Thank you @analgesicsleep 🤗🤗🤗🤗 #SymSat That was a unique and enjoyable program of jazz - was also great to spend some time with Leonard Bernstein and the NY Philharmonic, and learn some things!

Have a great week folks! 🎶💐🤗💕

Thanks for tuning in and for indulging my love of Jazz! I’ll have more Jazz later this month on #BaroqueSun and on #RetroView.. Enjoy the rest of your night/get some sleep if you’re headed that way, #SymSat friends! See y’all later💕

I liked the Copland piece - very different from, say, Rodeo or Billy the Kid. And it was from the 1920s! Must have sounded very experimental back then!

@otheorange_tag If I recall correctly, the first woman (Orrin O”Brien- a double bassist!) didn’t join the New York Philharmonic until a few years after this aired 💔 There’s a Netflix documentary about her!

Having spend his teens playing in Jazz bands and listening to Jazz performances & records, Bernstein (controversially) believed that Jazz was an essential component of American Music. His 1956 CBS Omnibus collection/lecture “What is Jazz” (available for free here: https://youtu.be/To5AcmNCHpg?si=31veOWlwViRl0HFG) was a major turning point in getting a lot of people to appreciate Jazz as an art form
