Description
An audio recording of "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise," composed by Sigmund Romberg (1887-1951), with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960), and performed by Ira Sullivan (b. 1931) live on-air on WUCF-FM on December 8, 2006. A multi-instrumentalist, Sullivan was a crucial part of the Chicago jazz scene of the 1950s, performing with numerous artists, including a stint with Art Blakey (1919-1990) and the Jazz Messengers in 1956. He left the spotlight and moved to Florida to raise his family in the early 1960s, eventually starting a quintet with Red Rodney (1927-1994). Sullivan taught summers at the University of Miami's Young Musician's Camp, in which professional musicians and faculty from the UM School of Music instructed students between 7 and 18 years old in classical music, jazz, rock, songwriting, composition, and musical theater. "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise" is a jazz standard written by Romberg and Hammerstein for the 1928 operetta, The New Moon. Originally composed as a tango, the first noteworthy jazz version is the 1938 recording by Artie Shaw (1910-2004).

Although most songwriters were under contract to publishers during the big band era, in rare cases, a bandleader would write his/her own song. Savitt, along with Adamson and Watson, composed "It's a Wonderful World," and recorded it on Savitt's 1938-1941 recording collection, It's Time to Jump and Shout.
