Myriam Alter "If" full album





Holiday Playlist...

When read as prose, the song titles on If
become a poetic tribute to composer Myriam Alter's idealized concept of
“Home.” Ten new compositions make up If and are in part inspired by Ms.
Alter’s Judeo-Spanish heritage. The arrangements further expand upon her
musical lineage by additionally acknowledging modern jazz and classical
while prominently featuring Jewish music’s long time relationship with
the Argentinean tango. The result is a coherent personal musical
statement whose roots run deep and is a breath of fresh air to a world
musical realm that at times suffocates in its attempt to be stylish.

Jimmy Forrest - Bolo Blues





Tonight's Classic Jazz Corner... Jimmy 'Night Train' Forrest!

The phenomenal James Robert Forrest Jr. (1920–1980) was an African-American tenor jazz saxophonist, born in St. Louis. So was the famous heavyweight boxer Sonny Liston, who would listen to Forrest's music during training sessions and before fights. Interesting that such a smooth tenor could bring out such a fierce blow.

Claudio Arrau Schumann Faschingsschwank aus Wien Op. 26 V Final





Today's Classical Corner.. Schumann!

Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
was a German composer and influential music critic. He left the study of
Law, to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist. He may have become the
finest pianist in Europe, but a hand injury ended that dream, and
Schumann then focused his musical energies on composing, writing
exclusively for the piano until 1840, after which he among other things
composed also for chamber, orchestra, and vocal songs.
Schumann
suffered from a lifelong mental disorder, first manifesting itself in
1833. After a suicide attempt in 1854, Schumann was admitted to a mental
asylum, at his own request, and died sadly two years later in 1856.
To me, his music is vibrant, flowery, melodic, with a hint of mischievous melancholia (if there is such a thing).
