Appendices. Index. Glossy laminated boards. From the rear cover: "THE UNSUNG SONGWRITERS is dedicated to a period in the history of American music that author Warren Vache calls the 'Golden Age of Songwriting' and to the men and women who made it great. Contrary to the widely held opinion that most of our hit and standard songs were composed by a handful of top writers - Berlin Gershwin Kern Porter and Rodgers - the fact is that the vast majority of them were written by relatively unknown composers. Additionally while the writers who contributed material to the Broadway stage - and to some extent Hollywood musicals - were able to establish distinguished reputations the many freelance writers who were responsible for some of our best songs remained unrecognized by the general public. In this volume you will find Al Neiberg the author of IT'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN Frank Perkins who wrote EMALINE and STARS FELL ON ALABAMA Maceo Pinkard the mind behind SWEET GEORGIA BROWN and SUGAR Ralph Rainger who is responsible for WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN Harry Woods for TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS J. Fred Coots for YOU GO TO MY HEAD and many more. THE UNSUNG SONGWRITERS brings long overdue recognition to these influential writers and at the same time highlights a neglected but important segment of our American musical heritage.".

Album of mementos and ephemera.

1928173491Austria: 1928-33. Girljazzband" wows 1920s Austria A delightful Jazz Age scrapbook that doubles as liber amicorum and guest book assembled by the pianist and singer Anny Gloss recording in part her career with the Ninon Fleuron Jazz Ladies opening a window into the experiences of European women in jazz during the music's formative years. The first set of newspaper clippings record that in 1928 Gloss was teamed with the American "Jazz Queen" Elsie Teele at the "charming and elegant" Viennese bar the Bonbonnière with Teele billed as "the female Whiteman" - she gave the Austrian premier of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue in 1927.

The album contains numerous messages sometimes addressed to her directly from friends audience members and well-wishers. While most of these are in German some are in English "Your music makes me feel 10 years younger". The Ninon Fleuron Jazz Ladies which had various personnel came to an abrupt end with Hitler's invasion of Austria in 1938.
