	Manas: Culture, Indian Cinema- Satyajit Ray

		Ray was a prolific short story writer, with over a dozen volumes to his credit; and he contributed regularly to the children's journal "Sandesh", which he also edited.

	Jazz Standards: Cherokee (Indian Love Song)
		Ray Noble was a popular English bandleader/pianist and the first to become a success in America.
		Noble’s lyrics are written from a male perspective, the first and last sections beginning with “Sweet Indian maiden” and “My sweet Indian maiden.” Interestingly, when the rarely heard lyrics are recorded it is usually by a female; male performers are perhaps not comfortable with the quaint tone.
		Ray Noble was a songwriter and a band leader for whom I had great admiration … He wrote a number of memorable tunes of which the best known to jazz audiences is “Cherokee.” Noblesse is my tribute to Ray Noble.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Ray -- Taylor Hackford - DVD - Subtitled / Pan & Scan / Dubbed
		One of America’s best-loved musicians, the late Ray Charles deserved a big-screen biography that did justice to his incredible life and career -- and he got it, thanks to director Taylor Hackford and star Jamie Foxx.
		Very nearly as good are Kerry Washington as Ray’s long-suffering wife, Della Bea; Regina King as his backup singer and lover Margie Hendricks; Clifton Powell as close friend and business associate Jeff Brown; Curtis Armstrong as record producer Ahmet Ertegun; and Larenz Tate as the young Quincy Jones.
		The movie doesn’t spare Ray by glossing over his most egregious failings, but it reaches an uplifting climax by showing his recovery from heroin addiction and, more important, his unburdening of the guilt he had long shouldered over his brother’s death.

	Glenn Miller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Benny Goodman once said that Glenn "was a pedestrian trombone player and he knew it." When Teagarden joined the Pollack band, Glenn saw the handwriting on the wall and determined to concentrate on arranging, an art for which he had a rare talent and which he had been studying with the esteemed teacher Joseph Schillinger.
		In 1934 he was the first musician hired, both for his musicianship and his skills as an arranger, by the Dorseys when they formed their first band.
		Late in 1934 British band leader Ray Noble arrived in the United States to try his hand at wooing American audiences, who had heard and bought recordings that his "orchestra"--in reality an assemblage of musicians from other ensembles--had made in England.

	Glen Miller Music and Discussion
		While working for Pollack, Glenn also arranged for other bands, but his break came in 1935 when he was asked to form a band for Ray Noble, the British band leader, for a stint at the Rainbow Room, New York.
		This first band had a "sound" that was not totally uncommon, using a baritone lead sax, but the "sound" for he became famous was the result of an arrangement he created for Ray Noble where he married a clarinet and tenor sax for the lead.
		Ray Noble was disinterested, however, since in his opinion it did not fit the style of his band.

		Rich conducted a lot of music himself for the network, and also determined what music was put over the network by other artists, as well as which orchestras and which soloists would be used on which shows.
		Rich was a top musician in a field that's not well written about or understood today, and an influential bandleader and administrator in a time when a lot of great and groundbreaking talents might've gone hungry if it hadn't been for him and CBS.
		His tenure at United Artists was more uneven, but his dance sides, which are just beginning to come out on CD in the 1990's, capture some of the vitality and originality of a period in which those attributes are often overlooked.

	Music in the Miller Mood
		Noble wasn’t impressed with the sound, so Miller saved it for himself, later substituting a clarinet for the trumpet lead.
		Singer Ray Eberle was "the young man in the romance department," as Miller often introduced him, who recorded almost all of the band's hit vocal ballads.
		But Miller’s musicians, particularly in his Army Air Force (AAF) band or, as it later would be called in England, "The Band of the Allied Expeditionary Forces," had as much room to improvise as musicians in other big bands of the era.

		The two were well known for stealing musicians from each other, but in this case, it was a friendly call from Benny Goodman, telling Tommy Dorsey he was in need of a trombone player.
		It was called “Harlem Nocturne.” The Noble orchestra played it the very next night, and it is probable that not a night has passed in the following 60 years without “Harlem Nocturne “delighting some audience somewhere in the world.
		But “Harlem Nocturne “ wasn't the only life-changing thing from the Ray Noble period, for it was with that band that he met the beautiful singer from East St. Louis, Illinois, Lou Sidwell.
