Screenwriter Jesse L. Lasky, Jr. tells his Hollywood tales as an insider stories and insights sparkling with poetry, humor, and the heat of first-hand observation. The son of the man who produced Hollywood’s first feature film, Jesse’s book is the history of the film industry, the birth of an artform, and a compelling personal memoir.
There are revealing portraits of Lasky Sr., and his partners Samuel Goldfish (later Goldwyn) and Cecil B. DeMille (for whom Jesse wrote 8 films, including “The Ten Commandments” and “Samson & Delilah”) – plus photos of friends and colleagues such as Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Alfred Hitchcock, Harry Cohn, Daryll Zanuck, Nick Ray and Sam Fuller.
From dating Jean Harlow to writing for Gary Cooper, and his pals Edward G. Robinson, and Yul Brynner – here are the artists and the conmen, the breathtaking creativity, and the destructive treachery.
And it is all described by a very witty man who knew everyone and saw everything - Jesse Lasky, Jr.

Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Join composer Richard Niles as he sits down with the extraordinary artists behind the creation of his groundbreaking album, "Adventures for Cello and Piano." In this podcast, discover the compelling WHY behind its creation, and the behind-the-scenes stories of HOW this innovative album came to life.
Richard Niles takes classical sophistication to new heights by blending it with contemporary audacity in his latest compositions – daring duets for cello and piano that defy traditional categorization. Is it Classical? Is it JAZZ? Dive deep into the creative process as Niles interviews the masterful virtuosos who brought his vision to our ears.
In these exclusive interviews, you'll hear from renowned cellist Dennis Karmazyn, esteemed English pianist Clive Dunstall, and the exceptional rhythm section duo of fretless bassist Mark Egan (Pat Metheny) and British drum phenomenon Ian Palmer. Learn how they came together to push the boundaries of "classical" Jazz with their artistry and innovation.
Grammy-winning composer Michael Gibbs describes Richard Niles' new project as "a delightful surprise – inquisitively engaging, intriguing, and masterfully played!" Jazzschool director Rob Ewing says, “The new album from composer Richard Niles demonstrates his compelling, playful rhythmic sense, combined with virtuosic yet tuneful melodies. Each performance in this rewarding set of pieces for cello and piano is rich with emotional expression, evoking a sense of exploration, wonder, and possibility. The addition of a world-class rhythm section on two of the tracks is a welcome bonus."
