The lecture flowed effortlessly around performances of Kern\u2019s music by Dansker himself and the community&#8217;s two Cantors David Mintz of Touro and Joel Colman of Temple Sinai. In addition Jewish educator Deborah Mintz, David&#8217;s wife, performed in song, accompanying herself on guitar.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Meeks adroitly provided much of the music for the evening, on piano and accordion, though Cantor Mintz took over keyboard duties when his wife, Deborah, sang \u201cThe Way You Look Tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every performance was lively and beautiful, infused with joy or pathos and expertly delivered. Colman filled the Garden Pavilion with his sonorous bass-baritone voice, especially with his rendition of \u201cOld Man River&#8221; gleaned from Kern&#8217;s most important musical &#8220;Showboat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21463\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"George Dansker\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GeorgeDansker.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21463\" class=\"wp-image-21463 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GeorgeDansker-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"GeorgeDansker\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GeorgeDansker-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GeorgeDansker-1024x734.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/215;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21463\" class=\"wp-image-21463 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GeorgeDansker-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"GeorgeDansker\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GeorgeDansker-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GeorgeDansker-1024x734.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-21463\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Music enthusiast and scholar George Dansker. (Photo by Karen Lozinski)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dansker was sure to bring up the very salient point that though Kern, as a composer, is remembered more for his individual songs rather than his stage works, the major exception is &#8220;Showboat,&#8221; based on the story first published by Edna Ferber.<\/p>\n<p>Dansker talked of Kern\u2019s life and work in elegant detail, asserting that Kern not only stood at the crossroads of American musical theater and the more popular form of the day, the European operetta, but that he changed the course of American music. Dansker called on Kern\u2019s friend and colleague, composer Richard Rodgers, to provide some perspective on the significance of this change:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was a giant with one foot in Europe and the other in America. Before he died he picked up the European foot and planted it squarely alongside the American one. Jerome Kern was the first man to break with European tradition in theater music, in much the same sense that Beethoven was the last of the classicists and the first of the romanticists,&#8221; Dansker quoted Rodgers. &#8220;Thus, as American musical comedy began to replace European-style operetta as the most popular stage genre, Kern was again incredibly important in being one of the first to provide a bridge between the two forms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kern spent his early life growing up in New York City and Newark, New Jersey. His experience differed from fellow composers Irving Berlin and George Gershwin, as Kern was a product of a Jewish middle class upbringing, and therefore identified strongly as American, as opposed to having had to face the struggles of being a first generation immigrant.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his proclivities for music, the young Kern was eventually put to work in the family business, a department store in Newark. His father eventually agreed to allow him to pursue music after Kern purchased two hundred pianos from a salesman instead of the required two.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21464\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Deborah Mintz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DeborahMintz.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21464\" class=\"wp-image-21464 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DeborahMintz-300x265.jpg\" alt=\"DeborahMintz\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DeborahMintz-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DeborahMintz-1024x904.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/265;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21464\" class=\"wp-image-21464 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DeborahMintz-300x265.jpg\" alt=\"DeborahMintz\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DeborahMintz-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DeborahMintz-1024x904.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-21464\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deborah Mintz sings Jerome Kern. (Photo by Karen Lozinski)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>He went on to write over 1,000 songs and over 100 works for the stage, Dansker pointed out. Though Rodgers and Hammerstein&#8217;s &#8220;Oklahoma!&#8221; is frequently given the designation as having paved the way for the modern American musical form, &#8220;Showboat&#8221; and Kern&#8217;s influence, penned almost a generation earlier, cannot be understated, Dansker asserted.<\/p>\n<p>From the 1930s onward, Kern spent the bulk of his career in Hollywood, writing some of his best known songs such as \u201cThe Way You Look Tonight,\u201d which garnered him one of his two Academy Awards. He was nominated for an Oscar six times.<\/p>\n<p>Kern suffered an untimely demise due to a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 60 in New York City. In the moments that preceded his death, his dear friend and collaborator, Oscar Hammerstein II, sang one of Kern\u2019s favorite songs, their joint effort \u201cI\u2019ve Told Every Little Star,\u201d softly in his ear in an effort to extend some comfort to him. It was during that touching rendition of the song they shared that Jerome Kern passed away.<\/p>\n<p>Though it would be a near impossible task to touch on all the rich detail and relevant information researched, curated, and lovingly delivered by Dansker in his lecture, suffice to say the event provides an engaging learning experience for the novice and more initiated alike. The lecture and performance was brought to a close with a warm sing-along of the song \u201cLook for the Silver Lining,\u201d from which the presentation received its title.<\/p>\n<p><!-- default-view.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview default-view \n\t ngg-ajax-pagination-none\t\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-e8534e7383f50fedb5c0527281e8de71-1\">\n\n\t\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\" \n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/jerome-kern-program\/GroupPhoto2.JPG\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"From left, Jesse Reeks, George Dansker, Cantor David and Deborah Mintz and Cantor Joel Colman (Photo by Karen Lozinski)\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/jerome-kern-program\/GroupPhoto2.JPG\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/jerome-kern-program\/thumbs\/thumbs_GroupPhoto2.JPG\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"886\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"GroupPhoto[2]\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-description=\"From left, Jesse Reeks, George Dansker, Cantor David and Deborah Mintz and Cantor Joel Colman (Photo by Karen Lozinski)\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-slug=\"groupphoto2\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"shutterset_e8534e7383f50fedb5c0527281e8de71\">\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"GroupPhoto[2]\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"GroupPhoto[2]\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/jerome-kern-program\/thumbs\/thumbs_GroupPhoto2.JPG\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"100\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"75\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 100px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 100\/75;max-width:100%;\"\n\t\t\t\t src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"GroupPhoto[2]\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"GroupPhoto[2]\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/jerome-kern-program\/thumbs\/thumbs_GroupPhoto2.JPG\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"100\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"75\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"max-width:100%;\"\n\t\t\t\t\/><\/noscript>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-1\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\" \n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/jerome-kern-program\/DeborahMintz.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Deborah Mints sings at Jerome Kern program.
