Music and Sounds

"Now, before you begin on your histories, I will present you with "My Romance." - Caravaggio

"Written in 1935 by Lorenzo Hart, I believe." - The English Patient

 

1935. 1936. 1937. Great jazz years. The years when it floated out of the Hotel Claridge on the Champs-Elysees and into the bars of London, southern France, Morocco, and then slid into Egypt, where the rumours of such rhythms was introduced in a hush by an unnamed Cairo dance band.

 

"But this tune,'How Long Has This Been Going On,' is one of the great songs because the introduction's melody is purer than the song it introduces." - Caravaggio
