Mary Nelson

Marys interest for jazzmusic came without her even noticing! Very early she had a big interest for old MGM movies from the 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's and the musical scores in them. The same songs that later were rearranged and made in to jazzstandards. In her childhood years, her American father Paul used to play music for her from the American Hollywoodera from artists like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby, combined with Leonard Bernsteins musicals and classical work. He spoke about his years in NYC in the early 50's when he saw the original version/cast of West Side Story on Broadway, heard Martin Luther King speak live at the Apollo Theatre, and everything about the movies, music and the musicals
