Equilibrium Records to Release "Someone Talked! Memories of World War II"
with Grammy Award-winner William Bolcom, Joan Morris, Robert White, and
Hazen Schumacher
Ann Arbor, Michigan – October 1, 2009. Recalling a time of patriotism,
heroism, and happy homecomings, "Someone Talked! Memories of World War II"
transports listeners back to the era of USO Shows, war bonds, and Victory
Gardens. Featuring Grammy Award-winning composer and pianist William
Bolcom, internationally acclaimed soloists Joan Morris and Robert White,
and jazz historian Hazen Schumacher, this “radio show in miniature”
includes 19 songs from America’s wartime songbook interlaced with 20
narrations that tell the story of life on the battlefront and the
homefront, circa 1940s.
“Today, many feel the need to express their thanks to our veterans, and
that impulse was where the idea for 'Someone Talked' originated,” said
pianist William Bolcom. “This recording is also for those who are too
young to be in any way connected to war. For them, World War II will
certainly be unknown territory, and we wanted this to be a step toward
understanding what the war felt like here at home.”
Produced by Equilibrium Records at Brookwood Studio; official release date:
October 13th. Available now through www.equilibri.com. Physical
distribution by Albany Music Distribution to Borders Books and Music,
