PHILANTHROPIC FEAST ANNOUNCES NEW RESEARCH GRANTS AND
SHOWCASES PERFORMANCES BY RUFUS WAINWRIGHT AND SOPHIE BEEM
August 7, 2017 — The 13th Annual A Hamptons Happening celebrated culinary excellence, philanthropy and science for a cancer cure on August 5, 2017 to benefit the research programs of the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF). The event marked the announcement of two new SWCRF research grants and closed with exciting performances by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright and recording artist Sophie Beem, a protégé of Beyoncé.
Set under an expansive tent at the Bridgehampton estate of Maria and Kenneth Fishel, the fundraiser featured tastings from some of the leading chefs, restaurants and food and beverage brands in New York City and the Hamptons. Highlights included the announcements of two separate grants created by the SWCRF in collaboration with the Kate McGarrigle Foundation and the Ann Liguori Foundation for research in sarcoma and ovarian cancer, respectively. Ms. Liguori presented a $15,000 check to SWCRF Founder and CEO Samuel Waxman, M.D. during the announcement of their joint grant. Dr. Waxman then delivered an overview of the new SWCRF Partnership for Aging and Cancer Research, leading into the science auction led by auctioneer Lucas Hunt.
During the exciting live auction, Mr. Wainwright joined Mr. Hunt on the stage to announce his donation of a private meet-and-greet with him and the opportunity for the top bidder to enjoy at home for a month the Steinway piano he played during his performance at the event. The experience drew the evening’s highest bid of $20,000.
A Hamptons Happening was hosted by CBS 2 News anchor Chris Wragge and honored the achievements and charitable contributions of high-profile professionals from a wide range of industries: Glenn Myles, Chairman and CEO of First Wall Street Capital; Bobbie Lloyd, Chief Baking Officer of Magnolia Bakery; Shep Gordon, Talent Manager, Hollywood Film Agent, Producer and Author; Gabriel Kreuther, Owner and Executive Chef of Gabriel Kreuther Restaurant, a Michelin Star recipient, and Relais & Chateaux restaurant; and Margaret Hayes, President and CEO of Fashion Group International.
The honorees delivered heartfelt acceptance remarks during the awards ceremony hosted by Mr. Wragge as they received awards of recognition from Dr. Waxman and SWCRF Executive Director William T. Sullivan. In other highlights, Mr. Sullivan acknowledged the event chairs, sponsors, event partners, volunteers and staff members who contributed to the fundraiser’s success. He also presented a bouquet of flowers to Founding Chair Marion Waxman in recognition of her years of service to the SWCRF by spearheading the popular fundraiser.
This year’s benefit was chaired by event Co-Founder Marion Waxman and co-chairs Karen Amster-Young, Chris Arlotta, Jake Croman, Erica Linden-Fineberg, Jacob Frisch, Jessica Mackin-Cipro, Jennifer Saraf Myles and Jake Taub.
Notable attendees included: Lori Stokes, Sharon Wilkes Kinberg and Robert Kinberg, Sybil and David Yurman, Elin and Michael Nierenberg, Maria and Kenneth Fishel, Sandy and Marc Taub, Pamela Morgan, Norena Barbella, Laurie Schaffran, James Frankel, Lewis A.

Sullivan, Cesar Ricci, Karen Amster-Young, Chris Arlotta, Jake Croman, Erica Linden-Fineberg, Jacob Frisch, Jessica Mackin-Cipro, Jennifer Saraf Myles, Glenn Myles, Sarah and Chris Wragge, Elle Winter and Jake Taub.
During the week preceding the event, Magnolia Bakery introduced a limited-edition Hamptons Happening cupcake created by honoree Bobbie Lloyd for sale at Magnolia Bakery locations throughout New York City to support the event’s fundraising efforts for the SWCRF.
A Hamptons Happening is among the most eagerly awaited events of the Hamptons social calendar.

Free Musical Celebration of Duke Ellington’s 118th Birthday on Saturday, April 29, 1 to 3 PM, at Duke Ellington Statue in NYC

DUKE ELLINGTON CENTER FOR THE ARTS (DECFA) TO CELEBRATE 118^TH BIRTHDAY OF DUKE ELLINGTON WITH A FREE MUSICAL CELEBRATION ON APRIL 29, 2017 AT THE DUKE ELLINGTON STATUE AT 110^TH STREET AND FIFTH AVENUE FROM 1 TO 3 PM

The Program, Titled Ellington Swings in Harlem , Will Feature The Eli Yamin Orchestra , Jazz Vocalists Antoinette Montague and Marion Cowings, And Tony Waag and Members of His American Tap Dance Foundation

The Duke Ellington Center for the Arts (DECFA) will celebrate the 118th birthday of Duke Ellington with a Free all-Ellington musical performance on Saturday, April 29, 2017 from 1 to 3 PM which will be staged at the Duke Ellington statue that stands majestically at the corner of 110th Street and Fifth Avenue – the Gateway to Harlem, it was announced by noted dancer/choreographer Mercedes Ellington, Duke Ellington’s granddaughter, who is Founder/President of DECFA. http://decfa.org/

The musical program, titled Ellington Swings in Harlem, produced by Mercedes Ellington, will star jazz vocalists Antoinette Montague and Marion Cowings, Tony Waag and members of his American Tap Dance Foundation and the swinging Eli Yamin Orchestra (EYO), featuring singers James Zollar and Claire Daly.

“This annual birthday celebration at my grandfather’s statue is very special to me,” says Ms. Ellington. “Uncle Edward – the name Ellington preferred to be called by members of his family – tried to instill his values with me. I started the Duke Ellington Center for the Arts in 2004 to ensure that these values – his musical legacy and the term ‘beyond category,’ which he used to define excellence – will live on. Along with the great work of Wynton Marsalis in this area, we are dedicated to make Uncle Edward’s legacy continually meaningful to new generations of musicians and music lovers.”

DECFA is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that plans on developing Duke Ellington’s staggering number of musical compositions (over 3,000) into multi-disciplinary theatrical presentations and educational programs, to be performed in many different types of venues all over the globe. The Center also tries to keep an accurate record of all things Ellington for the benefit of future generations.

Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington was born April 29, 1899 in Washington, DC, and died on May 24, 1974 in New York City. He was America’s most prolific composer of the 20th century in both volume and variety.

That’s Life (song)

admin — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:34:44 +0000

“That’s Life” is a popular song written by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon and first recorded by Marion Montgomery. The most famous version is by Frank Sinatra, released on his 1966 album of the same name. Both the album and the song proved major successes for Sinatra. The song was a number-four hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached number one on the Easy Listening chart for three weeks in December 1966/January 1967.^[1]

It was sung on the soundtrack of the 2002 film The Good Thief by Bono, and the Sinatra version was featured in the film A Bronx Tale. Sinatra’s version was included on the in-game soundtrack to the video game Tony Hawk’s Underground 2. Choreographer Twyla Tharp used the Sinatra version in her ballet “Sinatra Suite,” originally performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov.

FRANK SINATRA LYRICS

“That’s Life”

That’s life (that’s life), that’s what all the people say
You’re ridin’ high in April, shot down in May
But I know I’m gonna change that tune
When I’m back on top, back on top in June

I said that’s life (that’s life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin’ on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down
’cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin’ around

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life (that’s life), I tell you I can’t deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain’t gonna buy it
And if I didn’t think it was worth one single try
I’d jump right on a big bird and then I’d fly

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin’ flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life (that’s life), that’s life and I can’t deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin’ out but my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothin’ shakin’ come this here July
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

My, my!
