Larry Kart Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 I see from a story about classical composer Joan Tower in today's NY Times that she was once married to jazz pianist Hod O'Brien. This brings to mind other little-known classical-jazz liasons: Morton Feldman/Anita O'Day Aaron Copland/Marian McPartland Nadia Boulanger/Sidney Bechet On the other hand, Ned Rorem/Annie Ross is a canard.

Larry Kart Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 Of course she wouldn't mention it -- look at a photo of Morty. Quote
Larry Kart Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 On the other hand, Morty never lacked for female companionship. Quote
Larry Kart Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 Wasn't Copland gay? Yes. I'm just trying to kid around. But about Elgar and Ma Rainey. Quote
paul secor Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 I believe that Julius Hemphill and Ursula Oppens were a couple. Quote
