Jonah David
Born:
Jonah David was born in South Orange, New Jersey on October 30, 1977. Both of his parents
had remarkable stories to pass down. His father began his career as an activist lawyer who worked with civil rights leader James Farmer in New Orleans; decades later, he won a landmark New Jersey Supreme Court case on behalf of thousands of shabbily treated tenement dwellers in the state.
David’s mother grew up in Harbin, a flourishing Jewish community in Japanese-occupied China where her Russian grandparents had traveled via the Trans-Siberian Railway to escape the pogroms. Her grandfather got rich operating a soap factory there, but lost everything after China retook its lost territories in the Sino-Japanese War and persecuted the Jews. Unable to get a visa to the United States, the family escaped to Israel, where they lived for a decade before finally making it to America.

Martin Denny
Born:
Martin Denny was an American pianist and composer best known as the "father of exotica."

Denny was born in New York City and raised in Los Angeles. He studied classical piano and toured South America for four and a half years in the 1930s with the Don Dean Orchestra.

CD Release: Aaron Aranita Big Band "Rough Jazz"
Jazz, naturally, has a rich and varied history but it could be argued that it misplaced a little something on its way to becoming a Respected Art Form.
