 PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Jazz Exchange - Dance and Jazz

 Martha Graham Summary
The purpose of Graham's dance was to evoke a heightened awareness of life, to develop psychological insights about the nature of man. Dance was to her an "inner emotional experience." Her themes were often overtly psychological.
She created and codified a dance language that stressed the downward pull of gravity and balance—and, along with it she identified a series of gestures and movements to express particular emotions in dance.
She began dancing in 1916 and retired as a dancer in 1970, although she continued to choreograph for her company until her death at 96.

July 15 -- An old Mexican wedding dance with African roots, the song was given a rock and roll twist by Richie Valens and was released in 1958 on the flip side of the 17-year-old's second hit, "Donna." The B-side recording was messy and expected to be used only as filler and forgotten.
The song started off as an up-tempo dance instrumental but later, as its popularity grew, lyrics were added and the rhythm of "Star Dust" slowed to a ballad.
Improvised on stage one night while on tour in 1959, the song is still played as an encore by Charles for most of his concerts and he considers it his trademark song.
