Not Robert Taub. together Indeed, though some of the sonatas are 200 years old, pianists through the ages have time and again reinterpreted the pieces, framing them with elements of personal style and insight. Taub is no exception. Beethoven composed the sonatas between 1795 and 1822. The fact that he became progressively deaf after 1800 complicated the composing process, but also freed Beethoven from some of the restrictions of conventional composition. This, in turn, frees the pianist from a lot of worries as well. Other related sites: These sites are not part of statenews.com and will open in a new browser window.

4. George Wright, 77, Theater Organist With A Cult Following Flutist Keith wright and pianist robert Koenig perform Lowell Lieberman's Sonata for Flute and Piano, Autumn Soliloquy http://theatreorgans.com/cds/fastweb.html

May 30, 1998 George Wright, 77, Theater Organist With a Cult Following By ROBERT McG. THOMAS Jr, eorge Wright, a master theater organist with such a deft touch it was said he could make a mighty Wurlitzer swing when it wasn't actually jitterbugging, died on May 10 at a Los Angeles hospital near his home atop the Hollywood Hills. He was 77. Friends said the cause was congestive heart failure. In an era of rock and rap it's easy to forget that the Wurlitzer was once the dominant musical instrument of the land, underscoring and heightening everything from tense cliffhangers to tender love scenes in the silent movie palaces of the 1920s. It is a tribute to the powerful appeal the soaring, multi-faceted music exerted on movie audiences that when the advent of talkies rendered the Wurlitzer redundant as instant sound track, theaters continued to schedule organ concerts before, between and after movie screenings. Wright was born too late for silent movie work, but it is a tribute to his artistry that he was packing them in at the Fox Theater in San Francisco in the 1940s, playing at sold-out houses at the Paramount Theater in New York as late as the 1950s, touring through the 1970s and turning out the most recent of his some 60 albums this past February. Along the way, he, like the Wurlitzer, acquired a cult following. And if that is another way of saying that theater

9. Robert "Huckleberry Hound" Wright, 1937-2001 CHICAGO — Drummer robert Huckleberry Hound wright died March 18 by his closefriend and confidant, Katie Moore — wife of pianist Aaron Moore http://www.bluesmusicnow.com/wright41.html

Drummer Robert "Huckleberry Hound" Wright, dies at 63 By Steve Sharp Wright was the drummer on Aaron Moore's debut Delmark Records CD, "Hello World." Moore, himself, called Wright one of the best drummers with whom he had ever played. "I'd rather have Huck than anybody," Moore said. "He had that shuffle, and that's hard to find." Wright was born March 21, 1937, in Greenwood, Miss. He grew up in Memphis and moved to Chicago in 1959. Wright performed with many greats, including Magic Sam, Bo Diddley, Eddie C. Campbell and Brewer Phillips. He can be heard backing Sam at the famous Ann Arbor Blues Festival in the 1960s on Delmark Records. He was Campbell's drummer on the Blind Pig CD "That's When I Know." Wright also recorded on many other sessions. In addition to touring with Campbell and Moore, Wright could be found for much of the 1990s backing South Side soul singer Johnny Laws on Friday and Saturday nights at the Cuddle Inn on South Ashland Avenue. One of Wright's last major gigs was supporting Campbell at the 2000 King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, Ark. "He was the master of the double-shuffle," Campbell said. "He was also my friend, and one of the kindest men who ever lived...There will never be another like him."

News and Updates March 27,2003 •Robert Downey Jr. has come aboard to star in a segment for Steven Soderbergh's "Eros", a movie consisting of short films by Soderbergh, Michelangelo Antonioni and Wong Kar-wai. For Downey, the job comes before he will join Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz in the Mathieu Kassovitz-directed "Gothika" at Warner Bros. He's coming off The Singing Detective, the Icon-produced film bought by Paramount Classics after making its debut at the Sundance Film Festival. •Now that "Chicago" has won so many Oscars, the world should be primed for the release of "The Singing Detective". Congratulations to the "Detective" co-star Adrien Brody for his Best Actor win! February 10, 2003 •Rumors are flying that Robert was offered a role in the upcoming movie "Gothika" starring Halle Berry. I hope it's true, but I will have to wait and see. First, because Robert has turned down many roles he has been offered and secondly because this is just a rumor that thezreview.co.uk heard in an email that a staff member at a talent agency had read a report that Downey, Jr. had been offered the part of Pete. They say it's just a rumor but other sites (like Dark Horizons) are misinterpreting it. February 7, 2003

l BIOGRAPHY PART 1 o o biography o I o discography o o o o o o o o l 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 extensively in Europe. Leo Nash Wright was born December 14, 1933 in Wichita Falls / Texas. Special achievements helped him to get a scholarship for the Tillotson College in Austin/Texas (former Sam Houston College before it became the combined Houston-Tillotson College). Austin had a well-developed jazz scene during that time, trumpeter BOBBY BRADFORD was there, he and Leo played together in the 18-piece college jazz band From A fireside chat with Bobby Bradford 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

Laurie Wright Prof. Lawrence Gushee Roger Richard Prof. James Dapogny ... Mike Meddings Laurie Wright was born in Ware, Hertfordshire in 1929. His interest in rhythmic music began at an early age. He opened an electrical and record shop in Walthamstow, East London in 1955, doing his best to promote jazz. Then in 1965, together with Jack Harvey and three other friends, he founded the internationally acclaimed magazine “Storyville.” In 1968, along with John R.T. Davis, he produced the booklet “Morton’s Music” and he began publishing a long series of jazz books, several of which he wrote himself. Major works by Laurie include: “ Mr. Jelly Lord ,” “King Oliver,” “Fats In Fact,” and the “Jug Bands of Louisville.” By June 1995 the “Storyville” magazine had reached 162 issues, all published on time - a notable achievement. Since “retiring” in 1995, Laurie has produced three follow-up volumes of the magazine and he now continues his researches in a more leisurely way. Prof. Lawrence Gushee The University of California Press , the book reasserts the importance of this work of African American biography to the study of jazz and American culture.

Classical Editor: Rob Barnett Founder Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net Music Web is now partnering Explore their site. World-wide FREE postage on CD purchases 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. Sadly, there is a lot of nonsense talked about classical and serious music. The greater tragedy is that some of it is believed and therefore is accepted as fact.
