    Extractions: Bulletin Boards That Teach About Composers and/or Performers page 2 Gershwin's America This bulletin board is actually an American flag (well, sorta! It's my interpretation of the flag. :-)) With a Gershwin quote written on the white stripes and the name of some Gershwin songs on white notes that replace the white starts. The quote that I use: "True Music...must repeat the thoughts and inspirations of the people and their time. My people are Americans. My time is now." -George Gershwin (1898-1937) DUKE This bulletin board looks best down in black, white, silver and another accent color (like red or yellow). I use a white background, with sparkly silver trim, and black construction paper behind all of the letters, and the big photo of Duke Ellington in the middle of the board. I type up info about Duke Ellington, cut it down to a tall rectangular shape and then glue it to a piece of black construction paper that is cut in the shape of a top hat. I put the top hat with the info on it on a colored square of construction paper (red or yellow) and attach them in a semi-circle around the main picture of him in the middle of the board. I use top hats because the picture that I use of him has him in one. It looks sorta like this one- CLICK HERE . Here is the info that I use on the top hats. Born 29 April 1899 in Washington DC, composer, bandleader, and pianist Edward Kennedy ("Duke") Ellington was recognized in his lifetime as one of the greatest jazz composers and performers.

    Extractions: BIOGRAPHY "Jane Miller the person directly relates to Jane Miller the musician without apparent contradiction. Miller speaks, and the focus, sincerity and earnestness of her music are also there in her voice. In fact, her own instrumental sound is not entirely unrelated to her speaking voice." William Tandy Young, Blues Wire Guitarist/Composer Jane Miller¹s new CD, "The Other Room," on Pink Bubble Records, is a 12 song collection of her most recent compositions, brilliantly performed by her group (Tim Ray-piano, Bob Simonelli-fretless electric bass, and Don Kirby-drums). Like her previous two CDs, "Postcard," (1993) and "Secret Pockets," (1998) "The Other Room" is receiving rave reviews and air play throughout the United States and Canada. The pairing of engineer Peter Kontrimas and assistant producer Lauren Passarelli has resulted in a bold new sound, providing the perfect vehicle for this contemporary jazz material. The recording also features Jane¹s debut writing for strings, with a performance by The Arriaga String Quartet.
