Description

[Machine Translation] The world of standard jazz music that you want to hear again now! Jerome Kern ( 1885 - 1945 ): Born in New York City to German Jewish parents, Kern learned the fundamentals of music from his mother, a pianist, and later studied at New York University and later at Heidelburg University in Germany. After returning to the U.S., he worked as a score demonstration pianist for Tin Pan Alley and as a rehearsal pianist for the theater, and gradually became a composer for musicals in New York and London. In the 1910s, Kahn's talent as a composer blossomed, and his fame grew with such hit musicals as The Ziegfeld Follies and Sully. Among these, "Show Boat," the first musical to depict social themes such as racism and poverty, was highly acclaimed in 1927 and remains a beloved masterpiece to this day. Although he continued to perform energetically, in 1945 he collapsed on the streets of New York and never returned home. In his final days, his close friend Oscar Hammerstein took care of him. Kern saw the potential of soundtracks, believing that movies would become the center of popular entertainment in the future when silent movies were not yet common. Although the soundtracks were not successful because the film industry was still in its infancy, they led to the establishment of ASCAP (American Society of Composers and Publishers), an organization that protects the publishing rights of composers, and they contributed greatly to the development of American music. Includes Japanese-language commentary.

Description in Japanese

アイム・オールド・ファッションド~スタンダード・ジャズの世界 ジェローム・カーン・ソングブック / オムニバス

いま改めて聴きたいスタンダード・ジャズの世界! ジェローム・カーン (1885~1945): ニューヨークでドイツ系ユダヤ人の家に生まれたカーンは、ピアニストだった母に音楽の基礎を習った後ニューヨーク大学、その後ドイツのハイデルブルグ大学でも学んだ。アメリカに戻った後はティン・パン・アレーの楽譜実演ピアニストや劇場のリハーサル・ピアニストとして働き、徐々に作曲家としてニューヨークやロンドンのミュージカルに作品を提供するようになる。1910年代に入るとカーンの作曲家としての才能は開花し、『ジーグフェルド・フォリーズ』や『サリー』など大ヒット・ミュージカルを手がけ名声を高めた。中でも1927年に上演された『ショウボート』は初めて人種差別や貧困など社会的なテーマをモチーフに描かれたミュージカルとして高い評価を獲得、今も名作として愛される作品。その後も精力的に活動したが、1945年にニューヨークの路上で倒れそのまま帰らぬ人となった。最期は盟友オスカー・ハマースタインが看取ったという。カーンはまだサイレント映画が一般的ではない頃に映画がこれからの時代大衆の娯楽の中心になると考え、サウンドトラックに可能性を見出した。まだ映画の創世記だったためヒットには結びつかなかったが、作曲家の出版権利を保護する団体ASCAP (全米出版社協会)の立ち上げに繋がり、アメリカ音楽の発展に大きく寄与する事となった。日本語解説付。
