bioghist
{"value"=>"<p> S. Frederick Starr (b. March 24, 1940; his first name, seldom used, is Stephen) is an American academic specializing in international relations, and is also a noted musician. In 1980, Starr, a talented jazz clarinetist, co-founded the Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble while serving at Tulane. Its members dedicate themselves to preserving the raucous pre-1930 jazz of New Orleans. The LRJE has performed across the United States. It gave the Doubleday Lecture at the Smithsonian Institution in March 1983, toured France and the former Soviet Union, and made national television appearances in Italy, Japan and Sweden. The Ensemble's albums include <span class=\"title\">Alive and Well</span> (1981), <span class=\"title\">Uptown Jazz</span> (1984) and <span class=\"title\">Hot & Sweet: Sounds of Lost New Orleans</span> (1986). S. Frederick Starr is author of <span class=\"title\">Red and hot: the fate of jazz in the Soviet Union 1917-1991; with a new chapter on the final years</span>(1994); <span class=\"title\">Bamboula!: the life and times of Louis Moreau Gottschalk</span> (1995) and others. Louis Moreau Gottschalk (b. New Orleans, 8 May 1829; d.Tijuca, Brazil, 18 Dec 1869), was a highly successful pianist and composer who studied with Berlioz in Paris. His \"considerable reputation as a composer of virtuoso piano pieces did not long survive his death, but a renewed interest in his life and works began in the 1930s and he is now generally acknowledged as one of the most significant 19th century American musicians, and his music as a direct precursor of ragtime\" (Grove Music Online).</p>"}
