"Satchmo Swings in Congo" and More
A very brief newsreel from October 31, 1960--narrated by the once-ubiquitous Ed Herlihy--showing us the exultant reception Louis Armstrong received on his African tour. Unfortunately, the music that would have accompanied a few seconds of this newsreel has been removed (perhaps it was difficult to record a soundtrack for Louis being carried through the streets?) and ...

Andrea Fultz: The German Projekt German Songs from the Twenties and Thirties
by Andrew Velez
Since its origins in the turbulent 1920s-'30s, and with the occasional exception of a vocalist-cum-chanteuse like Ute Lemper, the authoritative renditions by Marlene Dietrich and Lotte Lenya have pretty much held title to this music, which might be called the Great German Songbook. Which makes it all the more impressive that Munich-born Andrea Fultz, who has ...
