The time is ripe for the return of Ulysses.
In determining his life’s course, Ulysses Kay (1917-1995), received encouragement from his uncle, King Oliver, and William Grant Still. Among his teachers were Howard Hanson, Paul Hindemith, and Otto Luening. He also attended the American Academy in Rome.
A longtime resident of Teaneck, NJ, he composed music in all genres. This week on “The Lost Chord,” we’ll sample “Tromba” for trumpet and piano, his Concerto for Orchestra, a suite from the semi-documentary “The Quiet One,” and “Six Dances for String Orchestra.”
I hope you’ll join me for “Giving Kay His Say.” Ulysses strings his bow, on “The Lost Chord,” now in syndication on KWAX Classical Oregon!

Kile Smith Recently watched a number of Jack Benny reruns, with Luckys everywhere. Luckys commercials. Luckys namedrops. Entire sketches built around Luckys. Humphrey Bogart even sings the jingle in one of them. Don’t forget… it’s toasted!

Classic Ross Amico “It’s toasted” – Mad Men at its best. No matter when the line was created.

Modeling/Endorsements are a great source of extra income. How to make musicians more fashionable to advertisers?

An interviewer once asked Philip Glass if he did, in fact, drink Cutty Sark. His response: “Of course not!”
