paragraph: Bill T. Jones

paragraph: Bill T. Jones (born February 15, 1952) is an American choreographer, director, author and dancer. He is the co-founder of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company. Jones is Artistic Director of New York Live Arts, the company's home in Manhattan, whose activities encompass an annual presenting season together with allied education programming and services for artists. Independently of New York Live Arts and his dance company, Jones has choreographed for major performing arts ensembles, contributed to Broadway and other theatrical productions, and collaborated on projects with a range of fellow artists. Jones has been called "one of the most notable, recognized modern-dance choreographers and directors of our time."

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Bill T. Jones was born in Bunnell, Florida, the tenth of 12 children born to Estella (née Edwards) and Augustus Jones. His parents were migrant farm workers and later worked in factories. In 1955, when Jones was three, the family relocated to Wayland, New York. Jones was a track star in high school and also participated in drama and debate. After his high school graduation in 1970, he began to attend Binghamton University via a special admissions program for underprivileged students. At Binghamton, he shifted his focus to dance. In an interview, Jones noted: "[Binghamton] was where I first took classes in west African and African-Caribbean dancing. Soon I started skipping track practice to go to those classes. It immediately appealed to me. It was an environment that was not about competition." Jones's dance studies at Binghamton also encompassed ballet and modern dance.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early years.

paragraph: During his 1971 freshman year at Binghamton, Jones met and fell in love with Arnie Zane, a 1966 graduate of the university who was living in the area honing his skills as a photographer. The personal connection they forged evolved into a personal and professional relationship that lasted until Zane's death from AIDS in 1988 About a year after meeting, the pair spent a year in Amsterdam. On returning, Jones and Zane connected with dancer Lois Welk, who introduced them to contact improvisation, an emerging dance technique popularized by Steve Paxton that emphasizes intertwining partnering and shifts of weight and balance between partners. With Welk and another dancer, Jill Becker, they formed American Dance Asylum (ADA) in 1974. ADA was organized as a collective and performed nationally and internationally while also offering classes and presenting performances at its space in Binghamton. While the members of ADA generally choreographed their own works, they used a collaborative development process in which each member informed the activities of the others. Jones created a number of solo pieces during this period and was invited to present in New York City beginning in 1976, performing at The Kitchen, Dance Theater Workshop, and the Clark Center, among other venues.

paragraph: Jones's works during this period, such as "Floating the Tongue" (1979) and "Everybody Works/All Beasts Count" (1975), combined his elegant style of movement with spoken passages that explored and improvised on his reactions and memories evoked by the dancing, ranging from episodes in his life to digressions on social issues. Dance historian Susan Foster has characterized these works as using "the resonances between movement and speech to show the very mechanics of meaning-making and to deepen viewers' perceptions of the number of ways a movement can mean."

paragraph: In 1979, Jones and Zane felt that their collaboration with Welk and Becker had reached its conclusion. They were also interested in living in an area more supportive of both the art they were making and their identity as an interracial gay couple. They moved to the New York area in late 1979, settling in Rockland County, where they soon bought a house.

paragraph: The physical contrast between Jones (tall, Black, gracefully athletic) and Zane (short, White, sharply moving), together with contact improvisation techniques of intertwining and lifting formed the basis of many of the pair's dances during this period. The works they created together fused Jones's interest in movement and speech with Zane's visual sensibility rooted in his work as a photographer. Their duets featured film projections, stop-and-go movement and framing drawn from still photography, singing, and spoken dialogue. At the forefront of their works was their political and social focus, and the unusual—for the period—pairing of two male dancers and a frank acknowledgement of their personal relationship. A trilogy of duets the pair created during this time, consisting of "Blauvelt Mountain" (1980), "Monkey Run Road" (1979) and "Valley Cottage" (1981) firmly established their reputations as important new choreographers.

paragraph: In 1982, Jones and Zane formed the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company.:"Still/Here" controversy.

paragraph: Jones's "Still/Here" (1994) is an evening-length work exploring the experience of receiving and living with a life-threatening medical diagnosis, rooted in Jones’s responses to being diagnosed HIV-positive. It features a video score by artist Gretchen Bender based on excerpts from interviews with people who had received such diagnoses, together with a commissioned musical score, spoken text and movement. "Still/Here" was well received on its 1994 international tour. "Newsweek" called it "a work so original and profound that its place among the landmarks of 20th-century dance seems ensured." In late 1994, Arlene Croce, a leading dance critic of the period, published an article in the "New Yorker" saying she would not see or review "Still/Here". Croce called the piece "victim art" and observed: "By working dying people into his act, Jones is putting himself beyond the reach of criticism... Jones has crossed the line between theatre and reality—he thinks that victimhood in and of itself is sufficient to the creation of an art spectacle." Croce also stated that works like "Still/Here" were the result of trends in foundation and public funding for the arts that favored social relevance over intrinsic quality.

paragraph: Croce's essay generated considerable discussion, pro and con. The next issue of the "New Yorker" (January 30, 1995) featured four pages of letters about the article from prominent cultural figures such as Robert Brustein, bell hooks, Hilton Kramer, Camille Paglia and Tony Kushner. In dissent, critic bell hooks observed, "To write so contemptuously about a work one has not seen is an awesome flaunting of privilege—a testimony to the reality that there is no marginalized group or individual powerful enough to silence or suppress reactionary voices. Ms. Croce's article is not courageous or daring, precisely because it merely mirrors the ruling political mood of our time."

paragraph: The debate broadened to the national press. Author Joyce Carol Oates noted in "The New York Times": "As with the Mapplethorpe obscenity trial of several years ago, the article has raised crucial questions about esthetics and morality, about the role of politics in art and about the role of the professional critic in assessing art that integrates 'real' people and events in an esthetic framework." In the magazine "Commentary", Terry Teachout expressed his sense that the conflict arose from Croce's arguing for the idea of "art for art's sake" in a time of highly political art. The coverage brought Jones to wider attention. In 2016, "Newsweek" wrote, "Jones is probably best known outside of dance circles for his 1994 work "Still/Here"."

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Other collaborators.

paragraph: Creating more than 100 works for his own company, Jones has also choreographed for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, AXIS Dance Company, Boston Ballet, Lyon Opera Ballet, Berlin Opera Ballet and Diversions Dance Company, among others. In 1995, Jones directed and performed in a collaborative work with Toni Morrison and Max Roach, Degga, at Alice Tully Hall, commissioned by Lincoln Center’s "Serious Fun" Festival. His collaboration with Jessye Norman, "How! Do! We! Do!", premiered at New York’s City Center in 1999.

paragraph: In 1989, Bill T. Jones choreographed "D-Man in the Waters". The AIDS epidemic was at an all-time high and the arts community was being greatly affected by it. After the death of company member, Demian Acquavella, Bill T. Jones decided to choreograph this piece in his honor. He raised awareness about the horrors of the disease by highlighting Acquavella's absence in the piece. The piece feature a lot of lifting to symbolize the unity that Bill T. Jones wanted to achieve as a society. Men lifting men, women lifting women, and women lifting men. "D-Man in the Waters" is a beautiful and moving piece of art that uses movement and lack thereof to portray the horrors of the AIDS epidemic, the loss of those affected by it, and the desperation to come together and find a solution.

paragraph: In 1990, Jones choreographed Sir Michael Tippett’s "New Year" under the direction of Sir Peter Hall for the Houston Grand Opera and the Glyndebourne Opera Festival. He conceived, co-directed and choreographed "Mother of Three Sons", which was performed at the Munich Biennale, New York City Opera, and the Houston Grand Opera. He also directed "Lost in the Stars" for the Boston Lyric Opera. Jones’ theater involvement includes co-directing "Perfect Courage" with his sister and prolific performance artist, Rhodessa Jones for Festival 2000, in 1990. In 1994, he directed Derek Walcott’s "Dream on Monkey Mountain" for The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, MN.

paragraph: Jones also collaborated with artist Keith Haring in 1982 to create a series of both performance and visual arts together.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Broadway and off-Broadway.

paragraph: In 2005, Jones choreographed the New York Theatre Workshop production of "The Seven", a musical by Will Power based on "Seven Against Thebes" by the classical Greek playwright Aeschylus. "The Seven" transposed the original work to a modern urban setting and employed a range of musical styles to create what one reviewer called, "a strange new hybrid: a hip-hop musical comedy-tragedy." The play was recognized with three Off-Broadway Lucille Lortel Awards, including Outstanding Choreography, given to Jones.

paragraph: Jones was choreographer for the Broadway premiere of the 2006 rock musical "Spring Awakening", developed by composer Duncan Sheik and lyricist Steven Sater, and directed by Michael Mayer. The play is based on an 1891 German work that explores the tumult of teenage sexuality. "Spring Awakening" was widely acclaimed at its premiere and later won eight 2007 Tony Awards, in addition to a range of other recognitions. Jones was recipient of the 2007 Tony Award for Best Choreography.

paragraph: Jones is co-creator, director and choreographer of the musical "Fela!", which ran off-Broadway in 2008 and opened on Broadway in 2009. Jones's collaborators on the project were Jim Lewis and Stephen Hendel. The play is based on events in the life of Nigerian musician and activist Fela Kuti and is inspired by "Fela: This Bitch of a Life", a 1982 authorized biography of Kuti by Carlos Moore. The Broadway presentation won three Tony Awards, including Best Choreography.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Jones is married to Bjorn Amelan, a French national who was raised in Haifa, Israel and several countries in Europe. The two have been together since 1993. Amelan was the romantic and business partner of noted fashion designer Patrick Kelly from 1983 until Kelly’s death from AIDS complications in 1990. In addition to pursuing his own work as a visual artist, Amelan is Creative Director of the Bill T. Jones Arnie/Zane Dance Company and has designed many of the company’s sets since the mid-1990s. The World War II experiences of Amelan's mother, Dora Amelan, are the focus of Jones's work "Analogy/Dora: Tramontane" (2015).

paragraph: Jones and Amelan live in Rockland County, New York, just north of New York City, in a house purchased in 1980 by Jones and Arnie Zane. Despite Jones’s long association with New York's performing arts and cultural life, he has never resided in the city.

paragraph: One of Jones’s sisters, Rhodessa Jones, is a noted San Francisco performance artist, prison-arts educator and Co-Artistic Director of the performance ensemble Cultural Odyssey. Jones’s nephew, Lance Briggs, is the subject of two works performed by the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, "Analogy/Lance" (2016) and "Letter to My Nephew" (2017). Both explore the trajectory of Briggs's life, which descended from promise as a dancer, model and songwriter to involvement with drugs and prostitution, an AIDS diagnosis and becoming paraplegic.

paragraph: Al Bumbry

paragraph: Alonza Benjamin "Al" Bumbry (born Alonza Benjamin Bumbrey; April 21, 1947) is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder who played for the Baltimore Orioles and San Diego Padres from 1972 through 1985. Bumbry was the 1973 American League Rookie of the Year, and went on to be an All-Star and World Series champion. He is an inductee of the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame and the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. Prior to his major league career, Bumbry served in the US Army during the Vietnam War and was awarded a Bronze Star.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Bumbry was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and graduated from Ralph Bunche High School in King George, Virginia. He attended Virginia State College on a basketball scholarship, which he played for four years. While Bumbry was at Virginia State, the school restarted its baseball program; Bumbry played during his final year, batted .578, and was named the team's Most Outstanding Player. Bumbry was in ROTC at Virginia State, obligating him to serve for two years in the US military. Bumbry served in the United States Army and led a platoon during the Vietnam War, receiving the Bronze Star Medal.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Path to the majors.

paragraph: Bumbry was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 11th round of the 1968 Major League Baseball draft. He started his professional career in 1969 for the Stockton Ports of the Class A California League, where he appeared in 35 games, batting .178 with 3 runs batted in (RBIs) and 10 stolen bases. To fulfill his military service obligation, Bumbry served in the US Army from July 1969 to June 1971, as a platoon leader during the Vietnam War. After his military service completed in 1971, Bumbry appeared in 66 games for the Aberdeen Pheasants of the Class A Northern League, where he batted .336 with 53 RBIs, 6 home runs, and 34 stolen bases. In 1972, Bumbry appeared with two minor league teams; the Asheville Orioles of the Class AA Southern League, and the Rochester Red Wings of the Class AAA International League. He appeared in 134 total games for those teams, batting .345 with 57 RBIs, 10 home runs, and 32 stolen bases.

paragraph: Bumbry appeared in 9 games for the Orioles late in the season. His first MLB appearance came on September 5, as a pinch hitter against the New York Yankees; he flied out to center field. After several other pinch hitting and pinch running appearances, Bumbry collected his first hit on October 3, a single against Dick Tidrow of the Cleveland Indians. Bumbry finished the season batting 4-for-11 (.364) with 5 runs scored.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Baltimore Orioles.:1973 Rookie of the Year.

paragraph: For the season, Bumbry appeared mostly as a pinch runner during the first month of the season. In May he began to play more, usually batting as the leadoff hitter, then in June he appeared in all but one game the team played, as he was hitting well. At the All-Star break in July he had a .304 average, at the end of August he was batting .312, and he finished the season with a .337 average, and had 34 RBIs, 73 runs scored, 23 stolen bases, and 7 home runs. He also had a league-leading 11 triples, including three on September 22 against the Milwaukee Brewers, tying both the American League (AL) and MLB records for most triples in a single game.

The Orioles won the AL East division, but lost to the Oakland Athletics in the ALCS. Bumbry played left field in the third and fifth game of the series; he had a walk in each game, but was hitless in seven at bats. Bumbry was named the AL Rookie of the Year, receiving 13 of 23 first place votes.

paragraph: Bumbry did not hit well in – he was batting below .200 as late as July 3, and finished the season with a .233 average, 19 RBIs, 35 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, and 1 home run. Defensively he started 65 games in left field, and had a .953 fielding average. The Orioles again won the AL East, and again lost to the Oakland Athletics in the ALCS. Bumbry made one appearance as a pinch runner, and struck out in one appearance as a pinch hitter. Over the next three seasons, Bumbry batted .269 (), .251 (), and .317 (), as the Orioles finished in second place in the AL East each year. In , Bumbry broke his leg on a slide into second base during a game against the Texas Rangers on May 12. He missed over 100 games before returning to play five games in September – for the season he only appeared in 33 games, and had a .237 average.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Baltimore Orioles.:1979 World Series.

paragraph: The Orioles won the AL East, and Bumbry batted .285 with 49 RBIs, 80 runs scored, 37 stolen bases, and 7 home runs. Defensively, he started 127 games in the outfield (all but one in center field) and had a .984 fielding percentage. In the ALCS the Orioles defeated the then California Angels in four games – Bumbry was the center fielder in each game, and batted 4-for-16 (.250) in the series. The 1979 World Series went the full seven games, with the Orioles losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates despite leading the series 3–1, as the Pirates won the final three games. Bumbry appeared in center field in all seven games – four as a starter, and entering as a pinch hitter in the other three – for the series he batted .143 (3-for-21).

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Baltimore Orioles.:1980 All-Star season.

In the ALCS the Orioles defeated the Chicago White Sox in four games. Bumbry was the starting center fielder in the first and third games, and he pinch ran in the fourth game – overall he batted 1-for-8 (.125). In the 1983 World Series the Orioles defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in five games, for their first championship since 1970.

paragraph: Gilles Marchal

paragraph: Gilles Marchal (2 September 1944 – 11 April 2013), born Gilles Pastre, was a French songwriter and singer who reached the height of his career during the 1970s.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Discovered by Georges Chatelain, his producer, who signed (with Jack Robinson as a co-producer) a contract with "Disc' AZ" and Lucien Morisse, who was then the program director at Europe 1. Most of his repertoire was original, but at the beginning of his career he performed a few interesting covers of songs by Lee Hazlewood and Fred Neil. "Summer Wine", for example, which Lee Hazlewood originally sang with Nancy Sinatra, was covered by Marchal in 1969 in a duet with Martine Habib, a young singer whom he met at CBE Studios and whose voice is reminiscent of Joan Baez. Marchal also chose to interpret the song in English; a French translation appeared this same year ("Le vin de l'été" by Marie Laforêt and Gérard Klein). One of Marchal's greater successes, "Un étranger dans la ville", is a version of "Everybody's Talkin'" by Fred Neil. (Harry Nilsson sang the original version for the credits of John Schlesinger's film "Midnight Cowboy".)

paragraph: Marchal also sang "Je suis né sous une étoile filante" (a Lerner and Loewe song translated to French by Mr. Vidalin) and "Buddy River" (a Lee Hazlewood song translated by Vline Buggy and Yves Dessca). The success of these two singles during the summer of 1970 propelled Marchal to the front of the French music scene and to first place in the hit parade. In 1971, "Liberté" by Charles Orieux and Jean-max Riviere was also an immense success for him reaching No.5 in the French charts on 25 March 1972.

paragraph: Marchal has written several songs, both solo ("Nous vivrons tous les trois", "Ne pleure pas ma mie") or with his friends and producers at CBE, George Chatelain and Bernard Estardy ("Dieu qu'elle était belle", "Quand je te regarde vivre").

paragraph: In the 1970s and 1980s, Marchal continued to record. Little by little, he gave up his "cowboy" persona in favor of the "new man". In homage to the Paris area, he sang the anthem "Les prénoms de l'Ile de France" (words by Claude Lemesle) in 1977. The following year, he released an album at Sonopresse containing his own words and music. Songs such as "Drôle de vie" were a great success both in France and abroad, as well as "C'était en France" and lighter songs like "Miss Pharmago" and "C'est pas la Chine". In 1985, Marchal recorded a 45 of "Celine" (by Vline Buggy, Hugues Aufray and Mort Shuman); the B side featured "Les maisons sans visage", with music by Marchal and lyrics by Vline Buggy.

paragraph: Gilles Marchal retired from show business in 1985. He died on 11 April 2013.

paragraph: Toots Thielemans

paragraph: Jean-Baptiste Frédéric Isidor, Baron Thielemans (29 April 1922 – 22 August 2016), known professionally as Toots Thielemans, was a Belgian jazz musician. He was known for his harmonica playing, as well as his guitar, whistling skills, and composing. According to jazz historian Ted Gioia, his most important contribution was in "championing the humble harmonica", which Thielemans made into a "legitimate voice in jazz". He eventually became the "preeminent" jazz harmonica player.

paragraph: His first professional performances were with Benny Goodman's band when they toured Europe in 1949 and 1950. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1951, becoming a citizen in 1957. From 1953 to 1959 he played with George Shearing, and then led his own groups on tours in the U.S. and Europe. In 1961 he recorded and performed live one of his own compositions, "Bluesette", which featured him playing guitar and whistling. In the 1970s and 1980s, he continued touring and recording, appearing with musicians such as Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Werner, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Elis Regina and Paquito D'Rivera.

paragraph: Among the film soundtracks that Thielemans recorded are "The Pawnbroker" (1964), "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), "Cinderella Liberty" (1973), "The Sugarland Express" (1974) and "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (1977). His harmonica theme song for the popular "Sesame Street" TV show was heard for 40 years. He often performed and recorded with Quincy Jones, who once called him "one of the greatest musicians of our time." In 2009 he was designated a Jazz Master by The National Endowment for the Arts, the highest honor for a jazz musician in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Thielemans was born in Brussels, Belgium, on 29 April 1922. His parents owned a cafe. He began playing music at an early age, using a homemade accordion at age three. During the German occupation of Belgium beginning in 1940, he became attracted to jazz, but was then playing on full-size accordion or a harmonica, which he taught himself to play in his teens.

paragraph: After being introduced to the music of Belgian-born jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt, he became inspired to teach himself guitar, which he did by listening to Reinhardt's recordings. At the time he was a college student majoring in math. By the war's end in 1945, he considered himself a full-time musician. He said in 1950, "Django is still one of my main influences, I think, for lyricism. He can make me cry when I hear him." During an interview in 1988, he recalled, "I guess I was born at the right time to live and adapt and be touched by the evolution in the jazz language."

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1949 he joined a jam session in Paris with Sidney Bechet, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Max Roach and others. He first heard the faster bebop style of jazz from records by Parker and Dizzy Gillespie after they had reached Belgium after the war. They became his musical "prophets." As his small collection of jazz records grew, the music of Benny Goodman and Lester Young began to impress him the most.

paragraph: During a visit to the U.S. in 1948, an agent of Benny Goodman heard him play at a small New York music club. Not long after he returned to his home in Belgium, he received a letter inviting him to join Goodman's band while they toured in Europe, which he readily accepted and joined their tours in 1949 and 1950. During the tour, Goodman was "shocked" when he learned that these tours were the first time Thielemans had earned money from his playing. Although Thielemans was hired on as a guitarist, when Goodman's group debuted at the London Palladium, he played the harmonica due to union restrictions.

paragraph: During those years, he also made his first record with fellow band member, tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims. In 1951 he toured with singer-songwriter and compatriot Bobbejaan Schoepen, performing strictly as a guitarist.

paragraph: Thielemans moved to the United States in 1952 where he was a member of Charlie Parker's All-Stars and worked with Miles Davis and Dinah Washington. In 1957 he became a U.S. citizen. From 1953 to 1959 he played guitar and harmonica with the George Shearing Quintet. With Shearing, he added whistling to his repertoire. While playing in Hamburg in 1960 on tour with Shearing, a young musician and observer —John Lennon— noticed that Thielemans played a Rickenbacker guitar. Lennon was impressed, and felt he had to have an American guitar, on the principle that "if was good enough for Thielemans it was good enough for me." Lennon and the Beatles helped make Rickenbacker world-famous.

paragraph: In 1955, Thielmans he recorded his first album as a band leader, "The Sound." During the 1950s, Thielemans had dominated the "miscellaneous instrument" category in "Down Beat" magazine's poll. Jerry Murad, of Jerry Murad's Harmonicats recalls Thielemans' mastery:

paragraph: From 1959 on he toured internationally with his small group along with intermittently recording in the studio. He recorded with singers and musicians including Ella Fitzgerald, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Stephane Grappelli, J.J. Johnson, Oscar Peterson, Shirley Horn, Joe Pass, and jazz pianist Bill Evans, among others. Thielemans says that his recording with Evans's trio, "Affinity," (1979) was one of his favorites.

paragraph: Toots Thielemans wrote "Bluesette," a jazz standerd, which he performed on harmonica or while playing the guitar and whistling in unison. He said, "If there's a piece of music that describes me, it's that song." First recorded by him in 1962, with lyrics added by Norman Gimbel, the song became a major worldwide hit. It has since been covered by over one hundred artists. Toots also wrote the ballad "Lady Fingers," which appeared on Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's album "Whipped Cream and Other Delights."

paragraph: He worked both as a bandleader and as a sideman, including many projects with composer/arranger Quincy Jones. In the 1960s he performed on television with Peggy Lee. In 1969 he recorded "Honeysuckle Rose Aquarela Do Brasil" with singer Elis Regina and performed with her on Swedish television special.

paragraph: During his career he performed on many film soundtracks, such as "The Pawnbroker" (1964), "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), "The Getaway" (1972), "Turkish Delight" (1973), "Cinderella Liberty" (1973), "The Sugarland Express" (1974), "The Yakuza" (1974), "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (1977), "The Wiz" (1978), "Jean de Florette" (1986), and "French Kiss" (1995). His theme to the popular "Sesame Street" television show was heard for 40 years.

paragraph: His music was heard on the Belgian television series "Witse," and in the Netherlands, for the "Baantjer" program. He composed the music for the 1974 Swedish film "Dunderklumpen!," in which he also provided the voice of the animated character Pellegnillot. His whistling and harmonica playing was heard on Old Spice commercials in the 1960s. He played harmonica on "Night Game" on Paul Simon's 1975 album "Still Crazy After All These Years".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:1980s and later.

paragraph: During the early 1980s Thielemans was a guest a number of times on "Late Night with David Letterman." He has performed with the bassist Jaco Pastorius, and in 1983 he contributed to Billy Joel's album "An Innocent Man," in the song, "Leave A Tender Moment Alone." (The two later collaborated on this selection in concert, and this was recorded on video.) A year later, he appeared on the Julian Lennon song "Too Late for Goodbyes" from the album "Valotte."

paragraph: In 1984, he recorded with Billy Eckstine on the singer's final album ("I Am a Singer"), featuring ballads and standards arranged and conducted by Angelo DiPippo. In the 1990s, Thielemans embarked on theme projects that included world music. In 1998 he released a French-flavoured album titled "Chez Toots" featuring guest singer Johnny Mathis.

paragraph: During those years, he often recorded songs as personal tributes to those who were influential during his career. On "Chez Toots", for example, he included "Dance For Victor," which he dedicated to his sometimes keyboard accompanist, Victor Feldman. Similarly, he recorded "Waltz for Sonny" as a tribute to saxophonist Sonny Rollins. In June 1998, at Germany's Jazzbaltica, he paid tribute to Frank Sinatra who died a month earlier. And during the first Caspian Jazz and Blues Festival in Azerbaijan in 2002, he performed his recorded version of "Imagine," his tribute to its writer, John Lennon.

paragraph: Thielemans was well liked for his modesty and kind demeanor in his native Belgium, and was known for describing himself as a Brussels ""ket,"" which means "street kid" in old Brussels slang.

paragraph: Section::::Honours and awards.

paragraph: Thielemans received a joint honorary doctorate from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium.

Her father, Jean-Paul Bourelly, is a notable guitarist and her late mother was the head of the Art Department at Berlin's House of the World’s Cultures. Because her father was a professional musician, Bourelly often attended concerts and wrote songs as young as age four. Her mother died when Bourelly was six years old. She first went on tour with her father when she was 11. She attended Blake High School in Maryland until the 12th grade. Bourelly states she has German and American citizenship.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: While still living in Maryland, Bourelly began working with producer, Paperboy Fabe. He would later arrange for her to have a session with Kanye West in Los Angeles. That session ultimately produced Rihanna's "Higher", which Bourelly wrote in about 30 minutes. Around the same time, Rihanna heard another of Bourelly's written songs, "Bitch Better Have My Money", and decided to make it the lead single off her 2016 album, "Anti".

paragraph: In April 2015, Bourelly released her first single, "Riot", a song that discusses Bourelly's wish to be recognized as an "authentic" and legitimate musician. In July 2015, she was featured on Lil Wayne's "Without You", which appeared on his "Free Weezy Album". A month later, she was featured in (and co-wrote) Nick Brewer's "Talk to Me."

She performed the latter song with Usher and Nas at the TIDAL X Concert in October 2015.

paragraph: In October 2015, Bourelly released another single entitled, "Ego." The song made it onto the Spotify Viral Charts for several nations, peaking at #2 in the US, #8 in the UK, and #4 on the overall global charts. The song has been described as a "powerful, unapologetic ballad to self confidence." The music video for "Ego" was filmed in Bourelly's hometown of Berlin and was directed by Branwen Okpako.

paragraph: In March 2016, the third single, "Sally" was released accompanied by an interactive video. She made her television debut on the NBC Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. In the summer of 2016, Bourelly toured with Haim and Rihanna prior to going on her solo "Free The Real" tour in North America. She was also featured in the well-known Women Who Dare campaign by Harper's Bazaar alongside Hillary Clinton, Iskra Lawrence, and Uma Thurman.

paragraph: Atli Ingólfsson

paragraph: Atli Ingólfsson (born 1962) is a composer. His works have been performed in new music festivals across Europe and occasionally overseas. His oeuvre comprises a big range of different works, from solo to orchestral to music theatre. Of his chamber works, the most widely performed might be "Object of Terror" for chamber group (Ed. Ricordi, Milan), present on his profile CD "Enter," issued by BIS in Stockholm in 2005

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: He was born in Njarðvík, Iceland where he completed his studies in classical guitar, composition and philosophy before proceeding his composition studies in Italy (Milan Conservatory) and France, finally studying privately with Gérard Grisey.

paragraph: Section::::Career as composer.

paragraph: After living in Italy from 1990 to 2005 he returned to Iceland where he presently teaches composition at the Iceland Academy of the Arts. In recent years, Atli has composed three music theatre works which have been staged by Cinnober Theater in Gothenburg, directed by Svante Aulis Löwenborg. These are: "Suzannah" (on a text by Jon Fosse), 2005, "Play Alter Native" (text by Finn Iunker), 2011, and "Njals saga" (text by Ludvig Uhlbors), 2015. "His music has been widely performed at European festivals and concert seasons by groups such as Ensemble InterContemporain, Avanti, the Arditti Quartet, Ensemble L'Itinéraire and the Caput Ensemble. He has also published a book of poetry, and has written on the development of Icelandic prosody from a musical perspective.

paragraph: His output consists almost entirely of instrumental works, characterized by a brilliant, colorful musical sound. Several of his works reflect his interest in prosody, and rhythm and metrics may be said to occupy a central role in many of them (A verso, Le pas, les pentes, Envoi, La métrique du cri). In his recent work he has increasingly explored the point of contact between timbre, harmony and rhythm, which in his first String Quartet (HZH) leads to a constant dissolution between prevalently timbral, harmonic, or rhythmic situations, all of them issued from the same structural matrix."

paragraph: Section::::Published works.

paragraph: Atli has authored several articles and essays on metrics, music and music theatre and published a method in traditional harmony, Hljómamál.

In 1886, he qualified as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh gaining the gold medal for merit, achieving the highest pass in the examination.

paragraph: After having been a ship's doctor for some time, he arrived in Maryborough, Queensland around 1879 and set up a private practice. In 1884 he was appointed the resident surgeon at the Maryborough General Hospital, remaining there until 1902.

paragraph: Samuel Morris (soldier)

paragraph: Samuel Morris (June 24, 1734 – July 7, 1812) was an American soldier in the American Revolutionary War. He is the patriarch of one of Philadelphia's most prominent families.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Samuel Morris was born in Philadelphia, Province of Pennsylvania. He was the son of Anthony Morris (14 Feb 1705/06–2 Oct 1780) and the former Sarah Powell (29 Jun 1713–10 Apr 1751). His grandfather was Anthony Morris (II).

paragraph: He served several terms in the legislature, and married Rebecca Wistar, daughter of Caspar Wistar (the elder).

paragraph: In 1776, he was elected "governor" of the social club known as "The State in Schuylkill," and re-elected annually until his death. He was also a founder and president for many years of the "Gloucester fox-hunting club." When the first troop of Philadelphia city cavalry was organized, no fewer than twenty-two members of the club were enrolled in its ranks.

paragraph: With Morris as its captain (because the first captain chosen, Abraham Markoe, was forbidden to fight because of his Danish citizenship), the troop reported for duty in the Continental Army and served through the campaign of 1776–77, seeing action in the battles of Trenton and Princeton, in which latter engagement Samuel's brother, Anthony, ensign of the troop, was killed. On temporarily relieving the command from duty in January, 1777, Washington returned his "most sincere thanks to the captain," and added that, although the troop was "composed of gentlemen of fortune," its members had "shown a noble example of discipline and subordination." For thus taking part in the Revolution, Captain Morris was disowned by the Quakers, but he continued until his death to wear the dress and use the language of that sect, worshiping with them regularly.

paragraph: Morris died in Philadelphia, July 7, 1812.

paragraph: Section::::Children.

paragraph: Samuel and Rebecca Morris had ten children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Samuel Morris (Bef. 1758, Philadelphia – Bef. 1775, Philadelphia; less than 17 years) he did not marry.

paragraph: Emma of Mělník

paragraph: Emma (Hemma) (bef. 950 – 1005/06) was a Bohemian duchess consort as the second wife of Boleslaus II of Bohemia.

paragraph: Her origins are uncertain. Historian Gelasius Dobner (1719–90) thought she was a princess of Burgundy, and this theory has been recently respected. The latest research of historians and numismatists, however, indicate that she was of Italian-Burgundian origin and have identified with Queen Emma of France (Emma of Italy), widow of King Lothair of France (d. 986). She became the second wife of Boleslaus II about the year 989 and died either in 1005 or 1006. It was traditionally supposed by Czech historians that Emma was the mother of Boleslaus' younger sons Oldřich and Jaromír and that the mother of the oldest son, Boleslaus III of Bohemia, was Adiva, the first wife of Boleslaus II.

paragraph: Afraid of Boleslaus III, Emma chose to go into exile at the court of Bavaria in 1001 together with Dukes of Bohemia Oldřich and Jaromir. The brothers sought military backing from the German King Henry II, definitively placing Bohemia within the jurisdiction of the Holy Roman Empire.

paragraph: In 1004, Jaromír occupied Prague with a German army and made himself Duke. Emma came back to Bohemia, likely living in the town of Mělník, where she died.

paragraph: Evidencing her existence are denar coins with the inscription ENMA REGINA ("Queen Emma", not Duchess).
