Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown - September Song
👇 🎼 👇
"September Song" is an American pop standard composed by Kurt Weill, with lyric by Maxwell Anderson, introduced by Walter Huston in the 1938 Broadway musical Knickerbocker Holiday. It has since been recorded by numerous singers and instrumentalists. It was also used in the 1950 film September Affair, and for the credits in the television series May to December (a quote from the opening line of the song).
Although the song was written as an old man's lament for the passing of his youth, some of the most famous versions have been recorded by women artists.
Thus Sarah Vaughan's version of 1955, and Ella Fitzgerald's with pianist Paul Smith on the 1960 Verve release Ella Fitzgerald Sings Songs From Let No Man Write My Epitaph are both regarded as Jazz classics. Eartha Kitt and Weill's wife Lotte Lenya both recorded the song in 1957, and Jo Stafford, Patti Page as well as Anne Shelton also recorded versions during the 1950s. In 1958 Eydie Gormé included the song in her album, Love is the season and in 1989 both Lena Horne in The Men in My Life, and Julie Wilson in an album of Kurt Weill songs.
Personally this song reminds me of waking up in on an early Saturday morning just as the sun starts to pierce through the window shade slits and the flowers outside with morning dew start to open up. As one eye slightly opens up and then the other followed by a fisted hand arm stretch and yawn… then Sarah starts to sing this song… oh so beautifully!
Sarah's accompanied by Leader/Arranger: Ernie Wilkins, Clifford Brown (trumpet), Herbie Mann (flute), Paul Quinichette (tenor), Jimmy Jones (piano), Joe Benjamin (bass), and Roy Haynes (drums). Recorded in New York, December 18, 1954. (EmArcy Records)

Comments 👄👄
👄One of the greatest of all voices. Nobody comes close to even copying her.
👄 This is one of the greatest version of September Song not only for Sarah Vaughan rendition but for Clifford Brown solo. It is epochal, this solo is one of the greatest trumpet solo in the history jazz.
👄 You're right on target. I've always felt that Clifford's solo is a perfect complement to Sarah's enchantment. Been listening to this for almost 50 years and it still makes my flesh crawl.

Adding Radiation to Lung Cancer Treatment Improves Outcomes - Technology Org
A new study found that patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with a combination of low-dose radiation and immunotherapy had higher progression-free survival compared to patients who received immunotherapy alone two years after treatment.

The findings from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons offer hope to those affected by NSCLC, the most common type of lung cancer in the United States, accounting for 81% of all lung cancer diagnoses.
Chemotherapy is frequently coupled with immunotherapy for treating people with lung cancer. However, this study, published in Nature Communications, suggested “the addition of low-dose radiation instead could increase the options available to patients, particularly those who cannot tolerate chemotherapy,” said Dr. Nasser Altorki, chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and the paper’s lead author.
Zachary Walsh, MD/Ph.D. candidate at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, was also co-first author on this study.
Previously, Altorki and colleagues conducted an investigator-initiated clinical trial at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, which enrolled 60 patients with early-stage NSCLC. The randomized phase 2 trial, sponsored by AstraZeneca, coupled radiation with durvalumab, an immune-boosting “checkpoint inhibitor.” These drugs work by releasing the brakes on the immune system to induce a response against tumor cells, but their effects may be insufficient to fully eliminate the cancer.
“Using a low dose of radiation to enhance the immune response, rather than a high dose to destroy the tumor, was a novel feature of the trial,” said co-senior author Timothy McGraw, professor of biochemistry at Weill Cornell Medicine. “From that perspective, I believe Dr. Altorki’s trial design remains unique.”
Dr. Benjamin Izar, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and medical oncologist at NewYork-Presybeterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, was also co-senior author on the paper.
The initial findings, published in Lancet Oncology in 2021, demonstrated that the combo treatment eradicated significantly more tumors than immunotherapy alone. In fact, the combination invoked a “major pathological response”– one that kills more than 90% of the cells in the tumors that were surgically removed and analyzed during the course of the study.
But would it also improve patient survival? To find out, the researchers continued to follow the cohort for an additional two years.
The results of the extended study indicated that the dual therapy reduced the chances of cancer recurrence and extended progression-free survival. Six of the individuals who received immunotherapy alone died of cancer. However, in the “dual-therapy arm” of the trial, there was only one death from cancer and five deaths unrelated to cancer recurrence.
The team also found that cancer-free survival is accompanied by heightened immune activity. Individuals who received immunotherapy plus radiation and had major pathology responses had more activated T cells in their blood compared to those who did not have a major pathology response.
“The appearance of these activated T cells was associated with freedom from cancer recurrence,” said Altorki, who is also the David B. Skinner, M.D. Professor of Thoracic Surgery and the leader of the Experimental Therapeutics Program in the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine.
The researchers discovered that participants who mounted a major pathological response harbored tissue-resident T cells in their blood – even before treatment had begun. “You wouldn’t normally expect to find these cells in circulation,” said Altorki. Their presence suggested that, in these individuals, the immune system had already detected the tumor and initiated a response. Examining participants’ T-cell repertoire could potentially identify individuals who would benefit from combination treatment.
The researchers intend to follow up on this observation in an upcoming trial to assess how radiation stacks up against chemotherapy as a means of bolstering immunotherapy. “We’ve shown that radiation works,” said Altorki. “But does it work as well as – or even better than – chemotherapy? That’s what we want to answer now.”

Deadly Sins Upstage Jazzy Ravel in Fun-Filled CSO Concert
Review: Charlotte Symphony Plays Ravel’s Piano Concerto
By Perry Tannenbaum
You could arguably call it a facelift. After Charlotte Symphony’s powerful performance of Mahler’s somber, morbid, mercurial, epic, and sometimes phantasmagorical Ninth Symphony, almost everything seemed changed two weeks later. A new conductor was onstage, Australia-born maestra Jessica Cottis, making her Queen City…

Why Brecht Now? Vol. II: Nina Simone sings “Pirate Jenny”
Lotte Lenya’s terrific performance of “Pirate Jenny” in G.W. Pabst’s 1931 film version of The Threepenny Opera might be the most enduring version of the song. Brecht abandoned the movie project halfway through the shoot, suspicious of Pabst’s aestheticism and tired of arguing over changes to the narrative scenario and the stage play’s script. One wonders what Brecht might have made of Nina Simone’s rendition of “Pirate Jenny,” which he co-wrote with Kurt Weill in the late 1920s. Simone makes the song her own, not just in the idiosyncrasies of her performance, but in her substantive alterations to the song’s setting, to its title character and to its politics. Simone’s version is found on her 1964 LP Nina Simone in Concert. Below I present the lyrics to her performance, then, in brackets, Brecht’s original German. Following that are my thoughts on the song.
You people can watch while I’m scrubbing these floors
And I’m scrubbing the floors while you’re gawking
Maybe once you tip me, and it makes you feel swell
In this crummy southern town, in this crummy old hotel
But you’ll never guess to who you’re talking
No, you could never guess to who you’re talking
Then one night, there’s a scream in the night
And you wonder, who could that have been?
And you see me kind of grinning while I’m scrubbing
And you say, “What’s she got to grin?”
I’ll tell you
There’s a ship
The black freighter
With a skull on its masthead, will be coming in
You gentlemen can say, “Hey gal, finish them floors!
Get upstairs! What’s wrong with you? Earn your keep here!”
And you toss me your tips and look out to the ships
But I’m counting your heads as I’m making the beds
Cuz there’s nobody gonna sleep here, tonight
Nobody’s gonna sleep here, honey
Nobody
Nobody
Then one night, there’s a scream in the night
And you say, “Who’s that kicking up a row?”
And you see me kind of staring out the window
And you say, “What’s she got to stare at now?”
I’ll tell you
There’s a ship
The black freighter
Turns around in the harbor, shooting guns from her bow
Now, you gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face
Cuz every building in town is a flat one
This whole fricking place will be down to the ground
Only this old, cheap hotel standing up, safe and sound
And you yell, “Why do they spare that one?”
Yes, that’s what you say: “Why do they spare that one?”
All the night through, through the noise and to-do
You wonder, who is that person that lives up there
And you see me stepping out in the morning
Looking nice, with a ribbon in my hair
And the ship
The black freighter
Runs a flag up its masthead and a cheer rings the air!
By noontime the dock is aswarming with men
Coming out from the ghostly freighter
They move in the shadows where no one can see
And they’re chaining up people and they’re bringing ‘em to me
Asking me, “Kill them now or later?”
Asking me, “Kill them now or later?”
Noon by the clock, and so still at the dock
You can hear a foghorn miles away
And in the quiet of death, I’ll say,
“Right now. Right now!”
And they pile up the bodies, and I’ll say,
“That’ll learn ya!”
And the ship
The black freighter
Disappears out to sea, and on it is me
Ha!
[Meine Herren, heute sehen Sie mich Gläser abwaschen
Und ich mache das Bett für jeden
Und Sie geben mir einen Penny und ich bedanke mich schnell
Und Sie sehen meine Lumpen und dies lumpige Hotel
Und Sie wissen nicht, mit wem Sie reden
Und Sie wissen nicht, mit wem Sie reden
Aber eines Tags wird ein Geschrei sein ma Hafen
Und man fragt: Was ist das für ein Geschrei?
Und man wird mich lächeln sehn bei meinen Gläsern
Und man fragt: Was lächelt die dabei?
Und ein Schiff mit acht Segeln
Und mit fünfzig Kanonen
Wird liegen am Kai
Man sagt, geh, wisch deine Gläser, mein Kind
Und man reicht mir den Penny hin
Und der Penny wird genommen
Und das Bett wird gemacht
Es wird keiner mehr drin schlafen in dieser Nacht
Und die wissen immer noch nicht, wer ich bin
Und die wissen immer noch nicht, wer ich bin
Und in dieser Nacht wird ein Getös sein am Hafen
Und man fragt: Was ist das für ein Getös?
Und man wich mich stehen sehen hinterm Fenster
Und man fragt: Was lächelt die so bös?
Und ein Schiff mit acht Segein
Und mit fünfzig Kanonen
Wird bescheissen die Stadt
Meine Herren, da wird wohl ihr Lachen aufhörn
Den die Mauern warden fallen hin
Und am dritten Tage ist die Stadt dem Erdboden gleich
Nur ein lumpiges Hotel wird veschont von jedem Streich
Und man fragt: Wer wont Besonderer darin?
Und man fragt: Wer wont Besonderer darin?
Und in dieser Nacht wird ein Geschrei um das Hotel sien
Und man fragt: Warum wird das Hotel verschont?
Und man sieht mich treten aus der Tür gegen Morgen
Und man sagt: Die hat darin gewohnt?
Und ein Schiff mit acht Segein
Und mit fünfzig Kanonen
Wird beflaggen den Mast
Und es werden kommen hundert gen Mittag an Land
Und werden in den Schatten treten
Und fangen einen jeglichen aus jeglicher Tür
Und legen ihn in Ketten und bringen ihn mir
Und mich fragen: Welchen sollen wir töten?
Und mich fragen: Welchen sollen wir töten?
Und am diesem Mittag wird es still sein am Hafen
Wenn man fragt, wer wohl sterben muss
Und da warden Sie mich sagen hören: Alle!
Und wenn dann der Kopf fällt, sage ich: Hoppla!
Und ein Schiff mit acht Segein
Und mit fünfzig Kanonen
Wird enschwinden mit mir]
In Pabst’s film, Jenny sings soon after learning that her erstwhile lover and pimp Mackie Messer has married Polly Peachum — and immediately after accepting a bribe from Polly’s mother, Mrs. Peachum, to betray Mackie to the London cops. Jenny takes the money, tips off the cops and sings. It seems like a desperate, nihilistic moment: an abject woman, amid turbid emotional and ethical crises, articulates a violent fantasy of absolute power. Whose side is Jenny on? Her own, of course, but operating at such an alienated distance from the social is never a good thing in Brecht.
Simone’s performance feeds off Jenny’s anger and abjection, but the social politics of Simone’s revision are more emphatic, even didactic. In that way, she participates in Brecht’s artistic ethos: Walter Benjamin once noted that Brecht kept a statuette of a donkey in his apartment, and around the donkey’s neck was a sign that read, “Even I must understand it.”
The import of Simone’s relocation of the song — from The Threepenny Opera’s Victorian London, to “this crummy southern town, in this crummy old hotel” — wouldn’t have been obscure to anyone in the Carnegie Hall audiences in front of whom she recorded Nina Simone in Concert, in March and April of 1964. The American south was then embroiled in civil rights struggle and mounting violence: Medgar Evers had been executed in his Mississippi driveway in June of 1963, and just a few months later, Addie Mae Collins, Carol Denise McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley were murdered in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, AL. Collins, Robertson and Wesley were 14 years old; McNair was 11.
Simone addressed that violence in another, more famous song on Nina Simone in Concert, “Mississippi Goddam”: “Alabama’s got me so upset / Tennessee made me lose my rest / And everybody knows about Mississippi, goddam!” It’s rightly noted to be a watershed song, signaling Simone’s forceful transformation into protest singer, activist and cultural radical. Her version of “Pirate Jenny” may lack the referential specificity of that other, more storied song (and “Mississippi Goddam” gets pretty direct; at one point in the song, she intones, “Oh, but this whole country is full of lies / You’re all gonna die, and die like flies / I don’t trust you anymore” — in Carnegie Hall). But “Pirate Jenny” is a lively complement to the indignation of “Mississippi Goddam,” and tonally it’s even more bitter, even more violent.
You can hear that implicit violence in the horrific cackle Simone produces at the 3:27 mark, immediately after the infantilizing image of the ribbon in Jenny’s hair. It’s a stirring contrast: the feminine innocent become vengeful fury. You can hear the bitterness in the final “Ha!” that bursts from her throat as she imagines herself disappearing over the horizon line with the ship. You can feel it in one of Simone’s other revisions to the song. In The Threepenny Opera, the song climaxes with Jenny’s shocking order that all the men in London (“Alle!”) should be killed for her pleasure. In Simone’s version, there’s never any doubt that all of her prisoners should be killed, it’s only a matter of how quickly. She hisses, rapaciously, “Right now / Right now!”
In another notable change, Simone’s Jenny isn’t a prostitute, but a maid, cleaning up after “you people” in the aforementioned “crummy hotel.” Jenny is still marginalized, but there’s nothing subterranean or metaphorical about the economic environment she moves through. It’s all culturally sanctioned. Her oppression is a transparent element of her southern lifeworld, and she is thus sharply conscious of the manifest power of those transactions: “Maybe once you tip me, and it makes you feel swell.” It’s an important change to Brecht’s original lyrics, focusing on a set of economic relations that indicate Jenny’s racially charged plight. She’s a maid in a southern hotel, a laboring black woman, who’s made recognizable as such precisely because of the larger Jim Crow-period matrix of law and social practice that determined who did what work for whom.
That economic register makes some of the song’s subsequent images even more resonant. The people on the receiving end of Jenny’s rage are “chained up” on the “dock.” The spectacle of terrified, chained bodies by the seaside evokes the slave auction block, even as the image wants to invert the slave economy’s racialized logic, of white oppressing black. And Simone repeatedly calls the ship in the harbor a “black freighter.” Black freight. It’s another marker for the slave trade, and perhaps Jenny is trying to run the film in reverse. Perhaps she wants to board the vessel, to sail all the slave ships back across the Atlantic, to neutralize the horror of the Middle Passage. That sounds like a utopian desire, a triumphal image that the song’s tone cannot sustain, or even create in the first place. Too much misery and violence has already happened. American history has already insisted that blackness and capital are inextricably bound. Utopian longing is beside the point. What’s needed is critique, sharpened by righteous rage.
The historical period that we call “the Sixties” ground on for another ten years after Simone’s 1964 Carnegie Hall gigs. She became increasingly militant in her public rhetoric and performative style. She claimed once to have looked Martin Luther King in the face and said, “I am not non-violent.” Her voice throughout “Pirate Jenny” is a sort of corroborating evidence for that assertion.
Simone’s assertiveness continues to reverberate today, as many of the most insistent leftist voices in American institutional politics come from women’s bodies, bodies that are black and ethnically Middle Eastern and Latinx. Why are the reactionaries so obsessed with AOC, with Rashida Tlaib, with Ilhan Omar? Because those women say stuff like “permanent war economy” in public? Because they eschew the rhetoric of moderation? Because they call themselves socialist and don’t seem in the least bit tentative about it? Maybe it’s because they refuse to wait. They want justice. Right now. They want an end to economic exploitation. Right now. They, and the constituencies they represent, have no time to waste on political nicety or policy based on half-measure. They insist that they will be heard. Right now.

De una conversación con Gustav Glück y Kurt Weill
Relaciones de propiedad en los dibujos animados de Mickey Mouse: ahí, por primera vez, nos damos cuenta de que es posible ser privados de nuestro propio brazo o hasta de nuestro propio cuerpo.
El recorrido de Mickey Mouse es más parecido al de un expediente administrativo que al de un corredor de maratón.
En estas películas, la especie humana se prepara para sobrevivir a la civilización.
Mickey Mouse demuestra que una criatura todavía puede sobrevivir aunque esté privada del aspecto humano. Destruye la jerarquía completa de las criaturas que, se supone, culmina en la humanidad.
Estas películas refutan el valor de la experiencia de la manera más radical que se haya hecho nunca. En ese mundo, no vale la pena adquirir experiencia.
Analogía con las fabulas. No, ya que los elementos más vitales en las fabulas son evocados de forma menos simbólica y sugestiva. Hay un inconmensurable abismo entre ellas y Maeterlinck o Mary Wigman. Todas las películas de Mickey Mouse se basan en el tema del irse de casa para descubrir qué es el miedo.
Por tanto, la explicación del enorme éxito de estas películas no se debe a la técnica, a la forma; tampoco se trata de un equívoco. Se da simplemente por el hecho de que el público reconoce ahí su propia vida.
"Mickey Mouse", Walter Benjamin
