Erin O'Brien (January 17, 1934 – May 20, 2021) was an American actress and singer, active during the mid-twentieth century and best known as the leading lady of arguably the first made-for-TV movie,[citation needed] Girl on the Run, which also served as the pilot for the television series 77 Sunset Strip written by Roy Huggins and starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr., which played briefly in theaters before airing on television on October 10, 1958. The daughter of a milk delivery man, Vincent O'Brien, and his wife, Betty, she was the oldest of 14 siblings, with seven sisters and six brothers. She was born in Hollywood, grew up in Long Beach, California, and was a graduate of St. Anthony High School.

At 15, O'Brien had a notable encounter singing to Helen Keller, who was staying at a nunnery in Pasadena: "The sister surrounding Keller's bed encouraged a frightened O'Brien to continue [singing]. Finally Keller reached up and held her hand to O'Brien's throat to feel the vibrato. Keller began crying. 'Afterward she kept kissing my hand again and again and again.'" Shortly after finishing high school, O'Brien sang with a choir directed by Walter Schumann. For three years, O'Brien appeared on a five-day-a-week television show hosted by Al Jarvis which also featured Betty White. After that, she toured as a singer and eventually became a winner on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts on television, which led to a one-year contract on The Tonight Show.

O'Brien was the leading lady in episodes of such television shows as Bat Masterson with Gene Barry, Sugarfoot, Cheyenne with Clint Walker. Maverick with James Garner, episode: "Stage West", Colt .45, The Asphalt Jungle, Laramie, Tombstone Territory, Death Valley Days, and Perry Mason, and onscreen In Like Flint. She was deemed too short to star opposite Gene Kelly in Marjorie Morningstar; Natalie Wood was hired instead. O'Brien was a singer on The Frank Sinatra Show[? on CBS-TV (1950-1952), The Eddie Fisher Show on NBC-TV (1957-1959), and the syndicated The Liberace Show (1958-1959).? She entertained troops with Bob Hope, Jayne Mansfield, and Frances Langford in 1957 and was the face of advertising campaigns for Schlitz and later, Smirnoff.

According to the Internet Movie Database, O'Brien was a featured solo singer on The Steve Allen Show from 1956 to 1958. Her films include Onionhead with Andy Griffith (1958) and John Paul Jones with Robert Stack (1959). In 1958, O'Brien released an album, Songs From the Heart of Erin O'Brien on Coral Records. On June 16, 1951, O'Brien married public relations practitioner James Fitzgerald. They had three sons and divorced on January 17, 1963. She had two children by her second husband, Kanan Awni, whom she married twice. She died on May 20, 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_O%27Brien_(actress)

Simona Bencini cannot be defined as a jazz singer tout court, but a flexible singer who has made contamination and transversality her stylistic code: from the soul-funk of Dirotta su Cuba to the songwriting of Pacifico and Elisa, from the jazz of Stefano Bollani and Lmg 4tet at the swing of the Parco della Musica Jazz Orchestra. Accompanied by Lmg 4tet, the Apulian quartet with which she recorded her first jazz record "Spreading love", Simona Bencini returns with "UNFINISHED", an album of unreleased jazz songs completed during the 2020 lockdown with a vintage and refined style. The album features several featuring by important Italian jazz players who have collaborated with Simona over the last few years: from Fabrizio Bosso to Antonio Faraò, from Julien Oliver Mazzariello to Mario Rosini. There will therefore be surprises and guests during the evening!Translate By Googlehttps://www.bluenotemilano.com/evento/concerto-simona-bencini-7-ottobre-2021-milano/

Patrick Cornelius - Acadia: Way of the Cairns

(6:23) 1. Way of the Cairns
(6:56) 2. Star Party

(4:54) 8. On the Precipice
(4:23) 9. Ten Years Later

No, this is not an ECM album, though, looking at the sleeve art, you would be excused from thinking it was trying to pass itself off as one. Half of the Acadia quartet is indeed European: Estonian-born, German-based pianist Kristjan Randalu and Luxembourg-born, US-based drummer Paul Wiltgen. The other half is American: alto saxophonist Patrick Cornelius and US-born, London-based double bassist Michael Janisch. The music itself is a genuinely transatlantic affair, though the US is the dominant partner: Cornelius' vigorous straight-ahead playing and composing are the key sculpting elements, supported by Janisch's forceful presence. The band began life in the late 2000s as The Transatlantic Collective. Ten years after its last performance it reformed as Acadia, recording this album in the spring of 2019.

Acadia calls itself a collective, too. But this, like the sleeve design, is a bit confusing. The album is billed as by Cornelius, not Acadia; Cornelius wrote six of the eight tunes; and Cornelius is the producer (the other three musicians are given as co-producers). Just saying. No caveats about the music though. Its future facing trajectory is a kind of fast-forwarded update of alto saxophonist Jackie McLean's direction in the mid 1960s: firmly in the straight-ahead tradition but stretching the envelope venturesomely and mostly muscularly. Two non-Cornelius tunes provide a shift in dynamics: Randalu's "Valse Hésitante" and Wiltgen's closer, "Ten Years Later," are each somewhere between wistful and reflective.

It all makes for a satisfying mix, equal parts cerebral and visceral. Cornelius says that, while writing the material for the album, he had in mind America's National Parks, to which the album is dedicated. These, together with wider ecological concerns, have been the motivator of several late 2010s albums, kicking off with the trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith's America's National Parks (Cuneiform, 2016). Acadia: Way Of The Cairns is a fine addition to the oeuvre.~Chris May https://www.allaboutjazz.com/acadia-way-of-the-cairns-patrick-cornelius-whirlwind-recordings

(3:31) 7. Skater For Mater
(5:59) 8. Blues

A rare European date from reedman Buddy Collette and arguably one of his hippest albums ever! The set was recorded in Milan in 1961, and features a great lineup not only of Italian players, but which also includes the legendary Dusko Goykovich on trumpet bringing in a nicely harder sound next to Buddy's work on flute and alto sax! Tracks have a well-arranged feel the tighter structures of the Italian jazz scene of the time, but with sharper edges than Buddy's 50s work in LA and given that Collette wrote nearly every number on the set, the album's a great discovery of his deep talents as a writer. In addition to Goykovich on trumpet, other musicians include Renato Sellani on piano, Dino Piana on trombone, Jimmy Pratt on drums, Gianni Basso on tenor, and Franco Cerri on guitar and Armshed Shobey plays a bit of bongos on a few tracks, adding in a nicely exotic feel. Titles include "Skater For Mater", "Blues", "A Taste Of Fresh Air", "Pickford Street", "Paddy", and "Blues For Nicola".© 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/749893/Buddy-Collette:Polyhedric
