This Sunday afternoon, we're bringing Jonathan's weekly radio broadcast to the stage at BAM. Who better to perform than world renowned guitar virtuoso, John Pizzarelli? Hailed by the Boston Globe for "reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz", John Pizzarelli personifies the spirit of The Jonathan Channel. It doesn't hurt that he's a stellar performer, either.

1) Pizzarelli sits down with The Fretboard Journal and unleashes his take on the classic, "I Got Rhythm." Showoff.

2) Mindblowing musicianship is always in season.

3) Ladies and gentleman, John Pizzarelli and vocalist Jane Monheit. We're charmed and you will be too. Promise.

4) The location may change but his stellar guitar playing does not. At #4 is a performance of Pizzarelli w/The Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.

5) Last but not least, we've got John Pizzarelli introducing his latest project, Double Exposure (in stores now).


Irving Berlin: A Sentimental Songwriter

$

Today would have been Irving Berlin’s 127th birthday. He was born Israel Blaine on May 11th 1888 in an unknown location in Eastern Russia.  Israel was one of eight children in a religious Jewish household, which immigrated to the United States in 1893 to escape the religious persecution in Russia brought on by violent pogroms. His father was a ritual slaughter as well as a synagogue cantor, a trait shared by the fathers of Al Jolson, Harold Arlen and Kurt Weill. Like these talents, Berlin did not follow in the footsteps of his father, but he did embrace the musical gift he inherited.

Berlin never learned how to read music and played exclusively in the key of F-sharp, yet he went on to write over 15,000 songs in his short 101 years on earth. Many of those songs have become iconic parts of American pop culture such as “White Christmas,” “God Bless America,” “There’s No Business like Show Business,” and many more!

These songs tell a story of a man who loved his country, his industry, and the freedom he had to celebrate it all. There is a less well-known side to this American icon, one of great love, great loss, and great emotional expression.  

Berlin married Dorothy Goetz, an aspiring twenty-year-old singer and sister of fellow songwriter E. Ray Goetz, in February of 1912. On their honeymoon to Cuba she contracted typhoid fever and passed away five months later.  Berlin published "When I Lost You" in November 1912. This was the first song written after the tragic death of his young bride.  Berlin wrote “And I lost the angel who gave me summer/ the whole winter too/ I lost the gladness that turned into sadness/ When I lost you." He accompanied these words with a simple waltz and a bittersweet harmony. It was Berlin’s first hit ballad and certainly not Berlin’s last.

 “What’ll I Do” was published in March 1924. It was said to be written while Berlin was on vacation in Palm Beach with his former brother-in-law, Ray Goetz. There is no doubt that Berlin was thinking of his wife Dorothy as he wrote the tune, but she was not the only loss in Berlin’s life. His father died when Berlin was the young age of thirteen, and his mother passed away a few years before “What’ll I Do” was written in July of 1922.  Twelve years after “When I Lost You,” Berlin’s newest ballad described a more sophisticated sense of loss and longing; “What'll I do/ With just a photograph/ To tell my troubles to?/ When I'm alone/ With only dreams of you/ That won't come true/ What'll I do?”

What Irving Berlin did do, was find a new love.  Her name was Ellin Mackay, daughter of a successful Telegraph tycoon, who strongly opposed their marriage that took place in January 1926. Though estranged from their families, the couple remained happily married with three daughters until Ellin’s death in 1988.  This love inspired many more Berlin ballads such as “Always” (1925), “Blue Skies” (1927), “How Deep is the Ocean” (1932), “Change Partners” (1938) “They Say It’s Wonderful” (1946), and many more!

Berlin said in 1919: "It is much more difficult for me to write successes now, because people expect so much from me on account of my previous hits." Little did he know how much more he had ahead, more life, love, loss, inspiration, and music.

Michael Feinstein @ The Appel Room (New York, NY) Sinatra coined the phrase “Saloon Song,” to refer to tunes of unrequited love, sadness, and heartbreak.

A Bit of Nostalgia Courtesy of Annie Lennox

Here on the Jonathan Channel, we thought we'd ring in the new year with a bit of Nostalgia (surprise, surprise).

Scottish singer-songwriter, Annie Lennox has provided the perfect soundtrack with her new release (you guessed it), Nostalgia.  This recent release is a departure from her early work with the Eurythmics and even her most recent solo career. Nostalgia is a collection of great American songbook hits interpreted by the pop icon. Seems there is a lot of that going around these days. The album includes songs from great such as: Hoagy Carmichael, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday.

Listen this week to The Jonathan Channel as Lennox takes on well-known American classics like “Georgia on My Mind”, “Mood Indigo” and most notably “Strange Fruit” – every hour on the hour. Stay tuned to hear the album in its entirety.

This session has ended. Follow us on Twitter @soundcheck and we'll let you know when you can stream it on-demand!

The place where Broadway stars go after the stage doors close is getting a new name this holiday season. The cabaret lounge 54 Below is joining forces with jazz and pop vocalist Michael Feinstein, trading on his reputation as the great interpreter of the Great American Songbook. The establishment will now be called Feinstein's/54 Below. It's also where Feinstein will play his holiday show from December 20th to 30th, filled with Christmas classics from years past. But before the star-studded annual event, Mr. Feinstein visits the Soundcheck studio to give us a taste of what the new Feinstein's/54 Below might sound like next week. (Feinstein's/Soundcheck has a ring to it, no?)
