This month’s podcasts will be in two parts and feature legendary woodwind musician, George Young. Part one will focus on the early days. Both musicians and non-musicians will be inspired by George’s focus and discipline in developing his musical gift. When first I started working with my husband, Alfred, over 40 years ago, he told me tales of his years with George Young. They had met in Wildwood, NJ, during a time when live music was plentiful and clubs were packed. They worked together for a few years as the George Young Review, which played show houses in many major metropolitan cities and also performed on the Ed Sullivan Show.Then George went on to take his place among jazz’s most respected “session musicians” whose work in recording studios for record companies, films, television productions and commercials has kept him pretty much flying under the radar However, he has also performed and toured internationally with countless bands and is a wonderful composer.After gigs, Alfred and I used to drive into NYC to see him perform at Mikel’s or jazz brunches on Sundays and when we recorded our two CDs, George played on several tunes. This podcast will be in two parts, the first focusing on his early days. The second part will air two weeks later.George says “Keep Moving!” and he sure does!You can learn more and contact George on his web site.www.GeorgeYoungMusic.com

You may not know that I have been a musician, performer and a composer for many years and am a member of a group called Amplify for indie musicians from all over the world to learn how to market our music. That’s where I met my two guests today, Fiona-Jane Weston and Cecelia “Cece” Otto.Fiona-Jane is a London based actress, singer, writer and cabaret producer. She has performed to great acclaim throughout the United Kingdom and overseas, including New York. Passionate about history, particularly women’s history, her unique highly acclaimed solo shows make a specific feature of real-life historic characters using their own words. Cece is an American based, classically trained singer, composer, international best-selling author and historian who has performed in more than 20 states and in venues all over the world. In 2013, she launched An American Songline with a cross-country musical journey along the Lincoln Highway. You can learn more about the accomplishments and other activities of these talented ladies right here:https://www.facebook.com/FionaJaneWestonWebsite:http://www.fionajaneweston.com/https://www.youtube.com/user/FionaJaneWestonhttps://www.facebook.com/cece.ottoWebsite: www.americansongline.comYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/AmericanSonglineBy popular demand, on August 21st at 8:00pm BST, Cece Otto and Fiona-Jane Weston will reprise their inaugural online concert that debuted in March. The show is Women Across the Water: How British and American Women Won the Vote!, and naturally they’ll be including all the great songs and stories from both sides of the Atlantic. If you didn’t catch it then, and/or would like to invite a person or two, this is your chance! They chose that date especially, because it is very nearly the anniversary of the American Women’s Equality Day. The 26th August, 1920 was the day of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote over there, so a significant date! Cece will explain more about it in the show. You can buy your tickets and see more information here: https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/38uw9q34zzbkh58lgnbr/qvh8h7h88nlv4efl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXZlbnRicml0ZS5jb20vZS93b21lbi1hY3Jvc3MtdGhlLXdhdGVyLWhvdy1icml0aXNoLWFuZC1hbWVyaWNhbi13b21lbi13b24tdGhlLXZvdGUtdGlja2V0cy0xNDM4MjEwOTE3NTc=

My guest this episode is Jeudi Cornejo Brealey, known as a “vintage voiced chanteuse,” who sings salvaged sweet jazz, from a time when the dance floor was the ultimate social platform, and romance was just a Fox Trot, Charleston, or Lindy Hop away. Her voice conveys the glamour of another era, transporting audiences through song, as “she evokes the old-school thrush, who sings with the band,” refreshing timeless standards and forgotten musical gems with her sentimental and swinging interpretations.Jeudi took a hiatus from her passion and raised two boys before feeling the calling to return to it a year ago when she launched “Love Outshines the Moon,” a bimonthly single release series featuring celestial-themed Jazz-Age era tunes, some well-known and others overlooked. Together these songs wax and wane poetic and energetic with timeless heart-felt truths. The release cycle continues through 2021. I consider Jeudi a real Bloomer, someone who is totally open to learning and expanding her knowledge of promoting herself as a unique indie artist.You’re invited to learn more about her at Jeudi.biz.Jeudi.bizBandcamp: https://jeudi.bandcamp.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/jeudi_vintage_voiced_chanteuse/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JeudiCornejoBrealey

He is the founder of The League of Remarkable Men, a community for men who are ready to level up in life and work.
