Album is SIGNED. ----- Ralph / Raphael Chicorel is best-known for his Pleasure Records (Milwaukee) label, as well as The Ray Tabs Trio and the excellent Lewis Explosion project. This copy is signed by Ralph, and is separated between Ralph's side and Joe Clonick's side, all originals. Joe, The Chicago native, majored in composition at Oberlin, studying with Professor of Music Composition and Theory Joseph Wood. But Clonick ultimately focused his career as a pianist on what he calls his "true love" in music, a genre for which there are not many outlets: "I carved out my tiny niche in classical improvisation." And although classical improvisation is foremost among his interests, he has been known to cross over. In Chicago, Clonick spent five years in the early 1960s as musical director and pianist at the Happy Medium, a cabaret theater. His next gig was as house pianist for the famed London House—"the finest jazz room at the time." Clonick took the stage when the featured acts (André Previn, for example) took their breaks. He calls Previn his "hero" for his success transcending all musical genres. Clonick left Chicago in 1969 for New York City, and an entirely new musical adventure. After auditioning to win a coveted spot in the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theater Workshop, sort of an Actors’ Studio for composers, Clonick became a fixture there and an Engel protégé—the director was considered one of the preeminent Broadway conductors in the 1940s and 1950s. Fellow students included Ed Kleban, the future lyricist for A Chorus Line, and Melanie Chartoff, who became an important collaborator. It was a nurturing and productive time, and Clonick wrote many shows, among them Scrooge: A Christmas Ghost Story, with lyricist Nancy Leeds. Clonick met one of his greatest friends and writing partners, Ralph Chicorel, when the latter poked around the edges of the workshop. While living in New York, Clonick found time to pursue a different kind of composing; he created crossword puzzles for the New York Times. An avid puzzle aficionado, he was a regular at the American Crosswords Puzzle Tournaments, and once finished third. It’s not a great leap from crosswords to trivia, and in 1994 Clonick parlayed his considerable talents into a four-program stint on the quiz show Jeopardy.
