John GrossFRSL (12 March 1935 – 10 January 2011) was an eminent English man of letters. A leading intellectual, writer, anthologist, and criticThe Spectator magazine called Gross "the best-read man in Britain", as did The Guardian. He was the editor of The Times Literary Supplement from 1974 to 1981, senior book editor and book critic on the staff of The New York Times from 1983 to 1989, and theatre critic for The Sunday Telegraph from 1989 to 2005. He also worked as assistant editor on Encounter and as literary editor of The New Statesman and Spectator magazines.
Early life and academic career
Gross was born and raised in London's East End, to Abraham Gross, a Jewish immigrant from the Polish-Jewish town of Gorokhov, from where Gross’s family escaped before the entire Jewish population was killed in the Holocaust, and to Muriel Gross, also of East European Jewish origin, whose parents came from Vitebsk, an area later made famous by the paintings of Chagall. He had one brother, Tony Gross, who founded Cutler and Gross, an international fashion eyewear business popular in the fashion and film industries. Among his cousins was the composer Lionel Bart.
John Gross(néJohn Curtis Gross; born on 30 May 1944 Burbank, California) is an American saxophone, flute and clarinet player.
Gross is known as a musician's musician, a mainstay, and in 1994, Saxophone Journal called him one of the most meaningful players on the American jazz scene. Gross is a jazz original, an improviser, a versatile accompanist and creator of a notational method called Multiphonics for the Saxophone.
Early career
Raised in a musical family, he launched his professional career at age eight in Los Angeles, playing the clarinet for the L.A. County Parks and Recreation Youth Orchestra. Gross studied clarinet with Phil Sobel and Vito Susca, and saxophone with Ronnie Lang and John Graas. As a child and youth Gross played in the Burbank Youth Symphony, All-Southern California Junior High School Orchestra, American Youth Symphony, L.A. All-City High School Band, I.O.F. Robin Hood Youth Band, and Sepulveda Youth Band.
At fourteen Gross was playing at the Gas House in Venice Beach, the epicenter of L.A. Beat culture (which led to a police visit, and the threat of juvenile detention for John and his date). John earned his jazz improv chops in L.A.’s jazz scene playing at venues such as the Hillcrest Club on Washington Boulevard with jazz greats such as Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Gary Peacock, and Horace Tapscott, who were participants of the scene at the time, and the shapers of L.A. jazz.
"He has managed to capture the particular aura that made even the poet's more mundane activities-of which there were many-fascinatingly boring, so to speak, rather than merely boringly boring."
"The catch phrase positively rejoices in being a formula, an accepted gambit, a ready-made reaction."
"The cliché is a hackneyed idiom that hopes that it can still palm itself off as a fresh response."
"To have had a religious upbringing at least assures that in your own mind you are a Jew first, and the object of other people's dislike second"
"My goal is either make something out of them or use them as is, ... I don't believe in destroying them."
"He had more time to develop his talents, ... And I get the benefit of it."
"Can something be ethical but illegal?"
"It does not look like the market will get into balance as quickly as people had anticipated."
"I think they're crazy. There are people that need places to stay and all they're talking about is Mardi Gras."
"At $1.75, some believed the market had reached its peak, and they said the same thing at $2. Now we're at $2.60 and nobody knows where the top is going to be."
