Glazier Does Gershwin July 4th is all the excuse I need to write about American composers or performers. This month I can do both simultaneously thanks to the superb recording of unusual Gershwin repertoire by the gifted 33-year-old American pianist Richard Glazier. The compact disc is called "Gershwin: Remembrance and Discovery," and it's on the Centaur label (CRC 2271). This CD is distributed by Qualiton Imports, though in this case it is "imported" from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a place where, it seems, both modern politicians and classical Centaurs live. Of course there is no more American composer than George Gershwin. It would be hard to find a compatriot who didn't love his music. He was the first highly successful cross-over composer, writing long-form "classical" music that instantly became as popular as his most popular tunes. In my view, Gershwin was one of the greatest tunesmiths in all music history, knocking out one gorgeous, unforgettable melody after another - an American Schubert, although, unlike poor Franz, very much appreciated in his own time. As you can imagine, I have quite a collection of Gershwin CDs, so it's hard for any solo pianist to come up with repertoire that isn't already on my shelves. But Glazier has managed to do this, and do it with such feeling, I knew on first hearing that here was a performer who loved Gershwin's music at least as much as I do.

GEORGE CABLES Cables' Vision OJCCD-725-2 (Contemporary 14001) When today's commentators speak of jazz's "in-betweeners," those not old enough to be legends yet too old to be young lions, pianist/composer George Cables could serve as Exhibit A. Cables was 35 years old, with a résumé including extensive service with the likes of Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, and Art Pepper, before he got his first chance to record under his own name for an American label on this 1979 session. He chose an all-star setting, with former bosses Hubbard and Hutcherson (each of whom contributed a tune), the multi-talented Ernie Watts (on soprano sax, tenor sax, and flute), and an even younger in-betweener, drummer Peter Erskine. Despite the musical success of this album, and the continuing insistence of the likes of Frank Morgan that Cables is their pianist of choice, Cables' Vision remains, like its creator, deserving of much wider recognition.

By ROBERT HICKS published May 23, 2002 His music, from the show tunes, arias and ballads to the classical Rhapsody in Blue, inspire pianist Michael Kim in ''Gershwin, By George.'' Part of that legacy will be celebrated this weekend when the Florida Orchestra, featuring pianist Michael Kim under guest conductor Skitch Henderson, presents "Gershwin, By George." Kim, 34, an assistant professor at Lawrence University in Wisconsin, is making his Florida debut tonight. He first discovered Gershwin during his youth in Calgary. He remembers hearing Rhapsody in Blue over the Canadian Broadcasting Company. He bought the sheet music at a local music store, but his teacher steered him instead to Bach, Beethoven and Chopin. Kim later studied at the University of Calgary and Juilliard School of Music. Finally, in 1996, he got his first opportunity to perform Gershwin with the Boston Pops Orchestra. "I rank Gershwin as one of the great geniuses of the 20th century," Kim said. "He really knew how to write good music.

George Gershwin (1898-1937) George Gershwin was a very normal boy - he was the undisputed roller-skating champion of his neighborhood on the lower East side of New York. He even felt that youngsters who went in for music were sissies. But one day a young violinist, Max Rosen, played for his fellow classmates at PS 25. George had not been interested enough to attend the performance, but heard it through the assembly hall window. Gershwin later wrote: "It was, to me, a flashing revelation of beauty." Max opened the world of music to George, and George taught Max wrestling. One climactic day, his friend told George that he had better give up all thoughts of a musical career, saying "You haven't it in you; take my word for it." Fortunately for American music, George ignored his friends advice.

The show's title, "Nice Work If You Can Get It," was borrowed from one of the brothers' best-known songs, and, as the catalogue published by Carnegie Hall observes, the two men were opposites in personality, lifestyle, and creative pursuits: "George and his brother Ira represent a unique and perhaps the most successful collaboration in American music. George the composer and pianist, with his musical ability, charismatic personality, energy and ambitious drive, became internationally famous while still in his early twenties and died tragically at the age of thirty-eight.

His song "Swanee," as sung by the legendary Al Jolson, brought fame to Gershwin at the age of 21, and he never looked back. His Broadway musicals, movie songs, symphonic poems and even opera (Porgy and Bess in 1935) were all successful and beloved. Among his most celebrated songs are "Love Walked In," "Embraceable You" and "The Man I Love." Gershwin died of a brain tumor at 39, but his music lives on.

June 16, 2000 - 13 Sivan, 5760 Jazz With Jewish Roots A Canadian piano prodigy brings George Gershwin to glorious life. By Naomi Pffeffermank, Entertainment Editor Actor-pianist-composer Hershey Felder as George Gershwin "George Gershwin Alone," the only one-man show ever permitted by the heirs of the composer for the commercial stage, began in the shadow of the Holocaust. The year was 1995. Actor-pianist-composer Hershey Felder, fluent in French, Hebrew, Yiddish and English, had been invited to Poland to conduct interviews for Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. Late one wintry night, he was summoned to the Cafe Haus in the old Jewish section of Cracow, where Helmuth Spryczer, who as a youth had been pressed into service as gofer to the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele, described how he used to amuse the Auschwitz guards by whistling Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." The piece saved his life, Spryczer said, though as he whistled he heard in the notes the clackity-clack of the cattle-cars and the screams of the dying. As Felder played the piece on the cafe's honky-tonk piano, well past midnight, he heard the screams, too. Three years later, his monologue "SING! A Musical Journey" told the story of the survivor and the "Rhapsody" and earned mostly good reviews at UCLA's Freud Playhouse. The Los Angeles Times, in a laudatory notice, said that viewers would "never hear the 'Rhapsody' the same way again." Gershwin's heirs were not pleased. Apparently they were concerned that the play associated their forebear with the Holocaust.

Music Index Metro Metroactive Central Archives An American in Classics Rhythmic Rhapsody: Pianist Marcus Roberts is one of the jazz world's foremost interpreters of George Gershwin's music. Leonid Grin and Marcus Roberts talk about the 'glorious noise' of George Gershwin By Eric Johnson 'V ARIOUS COMPOSERS have been walking around jazz like a cat around a plate of hot milk, waiting for it to cool off. Lady jazz, adorned with her intriguing rhythms, has danced her way around the world. But she has encountered no knight who could lift her to a level that would enable her to be received as a respectable member of the musical circles. George Gershwin seems to have accomplished this miracle. He has done it by dressing this extremely independent and up-to-date lady in the classical garb of the concerto. He is the prince who has taken Cinderella by the hand and openly proclaimed her to be a princess to the astonished world." The gushing sentiment contained in these words, which the conductor Walter Damrosch spoke at the premiere of Rhapsody in Blue in 1926, probably shocked no one. Gershwin was the most popular songwriter in America, and it's likely that the sophisticated swells in the audience at Carnegie Hall, done up in their ball gowns and tuxedos, had on other nights, when nobody was looking, cried over "But Not for Me" or wiggled their booties to "Fascinatin' Rhythm." Gershwin was a pop genius, and the fans who came to witness his symphonic adventure probably expected to be amazed.

Gabriel, Peter Formerly the leader of the progressive rock group Genesis, Gabriel left that group after their album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway to pursue a solo career. In the years since then, he has crossed paths with Kate Bush several times. In 1979, Gabriel recruited Kate to provide backing vocals for the songs No Self Control and Games Without Frontiers on his third solo album, called Peter Gabriel. (The album bears the same title as its two predecessors due to Gabriel's wish that his albums be regarded as if they were successive issues of a magazine, although this idea was subsequently abandoned. To distinguish it from its predecessors, this album is sometimes called "Melt" or "Melting Face" in reference to the striking cover art.) Kate's exposure to Gabriel's method of composing with a Fairlight CMI and a drum machine profoundly influenced her own approach to songwriting. At around the same time, Gabriel appeared with Kate and Steve Harley at a memorial concert for Bill Duffield at the Hammersmith Odeon on 12 May 1979.
