Episode 101: Promise
The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.
This episode was originally released in December of 2016
A note on notes: We’d much rather you just went into each episode of The Memory Palace cold. And just let the story take you where it well. So, we don’t suggest looking into the show notes first.
Music
Starts with Christope Beck and DeadMono’s theme to Charlie Countryman.
Prelude for HS by Hakon Stene.
Tezeta (Nostalgia) from Malatu Astatke, from Ethiopiques vol. 4, one of my favorite pieces of music in the world.
Marian Lapansky plays Camille Saint-Saens “Le Sygne.”
Which fights with Piero Umiliani’s Danza Primitiva.
Warren Ellis rounds it out with his Lale’s Theme from his terrific score to Mustang (which you should totally see).
The Hazel Scott pieces can be found here and here.
Notes
I first heard about Hazel Scott while reading Rad American Women from A to Z to my daughter. It’s a wonderful book. You should buy it for any kid in your life.
I read a lot about Hazel, but Karen Chilton’s biography, Hazel Scott: A Pioneering Jazz Pianist from Cafe Society to HUAC was essential.
