SUMMARY:Big Band Swing Music Vol. 1 Presentation with John Clark
DESCRIPTION:The Big Band era officially started in the summer of 1935\, but the transition from hot jazz and Dixieland\nhad begun much earlier in the decade. We’ll trace the roots of Big Band music\,\nincluding the back story of the King of Swing himself\, Benny Goodman. Then you’ll\nhear his hits like Goody\, Goody\, Taking a Chance on Love and the historic Carnegie\nHall performance of Sing\, Sing\, Sing! You’ll also be treated to recordings of live\nperformances of Goodman vocalists Martha Tilton and Peggy Lee. The last third of the\nprogram is devoted to the most popular bandleader of this period\, Glenn Miller with 22 chart-topping songs from 1939-1943. \nYou’ll understand the origins of the unmistakable Glenn Miller\nsound heard clearly in his theme song\, Moonlight Serenade. You’ll see performances of two of his\nbiggest hits\, Chattanooga Choo Choo and In the Mood. There’s even footage of Glenn leading the 50-\npiece Army Air Force Band in the summer of 1944\, just months before he boarded the flight to France\nthat took his life. For ten years orchestral jazz became America’s popular music and you’re invited to\nwax nostalgic as you learn about two of its biggest stars. Prior to a career as a high school and adult\neducation teacher\, John Clark worked in music publishing in Nashville. He enjoys sharing his passion for\nmusic with senior centers and senior residences. \nOpen to out-of-towners age 60+ for $5 \n*Friends of the Acton Council on Aging provides financial assistance for this event.
