his solo recordings typically blend jazz with instrumental pop and R&B. He released his first solo album ''Taking Off'' in 1975, but has been playing the saxophone since before he was in high school. One of the most commercially successful American saxophonists to earn prominence since the 1980s, Sanborn is described by critic Scott Yannow as "the most influential saxophonist on pop, R&B, and crossover players of the past 20 years." He is often identified with radio-friendly smooth jazz, but he has expressed a disinclination for the genre and his association with it. Early life Sanborn was born in Tampa, Florida, and grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri. He suffered from polio for eight years in his youth. He began playing saxophone on a physician's advice to strengthen his weakened chest muscles and improve his breathing, instead of studying piano. Alto saxophonis ...

Night Music (Bartók)
Night music is a musical style of the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók which he used mostly in slow movements of multi-movement ensemble or orchestra compositions in his mature period. It is characterized by "eerie dissonances providing a backdrop to sounds of nature and lonely melodies."Schneider, p.84 Characteristics As with many musical styles, it is not possible to make a satisfying let alone indisputable definition of Night music. Bartók did not say or explain much about this style, but he approved of the term and used it himself. Most of the works in Night music style do not carry a title. From an audience point of view "'Night Music' consists of those works or passages which convey to the listener the sounds of nature at night". This is quite subjective and self-referential. Mostly, subjective and far-fetched descriptions are available: "quiet, blurred cluster-chords and imitations of the twittering of birds and croaking of nocturnal creatures", "In an atmosphere of hushe ...
