First see America

The career of one of the most famous composers of the songwriters Cole Porter began on Broadway by a comic opera “First See America!”. Cole Porter wrote dozens of musicals and more than three hundred songs. All of them remain jazz standards and our days.

A cold dank day of the wind from Lake Michigan knocked out tears even from those in a funeral procession who was not familiar with this type of moisture. Relatives and friends of Cole Porter gathered at the cemetery in Peru, Indiana, which is 70 miles from Indianapolis. Cole rarely returned home. Once he rolled to Yale University, he began a musical career on Broadway, and, unlike his colleagues along the Alley of Tin Parsing, he wrote both music and words. World glory transferred him to Paris, where he married Lind Lind Thomas, a rich diluted American and although their marriage was conditional, since Cole was gay, they lived happily and happily between Parisian mansions and salons and the Venetian Palazzo.

Art Pepper - Night and Day - 9:58 (Art Pepper - The Hollywood All -Star Sessions - Galaxy)

“Night and Day”, “Night and Day” from the musical 32 years “The Gay Divorcée”, “Merry Divorced”. Art Papper-alt-saxophone; Pete Jouley - Piano; Bob Magnasson - double bass and Roy McCurdi - drums. February 27, 1980.

On that cold day, the day ended in the cemetery in the pen for the porter Cole and, finally, the night came. Although for this Bonvivan life was constantly, excluding its dramatic fall from a horse, a cheerful alliance with diluted Linda Lee Thomas and sunny in any weather, during the day. Of course, the lyrics of the song itself have nothing in common with my heavy commentary commentary, nourished by the raw winds of Lake Michigan, which is noticeable in my voice.

Connie Evingson - Night and Day - 3:39 (Connie Evingson - Gypsy in My Soul - Minnehaha Music)

“Night and Day”, “At night and day, wherever you are, I think about you ...” Connie Ivingson and Clearwater Hot Club, continuing the traditions of the Parisian Hot Club de France. The Connie Ivingson disc “Gypsy in the shower”.

Cole Porter, like the author who wrote music and words, had only two (or rather three!) Opponents: the brothers Gershvina and Irving Berlin. Cole wrote more than three hundred songs and most of them became jazz standards. We can easily recognize them. “Night and Day” were performed by such different jazzmen as Charlie Parker and Dave Brubek, Don Bayes and Stefan Grappeli, Michelle Petruchiani, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Art Teitum and, the list of giant, Ben Uebster. Most of the porter's songs were hits, like the musicals for whom he wrote them ...

Ella Fitzgerald - Too Darn Hot - 3:47 (Ella Fitzgorald Sings The Cole Porter Songbook - Verve)

“Too Darn Hot”, “damn hot” ... which happens in our area! “I would like to dare with my sweet one, settle down our differences ... But my friend cannot be found, because the city is damn hot!” Ella Fitzgerald and Baddy Braggman's orchestra, 1956 record. This song was written by Cole Porter for the 1948 musical “Kiss Me, Kate!”. The line in the song, hinting at the “Kinsey reports”, that is, on the first monograph on human sexual behavior, is almost a quote from Kinsey Reports, that in strong heat intimate desires lose, say, in strength. Cole Porter literally stuffed his texts with a game of words sending listeners to sexuality. I will not decipher the rest of the traps. If you wish, you will find them yourself.

The most incredible song about the sexual behavior of fish, fleas, Lithuanians and Latvians, birds, Spanish aristocrats, Dutch, Finns, Siamese twins and shells, became the most incredible song. This song has repeatedly sounded in our program. And therefore, we will go to the warm seas:

Artie Shaw - Begin the Beguine - 3:15 (Artie Shaw - Self Portrait - Bluebird)

“Begin the Beguine” is by no means “starting to dance Beigin”, popular, similar to the Foxtrot, dance of the Karaibsk seas. In fact, this is "start flirting." Porter wrote this Cole Porter in 1935 during a cruise on board the Franconia liner somewhere between Kalabachi, Indonesia, and Fiji. Beguines were monastery of the 14th century, who lived in the world without special formal laws. Over time, the word Beguine in the Karaibsky region has become a synonym for a white woman. Of course, here, as elsewhere, Cole Porter is ambiguous, but, without much pressure.

Claret and orchestra art sho. July 13, 1946, Los Angeles.

Diana Krall - from this Moment on - 3:24 (Diana Krall - from this Moment on - Verve)

“From This Moment on”, “Starting from that moment, my dear, we are only a couple drinking tea. From that moment on, the end of sadness (...) Consider that all problems are the end ... ”Diana Kroll on Verve, 2006. Cleiton and Hamilton orchestra.

Cole Porter in his adventures did not leave alone not only Alfred Kinsey, but also Professor Sigmund Freud. By the way, Alfred Kinsey himself could well become a patient of Professor Freud, because he had the habit of exploring his own urethra first a straw for consumption of Coca-Cola, and then a toothbrush. But this is a separate topic. Cole Porter affected the base of the Freudian theory - Oedipus complex - in the most unexpected and frivolous way. This will be the last song of the great playboy on our waves, which are available to you almost everywhere in the territory of the Russian Federation, and, without any straw and toothbrushes, on our website www.svoboda.org .

Marilyn Monroe - My Heart Belongs to Daddy - 5:57 (Marilyn Monroe - The Complete Recordings - Recording Arts)

“My Heart Belongs to Daddy”, “My heart belongs to daddy ...” - of course, Cole Porter. He wrote this song in 1938 for the musical "Leave it to me." Marilyn Monroe with the unknown orchestra.

A curious detail: the first act of the musical begins at the Siberian railway station. The premiere of the musical took place on November 9, 1938 and was played by Mary Martin. The idea of the song is simple, like the theater snowball made of finely chopped paper: the heroine sings that she does not mind daring with one of these lovely inhabitants of the town, but it will not go further, because her heart belongs to her daddy. How the great psychoanist reacted is unknown. Marilyn herself has been on psychoanalysis for years. Among her five psychoanalysts was Freud's daughter Anna. The mistress and President John Kennedy and his brother Robert, Marilyn was found dead on August 5, 1962 at home, in Brentwood, Los Angeles. According to the pathologist - from alcohol abuse and sleeping pills. According to the conspiracy theories - the CIA participated in her death.

This ends the story of the poet-songwriter Cole Porter, who was born in June 1891, and our club moves in July.
