		Amram hastened to add that he doesn’t normally write the sort of avant-garde music that he calls the "shock the audience and upset the musicians" genre.
		Amram first met Winkler and Lyric Opera violinist Alexander Belavsky, who will perform the concerto at the Harper concert, when he was conducting the Grant Park Symphony in the 1980s and they were playing with the orchestra.
		Amram’s current projects include a concerto commissioned by flutist James Galway and a musical collaboration with "Angela’s Ashes" author Frank McCourt, whom Amram knew long before he was a best-selling writer.

		Amram, you see, is best known for his more than 100 orchestral and chamber works and for his jazz collaborations with such notables as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Charlie Mingus, Thelonius Monk and Lionel Hampton.
		Amram, who spent much of his life in the South, captures the essence of life there with "Southern Stories." Eloquently, yet simply, he weaves story and song into a snapshot of the South.
		With all of his acclaim, Amram said his children (ages 15, 18 and 20) are most impressed by the reference to their father in a song by the popular children's composer, Raffi.

		Amram was born in Philadelphia, but he spent his childhood on the family farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where the family moved shortly before his seventh birthday.
		Amram's fascination with jazz was heightened when he first heard the voice of the famous cantor Yossele [Joseph] Rosenblatt on the sound track of Al Jolson's film The Jazz Singer (generally cited as the first commercial "talking" picture).
		Amram's chamber and solo music includes Discussion for fl ute, cello, piano, and percussion; a sonata for unaccompanied violin; Fanfare and Processional; Three Songs for Marlboro; and The Wind and the Rain.

		Amram was also a good buddy and frequent collaborator of Jack Kerouac's, and his new memoir Offbeat (Thunder's Mouth Press-$22.95) is a good natured-if highly repetitive and self-congratulatory-record of a number of Thunderbird wine-soaked experiences among "the beats".
		Amram is obviously a total sweetheart whose hyperbole can be traced in equal parts to a child-like sincerity and to his devotion to a talented friend who was lost to him in tragic fashion.
		Amram makes a credible case for their joint spontaneous creation of "poetry-and-music" sessions in the mid-50's being the basis not only of rap and hip-hop music but also of spoken word events and poetry slams.

		Rachel Portman was called in to provide the dark and turgid score, following on David Amram's contribution to the 1962 original, which steered clear of many of the Hollywood scoring trends at the time.
		Amram's compositions appropriately begin the album, his main theme being in a jazz idiom, a measured, melancholy piece for sax, trumpet, muted trombones, piano, bass and drums.
		I would say that both scores are effective in their respective films, but there is a higher listenability factor in Amram's music, mainly due to his modern, serial sections, mixed with lively jazz and blues tracks.

		David Amram has always been interested in a wide variety of music.
		Amram's goal was to combine classical, folk and world music from several countries with touches of jazz.
		Amram (who plays piano, French horn, Pakistani flute and dumbek) does not really succeed in mixing the different idioms equally, but the results (which he called "music without walls") have their moments of interest.

		David: I would have been glad if they could have used something of hers – my God, if they had used the words that she wrote to my music, today a lot more people would be aware of he music.
		David: Well, that’s one reason Steve Goodman and I went up to the campers’ area at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, because a lot of them, I found, never went down to the concerts at all, but just stayed in their tents the whole weekend.
		David: You know, at Mariposa a couple of years ago, John and Steve were at a workshop with Michael Cooney, and then snuck in later, to the festival, the back way.

	Filmtracks: The Manchurian Candidate (David Amram/Rachel Portman)
		David Amram's 1962 score was a much more varied, diverse, and dynamic orchestral effort, including elements of jazz and Latin influence.
		Amram also took advantage of a handful of plucking string motifs to tingle our senses when the brainwashing was in effect on screen.
		Hearing both the Amram and Portman scores back to back tells all you need to know about the different directions taken in the films, and despite their ability to suit their own projects well enough to suffice, it's easy to say that Portman's score lacks the emotional punch of Amram's original.

		Amram, however, views his own life according to the Native American philosophy of "walking the trail of beauty"--following where his interests lead him.
		For Amram, composing jazz music, writing a piece of journalism, building new media content and even painting all center on the same basic skills of good storytelling--improvisation, collaboration, multiple media and interactivity.
		Their stories--how they lived, what was there, what the topography was like, what the sky was like, and the position of the stars--all hook up with everything that scientists from the European scientific tradition can ascertain about what it was like 25,000 years ago.
