Artie Shaw (born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky;
May 23, 1910 – December 30, 2004) was an American clarinetist, composer,
bandleader, actor and author of both fiction and non-fiction.
Widely regarded as "one of
jazz's finest clarinetists",Shaw led one of the United States' most popularbig bandsin the late 1930s
through the early 1940s. Though he had numerous hit records, he was perhaps
best known for his 1938 recording of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine." Before the release of "Beguine,"
Shaw and his fledgling band had languished in relative obscurity for over two
years and, after its release, he became a major pop artist within short order.
The record eventually became one of the era's defining recordings. Musically
restless, Shaw was also an early proponent of what became known much later as Third Streammusic, which blended
elements of classical and jazz forms and traditions. His music influenced other
musicians, such as Monty Normanin England, with the vamp of the James Bond Theme, possibly influenced by 1938's
"Nightmare".
Shaw also recorded with small jazz
groups drawn from within the ranks of the big bandshe led. He served in the US Navyfrom 1942 to 1944,
during which time he led a morale-building band that toured the South Pacific. Following
his discharge in 1944, he returned to lead a band through 1945. Following the
breakup of that band, he began to focus on other interests and gradually
withdrew from the world of being a professional musician and major celebrity,
although he remained a force in popular music and jazz before retiring from
music completely in 1954
"Blues in the Night" is a popularbluessong which has become a pop standardand is generally considered to
be part of the Great American
Songbook. The music was written by Harold Arlen, the lyrics by Johnny Mercer, for a 1941 film begun with the working title Hot
Nocturne, but finally released as Blues in the Night. The song is sung in the film by William Gillespie.
Benjamin David Goodman (May 30, 1909 – June
13, 1986) was an American jazz clarinetist and bandleader known as the
"King of Swing".
In the mid-1930s, Goodman led one of the most
popular musical groups in the United States. His concert at Carnegie Hallin New York City on January 16, 1938, is described by critic Bruce
Eder as "the single most important jazz or popular music concert in
history: jazz's 'coming out' party to the world of 'respectable' music."
Goodman's
bands started the careers of many jazz musicians. During an era of racial
segregation, he led one of the first integrated jazz groups. He
performed nearly to the end of his life while exploring an interest in classical music.
Goodman was the ninth of twelve children born
to poor Jewish emigrants from the Russian
Empire. His father, David Goodman (1873–1926), came
to the United States in 1892 from Warsawin partitioned
Polandand became a tailor. His mother, Dora Grisinsky, (1873–1964),
came from Kovno.
They met in Baltimore, Maryland, and moved to Chicago before Goodman's birth. With
little income and a large family, they moved to the Maxwell Streetneighborhood, an overcrowded slum near railroad yards and factories
that was populated by German, Irish, Italian, Polish, Scandinavian, and Jewish
immigrants.
Money
was a constant problem. On Sundays, his father took the
children to free band concerts in Douglass
Park, which was the first time Goodman
experienced live professional performances. To give his children some skills
and an appreciation for music, his father enrolled ten-year-old Goodman and two
of his brothers in music lessons, from 1919, at the Kehelah Jacob Synagogue and
Benny received two years of instruction from the classically trained
clarinetist and Chicago Symphony member, Franz Schoepp. During the next year
Goodman joined the boys club band at Hull House,
where he received lessons from director James Sylvester. By joining the band, he was
entitled to spend two weeks at a summer camp near Chicago. It
was the only time he could get away from his bleak neighborhood. At 13, he got
his first union card. He performed on Lake Michigan excursion boats, and in
1923 played at Guyon's Paradise, a local dance hall.
In summer 1923, he met Bix Beiderbecke.
He attended the Lewis Institute (Illinois Institute of Technology) in 1924
as a high-school sophomore and played clarinet in a dance hall band.
When he was 17, his father was killed by a
passing car after stepping off a streetcar. His father's death was "the
saddest thing that ever happened in our family", Goodman said
Jermaine Lamarr Cole (born January 28, 1985)
known professionally as J. Cole, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and
record producer. Cole is regarded as one of the most influential rappers of his
generation. Born on a military base in Germany and raised in Fayetteville,
North Carolina, Cole initially gained
recognition as a rapper following the release of his debut mixtape, The Come Up, in
early 2007. Intent on further pursuing a musical career, he went on to release
two additional mixtapes, The Warm Up(2009)
and Friday Night
Lights(2010) both to critical acclaim, after
signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nationimprint
in 2009.
Cole released his debut studio album, Cole World: The Sideline Story,
in 2011. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.
His next album, Born Sinner(2013),
also topped the Billboard 200. Moving into more consciousthemes, 2014 Forest
Hills Drive(2014) topped the Billboard 200
and earned Cole a Best Rap
Albumnomination at the 2015 Grammy Awards.
His jazzinfluenced
fourth album, 4 Your Eyez Only(2016),
debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Cole's fifth album, KOD(2018),
became his fifth number-one album on the Billboard 200 and featured a
then-record six simultaneous top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, tying The Beatles. His
sixth studio album, The Off-Season, was
released on May 14, 2021.
Self-taught on piano, Cole also acts as a produceralongside his rap career, producing singlesfor artists
such as Kendrick Lamarand Janet Jackson, as well
as handling the majority of the production in his own projects. He has also
developed other ventures, including Dreamville Records,
as well as a non-profit organization called the Dreamville Foundation. Dreamville's
compilation album Revenge of
the Dreamers III(2019) debuted at number one on
the Billboard 200 and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2020 Grammy
Awards. In January 2015, Cole decided to house
single mothers rent-free at his childhood home in Fayetteville,
North Carolina.
Cole has won a Grammy Awardfor Best Rap Song, a Billboard Music Awardfor Top Rap Album,
three Soul Train
Music Awards, and 8 BET Hip Hop Awards.
All five of his albums have been certified platinumby the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA), as well as Revenge of
the Dreamers III.
"My Life" (stylized as "m y. l
i f e") is a song by American rappers J. Cole,
21 Savageand Morray. It is the third track
from Cole's sixth studio album, The Off-Season,
released on May 14, 2021. The song features the hook of "The Life"
(2002) by American rapper Styles P,
as interpolated by Morray. The song is set to release to rhythmic contemporaryradio in the United States on May 25, 2021, as the album's third
single.
The
song marks the second time Cole and Savage collaborated on a song, first time
being "A Lot" (2019). Savage
also appears in Cole's documentar Applying Pressure: The Off-Season. Cole and
Morray were first linked in 2020, when Cole praised Morray's song "Quicksand",
which led to speculations about a possible remix of the song.
Oh, you came there,
God
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Lord
No matter how, no matter how long it take, yeah
No matter how long it take, nigga
Oh, God, yeah
You better be
Spiralin' up, just
like a rich nigga staircase (Spiral up)
No fly zone, please stay the fuck out my airspace (Out my face)
Niggas say things behind backs that they wouldn't dare say (Dare say)
Know it's on sight when I see you, I'm workin' at Squarespace
Yeah, top of the mornin', I know that you thought I was dormant
Woke up early from shots that were swarmin'
A block full of opps, now the cops in an orbit
Guess somebody got popped, now they knockin' on doors
Tryna find an informant but I ain't see nathin'
I'm mindin' my business as God is my witness
No weapon gon' prosper that’s formin' against me
Nigga, I'm starvin', immensely
Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon' miss me
Ja Morant, I'm on my Grizzly
You niggas just cubs but no, not the ones in the big leagues
After The Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigley's
Nigga, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics to profit off
quickly
My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons
Not really the hustler instincts
Therefore, often, my pockets was empty
So while some of my partners was servin' up rocks on the corners
The project assemblies
Me, I was startin' to envy, wanna be on the top where it's plenty
Wanna be in the spot like
Where every bitch want me like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty
What I see in the sky, the 'Ville is the ceilin', can't reach up too
high, evidently
Nah, shit, I can't reach up too high, evidently
Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley
I can't be out here moppin' up Wendys
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)
People you grow up with layin' in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time now, my world, my life, my life
Say what? The stuff
that I've seen got me traumatized
I let the K go when Johnny died
Swangin' that muhfucka' side to side
We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' shit, all we believe in
is homicide
I got a good heart, so I send teddy bears every time we make they mommas
cry
I pray that my past ain't ahead of me (21)
When I'm in love, I love heavily (On God)
If you betray me, you dead to me (21)
I disrespect you respectfully (Straight up)
I got some partners who left this Earth
Maybe the pain made a better me (On God)
Just know that they secrets is kept with them (On God)
I feel like the streets is in debt with me (Straight up)
I gave my heart away to all the dawg hoes
'Cause that's who accepted me (21)
I blame my pops for that shit 'cause if he didn't fail
He could've corrected me (21)
Give all the props to my momma 'cause no matter what
She always protected me (On God)
I promise you, it ain't no checkin' me (On God)
Jump in the water, get wet with me (Straight up, 21, 21)
You want my money or wanna have sex with me?
Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me
I get to answerin', you get to textin' me
I see chicken, you niggas is breast to me
Planted a seed but it ain't a sesame
Can't let you niggas or bitches grow next to me
My life is all I have
My rhymes, my pen, my pad
And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me
What you sayin' now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)
People you grow up with layin' in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain and strife
It's my time now, my world, my life, my life.

Silvestre Revueltas Sánchez (31 de diciembre de
1899-5 de octubre de 1940) fue un compositormexicano de música clásica, violinistay director de orquesta.
Revueltas nació em Santiago Papasquiaroen Durango, y estudió en el Conservatorio Nacionalen la Ciudad de
México, la Universidad
St. Edwarden Austin, Texas, y el Colegio de
Música de Chicago. Dio recitales de violín y en 1929
fue invitado por Carlos Chávezpara
convertirse en director asistente de la Orquesta
Sinfónica Nacional de México, cargo que ocupó hasta 1935.
Él y Chávez hicieron mucho para promover la música mexicana contemporánea. Fue
por esta época cuando Revueltas comenzó a componer en serio. Comenzó su primera
banda sonora cinematográfica, Redes, en
1934, una comisión que resultó en la pelea de Revueltas y Chávez. Chávez
originalmente esperaba escribir la partitura, pero los cambios políticos lo
llevaron a perder su trabajo en el Ministerio de Educación, que estaba detrás del
proyecto cinematográfico. Revueltas dejó la orquesta de Chávez en 1935 para ser
el director principal de una orquesta rival recién creada y de corta duración,
la Orquesta
Sinfónica Nacional.
Pertenecía a uma familia de artistas, algunos de los cuales también eran
famosos y reconocidos en México: su hermano Fermín(1901-1935) y su hermana Consuelo (nacida antes de 1908, fallecida
antes de 1999) eran pintores, hermana Rosaura(ca. 1909) –1996) fue
actriz y bailarina, y su hermano menor José Revueltas(1914–1976)
fue un destacado escritor. Su hija de su primer matrimonio con Jules Klarecy
(de soltera Hlavacek), Romano Carmen (más tarde Montoya y Peers), disfrutó de
una exitosa carrera como bailarina, enseñó ballet y flamencoen Nueva York, y murió el 13 de noviembre
de 1995, a los 73 años, en Atenas, Grecia. Le sobreviven tres hijos y dos
herederas creativas afines en Oceanside, California.Su hija de su segundo
matrimonio, Eugenia (nacida el 15 de noviembre de 1934), es ensayista. Su sobrino Román Revueltas Retes,
hijo de José, es violinista, periodista Y pintor.

como parte de una gira organizada por la organización deLiga de Escritores y Artistas
Revolucionarios (LEAR); tras la victoria de Francisco Franco, regresó a
México. Ganó poco y cayó en la pobreza y el alcoholismo. Murió en la Ciudadde Méxicode neumonía(complicada
por el alcoholismo), a los 40 años el 5 de octubre de 1940, día en que se estrenaba
su ballet El renacuajo paseador, escrito cuatro años antes. Sus restos se

La noche de los mayas es
unabanda sonoradel compositor mexicanoSilvestre Revueltaspara lapelícula de1939del
mismo nombre, que se relaciona conlaherenciaprecolombina deMéxico. La partitura de Revueltas consta de 36 secuencias sin relación
orgánica entre sí, compuestas para adaptarse fácilmente a una película ya
editada. Muchos de estos pasajes consisten en estereotipos de música de
películas convencionales diseñados para subrayar la historia de manera discreta,
en lugar de ofrecer ninguna novedad. Se encuentra una excepción en algunas
escenas de lacultura yucateca.folklore,
donde la música adquiere aspectos del nacionalismo más característicos del
estilo personal de Revueltas. (Estos pasajes fueron reunidos por Limantour en
el segundo movimiento de su suite, titulado "Noche de jaranas".)
Una suitede la
partitura fue grabada por la Orquesta Sinfónica de Jalapa , dirigida por
Luis Herrera de
la Fuente, y publicada por Catalyst Records en 1994.
La versión de
Hindemith fue grabada por la Tempus Fugit Orquesta dirigida por Christian
Gohmer y publicada por Quindecim Records en 2014.
La versión de
José Limantour fue grabada por la Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar, dirigida por Gustavo Dudamely
publicada en Deutsche Grammophon en 2010. Anteriormente, en 1959, Limantour
había grabado él mismo su arreglo, dirigiendo la Orquesta Sinfónica de
Guadalajara. Esto se hizo en la época en que se realizó por primera vez el
arreglo de Limantour.
