Let It Snow For Trombone: About the Composer

Jule Styne (born Julius Kerwin Stein) was a musical genius. (He’s one of my all-time faves!) Born in 1905 in London, he moved to Chicago as a kid. By age 10, he was playing with major symphonies.

Styne’s career took off in Hollywood. He teamed up with lyricist Sammy Cahn. Together, they cranked out hit after hit. Some of their bangers include:

• “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” (1945)
• “Time After Time” (1947)
• “Three Coins in the Fountain” (1954, Oscar winner)

(Fun fact: Styne wrote “Let It Snow” during a heatwave in Hollywood. Talk about irony!)

Styne’s talent was recognized big time. He won:

• An Oscar
• A Tony (London Award)
• Two Grammys
• An Emmy

(That’s what I call an EGOT sweep!)

Styne kept composing until his death in 1994. His legacy? Over 1,500 published songs. (That’s a lotta music, folks!)
