Dear Steve,
I wonder how many on the DJML bothered to read your post enclosing the April
30, 2004 NY TIMES article CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK by JEREMY EICHLER. 'Music
Silenced by the Nazis Finds Its Voice'.
If not, then they missed an OKOM reference:
> Schulhoff's Dada phase was temporary, but the more enduring influence
from that period was American jazz, which the composer first heard on
recordings owned by the painter George Grosz. He quickly integrated jazz
into many of his own compositions, including his Suite for Chamber Orchestra
of 1921..........<
Mr George Grosz (a major figure in his own right) was the father of the
eminent jazz guitar playing raconteur, so beloved of NY audiences and jazz
enthusiasts world-wide.
Others, more informed than I, may wish to comment.
Kind regards,
Bill.
