Riccardo Del Fra «BROADWAY LETTERS» FEAT: Peter Weniger-Christian Von der Goltz-Bill Petry\n\nRiccardo Del Fra reveals his love for the Great American Songbook, accompanied by 3 exceptional guests: Christian Von Der Goltz on piano and Peter Weniger on Saxophone with a special guest Bill Petry on trumpet only on Thursday. From Broadway to Hollywood , from Manhattan to Paris : Songs have a history and stories that continue to inspire composers, arrangers and improvisers. Who was Gail Russell ? What’s the connection between the film “ The Uninvited ” and the ballad “ Stella by Starlight ”? Despite its immediate popularity, the song “ Body and Soul ” was banned from the radio for almost a year, due to its suggestive lyrics of an obvious sexual nature. But was this the only reason for its great success? Who was Vernon Duke , the composer of “ I Can’t Get Started ”, “ Autumn in New York ” and “ April in Paris ”? What was his relationship with Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev ? What allusion does Cole Porter make when he quotes Plymouth Rock in the lyrics of “ Anything Goes ”? Was this allusion taken up by Malcolm X during a speech on black nationalism? Who was Salvatore Antonio Guaragna , composer of over 800 songs, many of which have become indispensable standards? In the mid-1920s, George Gershwin stayed in Paris. What kind of relation he had with Nadia Boulanger and Maurice Ravel ? What’s the story of the popular song by the Gershwin brothers „ The Man I Love „? Which musical Cole Porter wrote, inspired by a four-and-a-half months „around the world“ luxury cruise on the Franconia, with family, friends, and assistants?
