TONY BENNETT:
“The Way You Look Tonight” won an Oscar in 1936. It was featured in the movie Swing Time with Fred Astaire. Jerome Kern wrote the music and Dorothy Fields the lyrics. Dorothy said that when she first heard the melody, she was so moved that she couldn’t stop crying. It is indeed so beautiful and so perfect for our portrait of Eileen.
“If you were mine….”

Ruby Braff was about 5 feet tall. He was from New York,City but he often played in Jersey, including the Monmouth County Library* (Eastern Branch) Sunday jazz series. He took up the cornet because a trumpet was too large for him.
According to Jack Livinsgtone of the Monmouth County Library, Braff was an unusual character. One time there was a Sunday blizzard, and Braff called and said “Are you crazy, I’m not coming to that #@&* place in Jersey.” But then he walked in later and said, “Where is everybody?”
Dick Hyman was the musical director for many of Woody’s movies, and we heard him and Art Topilow (a Jersey Shore pianist) perform live a few years back at the Axelrod Theater in Deal.
