Élete korai szakasza és Tanulmányai
szerkesztésGiovanni Serrapica néven született a new yorki Brooklynban, Pasquale Serrapica és Anna Balestrieri olasz−amerikai szülők gyermekeként. Ő volt a család 14. gyermeke közül a negyedik. A zene szeretetét édesapjától tanulta, aki mandolinon és zongorán játszott klasszikus darabokat. 5 éves korától fogva neves európai zeneszerzők darabjait, mint Verdi, Puccini, Rossini és Mozart kísérte apja mellett billentyűn.
Serry a brooklyni Technical High School-ban építészetet tanult, ekkoriban kapott egy majdnem végzetes betegséget, ami félbeszakította zongora tanulmányait. Később édesapja bíztatta őt, hogy tanuljon harmonikán játszani. 1926–1929-ig a new yorki Pietro Deiro iskolában tanult harmonikázni, Joseph Rossitól. 14 éves korában már élő adásban játszott az olasz WCDA rádió csatornán. 1929–1932 között Albert Rizzinél folytatta tanulmányait, aki zongorázást és összhangzattant tanított neki, és 2 évig Gene Von Hallbergnél aki az amerikai harmonikások egyesületének volt az alapítója. Életreszóló barátságot kötött Louise Del Monte harmonikással, ő ébresztette fel érdeklődését a latin-amerikai zene iránt. Felsőfokú tanulmányait a zeneszerző Robert Strassburg irányítása alatt végezte a 1940-es években, akitől többek között hangszerelést is tanult.
Pályafutása
szerkesztés1930-as évek: Big Band korszak
szerkesztésWith the help of Del Monte, in the 1930s Serry began his professional career by making appearances with the Ralph Gomez Tango orchestra at the Rainbow Room at the RCA Building in Rockefeller Center,[6] leading to an extended engagement there in 1935.[6]
During the Big Band era in New York City, he performed under Erno Rapee – conductor of the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra, and was the ensemble's first on-stage accordion soloist in 1933. He played with the Hugo Mariani Tango Orchestra at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in the 1930s.[19] and with Alfred Brito – a Cuban orchestra leader in New York (1936), and Misha Borr, sometime conductor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel house orchestra (the Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra) during the early 1930s.[19] He also appeared as a soloist for society functions during this time at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel's Waldorf Towers and at its Starlight Roof with the Lester Lanin Orchestra. In addition he performed regularly at society clubs, including El Morocco, the Rainbow Room, El Chico and the Riviera in New York City, New York.[6]
Serry performed with the jazz group Shep Fields and His Rippling Rhythm orchestra, including during a nationwide tour which featured live radio broadcasts from the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, Illinois and the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California over the NBC network (1937–1938).[10] These Big band remote broadcasts were noteworthy for utilizing the Zenith Electronics Corporation's new Radiogran broadcast technology. Serry's performances as a member of the orchestra and soloist are documented in a segment of Paramount Pictures' motion picture musical anthology The Big Broadcast of 1938 ("This Little Ripple Had Rhythm" & Thanks for the Memory - which earned the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1939 [20]). In addition, he recorded several popular songs of the time for Bluebird Records including: With a Smile and a Song (Frank Churchill/Larry Morey), Whistle While You Work (Frank Churchill/Larry Morey) and Now It Can Be Told (Irving Berlin).[21]
Serry also served as Assistant Dean of Accordion and Harmony at the Biviano Accordion Center in Manhattan between 1939 and 1942,[22][23] providing instruction on accordion and orchestral jazz.[24][25]
1940-es évek: A rádió aranykora
szerkesztésSerry married his wife Julia in the 1940s and moved to Nassau County, New York on Long Island in order to raise a family of four children, one of whom is the jazz musician John Serry Jr. He simultaneously undertook private studies with Joscha Zade in piano (1945–1946), Radio City Music Hall organist Arthur Guttow, (1946) and composer Robert Strassburg in orchestration and Advanced Harmony (1948–1950)[26] while specializing in the musical compositions of Gershwin, Debussy and Ravel.[27]
In 1941, Serry performed opera music at Town Hall under the baton of Alexander Smallens in concert performances of Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts[14] working with choral director Leonard De Paur.[14]
Building on his live radio experience during the 1930s, Serry entered the "golden age of radio" in the 1940s, performing on the CBS radio network with several New York City concert artists, including: Marianne Oswald – a.k.a. Marianne Lorraine,[28] a French chanteuse – in a performance of works by the American poet Carl Sandburg at Town Hall (1942),[12][13] and Alfredo Antonini – conductor CBS Pan American Orchestra on the CBS network (1940–1949)[29][30] and conductor for the Viva América[31] program on CBS for the Department of State – Office for Inter-American Affairs (OCIAA).[19][30][32] His performance with Marianne Lorraine was praised in The Players Magazine - National Journal of Educational Dramatics as a fresh, unique and intriguing experience.[33] He also performed within Antonini's orchestra in the Night of the Americas Concert gala staged at Carnegie Hall in 1946.[11] While on staff at CBS, Serry was featured on several network broadcasts including: The Gordon MacRae Show Star of Stars broadcast live from the CBS Starline Roof (1946) featuring Serry as solo artist and Archie Bleyer as conductor; The Danny O'Neil Show featuring Serry as guest artist (1946); The Coca-Cola Hour on the CBS network with the Percy Faith Orchestra conducted by Percy Faith (1948); The Jack Smith Show (1947); The Jean Sablon Show (1947); and Studio One with cellist Bernard Greenhouse.[34]
Serry worked with a number of international concert artists during this period, including Argentine composer Terig Tucci,[35][36][37][38][39] Juan Arvizu – the Mexican "Tenor with the Silken Voice" and bolero dancer on the CBS network (1940s);[40] Nestor Chayres – a Mexican tenor, a.k.a. "El Gitano De Mexico", on the CBS network (1942 and 1945);[41] Eva Garza – the Mexican songstress featured on Viva América for CBS/ABC radio;[42] Miguel Sandoval ;– Guatemaian composer and pianist on the CBS network (1940s); and Marlene Dietrich – in a performance of Lili Marlene on CBS radio, John Serry Sr. accompanist (1945).
A variety of recording artists also participated with him including: Victoria Cordova vocalist and Alfredo Antonini, conductor for a recording session on Muzak (1949);[43][44] RCA Victor's transcriptions division for recordings of over thirty compositions by Serry's ensemble the BelCordions (four accordions supported by string bass and guitar) for broadcast over the NBC network (1946); and the Biviano Sextette in a performance for a series of LP recordings (1946). His recordings with Cordova showcased several songs from Latin America including: Verde Luna (Vincente Gomez), Amor (Gabriel Ruiz), Siboney (Ernesto Lecuona), You Belong to My Heart (Agustin Lara), Edelma - Pasillo (Terig Tucci) and What a Difference a Day Made (Maria Grever).[45][46][47][48] His recordings with the Viva America Orchestra conducted by Alfredo Antonini for Alpha Records (cataloge #'s 12205A, 12205B, 12206A, 12206B) in 1946 featured several Latin American favorites including: Tres Palabras (Osvaldo Farres), Caminito de Tu Casa (Julio Alberto Hernandez), Chapinita (Miguel Sandoval) and Noche De Ronda (Augustin Lara).[49][50] Critical review of the albums in The New Records praised the orchestra's performance and hailed the collection as among the best new albums of Latin American music.[51]
During his tenure with the CBS Pan American Orchestra he also recorded several Mexican songs for Columbia records (#6201-X) with the Mexican vocalist Luis G. Roldan including: Tres Palabras (Osvaldo Farres) and Esta Noche Ha Pasado (M. Sabre Maroquin). [52][53][54] As a member of Alfredo Antonini's Viva America Orchestra he collaborated with the romantic latin trio Los Panchos to record La Palma- a Chilean cueca dance and the conga Rosa Negra for Pilotone records (#5067, #5069).[55]
In the realm of live international radio broadcasts, Serry also performed for the general public in both North and South America over the CBS Radio network. Several performances were enjoyed by Eleanor Roosevelt and various high level South American diplomats during the opening ceremonies of Macy's Latin-American Fair of 1942 in New York City.[37]
As a member of the Biviano Accordion & Rhythm Sextette, Serry recorded his work Leone Jump with Tony Mottola on guitar and Angelo Delleria on accordion for Sonora Records in 1945.[56][57][58] The album also features performances of several classic jazz favorites from the 1940s including: The Little Brown Jug (Joseph Winner), Golden Wedding (Jean Gabriel-Marie), Swing Low Sweet Chariot (Wallace Willis), That's A Plenty (Lew Pollack), and The Jazz Me Blues (Tom Delaney).[59][60] Later in the decade in 1949, the accordionist Joe Biviano collaborated with the RCA Victor Accordion Orchestra to record Serry's composition Manhattan Hop for the RCA Victor label (Catalog # 20-3388).[61]
Serry founded and operated a music studio in Manhattan and on Long Island, New York, and between 1945 and in the 1980s provided instruction on accordion, piano and organ.[35][62] He was invited to contribute to the annual series of Master Accordion Classes and seminars sponsored by the American Accordionists Association in New York City in August, 2000.[63] Over the years his pupils included Anthony Ettore, past president of the American Accordionist's Association,[64] and Robert Davine, an international accordionist and music educator at the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver.[65] Serry also publishing several method books for his elementary, intermediate and advanced grade students between 1945 and 1983.[19]
Like many accordionists of this era, Serry took note of the limitations imposed by the Stradella bass system during performances of classical music. In an effort to circumvent these limitations, he designed and developed a working model of a free-bass system for the accordion during this decade. It incorporated dual keyboards for the soloist's left hand while incorporating two sets of reeds which were tuned in octaves. This gave the soloist access to a range of tones which exceeded three and one-half octaves.[66]
1950-es évek: Élő TV szereplések
szerkesztésDuring the early days of network television in the 1950s, Serry performed at CBS as a staff member of the original CBS Orchestra (1949–1960) and an accompanist on several live network television programs including The Jackie Gleason Show in 1953, The Ed Sullivan Show in 1959, The Frank Sinatra Show (CBS TV series) in the 1950s, and with organist Billy Nalle,[67] on the prime time drama I Remember Mama in 1953 with Peggy Wood.
Serry also performed with Mitch Miller at Columbia Records to produce an LP demonstration recording in 1951. In 1951 he also arranged his compositions La Culebra and African Bolero for solo flute. He subsequently dedicated the scores to his close friend Julius Baker (first flautist for the Columbia Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra at CBS and for the New York Philharmonic)[68][69] He appeared under Andre Kostelanetz, the conductor on the Eastman Kodak Kinescope broadcasts in 1951.
Performances on the radio also continued and included: appearances as a member of the Magnante Accordion Quartet, on The Lucky Strike Hour, Waltz Time, and The American Melody Hour (1940s). He occasionally substituted for the quartet's founder Charles Magnante.[19]
On the Broadway stage he performed under director Harold Clurman in a production of Arthur Laurents play The Time of the Cuckoo with Shirley Booth and Dino Di Luca.[70][71][72] Serry served as soloist and musical director at the Empire Theatre on Broadway from 1952-1953.[15][73][74] He later joined the orchestra in the premier of Can-Can at the Shubert Theatre in 1953.
Serry recorded for Decca Records during this time and also collaborated with RCA Victor's Ben Selvin, producing an electrical transcription for RCA Thesaurus (1954). He composed, arranged and performed several compositions for Dot Records (#DLP3024) with Al Caiola and Bernie Leighton on his album Squeeze Play (1956).[75][76] The production received a critical review as a new popular album in The Billboard in 1956 and was cited for establishing a beautiful soothing mood.[77] The album was also critically reviewed in Cash Box magazine later that year. Serry was applauded for establishing a wide variety of musical moods with grace, while simultaneously emphasizing a relaxed performance style.[78] These activities led to Serry's nomination to the "Who Is Who In Music International" in 1958.[27]
His advanced grade composition for accordion, American Rhapsody was completed and published during in 1955, and he created a comprehensive course of instruction for students of the accordion at the U.S. School of Music at the start of this decade.
1960-as évek: Broadway színház
szerkesztésSerry collaborated on the Voice of Firestone series with the conductor Howard Barlow (guest conductor for NBC Television in 1961[79]) and on The Revlon Revue (1960) for CBS Television. He also appeared in several Broadway theatre productions including: Cabaret at the Imperial Theatre (1968);The Happy Time starring Robert Goulet at The Broadway Theatre (1968 Tony Award Best Musical), and Fiddler on the Roof starring Zero Mostel at the Majestic Theatre (1968).
In addition to entertaining audiences on Broadway, he was a member of the Seven-Up Continental Band, which performed at the 1964 New York World's Fair in the Seven-Up International Gardens Pavilion.[80][81][82][83][84][85][86]
On the Off Broadway stage, he emerged in the 1965 production of Gerard Calvi's La Grosse Valise at the 54th Street Theatre starring Ronald Fraser (actor) & Victor Spinetti (1965) (composer Gerard Calvi, lyrics by Harold Rome, musical director Lehman Engel).
Later in the decade he appeared in a revival by the bandleader Guy Lombardo of Oscar Hammerstein II's South Pacific at the Jones Beach Theater located in the Jones Beach State Park on Long Island, New York (1968).[87][88] The production featured Jerome Hines and Kathleen Nolan in the starring roles and was directed by Oscar Hammerstein II's son William Hammerstein.[87]
Returning to the classical concert venue, Serry served as the lead concert accordionist in performances of the New Ballet staged to the music of Tchaikovsky (the Orchestral Suite No. 2 (Tchaikovsky)) at the New York State Theater (1969).[89][90][91] The production was performed as part of the 20th anniversary season of the New York City Ballet. The performances featured both the choreography of Jacques d'Amboise in the premier of his Tchaikovsky Suite and the artistry of the musicians of the New York City Ballet Orchestra under the musical direction of Robert Irving.[92] Principal dancers in the corps de ballet included Francisco Moncion, Gerard Ebitz, and Nina Fedorova. [93][94][95]
His advanced grade composition Concerto For Free Bass Accordion was also completed during this decade in 1966. In the process, he contributed a definitive work for accordion which embraces both the classical music and symphonic jazz musical genres as expressed within the United States. (See Advanced compositions below & List of jazz-influenced classical compositions).
1970-2002: Liturgikus koncertek
szerkesztésAt the start of the 1970s, Serry continued his work as an accordionist in a limited revival production of Fiddler on the Roof with Zero Mostel at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island, New York.[96] As the decade of the 1970s unfolded, however, the publics' interest in the accordion began to diminish. With this in mind, Serry elected to devote more time to playing as a concert organist.
During the course of the next thirty five years, he appeared as an independent free-lance chapel organist at the Interfaith Chapel of the Long Island University C W Post Campus[97][98] in Brookville, New York (1968–2002). In addition to performing liturgical music regularly during interfaith wedding ceremonies, he composed a "Processional for Organ" which was featured during the chapel's dedication ceremony. Working in collaboration with Peg Larson (Assistant Director-Chapel Scheduling), Rabbi Nathaniel Schwartz (Independent Chaplain) and clergymen from the Catholic Church, Serry arranged and performed musical programs for hundreds of wedding parties and their invited guests. His performances featured the Interfaith Chapel's Hammond organ utilizing a Leslie speaker, as well as its baroque Allen organ.[99][100][101]
In accordance with the ecumenical and liturgical guidelines for interfaith marriage ceremonies, Serry performed sacred music reflecting a variety of religious traditions, including: Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism, and Eastern Orthodox. His brief concerts were presented prior to each wedding ceremony on both the organ and the piano. Musical accompaniment was often provided for vocal soloists, hazzans, as well as cantors. His concerts featured classical and contemporary works by such composers as: Bach, Beethoven, Leonard Bernstein, John Denver, Mendelssohn, Jean-Joseph Mouret, Mozart, Purcell, Tchaikovsky, Satie, Vivaldi, Wagner, Charles Widor, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
