Crooners, Rock and Roll, Jazz, R and B - The Melting Pot of 1950's Music
by
Darrell Berg-Smith
The 1950's would prove to be a melting pot of music like never before. Diversity was the state of affairs for this thriving nation and individuality would take center stage. This was the era that saw Rock and Roll music rise to supremacy, but it certainly did not stand-alone. Blues and R
B topped the charts with artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Muddy Waters and B.B. King.

The (Good) Old Days Weren't So Bad After All
by
William Torpey
Yonkers, N.Y., was a bustling community in the '30s and '40s when I grew up. It was a great city, once known as "The City of Gracious Living." Recently, however, I read in the New York Times that it's now sometimes referred to as "Beirut-on-the-Hudson."

Drummers of the Swing Jazz Era
by
Victor Epand
Rock and roll artists have a tendency to think that they invented the concept of rebellion. That before their genre came along, everything was goody-two-shoes and Miss Manners. What they forget is that the music industry has always been a place of innovation a source of social uproar.

Crooners - 1930's Music in America - Decoding a Decade Through Its Music
by
Darrell Berg-Smith
Music is the instrument by which matters of the soul are conveyed. The music of each generation tells a tale about what people are living and the events that impact their lives. America, still in its infant stages compared to civilizations like Egypt, Greece, and much of the European and Middle-eastern countries; leaves a legacy of history through the music of her decades.

The Newport Jazz Festival: RI's Historical Improvisation for Jazz Appreciation
by
Eva Pasco
Characterized as having a strong and rhythmic understructure, solos, call-and-response patterns-the blues print of improvisation puts its stamp on the celebrated musical genre of jazz. A proud part of African-American culture, the history of jazz traces its roots back to the United States during the early part of the 20th century. Alas, after many jam sessions and much improvisation, jazz appreciation in the state of Rhode Island prevailed through the creation of the Newport Jazz Festival, held three days every August so residents and visitors alike can tune in to its inventive style, creative genius, and all that jazz.
