		Composer Vernon Duke wrote three pieces for Thumbs Up!: a dance number for Hal Le Roy to tap to, a tango for J. Harold Murray, and the finale, “Autumn in New York.” Only the latter remained in the show which opened on December 27, 1934, and closed five months later.

		ACO launched its three-year Millennium celebration with "The Gershwin Circle" a concert of music for piano and orchestra by Gershwin and musicians in and around his sphere of influence: these were Vernon Duke (also known as Vladimir Dukelsky), Oscar Levant and Maurice Ravel.
		Four piano soloists shared the spotlight: Scott Dunn offered the world premiere of Vernon Duke's Piano Concerto in C (which Dunn orchestrated), Alan Feinberg took the honors in Oscar Levant's concerto, Ursula Oppens tackled the Ravel Left-Hand Concerto, while Leon Bates performed Gershwin's less-well-known Rhapsody No. 2.
		The world premiere of Vernon Duke's (then known as Vladimir Dukelsky) early piano concerto, written in 1924, was certainly the curiosity of the program.

		Try to write some real popular tunes, that is. Using the Gershwin-manufactured moniker Vernon Duke, he came to Broadway in 1930, with an early song hit in "April in Paris" (with a lyric by E.Y. Harburg).
		While Duke was biding his time in the late thirties and early forties, his publisher Jack Robbins — looking for material to peddle to the piano lesson crowd — commissioned a series of stand-alone piano solos, nominally descriptive of various American cities.
		We have been waiting quite some time for a Vernon Duke songbook; the majority of these songs are long out of print, sad to say.

		Duke, composer of such musicals as Cabin in the Sky, which has a rousing full soundtrack from the 1943 film production, wrote variously sugary and Gershwin-esque pop songs along with some "serious" music.
		So the playful rundowns of Duke's poppier material might only hint at Upshaw's full range (as evidenced by Gorecki's Symphony No. 3 and her collection of Debussy songs), but they're fun and colorful.
		Extending her commitment from the modernist George Crumb and the Kronos Quartet to Vernon Duke--most of whose works are even less known, despite the label "popular music"--she continues to enrich our experience and establish for future performers the standard repertoire, as well as the standard of performance.

		His legacy as a Broadway composer ultimately rests on 1940s Cabin In The Sky, but there are countless musical treasures written throughout his career - songs from Banjo Eyes, starring Eddie Cantor and Dancing in the Streets, starring Mary Martin.

		Happily, if anyone can overcome the disappointing surroundings, it’s Klea Blackhurst who, with Michael Rice and the Pocket Change Trio, has mounted a show called “Autumn in New York: Vernon Duke’s Broadway”; that is buoyant and charming.
		Often likened to Ethel Merman for her clarion belt, a comparison that is played to the hilt, Blackhurst has harnessed a fascination for composer Vernon Duke into an entertaining and endearing, if sometimes bumpy, entertainment.
		The show’s patter includes interesting tidbits about Duke’s life which bring to mind the role Blackhurst played in “Radio Gals” where she was a besotted woman stalking George Gershwin.
